JUSTIFICATION FOR VACATION OF UNUSED PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY Adjacent to Parcel No. 0847100020, Renton, Washington The Applicant respectfully requests that the City of Renton vacate the unused public right-of- way located east of Parcel No. 0847100020 pursuant to Chapter 35.79 RCW and applicable provisions of the Renton Municipal Code. The requested vacation is consistent with the public interest and will provide substantial community benefit while preserving the City's land use and housing objectives. The subject right-of-way has remained unused and unimproved for public transportation purposes since at least November 25, 1964', when the City acquired its interest through a Quit Claim Deed. Since that time, the corridor has not functioned as a public street, alley, or transportation facility and has not been maintained or improved by the City for public use.The right-of-way therefore no longer serves the purpose for which it was originally acquired and provides little or no present public benefit. Importantly, City staff have already indicated that the corridor may be utilized as access for the proposed four-unit residential development on Parcel No. 0847100020.This acknowledgment' demonstrates that the corridor's most practical function is to provide access to the adjacent property rather than to serve any independent municipal transportation purpose.The requested vacation would formalize and permanently resolve the property's access configuration while eliminating uncertainty regarding future ownership and maintenance responsibilities. The proposed development consists of four residential dwelling units, commonly characterized as "middle housing," which directly advances Washington State's housing policies encouraging increased housing opportunities within existing urban areas.The project represents an efficient use of land within the City limits and contributes to the creation of additional housing inventory without requiring expansion of the City's urban growth boundaries or extension of municipal services into undeveloped areas. Vacation of the right-of-way will facilitate construction of the proposed development and will result in the creation of additional taxable property value.The completed project will increase property tax revenues and other local revenue sources while requiring no acquisition of additional public infrastructure by the City. Existing access can be accommodated through the corridor, and no new public streets, public facilities, or municipal capital improvements are required to support the development. The requested vacation also provides a direct benefit to the City by transferring all future ownership and maintenance responsibilities to the Applicant. Upon vacation, the Applicant will assume responsibility for maintenance, repair, drainage, landscaping, access improvements, and all other obligations associated with the property. The City will no longer bear any responsibility, liability, or administrative burden associated with ownership of an unused and unimproved right-of-way. Furthermore, the vacation will place the property into productive use, improve the appearance and functionality of the site, and ensure long-term stewardship by the adjacent owner.The corridor will be incorporated into a professionally designed residential development rather than remaining an isolated and unused remnant of public property. For these reasons, the requested vacation serves the public interest, advances local and state housing objectives, increases the City's tax base, eliminates future municipal maintenance obligations, and places underutilized land into productive use. Because the right-of-way is not needed for any current or reasonably foreseeable public purpose, the Applicant respectfully requests that the City of Renton approve the vacation of the right-of-way East to Parcel No. 0847100020. k x , ..

Should you have additional questions or concerns,please feel free to contact me.

The engineer with the most knowledge of this area is currently out of the office until next week.Once he returns,I will reach out to him about what the right-of-way requirements are and let you know.Should you have additional questions,please feet free to contact or set up a virtual meeting.
