FIRST INTERROGATORIES AND REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION TO DEFENDANT CITY OF YELM AND ANSWERS THERETO- 5 CUSHMAN 924 CAPITOL WAY SOUTH LAW OFFICES, P.S. OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON 98501 ATTORNEYS AT Lew (360) 534-9183 FAX: (360) 956 -9795 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 INTERROGATORIES INTERROGATORY NO. 1: Please identify by name, address, telephone number, employer and job title of each person who was consulted or who assisted in the answering of these discovery requests, or who furnished information which was used in answering them. ANSWER: These interrogatories are the same or very similar to those propounded on Grant Beck. The City incorporates its answer to Interrogatory No. 2, submitted by Mr. Beck in his answers to the Plaintiffs' First Set of Interrogatories as if fully set forth herein. INTERROGATORY NO. 2: Prior to responding to these discovery requests, have you, or the persons identified in answer to Interrogatory 1 above, thoroughly researched and identified every document and made inquiry of every employee or agent having knowledge of the information and subject matter sought by these discovery requests? ANSWER: Objection. These interrogatories are extremely broad and this Interrogatory makes an overly burdensome request. For example, in Interrogatory No. 6, the plaintiffs ask the City to: Identify and list every engineering report, drawing, audit, survey, sketch, investigative or narrative memorandum, or other discoverable document by any person relating or pertaining to this litigation in any way, including but not limited to the engineering documents and review done in late -2009 specifically pertaining to Lot 15 of Palisades West, and specify the following for any such document: The City has answered that over 1,000 documents respond to this Interrogatory No. 6. Therefore, it is impossible for the City to have "thoroughly researched and identified" over 1,000 documents since this lawsuit was filed. In addition, the City has not yet conducted discovery in this case. FIRST INTERROGATORIES AND CUSHMAN 924 CAPITOL WAY SOUTH REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION TO LAW OFFICES, P.S.

INTERROGATORY NO. 6: Identify and list every engineering report, drawing, audit, survey, sketch, investigative or narrative memorandum, or other discoverable document by any person relating or pertaining to this litigation in any way, including but not limited to the engineering documents and review done in late -2009 specifically pertaining to Lot 15 of Palisades West, and specify the following for any such document: a What it shows; FIRST INTERROGATORIES AND CUSHMAN 924 CAPITOL WAY SOUTH REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION TO LAW OFFICES, P.S. OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON 98501 DEFENDANT CITY OF YELM ATTORNEYS AT Lew (360) 534-9183 FAX: (360) 956 -9795 AND ANSWERS THERETO- 10 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 b The name, address and telephone number of the person who drafted or originated it; c The date it was drafted or originated; d The form it takes (e.g. sketch, report, etc.) e The purpose for which it was drafted or originated; and f The name, address and telephone number of the person having custody of such documents. ANSWER: Objection under CR 26(b)(1), as unreasonably cumulative and unduly burdensome. The files in the custody of the City of Yelm for the preliminary plat of Forrester Heights, final plat of Palisades West and the Smith plat amendment include all of the information that the City of Yelm has that "relates or pertains to this litigation." The files include over 1,000 pages of documents, and most, if not all, of the "engineering reports, drawings, sketches or surveys" were prepared by persons other than the City of Yelm. Some documents, such as staff reports, were prepared by the City staff person identified on the face of the report. "What the documents show" and the "form the document takes" will be evident from simply reviewing the many documents. For the documents that were not commissioned or introduced into the file by the City, the City has little or no independent information regarding the name, address, telephone number of the person who drafted it, the date it was drafted, the purpose for which it was drafted. In addition, the City of Yelm has not yet begun its discovery and it may discover additional documents relating to this litigation. Notwithstanding this objection, the City agrees to allow the plaintiffs access to these documents at the time of their choice during regular work hours, at Yelm City Hall.

Any failures of Plaintiffs in fulfilling the duties identified herein; and h. Any and all evidence that City of Yelm fulfilled and satisfied the rights of Plaintiffs as identified herein. ANSWER: Objection under CR 26(b)(1): The City of Yelm has no "relationship" with the plaintiffs, other than their attendance at City Council meetings, their submission of a plat amendment application to the City, and their current "relationship" as the plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the City and Grant Beck. The plaintiffs themselves are aware of the "nature" of this relationship, when it "began," when it is likely to "terminate," the expectations the plaintiffs have themselves, etc. INTERROGATORY NO. 8: Please identify the City of Yelm's relationship with Grant Beck.

The expectations you believe Grant Beck had of the City of Yelm by virtue of the relationship; g. Any failures of the City Yelm in fulfilling the duties to Grant Beck. h. Any and all evidence that City of Yelm fulfilled and satisfied the rights of Grant Beck as identified herein. ANSWER: Grant Beck was hired by the City of Yelm on June 3, 2002. He is still the Community Development Director. The "relationship" has not ended or terminated. He is an employee of the City of Yelm. The City of Yelm has the expectations that he will fulfill his responsibilities according to law as an employee of the City of Yelm and the Yelm Community Development Director. Grant Beck expects the City to fulfill its duties as an employer as described in the City's Personnel Manual and according to applicable law. The City knows of no failures of the City of Yelm in fulfilling its duties to Grant Beck.

ANSWER: Objection: This interrogatory has already been answered by Grant Beck in Mr. Beck's answers to Interrogatory No. 25 of the Plaintiffs' First Interrogatories and Requests for Production to Grant Beck. The City incorporates his answers herein as if fully set forth. INTERROGATORY NO. 10: Identify all documents (see Definition Section IV.D. above) transmitted between the City and any other party to this lawsuit regarding the Project. ANSWER: Many of the documents relating to the subdivision itself were given to Chamberlain and Lee as the developers, along with FH1, LLC. Lee and Triance Group were provided all the building permit records. The City is unsure whether State Farm, Maureen Niland or VanDorm were provided copies of documents. The Smiths were provided copies of the building permit when they submitted a records request, and all the staff reports and attachments for the plat alteration. Additional documents relevant to this litigation, including but not limited to resolutions and ordinances, may have been provided to unknown persons. The City is not required to keep any documentation of the persons making all public records requests, and this interrogatory isn't even limited as to time.

The City would have to obtain permission from AWC -RMSA to settle this lawsuit. INTERROGATORY NO. 14: Referring to Plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint, if you deny (other than denial based on lack of knowledge), in whole or in part, any of the statements and allegations in the Complaint, please state the facts on which you deny the allegation, identify any person with knowledge of the facts concerning the allegation, and identify any documents concerning the facts of the allegation. ANSWER: The City objects to this Interrogatory for the same reasons stated in the City's answers to the Amended Complaint and because it calls for legal conclusions. In the City's answer, the City has denied any mischaracterization of any document referenced by the plaintiffs. Because the documents speak for themselves, nothing further needs to be added with regard to any documentation. In the City's answer, the City has already described its objection to most "factual allegations." For example, see the City's answer to paragraph 3.5 of the Amended Complaint. In the City's answer, the City has denied all of the many averments made by the plaintiffs under the heading "Causes of Action" and "Claims for Damages." In these sections of the Amended Complaint, plaintiffs do not state any facts, but simply describe their story and erroneous legal conclusions which support the false "factual allegations" in the Complaint.

As another example, plaintiffs allege, without any facts whatsoever, that Grant Beck had some kind of a "personal vendetta" towards Steve Chamberlain. Plaintiffs assert that Grant Beck "used City legal services for his personal bias and benefit." There is no way to respond to false statements, other than to deny them. If the plaintiffs have made up the story that Grant Beck has a "personal vendetta" towards someone, then there are no persons the City can identify with knowledge of such nonexistent "personal vendetta." If the plaintiffs claim, without any supporting evidence, that Mr. Beck has misused legal services, when this is simply not true, a denial is the only possible response. In a similar vein, the plaintiffs make many more legal conclusions in paragraph 4.7 of the Amended Complaint. Because the allegations in the Causes of Action and Claims for Damages section are not factual statements, but are mischaracterizations of the "factual allegations," the City assumes that no further answer is required.

Each and every witness who can support the facts upon which you base your affirmative defense(s) ANSWER: The plaintiffs knew (or should have known) at the time they entered into a purchase and sale agreement with the developers, that the plat conditions had not been satisfied.

The City was not a party to the agreement between the plaintiffs and the developers, and had no idea when the plaintiffs planned to occupy the structure, whether such occupation would take place prior to or after the structure was used as a model home. If the plaintiffs believed that there was some "error" in the building permit made by the City, they should have appealed the building permit within 21 days after issuance under the Land Use Petition Act, chapter 36.70C RCW. They failed to do so. As a result, they cannot complain now that that City or Grant Beck made any error. The Amended Complaint requested a mandamus to force the City to issue its decision on the plat amendment. At the time the Complaint and Amended Complaint was filed, the City had not issued its decision on the plat amendment. The City has now issued its decision and the mandamus action is moot. The Hearing Examiner and City Council's decision described the plat conditions and the persons responsible for installing such conditions. The developer and property owners are required to comply with the conditions of plat approval and applicable law. The witnesses are the plaintiffs and defendants herein. The City has not yet completed discovery and cannot provide additional information at this time. INTERROGATORY NO. 16: Please identify what your understanding was /is about the conditions placed on the plat of Palisades West by the City Council of Yelm concerning the water booster pump and the sewer pressure release value, also known as a sewer roll seal (see p. 3 of Plaintiffs' First Amended Complaint).

ANSWER: The conditions were placed on the preliminary plat of Forrester Heights by the Yelm Hearing Examiner. The "need and purpose" of the plat conditions were discussed during the hearing and incorporated into the final decision. The Hearing Examiner's decision was not appealed and is now final. The City Council's decision also included conditions on the final plat of Palisades West. The City Council's decision was not appealed and is now final. The physical infrastructure and system components of the water booster pump entail a system of pumps designed to increase the water pressure within the development to meet normal household pressure needs along with additional pumps to provide required fire flows, all located within an enclosed structure as well as an generator for use during power outages. The physical infrastructure and system components of the pressure sustaining valve is a valve designed to maintain pressure within the sewer mains within the development along with a heated enclosure. The developers and /or property owners are responsible for compliance with the preliminary plat conditions. The developers and /or property owners were required to perform the conditions according to the plat approvals, according to their warranty agreement and the building permit (the plan clearly stated that the occupancy certificate would not be approved until the conditions were satisfied). The City has the authority to enforce the plat conditions against the developer and /or property owners. The City has recently issued a Notice of Correction, which is the first step in the enforcement process.

It is the developer /property owner /plaintiffs' choice not to comply with the conditions that has "affected Plaintiffs' occupancy of their house at 10756 Palisades St. S.E., Yelm, WA." Although plaintiffs have asked the City to identify "the consequences to each Defendant herein if those plat conditions were not fulfilled," the City has not initiated this lawsuit, and has no idea what the consequences to each of the defendants will be as a result of this lawsuit. If the plat conditions are not fulfilled, the City has the authority to proceed with an enforcement action against the developers /property owners /plaintiffs to require compliance. The consequences have been detailed in the Notice of Correction, previously sent to the plaintiffs, in Yelm Municipal Code and the State Subdivision Act.

Notwithstanding this objection, the conditions were placed on the preliminary plat, final plat and the building plans for the building permit.

If the City did not change or authorize this plat condition change, please explain how and why the Smiths Building Permit No. BLD -08- 0326 -YL was issued on September 17, 2008. b. If the City did change or authorize this plat condition change, please explain the procedures the City took to implement such an amendment to Palisades West Final Plat Condition No. 1 ANSWER: The City of Yelm issued the building permit on September 17, 2008 to the developer Dan Lee of Triance Homes, LLC, who had also represented FH1, LLC during the development review process. The plaintiffs apparently knew that this building permit application had been submitted, and that their names were on the application as the owners of the structure to be constructed. Because the plaintiffs purchased the property, they had constructive, if not actual notice, of the plat conditions. Therefore, the plaintiffs were aware of the plat improvements that had to be constructed under the plat conditions. They had constructive, if not actual notice that these plat improvements had not been constructed at the time the building permit application was submitted. Even though the plaintiffs now believe that the City should not have issued the building permit, the plaintiffs failed to timely appeal the building permit based on their current lawsuit alleging that the City had no authority to "change" the conditions. Therefore, the plaintiffs cannot now challenge the decision to issue the building permit, or any "change" to any conditions. The City's actions which allowed the building permit to issue were consistent with the plat conditions. The developer and home builder were both were aware that even though a building permit issued, it could not be occupied. The City had no knowledge at that time of any purchase and sale agreement between the developer and plaintiffs, and that the plaintiffs planned to occupy the home immediately after construction (instead of after the developer's use of the structure as a model home).
