future owners, successors, and assigns of the Declarant(s). The Declarant(s), future
owners, successors, and assigns of the Declarant(s) shall be referred to collectively as
"Owners."
2. The Owners of the Property agree that the Property contains one or more stormwater
management facilities referred to as a "BMP," which was installed to mitigate the
stormwater quantity and quality impacts of some or all of the impervious or non-native
pervious surfaces on the property.
a. For infiltration -based BMPs, the BMP shall include all pretreatment devices
upstream, the infiltration facility, and a minimum of 3-feet of soil beneath the
infiltration contact layer, defined as the elevation at which runoff enters native
soils.
b. For bio-retention or rain garden BMPs, the BMP shall include all pretreatment
devices upstream, the retention facility, the vegetation within the retention facility,
and a minimum of 3-feet of soil beneath the infiltration contact layer, defined as
the elevation at which runoff enters native soils. While specific plants are not
necessarily required, a quantitative amount of vegetation coverage is required and
may be subject to maintenance requests per Section 5.
c. For dispersion based BMPs, the BMP shall include all pretreatment devices
upstream, the dispersion mechanism/device, and all elements of the downstream
vegetated flow path, including restrictions on slopes and surface materials, as
required by ECDC 18.30.
d. For detention BMPs, the BMP shall include all pretreatment devices upstream, the
detention device, and the control structure device.
e. For reduced impervious footprints, the BMP shall include all areas which are used
as mitigation credits, including a full ten foot (10') driveway width when using
wheel strip driveways.

approved site plan, Exhibit B, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference
as if set forth in full, and design details shall be maintained and may not be changed
without written approval either from the Engineering Division of the City of Edmonds or
through a future development permit from the City of Edmonds. Chemical fertilizers and
pesticides shall not be used where a BMP is located. All costs of maintenance and repair
shall be the sole responsibility of the Owners.

the system shall also be checked to ensure that the overflow system is working properly.
The Owners also shall maintain all BMPs so they function as designed on a year-round
basis.
5. The City of Edmonds is hereby granted by the Owners the right, but not the obligation, to
enter upon the Property described on Exhibit A at all reasonable times for the purpose of
inspecting the private stormwater BMP facility. If, as the result of any such inspection,
the City of Edmonds determines that the BMP is in disrepair, requires maintenance or
repair, or is otherwise not functioning as provided in the site plan, the City Engineer or
his designee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to order the Owners to maintain
or repair the same_ The Owners agree to maintain reasonable one-man access to all
portions of the BMP and shall avoid permanent or lockable obstructions from blocking a
reasonable path of access by City inspectors. Such obstruction may be the sole cause for
the City to request maintenance as noted above.
6. if the City of Edmonds determines that the BMP requires maintenance or repair pursuant
to Section 5, the City of Edmonds shall provide notice to the Owners of the deadline
within which such maintenance or repair must be completed. Said notice may further
advise that, should the Owners fail to perform required maintenance or make repairs
within the established deadline, the work may be done by the City or a contractor
designated by the City Engineer and the expense thereof shall be charged to the Owners.
The City's officers, agents, employees, and contractors shall have the right, which is
hereby granted by the Owners, to enter upon the Property described on Exhibit A in order
to perform such work. The Owners shall bear the cost of all work performed.

officials, employees and agents from any and all claims, demands, suits, penalties, losses,
damages, judgments, attorneys' fees and/or costs of any kind whatsoever, arising out of
or in any way resulting from the approval of the BMP(s), the installation and presence of
the BMP(s), and the acts or omissions of the Owners, their officers, employees,
contractors, and agents relating to the construction, operation and maintenance of the
BMP(s) on the Property, except for the City's intentional and willful tortious acts, and
