Body

STATEMENT OF FACTS:

1.  A petition has been filed requesting vacation of a portion of 200th Ave SE in the Renton area of unincorporated King County, hereinafter described.

2.  The department of local services notified utility companies serving the area and King County departments of the proposed vacation and Puget Sound Energy and King County Water District 90 requested and secured easements over the vacation area.  The vacation shall not extinguish the rights of any utility company to any existing easements for facilities or equipment within the vacation area.

3.  The department of local services's records indicate that this segment of right of way is unopened and unmaintained.

4.  The department of local services considers the subject portion of right of way useless as part of the county road system and believes the public would benefit by the return of this segment of right of way to the public tax rolls and recommends approval of the vacation.

5.  Pursuant to K.C.C. 14.40.020 and RCW 36.87.120, the value of the vacation area is offset by the costs to King County to manage and maintain this segment of unopened right of way and the present value of future property tax resulting in a determination of no additional compensation required for the vacation of the approximately 3,303 square foot portion of 200th Ave SE to the property of Petitioners Young Kwon and Robyn Isaak-Kwon, King County Assessor's Parcel Number 404840-0280, no additional compensation required for the vacation of the approximately 3,038 square foot portion of 200th Ave SE to the property of Petitioners Young Kwon and Robyn Isaak-Kwon, King County Assessor's Parcel Number 404840-0285, and no additional compensation required for the vacation of the approximately 3,030 square foot portion of 200th Ave SE to the property of Petitioner Mutsumi Porter, King County Assessor’s Parcel Number 404840-0290.  If required, compensation must be received by King County within ninety days of approval of the ordinance vacating the right of way.

6.  Due notice was given in the manner provided by law.  The office of the hearing examiner held the public hearing on ________, ______, 2023.

7.  As detailed in the _________, ___ 2023, recommendation, the hearing examiner found that the road segment subject to this petition is not useful as part of the King County road system, concluded that the vacation of this segment of road will benefit the public through the transfer of responsibility for management and return of the property to the public tax roll, and recommended approval of the vacation petition with no requirement of payment by Petitioners.
