Peiffle City Attorney City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: PH #2 Attachment F COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 6, 2015 SUBJECT: Public Hearing regarding the petition to vacate a portion of Right of Way and to relinquish a separate utility easement within the Plat of La Verne Heights as set forth in Resolution No. 2015-002. ATTACHMENTS: Planning Commission Findings and Recommendation, Staff Report, Exhibit Map, Ordinance for Right of Way Vacation DEPARTMENT OF ORIGIN Community & Economic Development EXPENDITURES REQUESTED: -0- BUDGET CATEGORY: n/a LEGAL REVIEW: DESCRIPTION: Public Hearing to allow testimony regarding the proposed Right of Way vacation and the relinquishment of a separate utility easement as required by RCW Chapter 35.79 and Arlington Municipal Code sections 3.70.030 and 12.18.050. Consider the Staff Report, the Planning Commission’s Findings and Recommendation and any testimony given in order to reach a decision on either approving or denying the proposed Right of Way vacation and utility easement relinquishment. HISTORY: Street Vacation Petition for a portion of Right of Way and separate utility easement was received December 26, 2014. Resolution No. 2015-002, referring the vacation to the Planning Commission for review and setting the date for a public hearing on the matter was approved by the Mayor and City Council March 2, 2015. The Planning Commission reviewed the proposed Right of Way vacation and utility easement relinquishment at the March 17, 2015 meeting and based upon their findings recommended approval of the Right of Way vacation and relinquishment of utility easement. City of Arlington Council Agenda Bill Item: PH #2 Attachment F ALTERNATIVES Approval or denial of the Right of Way vacation and easement relinquishment or remand back to staff for additional information or review. RECOMMENDED MOTION: I move to approve the Ordinance, vacating a portion of Right of Way and relinquishing a separate utility easement located in the Plat of La Verne Heights. Staff analysis of the request to relinquish a utility easement across the north 10 feet of lot 10 Plat of La Verne Heights. Background; Ellis Place was original created to serve lots 5‐10 within the Plat of La Verne Heights (May 1958). At the easterly terminus of Ellis Place two parallel utility easements, both 10 feet in width, were created to serve lots 9 & 12 (across their south 10 feet) and lots 10 & 11 (across their north 10 feet). In July 1963 Ellis Place was vacated and a new road dedication occurred (Union Street) to serve lots 4‐11. The vacation of Ellis Place removed any encumbrances within its described area across lots 5‐7, but no extinguishment of the utility easements across lots 9‐12 occurred. Current request; The owner of lot 10 is requesting that the utility easement across the north 10 feet of lot 10 be relinquished by the City in an effort to prevent any “cloud” upon the title of the property. Staff review; The subject easement contains no utilities, nor is there any intention to utilize these easements for future utility installation. All lots within the Plat of La Verne Heights are serviced with utilities from alternate points of connection. Because this easement provides no value with regard to its original intent, staff recommends that the easement be relinquished as requested. Staff analysis for the proposed vacation of a portion of Union Street Per AMC Chapter 12.18 –Street Vacations, Section 12.18.070 – Staff Report, the following information shall be provided; (1) Information on how and when the street sought to be vacated became a public street. Dedication of the south 30 feet, for public roadway purposes, over lots 4, 6,7,10 and 11‐ Plat of La Verne Heights occurred July 8, 1963 (ord. 475). (2) Whether or not utilities exist in the street and whether such street may reasonably be necessary in the future for utility purposes. The described portion of roadway, which is the subject of this petition to vacate, contains no utilities or has a potential for future utility use. (3) Whether or not and in what respect the public may be benefitted or harmed by the vacation. Public benefit may be served by placing the subject property back on the tax rolls. Staff believes no public harm would be caused by this vacation. (4) Whether or not the street has been opened or constructed, and what effect the vacation may have on property served or which might be served in the future. The subject property is unopened/unimproved and due to inaccessible topography to the east, any future roadway would essentially terminate at this location. The south 30 feet of lot 11 was vacated in 2003 to allow the construction of a single family residence, which would prohibit any further extension of Union Street beyond lot 10 (ord. 1294). (5) Information on the appraised value of the street, if such information is available. Staff received no information related to the appraised value of the subject property with this petition to vacate. (6) Any recommendation of city staff concerning the desirability of retaining an easement or any interest in the property sought to be vacated for the purpose of the construction, repair and maintenance of public utilities and services. Since no public utilities currently exist upon the subject property, with no potential for future utility use, staff recommends that no easement be retained. (7) Any other information deemed by city staff to be appropriate for consideration by the city council. Any development of Lot 10 would necessitate the improvement of the remainder of Union Street over the south 30 feet of Lots 6 and 7 to Hamlin Drive.
