Project summary statement: A petition has been received from Kaiser Permanente requesting to vacate the north- south alley together with the southern east-west alley located in the 2900 Block lying between Pine Street and Maple Street. Note that the northern east-west alley located in this block is not subject to this vacation petition and will remain open for use. The petitioner owns more than two-thirds of the property abutting the alley right-of- way proposed to be vacated, thus fulfilling the statutory requirements of RCW 35.79.010 that the petition must be signed by “the owners of more than two-thirds of the property abutting upon the part of the street or alley sought to be vacated.” The requested vacation is being sought to combine the parcels located on each side of the vacated alleys into a larger, single consolidated site for future development purposes. The requirements set forth by law have been met and notices of the public hearing have been timely posted as required by RCW 35.79 and no negative comments have been received to date. Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): Grant the petition for the proposed vacation of the north-south alley together with the southern east-west alley in the 2900 Block lying between Pine Street and Maple Street and direct staff to prepare an ordinance vacating said alleys subject to the conditions as contained in the attached staff report.
