IV, DISCUSSION AND INFORMATION A. STREET VACATION NO. V-04-02, SUBMITTED BY RODARTE CONSTRUCTION, FOR VACATION OF A PORTION OF 151sT AVE E, EAST OF EAST VALLEY HIGHWAY City Engineer/Assistant Director Selle presented background information on the street vacation. He stated that in eady December, a hearing was held before City Council on the street vacation. At that time, concern was expressed by staff regarding public access in the event adjacent properties were developed, along with the need for additional time for staff to gather the necessary information with regard to intended land use from the adjacent property owners. Council directed that the street vacation be returned to the Public Works Committee. Staff continued to solicit feedback from the property owners, and after a considerable amount of time, no additional feedback was received. Selle also discussed the issue of compensation. While the City has the ability to require compensation, past policy has been to only charge for vacated right-of-way if the City had pumhased the property. In this case, the property was pumhased by Pierce County for $1,000 in 1924. The current assessed value of the property to be vacated is approximately $24,800. It was moved by Councilmember Barber, seconded by Councilmember Poe, that staff prepare an Ordinance for the March 3, 2003, Council meeting recommending approval of the street Vacation, and requiring compensation based upon the property's assessed value. Motion carried. B. UPDATE ON NPDES PHASEII Utilities Engineer Huskey updated the Committee on the City's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Permit Application. While the Department of Ecology plans to cover NPDES Phase II under a general permit, the general permit has not yet been developed; therefore, the City is submitting an individual permit at this time. A copy of the draft permit application was previously sent to the Committee members. Based on information from a recent meeting, Huskey is proposing that the draft be revised to make the milestone dates referenced in the application be one year from the approval date of the permit. Once the general permit is developed, the City will have a better idea of the dates. Page 2 Public Works Committee Minutes February 24, 2003 C.
