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. PASSED AND APPROVED THE 22nd C' y S c etary day of September, 198Q.
