This is just one item that we will be discussing with the appellant before the appeal hearing and, based on your response, it looks like the City may be prepared to concede this point. Two segments of the damaged sidewalk will be removed to accommodate curb cuts, driveways and ADA ramps when the site develops. This will reduce the number of sidewalk panels requiring replacement, but I'm not sure how much linear distance will remain. Andy From: FERSCHWEILER Greg Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 3:13 PM To: LIMBIRD Andrew Cc: CONLON Brian Subject: FW: Sidewalk on Marcola road So I talked to Brian. His recollection is that the City as well as the county and/or SUB may be responsible for the damage. No concrete answer as to who did it. Brain did authorized a sidewalk repair based on a discussion that our mower may have done the damage. I think the Maintenance Division would not support a rebuttal to the appeal. It would be hard to argue that the property owner is responsible when another agency may have done the damage. Somewhat falls to our arena as we are the maintainers ofthe City infrastructure.

What do you recall about the sidewalk off Marcola road before crossing the river. It is in front of the school. In a drc we asked the school to fix the sidewalk as a requirement for development. They appealed stating that maintenance activities did the damage. looking for any information you may have. From: THOMPSON Todd Sent: Thursday, March 18, 2010 12:48 PM To: FERSCHWEILER Greg Cc: ELLIOTT Mel; KINTIGH Stacey Subject: FW: Sidewalk on Marcola road Greg, I took some measurements beginning on the furthermost eastern end of the sidewalk in question. All widths are 7'. Next to the driveway is a cracked 7' panel. Approximately SO' to the west begins the long crack that appears to be many years old. This cracked sidewalk continues for 260'. Continuing west there is 49' of newer sidewalk that is cracked similarly. Continuing further west near the small "off the sidewalk" ped-electric station there are additional panels cracked in the same manner. I measured 56' more that is cracked here. I would need to get a bid for an accurate cost for such a large job.

The sidewalk from south of the bridge on the east side. The city did consider the area from east side ofthe sidewalk to the fence as R.O. W. The further north the wider the R.O.W. We had a smaller tractor with a side mounted mower at that time. This area was on the mow list and the tractor would drive down the sidewalk mowing. There was cracking even back then. There is also different utilities in this area, and they would and still set up or cross the sidewalk when working in this area. Todd measured the cracked area, can add to this e-mail from his notes and pass it on to you Greg. 2 Date Received: ~4.~/.ItJ/J Planner: AL /
