Place West, located in the City of Edmonds, Washington, and
WHEREAS, following passage of Resolution 912, 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

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 for the vacation to the City, NOW, THEREFORE,

way known as 158th Street Southwest West of 75th Place West, 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
