1. A petition was filed requesting vacation of SW 284th Street and a portion of Cliff Avenue, Vashon Island, hereinafter described.
2. The road services section notified utility companies serving the area and King County departments of the proposed vacation and was advised that no utilities require easements over the vacation area.

6. As to compensation for the vacation, the examiner concluded that the public will benefit from vacation and that the expected monetary benefits the County will receive from vacation fully offset the appraised value of the right-of-way. The examiner recommends and the council vacate the right-of-way with no monetary compensation requirement for the petitioner.
