Max Keech and Nahid Keech Encroachment Agreement 1
WHEREAS, Owner acknowledges the inherent risks associated with this deviation
from City standards and, as a condition of the City's approval of the modification, agrees to
indemnify the City against any resulting liabilities;
WHEREAS, said Permitted Improvements may interfere in the future with City's ability
to construct, operate, maintain, and replace City and other public facilities and improvements
within Right -of -Way; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to enter into this Agreement providing for
fulfillment of the conditions required by City to permit Owner to construct and maintain said
Permitted Improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
1. City and Owner acknowledge that the above Recitals are true and correct and are
hereby incorporated by reference into this Agreement.
2. It is mutually agreed that Permitted Improvements shall be defined as:
a. Owner shall lower the garage driveway elevation (at the back of the sidewalk)
facing Bayview Dive by approximately four inches (4"), well outside of the City's
standards that would normally require an eight inch (8") driveway elevation
above the adjacent gutter flowline.
b. With the foregoing, as approved by the Public Works Department and as shown
on Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
C. In addition, if any improvements actually built or installed during the time of
construction vary from Permitted Improvements approved herein, such
variations or changes must be approved in advance by the Public Works
Department and shall be shown on the "As Built" plans.
3. City will permit Owner to construct, reconstruct, install, maintain, use, operate, repair
and replace said Permitted Improvements and appurtenances incidental thereto,
within a portion of Right -of -Way, if in substantial conformance with the plans and
specifications on file in City. City will further allow Owner to take all reasonable
measures necessary or convenient in accomplishing the aforesaid activities.
4. Rights granted under this Agreement may be terminated by City with or without cause
and at any time without notice. City shall make good faith efforts to provide sixty (60)
calendar days' notice in advance of termination, specifying in said notice the date of
termination. City shall incur no liability whatsoever in the event of the termination of
this Agreement or subsequent removal of improvements by City.
Max Keech and Nahid Keech Encroachment Agreement 2
5. Owner and City further agree as follows:
a. Owner may construct and install Permitted Improvements and appurtenances
incidental thereto in substantial conformance with the plans and specifications
on file in City's Public Works Department, and as described on Exhibit A.
b. Owner shall maintain Permitted Improvements in accordance with generally
prevailing standards of maintenance and pay all costs and expenses incurred
in doing so. However, nothing herein shall be construed to require Owner to
maintain, replace or repair any City -owned pipeline, conduit or cable located in
or under said Permitted Improvements, except as otherwise provided herein.
C. If City or other public facilities or improvements are damaged by the installation
or presence of Permitted Improvements, Owner shall be responsible for the
cost of repairs and restoration of these public facilities or improvements to their
condition at the time of entry into this Agreement.
d. Should City be required to enter onto said Right -of -Way to exercise its primary
rights associated with said Right -of -Way, including but not limited to, the
maintenance, removal, repair, renewal, replacement or enlargement of existing
or future public facilities or improvements, City may remove portions of
Permitted Improvements, as required, and in such event:
(i) City shall notify Owner in advance of its intention to accomplish such
work, provided that an emergency situation does not exist.
(ii) Owner shall be responsible for arranging for any renewal, replacement,
or restoration of Permitted Improvements affected by such work by City.
(iii) City agrees to bear only the cost of any removal of Permitted
Improvements affected by such work by City.
(iv) Owner agrees to pay all costs for the renewal, replacement, or
restoration of Permitted Improvements.
6. In the event either party breaches any material provision of this Agreement, the other
party, at its option may, in addition to the other legal remedies available to it, terminate
this Agreement and, in the event the breaching party is Owner, City may enter upon
Right -of -Way and remove all or part of the improvements installed by Owner.
Termination because of breach shall be upon a minimum of ten (10) calendar days'
notice, with the notice specifying the date of termination.
7. In the event of any dispute or legal action arising under this Agreement, the prevailing
party shall not be entitled to attorneys' fees.
8. Owner shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless City, its City Council, boards and
commissions, officers and employees from and against any and all loss, damage,
liability, claims, suits, costs and expenses whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys'
Max Keech and Nahid Keech Encroachment Agreement 3
fees (when outside attorneys are so utilized), regardless of the merit or outcome of
any such claim or suit arising from or in any manner connected with the design,
construction, maintenance, or continued existence of Permitted Improvements.
9. Without limiting Consultant's indemnification of City, Owner expressly
acknowledges the increased risk of flooding and property damage caused by
lowering the driveway below City standards. Owner, its heirs, successors, and
assigns hereby forever releases and discharges the City from any and all
liability, and agrees to indemnify the City, for any loss, damage, liability, claims,
suits, costs and expenses whatsoever, including reasonable attorneys' fees
(when outside attorneys are so utilized), regardless of the merit or outcome of
any such claim or suit, brought by the Owner or third -party arising from or in
any manner connected with the Permitted Improvements or resulting from
Running Water —including, but not limited to, storm water, broken water lines,
or any other water source flowing from or along Goldenrod Avenue and/or
Bayview Drive —entering the Property or the surrounding properties as a result
of the lowered driveway elevation. Owner accepts all such risks as a condition
of the City's approval of the Permitted Improvements.
