AN ORDINANCE VACATING A PORTION OF THE HAINES STREET RIGHT-
OF-WAY LYING BETWEEN DISCOVERY ROAD AND 30TH STREET,
SUBJECT TO EXCHANGE OF PROPERTIES
WHEREAS, the City Council initiated the street vacation process by Resolution 09-001,
adopted January 5, 2009, and held a hearing on February 2, 2009. The vacation process was
initiated at the request of the City Public Works Department. As a result of the F Street and
Discovery Way project, the City required a portion of the southwest corner of Lot 4, Block 8,
Littlefield's Addition (233 30t°, owned by Randy and Gina Holeman) for sidewalk
improvements. The owners of Lot 4 request a property swap in lieu of cash compensation. The
right-of--way proposed for exchange is an approximately 7' wide strip of unimproved Haines
Street right of way adjacent to the Holeman's residence at 233 30~', comprising about 686 SF. In
return, Holemans would exchange and dedicate 586 SF off the corner of Lot 4 to the City. The
Public Works Department supports the request. The Nonmotorized Transportation Advisory
Board supports the request; and
WHEREAS, the proposed street vacation is not inconsistent with any adopted policies of
the City, is not needed for current or anticipated transportation, utility, emergency purposes, and
does not affect any sensitive areas, and the exchange facilitates the F Street and Discovery Way
project,
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Port Townsend ordains as
follows:
That portion of Haines Street identified as Parcel B on Exhibit A, is hereby vacated, subject to
the terms of this Ordinance
a. Parcel B shall attach to and shall be considered incorporated into (and does not
constitute a parcel separate from) Lot 4, Block 8, Littlefield's Addition, Port
Townsend, Records of Jefferson County, Washington.
b. The owner of the property identified as Parcel A on Exhibit A shall dedicate the same
to the City as right of way in form acceptable to the City Attorney.
c. This Ordinance shall not be recorded with the County Auditor until the terms have
been met. Once recorded, recording constitutes proof the terms have been met.
SECTION 2. Severability. If any provision of this ordinance or its application to any
person or circumstance is held invalid, the remainder of the ordinance, or the application of the
provision to other persons or circumstances, is not affected.
This ordinance shall take effect and be in force upon the recording of this Ordinance by
the City with the County Auditor, which is more than five days after the date of its publication in
the manner provided by law.
