Date: March 29, 2006 (for April 12, 2006 City Council Meeting)
Subj: Resolution 463 Establishing a Public Hearing Date for Stevens Street Right-of-Way Vacation Request.
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution Number 463 to schedule a public hearing on May 10, 2006, to receive comments on the proposed right-of-way vacation of Stevens Street.
Background
The City has received a petition signed by two-thirds of the abutting property owners to vacate the Stevens Street right-of-way between Longmire Street and Cullens Road. Chapter 35.79
RCW requires the City Council to set a public hearing date by resolution in order to consider the petition.
Current Situation
The Right-of-way is located between Longmire Street and Cullens Road. At this location, the Stevens Street unopened right-of-way is only one block, and is bound on the southeast end
by a residential structure, and could not be opened.
The Stevens Street right-of-way located to thee east of this site was vacated as part of a residential subdivision completed in 2001. The property to the west of this site was not future
right-of-way, and is improved with commercial structures.
The property to the south has an application pending for a residential subdivision. As part of the subdivision, the developer will construct a new street connecting Longmire Street
to Cullens Road.
