The proposed redevelopment project for the Park District plans to reconfigure the street layout. This involves dedicating new rights of way, which will cover a larger area than the streets proposed for vacation. Project summary statement: A petition has been received from the Everett Housing Authority requesting the vacation of Larch, Hemlock, and Fir Streets lying south of 12th Street and north of 14th Street in the plat of Baker Heights. The Everett Housing Authority as 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 proposed street vacations are sought as an element of the Everett Housing Authority’s Park District project which proposes to reconfigure the street layout and dedicate new rights of way in the affected area to facilitate the redevelopment of the site. RCW 35.79.010 further requires that City Council set a date and time for the matter to be heard. Recommendation (exact action requested of Council): Adopt Resolution setting February 7, 2024, at 6:30 p.m. as the date and time to hear and determine the petition for the proposed vacation of Larch, Hemlock, and Fir Streets lying south of 12th Street and north of 14th Street in the plat of Baker Heights.
