STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. A petition was filed requesting vacation of a portion of 166th Avenue SE, Kendall Avenue, Renton, hereinafter described.
2. The department of transportation notified utility companies serving the area and King County departments of the proposed vacation and has been advised that no easements are required within the vacation area. The vacation will not extinguish the rights of any utility company to any exiting easements for facilities or equipment within the vacation area.
3. The department of transportation records indicate that King County has not expended public funds for the acquisition or maintenance of the subject portions of 166th Avenue SE also known as Kendall Avenue right-of-way. The subject vacation area is an unopened right-of-way.
4. The department of transportation considers the subject portion of right of way useless as part of the county road system, believes the public would benefit from vacation, and recommends waiving all monetary compensation from the petitioners.
5. Due notice was given in the manner provided by law. The hearing examiner held the public hearing on April 30, 2019. As detailed in his May 15, 2019, recommendation, the examiner concluded that the road segment subject to this petition is not useful as part of the King County road system, that the public will benefit from its vacation, and that $2,902 is the appropriate amount of compensation due from the petitioners.
6. For the reasons stated in the examiner's recommendation, the council determines that it is in the best interest of the citizens of King County to grant said petition, provided that petitioners pay to King County $2,902 in compensation.

SECTION 1. The council, on the effective date of this ordin...
