8. GISEN SETTLEMENT.
Mrs. Gisen originally filed for a building permit
approximately one year ago to build an addition onto her
house at 3605 S. Bannock St. The addition would have
encroached into Englewood's City Ditch right-of-way. The
northwest corner of her house encroaches into the City Ditch
right-of-way. The City denied her request whereupon she
filed suit against the City to allow the proposed addition.
The suit was mediated at Arapahoe County District Court and
the above listed documents are the result of the mediation.
Englewood is proposing to quit claim Mrs. Gesin four square
feet of City Ditch righ t-of-way to allow room for
improvements to her existing residence. No further
expansion will be allowed. The License Agreement will allow
her to use and maintain the City Ditch right-of-way as part
of her back yard, but no permanent improvements may be
constructed in this area. The Mutual Release and Settlement
Agreement is the final settlement that was agreed to by all
parties.
