Joe Baxter, Mayor City of Renton Dear Sir: I am writing to inquire about a petition for vacating a street; (So. 129th between 87 Ave. So. and 88 Ave. So. ), which I believe was read in Council meeting on or about Feb. 25, 1956. We petitioners have never heard anymore regarding this matter. We understand it is in committee for Streets and Alleys. We would appreciate it very much if you could get some action on this petition. Thank you for your attention. Respectfully Yours, gal � .

Street South, between 88 Ave. South and 87th. Ave. South. We had petitioned the County to vacate; this street, prior to the annexation of this area by the City of Renton, but the County Engineers office suggested that the problem be brought up with the officials of the City Of Renton, as annexation was in the process at - that time. They agreed that the street had very poor possibilities as a future thoroughfare, but that some agreement would have to be made to allow the passage of facilities, as water and sewer thru this area, in the future. The following are the reasons why we present this petition: 1. This street (129th. South) is already vacated between 88 Ave. South and 90th. Ave. South and the possibility of making a con- tinuation of 129th. Street South between 87th. Ave. South and 84th. Ave. South are very remote, as the old County Rock Quarry abounds in this Area and a possible street would be a problem. 2. The contour of the terrain between 88 Ave. South and 87th. Ave. South,, at this street makes the possibility of a future ' street almost impossible. The street would be too steep for vehicle travel. s 3. Two of the houses, in the group of three abutting this street are located on, or very close, to the street right of way. 4. Vacating this street would allow adjoining property owners to improve the appearance of this property. , We, the adjoining property owners request your attention to this problem at your earliest convenience. ptc,„6 A , /144 .., ,.x f3 L 3 -- ,5' mg. . 4,_,„ . , r �� � ,/,� ^ a 9 GAS, Isr) ) i Q) /�`7,6 l gcg AVE. p5v/ (/.;'i, _,7 ,i- ,c. 7-z.,.) /.: %/,5iJ�r7 -,2 ifi 'gift; 14,6i/ .[C(/ 4;? -2 " .. 1 - r �: (4,-yr.✓`i'-'3-e_-...r..in ) A:•1fst 7` ;' r ;. a... / , ,.�,,•� 'rtf ,, '4:d''[.,1�".-4...�+' `.'--,�;''.1-a:r',�G.. rig :,-a..:f. .'G.e/„::,P�-AL 61/i,`t�E.- �' • City of Renton ' - _ Mayor and,Council.
