WHEREAS, oil July 28, 2020, the City Council by Resolution 20-012 set a public hearing date

WHEREAS, on August 27, 2020, the Planning Commission held a public hearing; and

WHEREAS, the City Council desires to vacate the above street pursuant to chapter 22.140
SVMC.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County,
Washington, do ordain as follows:
Section 1. Findings of Fact. Tlhe City Council makes the following findings of fact:
1. The area proposed to be vacated is currently serving three vacant parcels owned by Hanson
Industries. The dedication of the cul-de�sac further west is being required as a condition of the
vacation in order to provide the same level of service to the public. The street vacation requires
the relocation of the border easement and utility easements in order to serve the public interest.
The vacated street will allow for maximum use of the property.
2, The existing cul-de-sac will no longer be required for public access with the new design and
dedication of the new cul-de-sac further west. The new cul-de-sac, border easement and utility
easement will provide the same level of service as is currently provided.
3. The new cul-de-sac will serve the public better because it allows Manson Industries to maximize
the use of their property in an area where urban services are in place.
4. There is no additional right-of-way east of Desmet Court that would allow for a future connection
to Flora Road. Therefore, the dedication of the cul-de-sac will provide an equal level of service to
the public. Spokane Valley Public Works has expressed support of the street vacation.
5. No objections or public comment has been received. The utility providers all provided comments
supporting the street vacation of Destuet Court if all their utilities are moved (at the
owner/developers expense) to their acceptance and approval.
6. The su>siect ROW is adjacent to parcels 45131.0507, 45131,0509 and 45131.0510 and title shall
vest to each parcel for 50 percent of the right-of-way dedicated.
7. Resolution 07-009 and RCW 35.79.030 states that compensation can be requested from the City
for a vacation "If the street or alley has been part of a dedicated public right-of-way for twenty-
five years or more, or if the subject property or portions thereof were acquired at public expense,
the city or town may require the owners of the property abutting the street or alley to compensate
the city or town in an amount that does not exceed the Rill appraised value of the area vacated."
However, the right-of-way proposed to be vacated was dedicated t I years ago in 2009.
Additionally, the right-of-way was obtained through a platting action (binding site plan) and was
not acquired at the public expense. Therefore, the City cannot ask for compensation regarding the
vacation ofDesinet Court.
Section 2. Property to be Vacated. Based upon the above findings and in accordance with
this Ordinance, the City Council does hereby vacate the street or alley which is incorporated herein by
reference, and legally described as follows:
