Subject: Street Vacation Request Adjacent to 10410 & 10430 231st St. SW
File Number PLN20170052
Mr. Gunn,
The City of Edmonds has reviewed the application materials you submitted regarding the proposed
street vacation of the unopened right-of-way adjacent to the properties addressed 10410 and 10430
231st St. SW and determined that additional information is needed before we can schedule a public
hearing with the City Council. Please respond to the following items at your earliest convenience:
1. Pursuant to ECDC 20.70.020, one of the criteria the City Council must consider in evaluating
a street vacation is whether the vacation is in the public interest. Please submit a statement
regarding what public interest would be served by the vacation of this portion of right-of-
way.
2. ECDC 20.70.060.0 requires "a site map showing the street, alley, easement or part thereof to
be vacated and showing all properties with subdivision, block, lots, and specifying open and
unopened rights -of -way for a radius of 400 feet from the street, alley, easement, or part
thereof, to be vacated." Although the maps you provided partially indicate this information,
we will need a map indicating all such information, including an indication of open and
unopened rights -of -way within 400 feet of the proposed vacation.
ECDC 20.70.060.G requires "an appraisal prepared by a qualified land appraiser with an
M.A.I. designation, establishing the fair market value of the street, alley, or part thereof to be
vacated." You provided an appraisal of your property (10430 231st St. SW) and an appraisal
of the property addressed 10410 231' St. SW, which includes valuations of both properties
before and after the proposed vacation. It is likely that the value of the right-of-way to be
vacated is equivalent to the difference in these values; however, this must be confirmed by an
appraiser. Please provide a written response from your appraiser confirming the value of the
length of right-of-way proposed to be vacated, including the portions adjacent to the
properties addressed 10410 and 10430 231' St. SW as well as the portion adjacent to the
private vehicular access tract.
4. Refer to the enclosed memorandum from Jeanie McConnell, Engineering Program Manager,
dated December 13, 2017, regarding the proposed street vacation. Please provide written
responses to the items listed in Ms. McConnell's memorandum. Any questions on the
comments in the enclosed memorandum may be directed to Jeanie McConnell at
Jeanie.McConnellgedmondswa.gov or (425) 771-0220.
Once the above requested information has been submitted, we will continue with scheduling a public
hearing before the City Council to consider the street vacation request. I will be the main staff
contact for your application. If you have questions at any point during the review process, you may
reach me at Jen.Machugagedmondswa.gov or (425) 771-0220.
Sincerely,
Jen Mach uga
Associate Planner
