Title
AN ORDINANCE determining that substitute property for 1.15 acres of property at the park at Bothell Landing acquired with 1989 open space bond funds is consistent with the purpose of Ordinance 9071.
Body
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
1. Ordinance 9071 contains requirements for the expenditure of bond proceeds under the 1989 open space bond program approved by the voters of King County in November 1989, including the requirement that open space acquisition projects carried out in whole or in part with such proceeds shall not be converted to a different use unless other equivalent lands and facilities are received in exchange.
2. The city of Bothell is relocating State Route 522 through approximately 1.15 acres at the park at Bothell Landing purchased with 1989 open space bond funds for open space and a parking area, and it has proposed the substitution of equivalent open space and parking area property as required by Ordinance 9071. The interlocal cooperation agreement between King County and the city of Bothell for 1989 open space bond projects requires that King County determine through its normal legislative process that such substitute property is consistent with the purpose of Ordinance 9071. The impacted open space at Bothell and the substitute properties are of equivalent economic and open space value.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
SECTION 1. The council finds and declares that the substitute property for 1.15 acres of property at the Park at Bothell Landing acquired with 1989 Open Space Bond
funds identified in Attachment A to this ordinance is consistent with the purpose of Ordinance 9071.
