body

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

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. Vacation does not extinguish the rights of any utility company to any existing easements for facilities or equipment within the vacation area.

4. Due notice was given in the manner provided by law. The office of the hearing examiner held the public hearing on August 23, 2019.

5. The examiner concluded that the road segment subject to this petition is not useful as part of the King County road system. The examiner recommends that council vacate the right-of-way.

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.

7. In consideration of the benefits to be derived from the subject vacation, the council has determined that it is in the best interest of the citizens of King County to grant said petition and to waive compensation.
