As you are aware, the Uniform Building Code and other applicable codes do not require the City to issue a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy in this instance. However, the City is willing to issue such a certificate in exchange for your clients' promise not to claim additional damages arising out of their occupancy of the house prior to City Council determination of what action needs to be taken to remedy the grading that has occurred in the 0-75 foot setback. It is ray request that the letter submitted by Mr. Waters and Ms. Molitor-Waters be revised to include the Mayor, City Council, and the agents and employees of the City after each reference to "the City" in your last paragraph. As discussed during our phone conversation on October 1, the last paragraph needs to state that your clients are willing to hold harmless and indemnify the City for any costs it incurs due to any Mr. David Davenport October 5, 1987 Page two claims made by your clients for damages or costs incurred or arising out of your clients' occupancy of the house, including but not limited to attorney and consultant fees. Finally, the last paragraph of your clients’ letter also needs to be clarified to state that the City will be held harmless for any property damage arising out of their occupancy prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. A formal application for a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy can be made to the City staff. I have recommended the issuance of such certificate provided the house meets all applicable code regulations and your clients agree to fulfill every condition required by City staff. If you have any objections to or questions about the contents of this letter, I request that you notify me by Monday afternoon. Very truly yours, Kathleen A. Blatz KAB/jmp/4552w cct Mark Bernhardson Todd V. Waters Doris J. Molitor-Waters L
