RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT TOWNSEND
APPROVING RELEASE AND EXTINGUISHMENT OF MILLIKEN RESTRICTIVE
COVENANT
The City Council of the City of Port Townsend, Washington, does resolve as follows:
WHEREAS, on November 18, 1996, Therese V. Milliken and Norman F. Milliken
recorded a restrictive covenant tying together Lots 6, 7 and 8 of Block 2 in the Broadway Addition
to the City of Port Townsend. The covenant was recorded at Jefferson County Auditor's File No.
396224, for the purpose of enabling the City to issue permits for construction of an outbuilding
accessory to a primary residence, and extending water and sewer service from the main residence
to the accessory building. The restrictive covenant provided that the covenant could not be
removed unless approved by the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Millikens have now connected the accessory building to separate water
and sewer service meters and have paid system development charges for the connections. The
building is no longer "accessory" to the original residence on the property. The Millikens wish
to sell the previously accessory building on the property, but cannot do so unless the covenant is
extinguished; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the reason for requiring a restrictive covenant
no longer exists, and the Millikens should be free to use and sell their property without the
limitations imposed by the restrictive covenant,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council for the City of Port
Townsend that the Mayor is authorized to sign the "Release and Extinguishment of Restrictive
Covenant" in substantially the form attached hereto.
ADOPTED by the City Council of the City of Port Townsend and signed by the Mayor
on this 20th day of July, 1998.
