BACKGROUND
These vacations are related to the Sound Transit Link Light Rail South Corridor project. On December 7,
2004, the City signed the Development and Transit Way Agreementfor Sound Transit Link Light Rail
Tukwila Freeway Route Project. Per Section 10.8, Sound Transit has agreed "to cooperate with the City
when it petitions for vacations".
The public hearing date of April 4, 2005 was set by Council on March 7, 2005. The City provided
notification as specified in TMC 11.60.090 and RCW 35.79.020. In addition, the City notified all City
Departments and utilities that may be affected.
ANALYSIS
Street vacations can be initiated in one of two ways. 1) Property owners can initiate a vacation by a
petition signed by abutting property owners, per RCW 35.79.020. The signatures must account for 2/3 of
the right-of-way, by length and the City shall be compensated per TMC 11.60.050. 2) The City can
initiate a street vacation. Street vacations initiated by the City do not require a petition signed by abutting
property owners. Therefore, a City-initiated vacation will not proceed if the City receives written
objection, before the public hearing, from 50% of the abutting property owners, and no compensation is
due the City, per RCW 35.79.020.
Of the seven rights-of-way proposed for vacation, 49th Ave S, S. 138th St. and the western portion of 47th
Av. S, not under the transit way, are City-initiated. The City will not require compensation for these
rights-of-way. The City may require compensation for 35th Av. S, 48th Av. S, S. 146th St, S. 133rd 8t, and
the eastern part of 47th Av. S, under the Sound Transit transit way.
RECOMMENDATION
Conduct the Public Hearing, determine which rights-of-way the Council wishes to vacate, and forward
the vacations to the next Regular Council meeting.

In regards to Resolution No. 1570 and #B. The vacation of 48th Ave S. running
northeasterly from S. 134th Place to the 1-5 on ramp at SR-599.
My Business, A&E Machine, Inc. is located at 4712 S. 134th Place, Seattle, W A 98168.
48th Ave. S. runs along the East side of my Building.
In order for my Business to operate legally and effectively, I must have access to the
South end of my buil.ding for the Fire Department. The only access to the back side of
my building is 48th Ave. South.
Over the last 20 years on a daily basis, I have watched numerous Semi Trucks that have
gotten lost use 48th Ave to turn arouri~ in order to head back down 134th Place. My
business also has semi trucks use 48th Ave to turn around.
If large trucks cannot turn around on 48th Ave. I \\'ill not be able to have deliveries,
which will dramatically affect my business. If Semi-trucks cannot get turned around on
48th Ave. they will become stuck in ffont of my business.
Sincerely,
Eric M. Schweiger
Owner & President
