RE: Drennan vs. Hasting & Lewis, etal
WCDC D95-2621CV
Dear lit . Migchelbrink:
I have your letter of March I.8 , 1996, purportedly
addressing the meeting of our respective clients and ourselves with
Mr. Scott and Mr. Elsner, on March 12, 1996. Of importance is the
fact that you failed to inr'icate that the meeting was ca'.led by Mr.
Scott on behalf of the Cit '
of Tigard. In Mr. Elsner' s words,
"the meeting was not called as a discovery tool for anyone, but an
effort to get the parties together to discuss the issues from the
City's perspective. "
My clients and I have not admitted anything other than
they have a legal right to use and maintain their real property as
they wish, not as your client would want. As I indicated in my
previous letter, Mr. Scotr opened the meeting with a renditirn of
his "facts" regarding the location of buildings and alleged
connections on the three properties. We discovered very quickly
that his "facts" werF: not necessarily correct. The meeting
continued after correcting the general layout of the three
Properties in respect to the private sewer line. Mr. Scott
specifically identified Mr. Drennan's property as a cotrmercial
development property consisting of two (2) separate buildings
Qncompassing four (4) units, whereas the Lewis and Hasting
----operties are single family residential properties. In addition,
7 r. Scott alluded to various permits (we never saw the permits)
dating apparently from 1957 to 1989. Some of those permits, in
fact , were attributed to the residential properties of Mr. and Mrs.
Hasting and Mr. and Mrs. Lewi;. Mr. Drennan' s property is not a
residential single family property.
I do not agree with your assertions of what Mr. Scott
explained or intended in his comments, and I further disagree with
your self-serving comments about what you, Mr. . Elsner, Mr. . Scott
and Mr. Drennan were prepared to discuss. Apparently it was your
intens. to attempt to intimidate or coerce my clients into an
Mr. Paul D. Migchelbrink
March 18, 1996
Page ?.
untenable circumstance. Mr. Drennan has not been trying to
resolve anything other than "have his own way and do what he will
on other people's property. " You should know by now that Mr.
Drennan has no superior right to the use of my client' s properties
for his commercial purposes, regardless of how you word it. In
fact, I have already advised you that any right Mr. Drennan may
have had, at any timne., has been extingushed by the prescriptive
use of my clients and by the law of adverse possession. In that
regard, the City is now aware that a Court "may" terminate Mr.
Drennan's use of the Hasting/Lewis property for any reason, or
"may" allow a l l three (11) of the property owners to use the private
sewer line ana maintain it for as long as it is connected to a
public sewer. Mr. Drennan's tactics wr- .i't work. He may try to
work it out with my client's, if he wants, but his time is running
out. In my opinion, he is going to have to connect his commercial
properties to the public sewer on Greenburg Road, and not to Lewis
Lane through other people's properties. We do not agree with your
resolution to this dilemma.
I don't think I need advise you that if My client' s
properties are damaged by any adjacent or subjacent drainage,
runoff or overflow from your client's property, he will be ;geld
accountable for such damage. Those costs could be substantial.
Apparently the City has studied the problem for some
considerable period of time. Because it rices not want to await
the outcome of whatever lawsuit may be filed in this matter, Mr.
Scott has indicated that the City intends to take the only course
it can in the present circumstances. I think you and your client
need to plan for that eventuality, either now or later. I further
think your continuous threats of litigation will "backfire" on you
very shortly.
My clients are still willing to talk with Mr. Drennan.,
but Mr. Drennan's use of my clients properties is short-lived, in
or out of Court . Please pass that on to your client.
Si cer ly,

RE: City of Tigard Dispute
with Drennan, Hasting & Leuis over use of private
sewer line connected to public sewer line.
Dear Mr. Scott:
My clients, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis and Mr. and Mrs. Hasting,
and I are concerned that our meecing with you, Mr. Elsner, Mr.
Drennan and Mr. Micghelbrink at 3 : 30 p.m. on March 12 , 1996, may
not be properly recorded . There did not appear to be any method
of recording the comments, statements or decisions of the parties,
including the City, to this dispute or the opinions of counsel for
the parties present at the meeting; except as may be deduced from
the contemporaneous notes of t.he participants. In that regard, I
rec-riled the events of the meeting as carefully and accurately as
possible, under the circumstances.
My notes reflect the following general understanding,
conclusions and decision of the City of Tigard in resolving the
dispute over the use of the private sewer line to its satisfaction,
after a brief discussion wi*h counsel for the parties to the
dispute concerning the eventual impact of Court decisions on the
dispute:
In the words cf Mr. Scott, "a _er reviewing the documents
on file and discussion with counsel, the property owners ( 'Drennan,
Hasting & Lewis) will have thirty (30) days, from the date of the
meeting [April 12 , 1996] , to confer and reach an amicable agreement
among themselves as to who will have use of the private sewer line
in question, as presently connected to the public sewer line along
Lewis Lane. If the parties have not conferred and reached an
amicable agreement that is acceptable to the City of Tigard within
thirty (30) days from the date of the meeting, the City wili
disconnect the private sewer line from the public sewer lane on
Lewis Lane and will thereafter require each property owner
connecting to said private ewer line to remove any connections
thereto. Th? -City realizes the disconnection from the public
sewer will deprive two properties [on Lewis Lane] and the four
commercial development units [not on Lewis Dane] from connecting to
the public sewer on Lewis Lane from the private sewer line. "
Mr. David Scott, P- E
March 13 , 1996
Page 2
Apparently Mr. Scott had the benefit of counsel in reaching the
decision indicated above as the decision of the City of Tigard.
my clients and I did not argue with that decision and there being
no apparent basis for further discussion, left thA meeting.
In the interest of facilitating the decision of the City
of Tigard, Mr. Drennan is welcome to personally contact my clients
in an amicable and reasonable manner, as often as he likes or they
tolerate, during the next thirty (30) days to discuss use of the
private sewer line, as is presently connected to the public ser
line along Lewis Lane. This invitation ends th �rLy (30) days
fzom
todays date and will not be renewed without good cause. We will
expect the City of Tigard to comply with its decision in this
matter, as stated herein, without further r�ourse.

RE: John Drennan/Thomas & Sharon Hastings
Private sewer dispute
Dear Mr. Scott:
On the request of my clients, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas D.
Hastings, I am providing for your review a copy of a letter
addressed to Mr. Kimball H. Ferris, Esquire, attorney for Mr. John
Drennan. Mr. and Mrs. Hastings live in a single family home
located on Lewis Lane off of 95ti, Avenue in Tigard. Mr. Drennan is
one of several owners of - multifamily commercial residential
property located on Greenburg Road which is parallel to Lewis Lane,
also in the Cit,r of Tigard. I am informed that Mr. Drennan's
property was converted from a single family residence to a
multifamily fourplex development several years ago.
Mr. Drennan has attempted to force Mr. and Mrs. Hastings
to discontinue their use of a private sewer line running through
the Hastings property through the use of a City plumbing inspector.
The City plumbing inspector contends that Mr. Drennan has a non-
public (private) exclusive easement over and through the Hastings
property for the purpose of providing a sewer connection from his
multifamily units on Greenburg Road to the public sewer on Lewis
Lane. The Hastings disagree with that contention, particularly
since Mr. Drennan has a public sewer line to his disposal on
Greenburg A"%cad for ccnnecticr, with nis mui•.:ifamily units on
Greenbltrg Road, and as set forth in the letter to Mr. Ferris.
My clients request that you or the appropriate City
official responsible for the City plumbing inspectors require that
the City discontinue any further interference with their property
rights in th.I.s matter. My clients do not wish to be bothered with
and will not tcl' - -ate City inspectors attempting to come onto their
property to eni-,- a some nonpublic and �iebulous purported private
propt=.ty right. J 7

RE: Tom & Sharon Hastings/John Drennan
Dear r'.r. Ferris:
This letter confirms my telephone call to your secretary,
Faye., on June 6, 1995 and my conversation with you by telephone on
the same date. When I first called your office, you were busy and
I left a m ei age you
with
ter onyour
s secretary.
ry.. you u returned my call
apps oximat y an hour
In the first call, I asked your secretary to inform you
of my call and that :
(1) I represented Mr. and Mrs. Hastings in the John Drennan
matter; and
(2) Mr. Drennan' s position on the exclusive use of a private
sewer line through the properties of Lewis and Hastings is not well
taken; and
(3) Mr. and Mrs. Hastings have as much right or a superior
right as and to se erJon e easementse of acrossathe 1Hasti g I sewer
property;
through a purported
and
(4) Mr. Drennan' s right to use the sewer or purported ea:ement
has probably been terminated by the use of Mr. and Mrs. Hastings .
In my later telephone conversation with you, you asked
what legal basis I had for my communications to your secretary
concerning the matters listed above. I advised you that Mr.
Drennan did not have exclusive use of the easement and that his
right to use the easement, if any, was terminated through the use
of Mr. and Mrs. Hastings over the prescribed period of time for a
prescriptive right to the easement.

Re : Nen-Permitted/Inspected Connection to
Public Sanita.T Sewer System
The City of Tigard has become aware that you have connected the
dwelling located at 9555 SW Lewis Lane to the public sanitary sever
system via an existing private sewer line located in a privEte
sanitary sewer easement on your property. Our records indicate
that no permits for this connection were obtained and n-)
inspections were performed. Also, your dwelling is one of three
connected to the public system via this - -ivate line . The isoue at
hand is not the status of that pipe enc., easement or the property
rights thereto, but violations of both the Tigard Municipal Code
(TMC) and Unified Sewerage Agency (USA) requirements .
TMC Section 14 . 04 . 030 (7) adopts the 1993 edition of the State of
Oregon One and Two Family Dwelling Code . Section 110 . 1 of this
code requires that a permit be obtained before commencing any
construction and indicates that alterations to drainage systems are
pot exempt .
Section 4A of USA Ordinance No . 21 requires that no connection be
made to the sanitary sewer system without first obtaining a permit
to do so.
Section 16 of USA Ordinance No . 23 requires that no connection to
the sanitary sewer system be made without first paying the
appropriate connection fees .
Section 8 . 01 . 4 of USA Resolution and Order No . 91-47 indicates that
each single-family dwelling must have a separate connection to the
public sewer system.
As you can see from the above, your connection to the sewer system
°_s in violation of several provisions . In fact , '.f you were to
request a permit to connect to the sewer system in the way you are
currently connected, we could riot grant such a permit because cf
Secticl 0 . 01 . 04 of USA .Resolution and Order No. 91-47 . Therefore,
you must disconnect from the private sewer line and connect to the
public sewer via an independent connection. Of course, we will
require all necessary permits and fees for this work .
Alternatively, if you can demonstrate that you are the only
T.D. Hasting
August 7, 1995
Page 2
dwelling connected to the sewer system via this private line, we
will issue a connection permit and perform inspections to ensure
compliance with the code .
Bot•.h the TMC and the USA' s ordinances provide for civil proceedings
to effect compliance . I wish to not utilize that authority in this
case . I would prefer :o allow you to bring your property into
compliance based upon this letter alone . However, if you do not
provide a plan to bring your property into compliance within 15
day, from the date of this letter, 1 will begin formal civil
proceedings .
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Please call if you
have any questions .

The first and third sentences of your let'.'�_-er to T. D.
Hasting, referen.:ed above, are not factually correct. Mr. and
Mrs. Hastings have not connected the dwelling located at 9555 SW
Lewis Lane to the public sanitary secrer system via an existing
private sewer line located in a private sanitary sewer easement on
their property. Your second sentence is nonsense for the reason
indicated herein.
Apparently your references to various requirements under
the Tigard Municipal Code and the Unified Sewerage Agency in your
letter to T. D. Heisting, as would apply to the dwelling of Mr. and
Mrs. Hastings located at 9555 SW Lewis Lane, in the City of Tigard,
are in error. In fact, it appears that you are attempting to
` n1' -'full : �cccar Mrs. '•:cstings i!?t0 2t�511:^-1

responsibility for the acts of others that affect their property or
into performingacts inconsistent with their property rights.
My clients request a meeting with the appropriate City
department offic'--als or the City Council, as necessary, to discuss
vour letter to T. D. Hasting and the implications contained :herein.
I do not believe that my clients would want to meet with you alone
because of your obvious bias and apparent lack of concern for their
property rights in this matter. Incidentally, and based on my
conversations with the Unified Sewerage Agency located in
Hillsboro, Oregon, and review of its regulations, your reference to
the Unified Sewerage Agency requirement-.s in taese circumstances do
not have any me•-it. I am very concerned about your lack of
knowledge and inability to properly investigate and proceed on the
concerns raised in my letter of June 12 , 1995 .

RE: Hasting and Lewis (Lewis Lane)
vs. Drennan (Greenburg Road)
Dear Mr. Scott:
As you may recall from our telephone conversation of
August 21, 1995, we discussed the City of Tigard's concerns with
Mr. and Mrs. Hasting's purported use of a private sewer line and
Mr. Drennan' s claim to an exclusive use of the private sewer line
running through the Hasting/Lewis properties. I understood from
that conversation that you would advise the City engineers that Mr.
Drennan does not have an "exclusive" use easement over or through
the Hasting/Lewis properties. I also understood that you expected
some Court of appropriate jurisdiction to eventually decide whether
any of the parties to this dispute (Hasting, Lewis or Drennan) had
an exclusilre or non-exclusive use to the purported sewer easement
and that decision would decide what happens with use of the sewer
by Mr. Drennan.
I informed my clients (Mr. and Mrs. Hasting) of your
comments and concerns on that date. Although I have heard nothing
from you subsequent to that conversation, my clients, now including
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis, have been served with summons and complaint
from and througr. Mr . Drennan' s attorneys, specifically Paul D.
tilgchelb►lnk. we be i e,.e th,p 3i 1 egatlons of Mr. Drennan are
without merit and will respond accordingly. I am concerned,
however, that the City ' s recent correspondence in this matter is
also copied to Paul D. Miqchelbrink. How is the City of Tigard
associated with Mr. Miqchelbrink or of ise involved with Mr.
Drennan in this matter?
