Minutes of the Renton City Council Meeting 8-17-64 HEARING: Vacation of S.E. 128th Street between 91st Avenue South and Rainier Avenue Petitioned by Frank S. Henderson and Robert a: lavay his being the date set, the Hearing was declared open. The Clerk read a letter from J. David Jensen, Planning Director, submitting Planning Commission recommendation from its July 22nd meeting, that the vacation be denied.- A Petition was then read, signed by ten residents of the area, protesting the vacation and urging the City to consider instead the opening of the right-of-way for additional access to Rainier Avenue. A letter from Robert J. Rivily requested favorable decision for the vacation contending that the south 30 ft. of said street had reverted to the adjacent &Ora tinder the laws of 1889-90, Ch: 19, Section 32, and Lissman vs. City of Renton Court decision of 4L.18-63 rendered that a portion of 131st street no longer exists as a streets This lid Within the same N.H. Latimerp Lake Washington Plat as the subject street. It WaSinted oUt that the nbith 30 feet thus would not meet the City's minimum standard street width nor would it be a desirable Connection to Rainier Avenue from a traffic engineering standpolfiti Upon inquiry by the Mayor, the City Engineer' advised that the access could be provided as far as engineering is concerned, however it was felt that SiE. 120th street adequately serves the area and that less access to Rainier affords greater traffic cohtrol ,and less chance for accident. The hazard of the steep grade was discussed and channeliz4tion and traffic control devices which might be utilized were the street to be opened 4 up6ft inquiry regarding reasons for denial by the Planning Commission, Mr. Magstad stated' that the Commission deemed it advisable to hold presently owned properties in anticipation of future expansion and development of the area. Councilman Perry requested the City Attorney to enlarge upon the 1889-90 laws which Mr. Rivily mentioned and Mr. Mellen explained that the law stated that if you platted property and dedicated streets or roads and the County took no action within five years, the property would automatically come back to the Plattor. This law was repealed in 1909 but caused considerable trouble all over the state. There is some question as to whether the roads exist or not in the Latimer Plat as he said that the lots and blocks were platted except streets, which ordinarily would mean that the streets had not been dedicated to the County. Action could be taken on vacations only on dedicated streets and if the dedication is still good, so no one can say if a valid street exists or not, but it would take a court case to test it. Mr. Tom Nelson called attention to the time when second Avenue ended near the present unemployment office and to its present great volume of traffic since being opened. The need for additional streets was deemed necessary with expansion and Mr. Nelson also A stated his belief that if it had not been designated as a right-of-way the subject area would undoubtedly have reverted to the Nelson estate which was not the case. Opening of the street rather than vacation was recommended. Mr. Walt Reid called attention to certain streets in the subject area which had been zated and later had to be acquisitioned. Previous denial of this vacation was also brought to mind. Mr. Rivily made reference to traffic control and development of the new intersection below his property and discussion regarding grade separations and anticipated planned improvement of Airport Way ensued including the possible width in view of the reversion which City Engineer Wilson maintained to be 60 ft. until otherwise established. Moved by Schellert, seconded by Hulse, that the Hearing be closed. Carried. Moved by Morris, seconded by Gianini, to concur in the Planning Commission recommendation ,.enying the vacation. Discussion disclosed that signatures represented 100% of abutting .roperty owners on the Petition and Minutes of the Planning Commission meeting were read .y Planner Magstad wherein the Planning Director had recommended the vacation, the City ngineer having expressed opinion that the street would most likely not be used, Vote on he question resulted in dissenting voice vote and roll call, properly requested, resulted -s follows: Aye: Poli, Bruce, Schellert, Gianini, Pedersen, Delaursnti and Morris. No: ulse, Dahlquist, Garrett, Trimm, and Perry. The motion carried and the vacation was denied. C'MMUNICATIONS: A Claim filed by Karol Worley on behalf of her daughter, Jill Stewart, was read for damages in the sum of $250.00 as a result of a fall in the City Pool dressing room at which time a front tooth was broken. Attorneys Dobson, Houser & Dobson represent the injured party. Moved by Bruce, seconded by Hulse, to refer the matter to the City Attorney. , "-on inquiry regarding possible preventative measures by the City, Park Director Coulon aivised that the floor was steel trowelled providing a non-skid surface and it is presumed the accident occurred as a result of two children playing in the dressing room and slipping.

The City Engineer stated that he did not think this street would be needed in the future. Mr. Jensen stated he recommended that the street be vacated because he did not feel, that it should be developed, but rather that the street to the south,which would form a three-way intersection instead of a four-way intersection, would he more desir- able. Mr. Peretti stated that ha did not agree that the street should be vacated, but should be held until the area is fully developed. It was moved by Perettti, seconded by Denzer, that the Commission recommend denial .

Director' s report : Recommend approval of the vacation with the exception of any areas which may be in conflict with State Highway Department right of way acquisition program or plans in the area. After discussion on the matter, it was moved by Garrison, secon- ded by Racanello, that this vacation be denied until the requirements of State Highway for right of way have been determined. Motion carried. 9. Mr. Jensen stated that the Council has asked the Planning Commission for a determination on the future use of Sites 4 and 4A, and a recom- mendation to amend the Comprehensive Plan therewith. In the discussion on the subject , Mr. Peretti stated that he did not believe that the Comprehensive Land Use Plan should be chenged to designate its use for a civic center until the City acquires the property. He felt that this would not be fair to the property owners in that area to restrict the use of their property. Mr. Jensen explained that the property owners could still use this property for any business purpose allowed under the Ordinance . Mr. Busch felt that it would be advisable to inform the Council that the Commission is favorable to the use of the subject property as being suitable for civic center purposes , but not to change the land use map. In reply to the question of hearings , Mr. Jensen stated that if the Planning Commission holds a hearing on the proposed changet then the Council will also hold a hearing, but the Council may on the recommendation of the Commission hold the hearing on the proposed Change, In so far as zoning is concerned an official Comprehensive Zoning Map has not as been adopted. On the question relative to the disposition of the former proposed site south of Walla Walla, Mr. Jensen stated that this would have to be studied and a recommendation made regarding the proper use of this area.

The motion carried and Mayor Custer declared the hearing closed.

Moved by Perry, seconded by Bruce, that the alley be vacated and the matter be referred to the Law and Ordinance Committee.

Today the need is even greater for an access to Rainier Avenue via I28th, from 90th Ave. So . to Rainier Avenue, and we urge the city to open this portion of I28th, to the public for travel, and thereby provide a more direct and needed outlet to Rainier Avenue, for West Hill _residents. - 41( / L q/ 67e4c - • /.2? 0 7 i //t - Sa R71,6%),1 /J/J or 141112/3 el 7r O? • • • • • • • 0 • • • • • vaeune' toL Aoep Huy LeeTgeupa° • ung .ppeLep2. bLoaTge e move gmeo.F aug neegeg on4Te,p .co geTuTeL .Ppe cT.p2. co, oberr 4.pTe box;4CTou OT, I594'P 4"o .ape brfp.i To Lox, Px,2TQ.GTa ATm I5e?p' .L,Lom -o0.PP vAe° ?o• po EaruTeL VAeune' aug . e. imee Io,gg2. ;pe ueeg Te amou Ex.ea4ex, tol, au accoee po HuTuTeL VAeune .pe bruuuTuR CoiumT4 'ce airg EuRTueeLe oXi,Tce° pecan-ea oI mx,Tppou' ung °Lai bLopeepe 0;, LeeTgeu.Fa' we men- ue ()ACM U. 21.9Ux, gRo' ppe AucapTou O. ppTe a4?YJ e. rue geua sg' alIec° vae` 2onrp aug F TuTeL \fAeune• go bxoo.Geep fipo bx,oboeeg A rcapTou off, 2on4p I$ s,I-r epLeop* pepMeeu Ae'ppo nugex,eT2ueg x,eaTgeupe of ppe ;,'aep HITT w; au at zeu oua 10 HE I1oM J v rE MIX,0W Vt1D iEIr EB8 Oi IHE HEMIOR CLLX COLTu1CH': vnS'n ac IQ' IaQ1f goupou' Ao apTuBpou `: a • 1 P c - ��. n t 0 'll< ,gh•�.11 t,.,Xl' vf,-,o • I E. ,-`••Ltii' R�: :LL�' �L=,YC;';, kND • --, ERS.;OF 'THE F.E1�.TL•,S CITY •COUNCIL: .. , :' ,s' ode;,the.`undercigried-:residents• .of the" West_ Hill...,-area.: o.f` Renton;, ` '.''do` protest'-.the 'proposed vacation `,of,:,South, I2.8th;•• . treet',: between. ` ,, .. 91st:- Ave'. :South- and Rain ier •Alvenue.-. `ti}`r• " Over,.a 'year, ago; ,the; vacation' of this street' was, denied; •-`'.

Sheilah, City Attorney j . ' l • August `1'7, 1964 Honorable Donald ' D. Custer, Mayor Members of the City Council Re: Vacation of S. 128th Street Mrs . Dahlquist and Gentlemen: The abutting property owners of S. .128th Street contend that the south thirty feet of said street reverted to the adjacent owner under the Laws of 1889-90, Chapter 19, Section 32, reading: "Any county road or part thereof, which has heretofore been or may hereafter be authorized, which remains unopened for public use for the space of five, years after the order is made or authority granted for opening same, shall be and the same is hereby vacated, and authority, for building same is barred by lapse of time. To substantiate this law, attention is called to the recent case of Lissman. vs . City of Renton decision, dated April 18, 1963, holding that portion of 131st Street no longer exists as a street. by reason of automatic vacation provision of Laws of 1889-90. Both streets are located within the same plat, known as N. H. Latimers Lake Washington Plat. The abutting property owners further take the position the north 30! would not meet the City of Renton' s minimum street standard width. It is also concluded from a traffic engineering. standpoint that this would not be a desirable connection to Rainier Avenue. We therefore request your honorable body to vacate S. 128th Street from 91st Ave. S. to 'Rainier Avenues Robert J.
