wsdot comments11-20-2000 Yelm Ordinance #648 The legal descriptions for parcels #22718310200 and #22718310300 describe property that overlaps itself. The third parcel, #22718310800 can't be plotted because there is no documentation to describe the land referenced by the legal description. Parcel#22718310200 This legal description describes property lying south of Crystal Springs Road. According to the map provided none of the property is south of Crystal Springs Road. It is east of Crystal Springs Road, and south of Canal Rd. Ts it possible that Canal Road as shown on the map provided is Crystal Springs Road as referred to in the legal description'? Please clarify this and provide some documentation (either a map showing Crystal Springs Road north of the parcel, or a legal description that references Canal Road). The last three lines of this parcel description read... ALSO EXCEPT the south 136 feet of said land. In Thurston County, Washington. Together with that portion of Canal Road abutting above parcel. The south 136 feet of said land'? Which said land? Not clear whether you are talking about the portion you are annexing, or excluding. In Thurston County, Washington. (Should not be a sentence unto itself, and would make more sense if it were included in the first sentence of the legal description. Together with that portion of Canal Road abutting above parcel. Which parcel? - The one you described or the one you excepted out? Docs this include the East and West 20 feet mentioned in the first sentence? Do you mean to include this in your parcel or exclude it? Parcel #22718310300 When you began in the SE corner of the NE t/a of the SW'/a and go 471 feet North to Crystal Sp>7ngs Rd. [shown on the map you provided as Canal Rd.]; Thence West 683 feet; Thence South 545 feet more or less to a point on the South line 325 feet West of the Point Of Beginning; You can't go East along the South line 525 feet and reach the point of beginning in a straight line. By Calculating your description on the map you would go East of your point of beginning by 200 feet. Parcel#22718310800 The legal description for this parcel references a tract conveyed to Peter H. Gorman and Ruby Belle Gorman by deed. We need a map and legal description to go along with this. We can't plot this on a map with the information provided. Also when referencing a deed you should mention where it is recorded (which county). 1n the future, when writing legal descriptions, it may be easier to simply describe what you are annexing, rather than starting with a large portion of property and excluding bits and pieces, thus describing what you aren't annexing. Also it is helpful to find a person other than the one who wrote this legal description to plot this on a map from the written description to test for ambiguity and clarity. The written legal description is what counts in the eyes of the law, not a map that is drawn, so it is critical to write the legal description with clarity, and impossible to be misinterpreted. Otherwise is to invite legal troubles in the future. Perhaps hiring a surveyor or someone trained in writing legal descriptions to write this legal description would be in the best interest of the City of Yelm.
