Title

NW Utah Street Vacation Request and Agreement

Details: A petition has been signed by all abutting property owners of the NW Utah Street right-of-way (ROW). This unimproved stubbed piece of ROW is approximately 2,300 square feet in area and lies just north of NW 6th Place. Directly north of this ROW is the Hillside Terrace Subdivision, which has access to NW Sierra Lane. Due to the steep topography of the land and the lack of need to construct a public roadway, Camas staff supports the vacation of this ROW. The street vacation process is explained in the attached Chapter 35.79 of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). Mr. Bryan Anderson is in the process of purchasing two properties lying due north and due east of the Utah Street ROW. He wishes to acquire this ROW and complete a boundary line adjustment for lots 23 and 80 as shown on the attached "NW Utah St. Proposed Lot & Drainage Layout" aerial map. Mr. Anderson intends to build a house on the proposed Lot 80, which would include the requested vacation area. The attached "NW Utah St. Agreement" provides the terms for the potential ownership exchange of the ROW. If the vacation is approved through the legal process, Mr. Anderson will provide an easement over the existing public storm line on lots 23 and 80 and will construct a ditch within the requested vacation area to redirect the current storm overland flow across lot 80. If the Utah Street ROW is vacated, an easement will be secured for the new ditch alignment.

Presenter: James Carothers, Engineering Manager
