RESOLUTION NO. 10-006
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON,
DECLARING REAL PROPERTY TO BE SURPLUS PURSUANT TO SPOKANE VALLEY
MUNICIPAL CODE (SVMC) SECTION 3.40.070(B); APPROVING THE TRADE OF REAL
PROPERTY PURSUANT TO SVMC 3.40.070(D); AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
EXECUTE ALL DOCUMENTS NECESSARY TO CONVEY AND/OR SELL SAID REAL
PROPERTY.
WHEREAS, Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 3.40.070(B) requires a declaration that
real property be declared surplus by the Spokane Valley City Council prior to its disposal; and
WHEREAS, the criteria for a declaration of surplus property is set forth in SVMC 3.40.070
includes the following:
1. The City has or anticipates no practical, efficient, or appropriate use for the property.
2. The purpose served by the property can be accomplished by use of a better, less costly, or more
efficient alternative.
3. The purpose served by the property no longer exists as determined by a change of policy or
practice.
WHEREAS, upon such a declaration passed by resolution by the Spokane Valley City Council,
the Finance Director is authorized to sell surplus property; and
WHEREAS, department directors have been notified of the surplus nature of this property and no
department other than the Public Works Department has any desire to acquire or use the proposed surplus
property; and
WHEREAS, a trade of real property is allowed pursuant to SVMC 3.40.070 (D) where, upon
receipt of a report by the Finance Director, the City finds that the trade of real property would realize a
greater benefit to the City than a sale for cash; and
WHEREAS, approximately 1,330 square feet of real property was acquired as part of the
acquisition of right-of-way for the Broadway Avenue Improvement Project No. 0088, commonly referred
to as parcel 43B2. The property was appraised by Skillings-Connolly. The City subsequently determined
that additional right-of-way and utility and swale easement was required from an adjacent property
owner. By trading the unneeded parcel 43B2, the City is able to reduce the cost of acquiring the
necessary right-of-way and utility and swale easement from the adjacent property. All of the parcels of
property involved have been appraised, and the City is receiving full value for the traded property. The
specific costs and property descriptions are set forth in the report by the Project Manager, Senior
Engineer, Public Works Director and Finance Director attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, as a result of this trade the City would realize a greater benefit than would be
derived for the cash sale of the property in question; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to SVMC 3.40.070 (D) upon the declaration of surplus real property and
where a benefit to the City is established, such a trade of real property is authorized.

Re: Broadway improvement Project(Moore-Flora)OP 0088—ROW Trade
While acquiring right-of-way(ROW)for the Broadway Avenue Reconstruction—Moore to
Flora Project, (#0088) a triangular piece of old railroad property was discovered that had
not been properly transferred when adjacent property had subsequently been sold See
the attached Vicinity Map, Exhibit, Surplus of Parcel 43B2, and Quit Claim Deed
637152B. As a result,the legal owner, Shelly White, an heir of the original owner,was
unaware she owned the triangular piece until the City contacted her requesting
purchase.
Skillings-Connolly, the consultant ROW agent working for the City on the project
appraised the White property at $2 50/SF See the attached Shelly White Administrative
Offer Summary.
The City purchased the entire triangular parcel from Ms. White on December 14, 2009
as two separate parcels a 771 SF parcel (43B1)to be used as future Broadway Avenue
ROW for$1,950 and the remainder 1,300 SF parcel(43B2)for$3,250 See the attached
"B2 Quit Claim Deed, "B2" ROW Exhibit A, and Exhibit B
The City is also purchasing ROW and drainage easements from J. Brent McKinley the
owner of the adjoining property at 16608 E. Broadway. The attached Summary.
Appraisal Report for the McKinley ROW parcel 43A, prepared by Appraisal Solutions
Northwest appraised the McKinley parcel at$2 50/SF The attached Real Property
Appraisal Review for the McKinley property, conducted by Barrett Associates Real
Estate concurred.
Surplus i_.perty Report Page 2.
Public Works staff believes the triangular piece of old railroad ROW (parcel 4382) has
no value to the city as public ROW and since it has the same appraised square foot
value, proposes to trade this piece to Mr. McKinley to help offset the cost of ROW being
purchased from Mr. McKinley for the road project.
The approximate cost breakdown,for the McKinley purchase involving the trade is as
follows. These numbers are approximate and may change slightly as negotiations are
finalized.
ROW-2,595 SF of RW Land @ $2.50/SF $6,488
Utility Easement—4,299.13 SF @$1 25/SF $5,374
Swale Easement 6,975 SF @ $2,50/SF $17,438
Improvements— Fence $2,300
Trade Parcel 43B2- 1,300 SF of RW Land $2.50/SF(Credit) <$3,250>
Total estimated compensation $28,350
To complete this transaction in accordance with the city's Municipal Code, Council
actions are required to surplus the triangular piece of property and approve trading it to
Mr. McKinley.
