Engineering Aide Mund provided Council with the staff
presentation for the project. She ezplained fhe City is
considering a petition for the vacation of an un-opened right-of-
way. 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.
