�� � SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT This Settlement Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into as of October 31, 2014, ("Effective Date"), by and between Brett Leland Colbert ("Owner"), and the City of Redwood City, a municipal corporation ("City"). Owner and City may each be referred to as a "Party," and collectively, as the"Parties." ' RECITALS A. On or about May 2, 2014, the Owner purchased a single family home located at 1016 Warren Avenue in Redwood City and more particularly identified as APN 052-258-110-7 ("Property"). B. On or about July 24, 2006, the City adopted City Council Resolution No. 14723, establishing the Mezesville Historical Residential District ("MHRD"), and the Property was listed as a contributing property to the MHRD. C. On or about May 28, 2014, the Owner applied for a building permit to remodel the single family home on the Property. D. Beginning on or about June 5, 2014 and continuing until about June 20, 2014, the Owner, who stated that he believed that a building permit would be issued within a matter of days, substantially demolished the single family home on the Property located within the �D without obtaining any permission and/or permits from the City in violation of various provisions of state and local law, including, but not limited to, the City's Municipal Code ("Demolition Activities"). However, the Owner was mistaken that the pending permit would. authorize complete demolition of the house or authorize building a new house because building plans for a , new house(as opposed to a remodeled house)were not submitted to the City. E. At the time of the Demolition Activities, the Owner alleges he was unaware of the �D or that his Property was part of it, and after discovering these facts Owner stated he was very sorry about the loss of a historical resource and desires to give money to the City not only to redress the loss associated with the Demolition Activities, but also with the sincere hope that the money he provides, or some portion of it, can be used to educate the public about the MHRD and the cultural and historical benefits it offers to the community. F. The Owner is currently pursuing a building permit with the City in an effort to build a new single family home on the Property consistent with its historical character and which may require approval through a planning process ("Entitlement Process"). G. The Parties wish to enter into this Agreement to fully and finally resolve and settle Owner's liability for the Demolition Activities and provide the City with funds that might but are not obligated to be used to further the MHRD and public education on the subject.
