Council discusses easement encroachment, fence fee and possible apportionment among property owners
Summary
Staff described ongoing negotiations over an easement-encroachment agreement, a disputed retaining wall and an unpaid fence fee; the transcript records a $12,000 concept discussed among property owners and a possible one-third apportionment but no formal council action.
Council staff gave an update on an easement/encroachment matter involving a retaining wall, an unpaid fence fee and potential apportionment among property owners.
Staff said they had discussed a $12,000 concept with the closing attorney and circulated an updated easement encroachment agreement. The transcript records that property owners were negotiating among themselves about costs — including whether a retaining wall cost was $4,000 or $2,000 — and that one owner had not paid the fence fee. Staff said the parties had suggested splitting costs roughly one-third, one-third, one-third as a possible arrangement; staff also said the parties could adjust apportionment if an owner removed the offending structure.
The transcript shows ongoing negotiations and some readiness to close transactions if the council approved the current terms, but it does not record a formal motion, vote, or final settlement. The council did not commit to enforcement action in the recorded remarks.
