WHEREAS, this Agreement is required as a condition of approval
by the City of Encinitas of a subdivision project as defined in
section 21065 of the Public Resources Code and pursuant to City of
Encinitas Municipal Code section 24.16,060 and section 24.29.040;

. 532 .
being subdivided and developed as TPM 96-041 that will use and
enjoy the benefit of said sewer. A complete legal description of
said real property is attached, labeled Exhibit B, and incorporated
by reference. Said real property is hereinafter referred to as the
"property"; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Developer that said private
sewer be maintained in a safe and usable condition by the lot
owners; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Developer to establish a
method for the maintenance and repair of said private sewer and for
the apportionment of the expense of such maintenance and repair
among existing and future lot owners; and
WHEREAS, it is the intention of the Developer that this
Agreement constitute a covenant running with the land, binding upon
each successive lot owner of all or any portion of the property.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. The property is benefitted by this Agreement, and present
and successive lot owners of all or any portion of the property are
expressly bound hereby for the benefit of the land.
2. The cost and expense of maintaining the private sewer
shall be divided equally among the subdivided parcels created in
RM/hz/BC4-122wp51 (12-06-93)
I
. 533 .
the subdivision and paid by the lot owner of the heirs, assigns and
successors in interest of each such owner.
3. In the event any of the herein described parcels of land
are subdivided further, the lot owners, heirs, assigns and
successors in interest of each such newly created parcel shall be
liable under this Agreement for their then pro rata share of
expenses and such pro rata shares of expenses shall be computed to
reflect such newly created parcels.
4. The repairs and maintenance to be performed under this
Agreement shall be limited to the following unless the consent for
additional work is agreed to by a majority vote of the lot owners
owning 100% of the number of parcels, including subdivisions
thereof as described in Paragraph 3 above:
Reasonable sewer improvements and maintenance work to
adequately maintain the sewer facility and related structures.
Such repairs and maintenance shall include, without
limitation, repairing cracks, leaks, stoppage, damage caused
to sewer easement landscaping and any structures allowed in
said easement such as driveways, walls, water lines, etc., and
other work reasonably necessary and proper to repair and
preserve the sewer system and related easements;
5. Any extraordinary repair required to correct damage to
said sewer that results from action taken or contracted for by lot
owners or their successors in interest shall be paid for by the
party taking action or party contracting for work which caused the
necessity for the extraordinary repair. The repair shall be such
as to restore the sewer to the condition existing prior to said
damage,

. 534 .
6. It is agreed that Developer is initially the agent to
contract and oversee and do all acts necessary to accomplish the
repairs and maintenance required and/or authorized under this
Agreement. Developer further agrees that the agent may at any time
be replaced at the direction of a majority of the lot owners.
Repair and maintenance work on the private sewer shall be commenced
when a majority of the lot owners agree in writing that such work
is needed. The agent shall obtain three bids from licensed
contractors and shall accept the lowest of said three bids and
shall then initiate the work. The agent shall be paid for all
costs incurred including a reasonable compensation for the agent's
services, and such costs shall be added to and paid as a part of
the repair and maintenance costs; provided, however, that
compensation for the agent's services shall in no event exceed an
amount equivalence to 10% of the actual cost of repairs and
maintenance performed. In performing his duties, the agent, as he
anticipates the need for funds, shall notify the parties and each
party shall within forty-five (45) days pay the agent, who shall
maintain a trustee account and also maintain accurate accounting
records which are to be available for inspection by any party or
authorized agent upon reasonable request. All such records shall
be retained by the agent for a period of five years.
7. Should any lot owner fail to pay the pro rata share of
costs and expenses as provided in this Agreement, then the agent or
any lot owner or owners shall be entitled without further notice to
RM/hz/BC4-122wp51 (12-06-93)
. 535 .
institute legal action for the collection of funds advanced on
behalf of such lot owner in accordance with the provisions of
California civil Code Section 845, and shall be entitled to recover
in such action in addition to the funds advanced, interest thereon
at the current prime rate of interest, until paid, all costs and
disbursements of such action, including such sum or sums as the
Court may fix as and for a reasonable attorney's fees.
8. Any liability of the lot owners for personal injury to
the agent hereunder, or to any worker employed to make repairs or
provide maintenance under this Agreement, or to third persons, as
well as any liability of the lot owners for damage to the property
of agent, or any such worker, or of any third persons, as a result
of or arising out of repairs and maintenance under this Agreement,
shall be borne, as between the lot owners in the same percentages
as they bear the costs and expenses of such repairs and
maintenance. Each lot owner shall be responsible for and maintain
his own insurance, if any. By this Agreement, the Developer does
not intend to provide for the sharing of liability with respect to
personal injury or property damage other than that attributable to
the repairs and maintenance undertaken under this Agreement. Each
of the lot owners agrees to indemnify the others from any and all
liability for injury to himself or damage to his property when such
injury or damage results from, arises out of, or is attributable to
any maintenance or repairs undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.
