The comments provided below are based upon review of the application and documents
submitted for the subject application in response to plan review comments dated 12/13/2017.
Additional information is requested from the applicant at this time. Please ask the applicant
to respond to the following.
1. 21712018 —Comment Addressed
12/13/2017 - Please provide documentation indicating the subject right-of-way was
deeded entirely by those properties along the north half of the right-of-way.
2. 21712018 —Comment Addressed
12/13/2017 - Contact Olympic View Water and Sewer District and provide the City with
confirmation that the district will or will not require easements through the right-of-way
proposed to be vacated.
3. 21712018 — Mr. Gunn has been working with Brian Harding, Facility Director for the
School District, to determine the extent of easement area needed for the subject storm
line. Based on the records held by the School District, it does in fact appear that the
storm line is located within the right-of-way subject to the proposed street vacation. The
exact location is unknown and Mr. Gunn has a utility locator scheduled to visit the site
in mid -February. If the location of the storm line can be determined, the easement will
likely not need to extend the full width of the subject unopened right-of-way. The extent
of easement area required by the School District will need to be determined by the
appropriate parties at the District. The City will await this confirmation prior to
proceeding with the proposed street vacation request. As such, in order to maintain the
scheduled hearing date on March 20, the limits of the required easement shall be
submitted to the City no later than February 27, 2018.
12/13/2017 - City GIS utility maps indicate a private storm line from the School District is
located within or adjacent to the subject right-of-way. Please contact the School District
and provide the City with confirmation that the school district will or will not require
easements through the right-of-way.
Thank you.
City of Edmonds
