A RESOLUTION OF THE EDMONDS CITY COUNCIL SETTING
A DATE FOR A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE
VACATION OF STREETS LOCATED WITHIN THE RECENTLY
ACQUIRED CIVIC FIELD PROPERTY
WHEREAS, RCW 35.79.010 authorizes the city council to initiate a street vacation
process by passage of a resolution; and
WHEREAS, RCW 35.79.010 requires the city council to fix a time by resolution for
public hearing on any proposed street vacation; and
WHEREAS, RCW 35.79.010 requires that such hearing occur no less than twenty days
and no more than sixty days after the passage of the resolution fixing the hearing date;
and
WHEREAS, in addition to state law, chapter 20.70 ECDC also sets forth street vacation
procedures, some but not all of which are applicable to a street vacation initiated by the
city council; and
WHEREAS, the city council would like to initiate a street vacation process for two
streets within the civic field property that are legally described as follows: Edmonds
Street between Blocks 99 and 100 and Sprague Street between Blocks 100 and 101, City
of Edmonds, according to the plat thereof recorded in volume 2 of Plats, pages 39 and
39A, records of Snohomish County, Washington; and
WHEREAS, this street vacation is being proposed because the vacation would allow the
portion of civic field that is unencumbered by grant covenants to be concentrated in one
area in the western portion of the site along 61h Avenue, which will allow for more
flexibility in the usage of that unencumbered area.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Edmonds, Washington as follows:
Section 1. A public hearing on the proposed street vacation shall be scheduled for April
19th, 2016 at 7:00 p.m. before the Edmonds City Council.
Section 2. The city clerk shall provide notice of the public hearing as required pursuant
to RCW 35.79.020 and ECDC 20.70.090.
RESOLVED this 15th day of March, 2016.
