of-way (the "Private ROW") beginning where the Public ROW terminates on the western boundary of the
Vacant Parcel, and continuing east along the southern boundary line of the HPA Parcel until the eastern
boundary of the Target Parcel, at which point the Private ROW connects with 23rd Avenue South.
D. The Private ROW straddles the boundary separating the City Parcels and the HPA Parcel,
with the City Parcels vested with the southern portion of the Private ROW and the HPA Parcel vested with
the northern portion of the Private ROW.
E. The City and HPA desire to grant each other a reciprocal non-exclusive easement across
their respective portions of the Private ROW (collectively, the "Easement Area") to utilize the existing
asphalt road and improvements located therein, and to provide certain terms with respect to the anticipated
redevelopment of the City Parcels and the HPA Parcel, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth
herein.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained herein and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties
hereby agree as follows:
1. Incorporation of Recitals. The recitals above are incorporated by reference in this Agreement as
though fully set forth herein.
2. Grant of Access Easement. The City hereby grants and conveys to HPA, its successors,
transferees, and assigns, a perpetual, non-exclusive easement over and across that certain portion
of the Easement Area within the City Parcels for the sole purpose of vehicular ingress and egress
to and from the public roads abutting the Easement Area. HPA hereby grants and conveys to the

Record Date:8/19/2021 3:22 PM King County, WA
City, its successors, transferees, and assigns, a perpetual, non-exclusive easement over and across
that certain portion of the Easement Area within the HPA Parcel for the sole purpose of vehicular
ingress and egress to and from the public roads abutting the Easement Area. The Easement Area
is legally described on Exhibit D attached hereto. The easements granted by the City and HPA to
each other pursuant to the terms of this Section. 2 shall be collectively referred to herein as the
"Access Easement."
3. Maintenance.
(a) General. The Parties shall be equally responsible for the repair, restoration (including,
without limitation, re -striping as may be reasonably necessary from time to time),
replacement, cleaning (including, without limitation, snow and ice removal), and
maintenance (collectively referred to herein as `.Maintenance ') of the existing asphalt
roadway within the Easement Area (the "Existing Roadw.a- "), and for the Maintenance of
any future improvements jointly constructed by the Parties within the Easement Area. All
Maintenance shall be completed (1) in a good and workmanlike manner, (ii) in compliance
with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, and (iii) by licensed, bonded
and insured contractors.
(b) Costs. Any improvements constructed and paid for by a single Party, and which are used
exclusively by, or are for the exclusive benefit of, such Party shall be maintained by that
Party at its sole cost and expense. A Party shall have the right to complete commercially
reasonable Maintenance without the consent of the other Parry (i) so long as the
commercially reasonable cost of such Maintenance does not exceed $25,000.00 (in U.S.
Dollars as of the date of this Agreement) in the aggregate for any given Maintenance
project or $50,000.00 (in U.S. Dollars as of the date of this Agreement) in any given
calendar year, or (ii) in the event of an emergency. The dollar thresholds in the prior
sentence shall increase by Ten Percent (10%) every five years. Any Maintenance project
with a cost exceeding the cost thresholds set forth in the preceding sentence shall require
the consent of the both Parties, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned, or delayed and which shall be deemed given if the Party receiving a
Maintenance project request does not reject the request by delivery of written notice to the
requesting Party within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Maintenance project request. A
Party may invoice the other Party for any Maintenance costs it incurs pursuant to the terms
hereof, which invoices shall be paid within thirty (30) days following the delivery date of
such invoice and reasonable supporting detail about the work performed.
(c) Contract . Either Party may enter into contracts or agreements with third parties to provide
for Maintenance of the Easement Area on commercially reasonable terms and conditions.
(d) Limitation. Maintenance authorized under this Section 3 shall not change the basic
configuration or location of the Existing Roadway, expand the width of the Existing
Roadway or change the traffic flow on the Existing Roadway without the consent of both
Parties. Subject to the foregoing, either Party may install, maintain, repair and replace
entrance, exit and directional signs, guard rails or other roadway dividers and lighting along
the Existing Roadway at mutually agreeable locations as shall be reasonably required and
in accordance with the practices prevailing in the operation of similar commercial sites.

4. Redevelopment of the City Parcels and the HPA Parcel. The Parties acknowledge and agree
that any future redevelopment of either of the City Parcels by the City, its successors, transferees,
or assigns, or any future redevelopment of the HPA Parcel by HPA, its successors, transferees, or
assigns (each of the foregoing events being referred to herein as a "Redevelopment"), shall be
subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4. For purposes of this Section 4, the Party
initiating the Redevelopment is referred to as the "Developing Parh -" and the other, non -
Developing Party is referred to as the "Non -Developing Party." For purposes of clarification, and
without limitation, renovation and remodeling work performed on existing structures that does not
involve demolition of existing buildings and which does not result in material enlargement of
existing buildings, or addition of new buildings, shall not be deemed a "Redevelopment".
(a) Future Dedication of Easement Area. In connection with any Redevelopment, the City
(acting in its capacity as the governmental authority having jurisdiction over the City
Parcels and the HPA Parcel, regardless of whether this City is also, at the time of such
redevelopment, an owner of all or a portion of the City Parcels; all references in this
Section) to "the City" shall mean the City acting in such capacity) shall require that
portion of the Easement Area on the Developing Parry's parcel to be dedicated to the City
as a public right -of --way (as required by Chapter 19.135 of the Federal Way Revised Code).
The Developing Party shall dedicate to the City public road frontage on that portion of the
Easement Area on the Developing Party's parcel (which frontage will not exceed the
dedication requirements in the City's adopted comprehensive plan) for sidewalks and road
improvements in connection with any Redevelopment (collectively, the "Future
Dedication"). Simultaneously with the Developing Parry's deed of its portion of the
Easement Area to the City evidencing the Future Dedication; and the City's assumption of
the maintenance and repair responsibility for that portion of the Easement Area within the
Developing Party's parcel, the Existing Roadway, and any other improvements located
within that portion of the Easement Area on the Developing Party's parcel, the Access
Easement shall be extinguished with respect to the Developing Party's parcel and the
Parties shall execute any and all recordable instruments necessary to evidence the same.
To effect the Future Dedication, Grantor and Grantee agree to take any and all steps
necessary and to execute any and all documents required to dedicate the Easement Area to
the City. The Developing Party shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses
associated with the Future Dedication, including all initial construction and redevelopment
costs and landscape work along the Easement Area frontage on the Developing Parry's
parcel (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, costs and expenses incurred for initial
construction and redevelopment costs and landscaping work along the Easement Area
frontage on the Non -Developing Party's parcel). In connection with a Future Dedication,
the Non -Developing Party shall not be responsible for the cost of any improvements to the
portion of the Easement Area and/or the Existing Roadway located on the Developing
Parry's parcel.
(b) Pedestrian Access— South 316th Street. The City currently maintains a pedestrian staircase
within the right-of-way to the south of the Vacant Parcel (the "Staircase "). The Staircase
provides direct access to and from the City Parcels and South 316th Street, and, due solely
to the fact that the Vacant Parcel is currently void of any structures (and not, for the
avoidance of doubt, the existence of any easement in favor of the HPA Parcel), the
customers and invitees of HPA and the tenants of the HPA Parcel are able to access the
Staircase by travelling from the southern boundary of the HPA Parcel directly across the
Vacant Parcel. In connection with any Redevelopment of the Vacant Parcel, the City (or,
104353722.DOCX;1 } RECIPROCAL EASEMENT AGREEMENT-4
606125-0052/4844-4526-8706.7
Instrument Number: 20210819001258 Document:EAS Rec: S215.50 Page-5 of 13
Record Date:8/19/2021 3:22 PM King County, WA
if the City no longer owns the Vacant Parcel, the then -current owner of the Vacant Parcel)
shall ensure ADA-compliant pedestrian access to and from the Staircase is preserved and
not completely and permanently restricted by such Redevelopment. The City (or, if the
City no longer owns the Vacant Parcel, the then -current owner of the Vacant Parcel) shall
be solely responsible for the design and construction of any sidewalk, pedestrian corridor,
or other improvements the City (or, if the City no longer owns the Vacant Parcel, the then -
current owner of the Vacant Parcel) deems reasonably appropriate to maintain pedestrian
access to and from the Staircase across the Vacant Parcel, and HPA (or, if HPA no longer
owns the HPA Parcel, the then -current owner of the HPA Parcel) shall have no right of
review or approval with respect to such improvements.
(c) Utilities. Upon request by the Developing Party in connection with any Redevelopment,
the Non -Developing Party shall grant to the Developing Party such commercially
reasonable non-exclusive, perpetual easements in, to, over, under, along, and across those
portions of the City Parcels or the HPA Parcel, as the case may be, necessary for the
installation, operation, flow, passage, use, maintenance, connection, repair, relocation and
removal of lines or systems for utilities serving the Redevelopment (the "Utility
Easement"). Utility Easements shall not, without the written consent of the granting party,
in the granting party's sole discretion, run through, over or under buildings on the grantor's
property, or provide for storage and staging on the burdened property. Utility Easements
shall require that any damage caused to the granting property as a result of use of the Utility
Easement by the grantee Party, shall be restored at the cost of the grantee Party. The
Developing Party shall be responsible for all costs associated with the Utility Easement
(including, without limitation, the cost to prepare a formal easement agreement to evidence
the Utility Easement, all surveys and professional fees incurred in connection with
preparing the legal description(s) and depiction(s) for the Utility Easement, all recording
fees and excise taxes due in connection with the recording of the formal easement
agreement evidencing the Utility Easement, and completing the construction contemplated
by the Utility Easement); provided, however, that each Party shall be responsible for their
own attomeys' fees in connection with the review and negotiation of the Utility Easement.
The draft easement agreement evidencing the Utility Easement shall be prepared by the
Developing Party and provided to the Non -Developing Party for review no later than the
date which is sixty (60) days prior to the anticipated effective date of the Utility Easement.
5. Storm Water Easement. The City also hereby grants and conveys to HPA, its successors,
transferees, and assigns, a perpetual; non-exclusive easement over and under the City's portion of
the Easement Area, for operation, maintenance, repair and replacement of the existing storm water
runoff conduits and facilities serving the HPA Parcel (the "Storm Water Easement"). Any
maintenance, repair or replacement of said conduits and facilities within the Storm Water Easement
area shall be performed by HPA in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with applicable
laws, and in a manner designed to minimize interference with use of the Access Easement. Any
damage caused to the portion of the Easement Area encumbered by the Storm Water Easement as
a result of maintenance, repair or replacement of the storm water system within the Storm Water
Easement by HPA, shall be restored at the cost of HPA.
6. Covenants Running with the Land. The Access Easement is expressly for the benefit of the City
Parcels and the HPA Parcel. The Storm Water Easement is expressly for the benefit of the HPA
Parcel and is binding upon the City Parcels. The Access Easement and the Storm Water Easement,
and the obligations of the Parties hereunder are not personal but rather constitute covenants running

with the land and shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Parties hereunder and their
successors and assigns.
7. Indemnity. Each party shall indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any
and all liability, loss, damage, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable
attorneys' fees) for injury to person or death or property damage arising out of or resulting from
the use of the Easement Area by such party, its agents, employees and contractors.
8. Dispute Resolution; Prevailing Party. Prior to bringing an action or proceeding with regard to
this Agreement or the subject matter hereof the Parties shall meet and participate, in good faith, in
non -binding mediation in an attempt to resolve any differences or disagreements between the
Parties. Such non -binding mediation shall occur at a King County JAMS Resolution Center (or
similar substitute if a King County JAMS Resolution Center is not available) within thirty (30)
days after either party hereto sends notice to the other requesting mediation, and the Parties shall
evenly split the fee charged by the mediator. Should mediation fail to resolve a disagreement
between the Parties regarding this Agreement or the subject matter thereof, then either party may
bring an action or proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement, in which case, the
substantially prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party all costs and expenses
of the action or proceeding including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, witness fees
and any other professional fees resulting therefrom.
9. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable under applicable law,
that provision shall be deleted and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect to
the greatest extent allowed by law. In the event that a provision is so deleted, either party hereto
may request that a court of competent jurisdiction replace the deleted provision with a substantially
similar replacement provision that is enforceable, and upon such replacement by a court of
competent jurisdiction, if applicable, the new provision shall be deemed incorporated herein and
enforceable per its terms.
10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
11. Recordation of Easement. This Agreement shall be recorded in the real property records of King
County, Washington and shall serve as notice to all parties succeeding to the interests of the Parties
hereto that their use of such property shall be benefitted or restricted in the manner herein described.
12. Notices. Notices sent pursuant to this Agreement shall be delivered to the Parties via recognized
overnight courier or certified mail to the addresses set forth herein below. Either party may amend
its notice address with fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the other party delivered in
accordance with terms hereof. Upon sale or other transfer of one of the parcels subject to this
Agreement the transferring party shall provide the other party with a new notice address for the
transferee.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 10, 2021
TO: City Council Members
VIA: Jim Ferrell, Mayor
FROM: Ryan Call, City Attorney
SUBJECT: Hillside Plaza Associates, LLC Settlement Agreement
Financial Impacts;
The City will pay a lump sum payment of $600,000, currently budgeted for in the 2021-22
Budget, and enter into a new reciprocal easement that provides for maintenance of South
314t" Street and provides for pedestrian and utility access across the Town Center III parcel.
Background 1nforniation:
In December 1996, the owner of the Town Center III (former Target) parcel and the owner of
the property to the north of the Town Center III parcel (Hillside Plaza) entered into an
Operations and Easement Agreement (OEA) to control the rights and responsibilities of the
parties to develop and operate a cohesive shopping center. The OEA includes extensive
restrictions on uses, construction, parking, and building locations (among other things). The
OEA conditions are incompatible with most of the uses envisioned by the City for the
property. After several years of stalled negotiations to clear the easement by agreement, the
City filed a condemnation suit in order to condemn the easement in order to allow a public
use on the property. As part of the litigation process, the parties have continued to negotiate a
full release of the OEA and have reached the proposed agreement, subject to council
approval.
Under the proposed settlement agreement, a new reciprocal easement will be executed
covering only the issues of road maintenance, utility access, and pedestrian access should the
property be redeveloped. All other conditions and restrictions of the previous easement will
be extinguished. In exchange for Hillside Plaza agreeing to extinguish the operating
easement, the City will pay Hillside Plaza $600,000, which is consistent with the appraised
value of the easement.
