ORDINANCE NO. 3198
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, VACATING PORTIONS OF THE PLATTED
BUT UNBUILT RIGHT -OF -WAY OF AN UNNAMED STREET
WITHIN MEADOWDALE COUNTY PARK AND FIXING A
TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE.
WHEREAS, the City Council received the application of the City of Edmonds to
vacate portions of the platted but unbuilt right -of -way of an unnamed Street within Meadowdale
County Park, located in the City of Edmonds, Washington, and
WHEREAS, following passage of Resolution 902, notifying the public of the
intent to vacate and following a public hearing held March 17, 1998, the City Council
determines it to be in the public interest to vacate the property, and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that a public benefit is derived from the
vacation of the property by returning the property to the tax roll and relieving the City of the
obligation to maintain a right -of -way easement which has no reasonable likelihood of
development as a public street thereby creating a public interest which outweighs the necessity
to require compensation by abutting property owners to the City, NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, DO
ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
192327 -1-
Section 1. The City Council hereby finds that certain platted but unbuilt right -of-
way known as an unnamed Street within Meadowdale County Park, in Edmonds, Washington,
legally described on the attached Exhibit A, incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth
in full, is surplus to the needs of the City as street right -of -way and shall be vacated. This
finding of vacation is based upon facts presented at the public hearing before the Edmonds City
Council on March 17, 1998. Due to the public benefit to be derived, the abutting property
owners are not required to compensate the City for vacation of the right -of -way.
Section 2. The City Clerk is hereby directed to file a copy of this ordinance in
the land records of Snohomish County.
Section 3. Effective Date. This ordinance, being an exercise of a power specifi-
cally delegated to the City legislative body, is not subject to referendum, and shall take effect
five (5) days after passage and publication of an approved summary thereof consisting of the
title.
