STAFF REPORT
WASHINGTON
Right-of-Way (ROW) Vacation Number V1-10
Applicant: Auburn School District No. 408
Property Location: Right-of-Way located at 3rd Street NE between 2nd Street NE and 4th Street NE, east
of E Street NE.
Description of right-of-way:
This ROW consists of 3rd Street NE between E Street NE on the west end and Auburn School District Parcel No.
1821059082 on the east end. The ROW is bordered on the north by Parcel No. 1821059082, 4184400055,
4184400075, on the south by Parcel No 4184400080, 4184400170, 4184400160, 4184400155, 4184400150 and
4184400145. All of these parcels, except Parcel No 4184400145 which is owned by a private party, are owned
by the applicant. This portion of ROW is 19,068.8(+/-) square feet.
The majority of the ROW was initially dedicated to the City of Auburn from Laura M and G.C. Lange through
dedication of the plat Lange's First Addition to Auburn, recorded in Volume 25 Plats, Page 36 of Records of King
County, Washington on October 6, 1921. A small portion of the ROW on the NE end was Quit-Claim deeded to
the City on March 6, 1927 for public street purposes.
See Exhibits "A" and "B" for legal description and survey.
Proposal:
The Applicant proposes that the City vacate the above described right-of-way. The Auburn School District is
proposing to use this right-of-way to facilitate redevelopment and expansion of adjoining property and facilities
owned by the School District.
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:
• This street vacation decreases the Right-of-Way maintenance obligation of the City.
• The vacated area may be subject to property taxes.
Discussion:
The vacation application was circulated to Puget Sound Energy (PSE), Comcast, Qwest, Verizon and city staff.
1. PSE - PSE has existing electric and gas facilities and will require an easement.
2. Qwest - Qwest does not have any existing facilities in the proposed vacation area.
3. Comcast - Comcast does not have any facilities in the proposed vacation area.
4. Verizon - No comments
5. Water - Currently, there is an existing water main along 3rd St NE within. the right-of-way to be vacated.
As a condition of approval, a public water utility easement within the proposed vacation area shall be
granted to the City.
W0307-5D
Page 1 of 3
March 1, 2011
6. Sewer - Currently, there is an existing sanitary sewer main along Td St NE within the right-of-way to be
vacated. As a condition of approval, a public sewer utility easement within the proposed vacation area
shall be granted to the City.
7. Storm -The existing storm-line may be relinquished with the vacated. right-of-way without the reservation
of an easement. The storm line only serves a small portion of the roadway and does not extend to serve
other properties. The School District would need to take ownership of the system and the City would
adjust their storm billing accordingly.
8. Transportation - A.public access easement for the purposes of vehicular access, pedestrian access,
emergency access, individual parcel access and private property access shall be reserved along the
entire length and width of the vacated right-of-way.
-9. Building - All buildings that house people must maintain an access, via a street, that will allow emergency
responder direct access to each building.
10. Planning -Access to the remaining buildings via,an_improved street needs to be maintained for
emergency purposes, pedestrians and the residential property not owned by the, school district that is to
remain on, street. Based on the definitions found in the zoning and subdivision code sections
considered together, in order to meet city standards the pavement and improvements on 3rd Street need
to remain in place until such time as the remaining structures are removed, redeveloped or the properties
combined such that access to each structure is no longer needed. The continuation of the 3rd Street
improvements would be assured via an easement.
11. Fire = No comments
12. Police -The only concern the Police Department has is the impact on parking in' the area and any
mitigation that the School District has planned. If the street is still open' and they (the School District) will
continue to use existing parking then-PD has not objections or concerns.
13. Streets -.No comments
14. Information Services --No comments
.15.- General Review - Any future development or building. over the vacated. ROW will require that the
developer/owner vacate necessary easements and relocate all affected utilities prior to construction.
16. Construction- No comments
Assessed Value:
ACC 12.48 states "The city council may require as a condition of the ordinance that the city be compensated for
the vacated right-of-way in an amount which does not exceed one-half the value of the right-of-way so vacated,
except in the event the subject property or portions thereof were acquired at public expense or.have been part of
a dedicated public right-of-way for 25 years or more, compensation may be required in an amount equal to the full
value of the right-of-way being vacated. The city engineer shall estimate the value of the right-of-way to be
vacated based on the assessed values of comparable properties in the vicinity. If the value of the right-of-way is
determined.by the city engineer to be greater than $2,000, the applicant will be required to provide the city with an
appraisal, by an MAI appraiser approved by the city engineer, at the expense of the applicant. The city reserves
the right to have a second appraisal performed at the city's expense." Note: The city engineer has not required
an appraisal for the value of this right-of-way since the right-of-way was originally acquired through dedication of a
Plat or through a Quit Claim Deed at no cost to the City.
RCW 35.79.030 -states the vacation shall not become effective until the owners of property abutting upon the
street or alley, or part thereof so vacated, shall compensate such'city or town in an amount which does not
exceed one-half the appraised value of the area so vacated. If the street or alley has been part of a dedicated
public right-of-way for twenty-five years or more, or if the subject property or portions thereof were acquired at
public expense, the city or town may require the owners of the property abutting the street or alley to compensate
the city or town in an amount that does not exceed the full appraised value of the area vacated."
The right-of-way was acquired through dedication of a Plat on October 6, 1921 and through a Quit-Claim Deed on
March 6, 1927, both at not cost to the City.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the street vacation be granted subject to the following conditions:
