EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION:  Approved by Ken Klein 11/18/25

 

PURPOSE: Council approval of an ordinance to grant right-of-way vacation for an unopened portion of 40th St SE.

 

BACKGROUND: • A petition was received from Brett and Angela Nicholson to vacate a county road right-of-way (ROW) for a portion of 40th St SE.• The subject ROW is located along the north boundary line of the plat of Glenwood Vista east of 103rd Ave SE.

• The subject ROW is 30 feet in width, with the north 20 feet deeded in 1942, and the south 10 feet dedicated in 1969.

• ROW is currently classified as “B” under Snohomish County Code 13.100.040 (7b) with no public expenditures for maintenance and “D” (7d) ROW in which the county has an easement, and no public expenditures were made.

• There are no utilities located or planned for the subject ROW, nor does it give access to a body of water.

• The Department of Public Works has determined it is not advisable to preserve all or a portion of the ROW for transportation purposes, and it will benefit the public to vacate and abandon the ROW.
