The City has no need for the right-of-way. The right-of-way was dedicated for public street purposes to King County in 1907 through a plat dedication. The developer has applied for the right- of-way dedication to incorporate the right-of-way in4o the development of the adjoining property. City staff, other jurisdictions and utility purveyors have reviewed the application and determined there are no public or private utilities in the right- of-way that would require ea.sements. City staff support the vacation on the condition the vacation would become effective upon the final plat recordation, as long as the final plat provides a right-of-way easement for network connections between 46th and 51st. Staff also recommend a temporary construction easement be granted over the area to be vacated to assist the applicant in achieving final plat.
