RE: SW08-01 Denton Tap Sidewalk
George,
No problem whatsoever.
Per my previous discussions last year (with the intern that was handling
this, I think), I do not want to have any liability for the maintenance
or repair of the retaining wall, or any other improvements constructed
by the City. That being said, I believe this can be accomplished by
changing the word "GRANTEE" in the last paragraph, to "GRANTOR", where
it states,
"GRANTEE shall not be obligated for future maintenance and upkeep of the
surface area", to read:
"GRANTOR shall not be obligated for future maintenance, repair and/or
upkeep of the surface area or any improvements constructed thereon in
connection with the grant of this Easement."
My reason for this is that at least one time in the past, a car
traveling on Denton Tap has jumped the curb and damaged the property. I
lost a tree at that time. I don't want to be responsible for repairing
or replacing a retaining wall or sidewalk that I didn't pay for in the
first place, in the event a driver is uninsured or that I am otherwise
unable to collect for damages.
I'm granting this easement without any compensation (other than the
nominal statement of $10, so this addition can be the "other valuable
consideration".
Thanks.
Jay

Mr. Turner,
I would like to start off be apologizing for not getting back with you
earlier. I am not sure where everyone was at on the sidewalk easement
along Denton Tap. I have attached the necessary documents. You will
notice that there was a change to the original easement due to the need
for a retaining wall along the northwest corner of your property. If you
have any questions or would like to meet and talk about the project
please let me know.
Thank You,
