PUBLIC HEARING
SW Langston Rd Street Vacation II (VAC-17-001):This being the date set and proper notices
having been posted and published in accordance with local and State laws, Mayor Law
opened the public hearing to consider the street vacation request of an unopened alley, south
of SW Langston Rd. and Stevens Ave. SW intersection (Petitioner Langston 14, LLC.;VAC-17-
001).
Property&Technical Services Manager Amanda Askren reported that the petition was
received on April 21, 2017 and that 100%of the abutting property owners signed the petition.
She stated that the purpose of vacating the right-of-way is to vacate a portion of an unopened
alleyway that was dedicated in the original plat from 1910. Additionally, Ms.Askren
mentioned that this request has been provided in conjunction with a proposed land
development project,and the City has collaborated with the Petitioner on the project. She
added that the petition was circulated to various City departments and outside agencies and
reported that at this time no objections to the petition were received. However, Puget Sound
Energy(PSE) is requesting a utility easement over a portion of the unopened alley. Ms.Askren
concluded by stating that the administration recommends Council approve the request to
vacate under the condition that a utility easement is secured for PSE in the requested area.
Public comment was invited:
• Rick Ravsten, Renton, addressed concerns related to keeping the current property
line on his abutting property as-is. Ms.Askren provided clarification that because his
property was not part of the original plat, he would not be able to acquire the land
through the vacation process. However,she did note that there are other available
avenues he can take to achieve his desired outcome.
• Katherine Bellows, Renton,thought her property abutted the proposed vacation,
however after discussion it was concluded that her property would not be affected.
• Mark Shark, Petitioner,assured Council that he will work with Mr. Ravsten to ensure
all needs are met and thanked Council for their support.
Following discussion, it was
MOVED BY PRINCE,SECONDED BY PAVONE,COUNCIL CLOSE THE PUBLIC
