Covenant to Restore Due to Loss of Lateral Support

Rudy Hoffman AND  Paula Rasmussen

 

Larry Kwarsick, Public Works Director, along with Lew Legat, County Engineer, presented for the Board’s approval, Covenant to Restore Due to Loss of Lateral Support, for Rudy Hoffman and  Paula Rasmussen,  Section 7, Township 31N, Range 3E.    David L. Jamieson, Jr., Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, was present to provide additional  comments.

 

Mr. Kwarsick recalled that  condemnation action had been  initiated to secure interest in right of way in association  with Phase 2, East Camano Drive  project.  During the  course of that process, opportunity for settlement appeared likely in the form of an agreement to correct any  problems that the property owners thought could result from construction i.e. destabilization of a slope.  The County’s opinion,   based on professional experience and consultants, has been that that would not occur; however, it was  one of the primary issues held by the property owners and this  is one way the County agreed to resolve the issues with the property owners.

 

Mr. Jamieson confirmed that settlement documents have been executed awaiting signing of the this Covenant.  Settlement is in the amount of $7,050.00 which is  less expensive than having to go to court, and  avoids waiting until after trial to obtain the required  right of way.

 

By unanimous motion, the Board approved the  Covenant to Restore Due to Loss of Lateral Support in favor of  Rudy Hoffman and  Paula Rasmussen,  in Section 7, Township 31N, Range 3E.   

 

Drainfield Design Agreement- Brian L. and Lynne A. Kegley;

East Camano Drive, Phase  NO. 2

 

Mr. Kwarsick presented a second item involving East Camano Drive, Phase 2 Project, CRP 96-05, Work Order #208,  Drainfield Design Agreement with  Brian L. and Lynne A. Kegley,  Parcel #510-0980, Sec. 7, Twp 31N., R 3E.  The drainfield is partially  located within the right of way currently  owned by the county and rather than becoming involved in  potential litigation or claims, the County agreed  to work with the property  owner in the siting of a replacement drainfield.  This is the  first step, and there would be a follow-up agreement for installation of the replacement  drainfield once drainfield is designed.  

 

 

 

By unanimous motion, the Board approved Drainfield Design Agreement with  Brian L. and Lynne A. Kegley, in an amount not to exceed $2,000, Parcel #510-0980, Sec. 7, Twp 31N., R 3E., East Camano Drive, Phase 2 Project, CRP 96-05, Work Order #208.
