According to staff memo provided:
The petition proposes the vacation of a 70 foot right-of-way a distance of approximately
200 feet. The Real Estate Committee has recommended a price of $15.00 per square foot, or
approximately $140,000.00 for the entire proposed vacation area. The assessed per square foot
land value of the surrounding properties within a 300 foot buffer is $7.54, with the omission of
11 of the total 28 properties due to their public ownership. On May 5, 2015, Council approved a
similar street vacation for the Olympic Medical Center at a price of $15.00 per square foot.
Conditions 3 and 5 within the ordinance have been clarified based on Council inquiries.
The Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on this matter on March 23, 2016,
and forwarded a recommendation of approval for the vacation by a vote of 7 – 0. There were no concerns raised by the Commission, or the public, at the meeting.
