Easement Agreement
With Covenant and Indemnity Provisions
Preamble and Recitals
This Agreement is entered into on February�'g 1997, by and between Gary M. Bergman
and Debra D. Bergman, Co-Trustees or their successors in Trust, under the Bergman Family Trust
dated December 16, 1992, herein referred to as "Grantor," and Gregory T. Johnson, who is also
known as Greg Johnson, a married man, herein referred to as "Grantee."
A. Grantor is the owner of that certain real property situated in the City of Encinitas,
California, herein referred to as the "Servient Tenement," commonly known as 145 Diana Street,
and more particularly described in Exhibit "A" which is attached to this Agreement and herein by
incorporated by reference.
B. Grantee is the owner of certain real property located in the City of Encinitas,
commonly known as 159 Diana Street, and more particularly described in Exhibit "B," which is
attached to this Agreement and hereby incorporated by reference.
C. Grantee desires to acquire certain rights from the Servient Tenement, and is
prepared to make certain covenants, promises, and assurances in order to acquire those rights.
Grant of Easement
1. In consideration of the various covenants described hereinafter, Grantor
grants to Grantee an easement, subject to the terms of this Agreement.
Character of Easement
2. The easement granted in this Agreement is appurtenant to the Dominant
Tenement.
Description of Easement
3.A. The easement granted in this Agreement shall be for a right-of-way along
a portion of the westerly edge of the Servient Tenement, and commencing 31' from the southerly
terminus of such westerly edge, then proceeding northerly to the intersection of such property line
with Diana Street, having a width of five feet six inches, subject to the further restrictions and
limitations described herein, for the sole purpose of the construction and the maintenance of a
retaining wall, to be constructed and maintained by Grantee, which retains not more than nine feet
(9') of earth, and which is not more than nine feet (9') in height.
3.B. The patties to this agreement understand and agree that it may be difficult
or impossible to accurately determine to true legal boundary between their properties due to the
inherent difference between measurements of record, and the "as built" configuration of their
properties. Thus the parties agree that the "Agreed Boundary" between their parcels shall be a
straight line which is drawn between the right-angle corner.of the existing concrete block wall near
the northerly end of the coterminous boundary, and the easterly edge of the existing concrete
block situated along the southerly 31 feet of the coterminous boundary. To commemorate these
two points the parties shall cause metal monuments to be driven into the ground at each of these
two points, to serve as a permanent reminder of their locations in the future, and neither party
shall ever disturb these two monuments. Although the line drawn between these two points is less
than the full distance of the coterminous boundary, northerly and southerly extensions of this
straight line shall complete the Agreed Boundary between the two properties.
Covenant Re: Construction and Maintenance of Retaining Wall
and Repair of Driveway
4.A. Upon delivery of this Deed of Easement, Grantee shall, within two (2)
months, commence the construction of the retaining wall described herein, and shall complete the
construction within four (4) months. Such retaining wall shall be constructed of concrete block,
with all cells filled. The wail shall be mechanically connected in a good workmanlike manner to
the existing block wall at its south terminus. The footing of such wall may key at right angles
toward the Servient Tenement, so long as that footing does not impose beyond the margins of the
easement right-of-way described in Paragraph 3, above.
4.B. The retaining wall shall be constructed parallel to the Agreed Boundary
described in paragraph 3.B., above, and its easterly surface shall not be contracted any further east
of the Agreed Boundary than 40 inches.
4.C. The construction of such retaining wall shall be completed entirely at
Grantee's expense. Grantee shall keep Grantor's property free and clear of all liens and
encumbrances, including, but not limited to Mechanic's Liens.
4.D. Grantee shall, before commencement of construction, obtain from the City
of Encinitas a building permit for all such construction associated with such retaining wall.
4.E. Such retaining wall shall be reinforced with steel rebar, set in intervals of
not more than four feet (4'), continuous from the footing through all filled cells of the block wall.
Grantee shall comply with all requirements imposed by the City of Encinitas for the construction
of such block wall, including, but not limited to the insertion of steel reinforcement.
4.F. All work on such wall shall be completed within one hundred twenty (120)
days of the issuance of the building permit. If the wall is not completed within that time, and
2
unless this Agreement is extended in writing by the parties, this easement shall lapse.
4.G. Grantee shall thoroughly waterproof the earthward side of such block wall
before back-filling with a waterproofing emulsion acceptable to Grantor, and compliant with good
trade practices. Grantee shall insert protection board against such waterproofing emulsion before
back-filling the wall. The wall shall be constructed with a perforated drainpipe to be laid behind
it so that the top of the drainpipe, to be not less than four inches (4") in diameter, shall be at least
six inches (6") lower than the intersection of the top of the footing and the bottom of the first
course of concrete block. Such drainpipe shall be connected to vertical collection pipes with field
drains replaced at the height of the surface of the earth back-filled against the wall. The
perforated drain pipe shall be sleeved with anti-silting membrane, and the termini of the drainpipe
shall be connected to a drainage connection acceptable to Grantor so as to export water collected
behind such retaining wall. The entire wall should be back-filled with rock, with not more than
twelve inches (12") of topsoil placed on the surface of such rock.
4.11. The retaining wall shall be constructed in three different typical wall
sections, including "Wall A," "Wall B," and "Wall C." A site plan drawing of the situation of
such three retaining wall sections is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "C." Except, however,
and notwithstanding the site plan drawings, no new wall shall be constructed along the southerly
thirty-one (31') feet of the Agreed Boundary, and in this area the parties shall instead utilize the
\preexisting concrete block wall. Typical construction drawings of each of the three wall sections,
A, B, and C are attached hereto and marked as Exhibits "D," "E," and "F," respectively. A
drawing of the proposed sub-drain detail to be included in the construction of such wall sections
is attached hereto and marked as Exhibit "G."
4.I. Grantee shall deliver to Grantor, for Grantor's written approval, copies of
the approved and permitted plans for such wall not less than twenty (20) days before the
commencement of construction.
4.J. Notwithstanding any tern or provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
such wall and footing shall be constructed in such a manner as to not interfere with any
improvements already existing on the Servient Tenement, including, but not limited to any eaves,
footing, walls, or other structural members of structures or improvements existing on a Servient
Tenement at the time of this Agreement.
4.K. The driveway of Grantor's property, commencing at the public street and.
proceeding to the garage of Grantor's property, is old, partially deteriorated and raveled. During
the course of Grantee's construction it is anticipated that the driveway will be further degraded.
Accordingly, and in consideration of the other terms of this Agreement, Grantee shall, upon the
completion of the other improvements described by this Agreement, but before the completion of
the one hundred twenty (120) days described in Paragraph 4.E. of this Article, remove the
existing asphaltic emulsion and install a concrete driveway in the same location which is
reasonably fit for similar residential use, and to the full margins of the existing driveway, plus the
extension caused by the removal of the existing planter. In the event that the workman-like
completion of this driveway requires the removal of existing base, emulsion or aggregate, and/or
if such workman-like construction requires the addition of new base material, Grantee shall
3
X12
remove such existing materials and/or apply new base at Grantee's sole expense, and in the way
most likely to preserve the continued use of such driveway.
Indemnity Agreement
5. Grantee shall indemnify, hold and save the Grantor, and the Grantor's
successors and assigns in the Servient easement, safe and harmless from any claims of injuries or
properly loss associated with the construction, maintenance, or existence of such retaining wall
structure, including, but not limited to all damages, claims of damages, legal actions, arbitrations,
and attorney's fees.
Secondary Easement
6. This easement granted in this Agreement includes the incidental right to
come on the Servient Tenement for the purpose of constructing the easement described herein..
Grantee shall not, however, stockpile or store any materials on the Servient Tenement during the
course of construction, except for the temporary placement of earth excavated in connection with
construction of the footing. In such event, however, all excavated dirt shall be removed from the
Servient Tenement within five (5) days. In the event that there is any damage or defacement to
Servient Tenement between the course of construction, Grantee shall, within five (5) days of
written notice from Grantor, cause such despoliation to be repaired, replaced or corrected.
Term
7. Except as provided in Paragraph ya above, the easement granted by this
Agreement shall continue in effect for so long as such retaining wall is maintained in accordance
with the terms of the Agreement by Grantee. If such wall is ever removed for any reason, and/or
if the wall is not reasonably maintained by Grantee, then such easement shall lapse.
Non-Exclusive Easement
8. The easement granted in this Agreement shall be non-exclusive. Grantor
retains the right to make any use of the Servient Tenement, including the right to make concurrent
easements in the Servient Tenement to third parties, that does not interfere unreasonably with
Grantee's free use and enjoyment of the easement.

assigned by the Grantee without the prior written consent of the Grantor.
