(M. Lotto et al) This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communication from City Engineer Wilson was read reporting no objection to the vacation, this being an un- opened right-of-way and not a part of the City's Comprehensive Street Plan. Since 711 utilities are existing in the area there is no need to retain a utility easement. Letter from Planning Director Ericksen reported Commission recommendation from meeting of April 12th that the vacation be approved as requested. Audience comment was invited and Mr. Mike Lotto stated that when the Plat was accepted some years ago an error was evident in that the street was supposed to run one direction and went another and this veca-.:ion would correct the situation and the vacation should hr-e' been asked for 3 or 4 years ago and property deeded to the City for proper right of way as it has now been. Moved by Poli, seconded by Gianini, that the hearing be closed. Carried. The hearing was declared closed and further council action invited. Moved by Morris, seconded by Poli; to concur in the recommendation of the Planning Commission granting the vacation. The notion carried. PUBL:_C HEARING: Vacation of portion of alley South 2nd Street and Logan Avenue South ;laudine and George Ames Property This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communications were read from Robert and Betty Putman requesting that the alley not be vacated in the interest of util: zing same for a commercial building which development it was felt would enhance the City by modernizing and architecturally improving the area across from the High School. Letters from Hrs. L. J. Putman and Mary Ann Putman and Colin W. Radford urged that the Council deny the vacation request to allow the commercial development, the alley providing access and egress value to the Putman properties. A letter from City Engineer Wilson reported that the vacation as requested would leave the City with a dead end alley approximately 230' in length which would not be in the City's best interest, although it is doubtful that the alley can be used as platted due to its narrow width and 90% turn. As an alternative the petitioner has offered to deed a new right-of-way out to South 2nd Street along the West side of Lot 5 as a replacement for existing right-of-way so as to consolidate their ownership. This u:ould be preferable to dead ending the alley however unless a portion of Lot 4 could be obtained to develop a turning radius at the 90% bend it would be of doubtful value to the City. A letter from Gordon Y. Ericksen, Planning Director, reported Planning Commission recommendation that the vacation be granted only if a proper turn-around is provided at the Easterly end of the remaining 16 ft. alley. Moved by Poli, seconded by Gianini 4-hat act on be taken to close the hearing however discussion disclosed that this would preclude further acceptance of alternate proposals as recommended by the City Engineer and Planning Commission. Attorney Shellan suggested that the hearing be continued or held in abeyance . Garrett spoke against closing the hearing suggesting that the petitioner be advised of the need for the turning radius and not only an additional 16 ft. dedication to relocate the right-of-way which petitioner has offered between lots 4 and 5, the boundary line between the properties. Dahlquist felt the hearing should be closed and action taken on the petition before the Council which is for specific vacation and vote it down and allow a new proposal to be submitted. Vote on the pending motion followed. Motion,by majority no verbal vote, was declared lost. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, that the hearing be continued to next week's council meeting, May 1st. Dahlquist inquired whether the hearing was to be continued on the vacation of the area petitioned for or something additional that has been presented. Mayor Custer stated that the only thing before the Council is the vacat.`ln of the area as shown on the maps and that is the subject being continued. Schellert inquired whether petitioner has been apprised of the prospect of a turn around or additional alley right of way and The City Engineer replied that petitioner is aware of this which is why they had proposed to deed an equal amount of right of way on the West side of Lot 5 and later provide turn arround. Mr. Coleman, representative for the property owners, is in San Francisco and unable to be present this evening. Attorney Shellan advised that should the Council wish to relocate the alley notice of public hearing would again need to be given on the relocation or other portion to be vacated as an alternative. Garrett added that the petitioner could come in with a new proposal at the continued hearing and the Council would have to act in accordance with the law but the petitioner may or may not be interested in such revision and this is what the Council .would want to know. The pending motion carried. -2- April 21, 1967 The Honorable Donald W.

PUBLIC HEARING: Vacation of portion of alley South 2nd Street and Logan Avenue South Claudine and George Ames Property This being the date set, the hearing was declared open. Communications were read from Robert and Betty Putman requesting that the alley not be vacated in the interest of utilizing same for a commercial building which development it was felt would enhance the City by modernizing and architecturally improving the area across from the High School. Letters from Mrs. L. J. Putman and Mary Ann Putman and Colin W. Radford urged that the Council deny the vacation request to allow the commercial development, the alley providing access and egress value to the Putman properties. A letter from City Engineer Wilson reported that the vacation as requested would leave the City with a dead end alley approximately 230' in length which would not be in the City's best interest, although it is doubtful that the alley can be used as platted due to its narrow width and 90% turn. As an alternative the petitioner has offered to deed a new right-of-way out to South 2nd Street along the West side of Lot as a replacement for existing right-of-way so as to consolidate their ownership. This would be preferable to dead ending the alley however unless a portion of Lot 4 could be obtained to develop a turning radius at the 90% bend it would be of doubtful value to the City. A letter from Gordon Y. Ericksen, Planning Director, reported Planning Commission recommendation that the vacation be granted only if a proper turn-around is provided at the Easterly end of the remaining 16 ft. alley. Moved by Poli, seconded by Gianini that action be taken to close the hearing however discussion disclosed that this woulc preclude further acceptance of alternate proposals as recommended by the City Engireer and Planning Commission. Attorney Shellan suggested that the hearing be continued or held in abeyance. Garrett spoke against closing the hearing suggesting that the petitioner be advised of the need for the turning radius and not only an additional 16 ft. dedication to relocate the right-of-way which petitioner has offered between lots 4 and 5, the boundary line between the properties. Dahlquist felt the hearing should be closed and action taken on the petition before the Council which is for specific vacation and vote it down and allow a new proposal to be submitted. Vote on the pending motion followed. Motion,by majority no verbal vote, was declared lost. Moved by Garrett, seconded by Hulse, that the hearing be continued to next week's council meeting, May 1st. Dahlquist inquired whether the hearing was to be continued on the vacation of the area petitioned for or something additional that has been presented. Mayor Custer stated that the only thing before the Council is the vacat.'hn of the area as shown on the maps and that is the subject being continued. Schellert inquired whether petitioner has been apprised of the prospect of a turn around or additional alley right of way and The City Engineer replied that petitioner is aware of this which is why they had proposed to deed an equal amount of right of way on the West side of Lot 5 and later provide turn arround. Mr. Coleman, representative for the property owners, is in San Francisco and unable to be present this evening. Attorney Shellan advised that should the Council wish to relocate the alley notice of public hearing would again need to be given on the relocation or other portion to be vacated as an alternative. Garrett added that the petitioner could come in with a new proposal at the continued hearing and the Council would have to act in accordance with the law but the petitioner may or may not be interested in such revision and this is what the Council would want to know. The pending motion carried. -2- • April 24, 1967 Honorable Donald Custer, Mayor iiembers of the City Council Re: Vacation of 12th Place Gentlemen: The Engineering Department has no objection to the vacation of 12th Place between llth Place and the northeast corner of Tract C, Block 46, Corrected Flat of Renton Highlands No. 2.

Custer, Mayor and Members of the City Council ;ity Hall 2enton, Washington Re : Vacation of portion of 12th Place Renton Highlands Plat gentlemen and Mrs. Dahlquist: The undersigned represents the owner of properties (100%) abutting upon a portion of 12th Place, Renton Highlands Plat, which is located between 3locks 40 and 46C, which is a very short stretch of roadway which had never been improved or opened but still appears on the plat; this apparently was an error originally inasmuch as the property owners in question several years ago dedicated, free of charge, a portion of right- of-way constituting an extension of 12th Place and leading to H Street, which dedication coincided with the actual road on the ground as it exists today. At the time of such dedication, the non-improved portion of 12th Place should have been vacated but was not done. The purpose of this petition is to vacate subject area and attached hereto is a sketch showing the two portions of roadway hereinabove referred to. We trust that this can be handled expeditiously.
