Of

THIS ASSUMPTION OF RISK AND RELEASE is made this 17th day of September, 2012, by Philip
and Lynn Butterfield (hereinafter referred to as "Property Owner") in favor of the City of Newport Beach
("City"), a municipal corporation.
RECITALS:
A. Property Owner's property consists of Lot 907 of Tract 914, or Assessor's parcel: Book 423, Page 166,
Parcel 09, together with all improvements household furnishings and effects, and personal property
located therein and thereon, more commonly known as 331 Via Lido Soud, Newport Beach, California
("the Property").
B. Property Owner's Property is located within an area where geologic and/or geotechnical hazards may
occur in the future. Property Owner recognizes and understands that the records of the State of California
Seismic Hazards Zones Official Map, indicate that the Property is located within an area that is subject to
0 physical hazards of a geologic and/or geotechnical nature, specifically liquefaction. Further, the Property
Owner has not performed any geologic and/or geotechnical study to identify the specific conditions
of the Property. The City has available to Property Owner all public files in its custody relative to the
geotechnical stability of the area surrounding the Property, and Property Owner acknowledges that he/
J she/it has had the opportunity to undertake any and all further geologic and geotechnical investigation
Property Owner deems necessary precedent to constructing any improvement on the Property.
C. Property Owner desires to take certain actions in order to add to, repair, rehabilitate, or remodel the
existing home or identified structure on the Property; and acknowledges this work shall require a building
permit.
D. Property Owner recognizes that to minimize potential damage to the existing home and safe guard the
occupants of the home, modifying the foundation system would be needed to be in compliance with the
City's policy: Minimum Liquefaction Mitigation Measures — CBC 1803.5.1.1.
E. Property Owner desires to assume all risk relating to and arising from the issuance of a building permit
for said addition, repair, rehabilitation, or remodel work, including risks relating to the City's negligent
issuance of such a building permit.
F. As an accommodation to the Property Owner so as to alleviate the hardship associated with relocating
from Property Owner's home, City is willing to allow additions, repair, rehabilitation, and remodeling work

necessary or desired to maintain the home in a habitable and convenient condition, and arising from any
claim that the City acted negligently or improperly in issuing a building permit to Property Owner under the
above-described circumstances.
G. Both Property Owner and City agree that this Assumption of Risk and Release does not exculpate the City
from any future acts of negligence on the City's part, but applies solely to the issuance of a building permit
for construction of specified improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, as inducement for City to grant a building permit, Property Owner agrees as follows:
1. Assumption of Risk
Property Owner hereby assume all risk of damages to the Property, and loss or impairment of the use and
enjoyment thereof, and loss of any and all expenditures in any manner arising out of or attributable to the
City issuing the building permits for the proposed work, notwithstanding that the Property is located within
an area subject to physical hazards of a geologic and/or geotechnical nature.
2. Release
Property Owner hereby releases and discharges City, its officers, employees and agents from any and
all claims for losses, damages or liabilities of or to the Property of undersigned Property Owner (whether
for damages to the property, personal injury, expenses, attorney's fees or otherwise) arising out of or
attributable to the City issuing the building permits for the proposed addition, repair, rehabilitation, or
remodeling work, notwithstanding that the Property is located within an area subject to physical hazards of
a geologic and/or geotechnical nature. This release includes, but is not limited to, any claims arising from
the City's negligence in issuing the building or other related permits. Property Owner hereby expressly
agrees to forego the right to assert any claim or bring any action of any nature whatever against the City,
its officers, agents and employees for any damages or losses of any kind attributable to the issuance of a
building or other related permits and the work performed pursuant thereto.
3. Voluntary Aareement
Property Owner has obtained the advice of legal counsel and has been advised of the nature and legal
effect of the execution of this instrument or expressly declines to secure the advice of legal counsel and
understands the contents hereof and knowingly forgoes the opportunity to seek legal counsel. Property
Owner executes this instrument voluntarily with knowledge of its significance in consideration for issuance
of a building permit to perform certain work on Property Owner's home that would otherwise not be
issuable due to the location of the home within an area that is subject to physical hazards of a geologic
and/or geotechnical nature.
4. Binding Effect
Property Owner agrees and acknowledges that this instrument shall be recorded against the title of the
Property in the official records of the Orange County Recorder.
Property Owner agrees that this instrument shall run with the land and shall be binding on all parties
having or acquiring any right, title or interest in or to the Property or any portion thereof, and shall
constitute notice of the physical hazards of a geologic or geotechnical nature that affect the Property.
This instrument shall be terminated or modified only upon the express written consent of the City. In the
event Property Owner sells, transfers, leases or otherwise conveys any interest or right of possession in
the Property, Property Owner shall provide any such purchaser, lessee or transferee with a copy of this
instrument.
