way known as 72nd Avenue West from 320 feet North of 156th Street Southwest to the
Edmonds corporate limits, 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-
