V-03-06 PROCEEDINGS AND SETTING A PUBLIC
HEARING TO CONSIDER THE VACATION OF A PORTION
OF I STREET NE, WITHIN THE CITY OF AUBURN,
WASHINGTON
WHEREAS, the City of Auburn, Washington, has determined through an
evaluation of its needs for streets and right-of-ways located in the vicinity of I Street NE
that, provided that the Port of Seattle provides the City with an alternate right-of-way, said
stretch of City right-of-way will no longer be needed to meet the needs of the City and that
a public hearing should be set to determine if said right-of-way should be vacated; and,
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 35.79.010 of the Revised Code of Washington, a
hearing on such vacation shall be set by Resolution, with the date of such hearing being
not more than sixty (60) days nor less than twenty (20) days after the date of passage of
such Resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF AUBURN,

Street Vacation Number V-03-06
Applicant: City of Auburn I Port of Seattle
Property Location: I Street NE as shown on the attached map
Proposal:
The City of Auburn and Port of Seattle will enter into an agreement to "trade" property. The City will vacate
a portion of the existing, undeveloped I Street NE right-of-way to the Port, and in exchange the Port will
dedicate a new right-of-way to the City. The right-of-way to be acquired by the City is consistent with the
right-of-way alignment proposed for I Street NE. Also through the agreement, the City would obtain rights-
of-way for the east-west roadway of 49tH/51St Street NE and for widening the south side of South 277tH
Street.
Advertising/Posting:
The legal advertising and posting requirements for the proposed vacation have been met.
Applicable Policies & Regulations:
• RCW's applicable to this situation -meets requirements of RCW 35.79.
• MUTCD standards -not affected by this proposal.
• City Code or Ordinances -meets requirements of ACC 12.48.
• Comprehensive Plan Policy -not affected.
• City Zoning Code -not affected.
Public Benefit:
The City will gain the more advantageous right-of-way needed for the realignment of 1 Street NE consistent
with the Comprehensive Transportation Plan. The revised right-of-way alignment of I Street NE allows the
City to create a safer intersection connection to South 277tH Street and allows the Port of Seattle to
enhance utilization of their property. Also, the vacation facilitates the land trade agreement that gains other
necessary rights-of-way for the street network.
Background:
Both the existing and proposed right-of-way alignments are composed of flat undeveloped properties. The
existing right-of-way was acquired by deed for $10.00 from P. Hendley and Associates, Inc. in 1989. The
Port of Seattle is the owner of the property that encompasses the proposed right-of-way alignment.
Discussion:
The vacation application was circulated to Puget Sound Energy, Comcast, and Qwest. Qwest reported
that it had placed six underground vaults in the city right-of-way in 1990. They are empty and not being
used.
The vacation application was circulated to City staff. City staff has commented that the vacation of the
right-of-way should be contingent upon the execution of a real estate exchange agreement between the
City and the Port of Seattle.
Assessed Value:
To facilitate the agreement and avoid additional financial contributions from either party, the agreement has
been structured so the City of Auburn and the Port of Seattle will exchange approximately equal areas of
land of 225,098 square feet.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that if the street vacation is granted it needs to be subject to the following conditions:
1. The vacation of the portion of the I Street NE right-of-way should be contingent upon the execution
of a real estate exchange agreement between the City and the Port of Seattle.
