Thanks Len, I can initiate the dialogue with PeaceHealth. Will you be the main PW contact for the agreement, and will a
Right-of-Way Use Permit be required?

I like your suggestion. Lefs ask Peace Health to escrow an amount that is 110% of an estimate of demolition costs
prepared by an appropriate demolition contractor. We should put in a time limit (Philip may be able to estimate what is
reasonable), which would be subject to extension by mutual agreement. I would suggest an exchange of letters to
document the understanding.

I don't believe there are immediate plans to construct a fully-improved public street within the right-of-way. My
suggestion would be to accept an escrow or security deposit sufficient to cover the costs for demolition of the house
upon vacancy. Similar to a bond for public improvements, the City could exercise the security deposit if PeaceHealth
does not proceed with house removal in a reasonable timeframe. During our phone discussion, Mr. Farrington
proposed an escrow deposit of about $5,000, but I don't know if that's a reasonable cost estimate for the demolition. 'In
addition to the house and foundation, there may be an underground septic system and other buried utilities
encroaching within the right-of-way that would have to be decommissioned and removed. The City could require
PeaceHealth to provide a written estimate for the demolition work to ensure the security deposit is adequate. Thanks

Gentlemen: I spoke with PeaceHealth's Philip Farrington earlier today regarding a structural encroachment onto
undeveloped public right-of-way (see Surveyor's field notes below). Peace Health is seeking final plat of a 2-lot partition
affecting the large parent parcel containing the encroaching house, but Staff have:not signed-off on the final plat
pending resolution of this issue. The subject house was identifiedfor removal in the 2006 Riverbend Pha'se II tentative

Office. The Riverbend Phase II subdivision plat did not contemplate the structure remaining a~ an encroachment onto
public right-of-way. Moreover, the house is not connected to City utilities because it was not intended to remain part of
the hospital campus.
Mr. Farrington advised that the house is being used as a hospice for a terminally ill cancer patient and PeaceHealth has
been awaiting the eventual 'vacancy' of the house before demolition will begin. Fortunately (for the patient atleast),
the duration of occupancy has been somewhat longer than originally anticipated.
According to Mr. Farrington, there were some previous discussions between PeaceHealth andCMO regarding the house
and that it would be removed when occupancy ceased. Staff are not aware of a written agreement between
PeaceHealth and the City allowing the house to remain on City right-of-way for an undetermined period oftime.
Staff are requesting clear direction for a satisfactory resolution to this matter. The options could include, but are not
limited to the following: .'
1) Requiring PeaceHealth to remove the structure immediately in accordance with executed agreements and land
use approvals; .
2) Postponing Final Partition Plat approval indefinitely, until the house structure is removed;
3) Accepting a security deposit to cover estimated house demolition costs, in lieu of immediate removal;
4) Executing a deed restriction (or similar mechanism) against the parcel containing the house,with a defined date
for house .removal or "sunset clausell;
S) AllowingPeaceHealth to proceed with the Final Partition Plat with the understanding and expectation that the
house will be removed in due time.

In reference to John Davis' call this morning inquiring about what was required to show the encroaching house and
attachments into the "Future Street {not named)", see below, I have met with Dennis Ernst, City Surveyor, and Andy
Limbird, Planner. In trying to determine the best way to address the issue, we have found that the structure in question
was tagged as "to be removed" per the accepted plans by the City of Springfield for the approval of the plat of Riverbend
Phase II.
Therefore, due to this fact and that fact that the structure is within City dedicated right of way per Riverbend Phase II,
neither the City Surveyor nor the City Planning department can approve the Partition of Lot 8 until the structure is
removed from the right of way.
If you have any questions please feel fre~ to contact City Surveyor Dennis Ernst, Planner for the project Andy Limbird, or

Tod,
We did the field check on Riverbend Lot 8 last Friday. Here are our'findings:
SHEET I:
. . We didn't find a monument in the ground at "monument#61" but there was a rebar with a KPFF cap laying on
the ground nearby. Maybe it was going to have been reset'and someone forgot about it? Our field crew said it
didn't look likely that it had been recently pulled out by construction.
. At the monument just above "C115", we found a 1" brass cap instead of a rebar with plastic cap. Also the
monument just southerly of this monument, at the other end of "C119", is a 1" brass cap.

Good Morning,
I have had a few conversations with Philip about numerous aspects of the RiverBend development but don't recall
anything specific to this topic. Typically the themes of our talks have centered around general.descriptions of issues or
fairly high level views of plans, certainly nothing that I would characterize as an agreement on any component oftheir
development efforts.' Thanks.

RE: Lot 8 Partition Plat-Field Site Check
. Andy:
Thanks for the heads up you gave me about this a week or so ago, Isn't "the agreement" Gino inquires about the SDC-
required development agreement executed iollowing the land use approval? Unless the encroachment impedes a PW
bonfire improvement project (and I don't think it does?), I don't see any benefit by taking a tough stance on this. Wouldn't
a right of way use permit go a long way toward reasonably solving this problem. We could secure that with a bond or
other assurance if there is anxiety about PH performing at some point. Please keep me in the loop as you work though
this. Thanks,

Gentlemen: I spoke with Peace Health's Philip Farrington earlier today regarding a structural encroachment onto
undeveloped public right-of-way (see Surveyor's field notes below). PeaceHealth is seeking final plat of a 2-lot partition
affecting the large parent parcel containing the encroaching house, but Staff have not signed-off on the final plat
pending resolution of this issue. The subject house was identified for removal in the 2006 Riverbend Phase II tentative
subdivision plan (Planning Case SUB2006-00044) and was discovered during recent field checks by the City Surveyor's
Office. The Riverbend Phase II subdivision plat did not contemplate the structure remaining asan encroachment onto
public right-of-way. Moreover, the house is'not connected to City utilities because it was not intended to remain part of
the hospitakampus.
Mr. Farrington advised that the house is being used as a hospice for a terminally ill cancer patient and PeaceHealth has
been awaiting the eventual 'vacancy' of the house before demolition will begin. Fortunately (for the patient at least),
the duration of .occupancy has been somewhat longer than originally anticipated. , .' 10
