body
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.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. The council, on the effective date of this ordinance, hereby vacates and abandons a portion 166th Avenue SE also known as Kendall Avenue right-of-way as described below:
That 30-foot wide portion of a public right-of-way situate in the Northwest Quarter of Section 12, Township 23 North, Range 5 East, W.M., described as that portion of Kendall Avenue (166th Ave SE) lying easterly of the centerline thereof and adjoining Lot 4, May Valley Division No. 1 according to the Plat filed in Volume 21 of Plats, at Page 6, Records of King County Recorder.
Situate in the County of King and State of Washington.
Containing an area of 13,089 square feet, more or less.
SECTION 2. Vacation is contingent on petitioners paying $2,902 to King County, within ninety days of the date the council takes final action. If King County does not receive the $2,902 by that date, there is no vacation and the right-of-way remains King County's.
