09-22-1980-Resolution-City Policy on Driveways and Sidewalks on Easements-09/22/1980POLICY
It is the Policy of this City Council that the City will
at its sole discretion, repair sidewalks and driveways over
easements in the same material as prior construction, but no
guarantee or warranty as to workmanship will IV to
the landowner, and the city shall not be liable in damages in
any manner therefor. Landowners should be aware, and are
presumed to know, that public streets and utility easements
are owned and controlled by the City. Should the landowner
desire guarantee as to workmanship for such repairs, such
landowner should contract with a private contractor for such
work, at the sole cost of the landowner, and at no cost to
the city. Although the city assumes responsbility for fi11-
ing excavations made by the city to repair water or sewer
leaks, or replace utility mains or lines, the city does not
thereby, directly or indirectly, incur or assume any liability
or responsibility to the landowner for damages to the property
over, or adjacent to the easement, or to any person who owns
improvements constructed over easements. Landowners who con-
struct or plant objects or improvements over a city street or
utility easement are solely, exclusively, and totally respon-
Bible for those improvements, and their repair. It is the
policy of this City Council that this discretionary repair
policy is restricted to sidewalks and driveways and that no
repairs shall be made to any other obstructions placed over
easements.
