DUE TO THE FTR SYSTEM NOT WORKING -NG WAS NOT RECORDED. The

within Lot I of the Westridge Major Plat, Parcel no. 121822445 (S 26., T 20 N., R 27 E) for Bob
Fancher of Fancher Land Investments.
Jeff Tincher, County Road Engineer, read into the record his engineer's report:
The Board of County Commissioners of Grant County Washington has received a petition
to vacate that portion of County Road Right -of -Way (ROW) being a portion of Right -of -
Way known as Westridge Major Plat —Lot 1 approximately 230 feet in length, lying in
Section 26 of Township 20 North, Range 27 East W.M., all in Grant County, Washington,
as highlighted on the attached Exhibit A. I
The Board of County Commissioners determined that consideration should be given to the
petition and directed the County Road Engineer to prepare a report on the proposed
vacation and abandonment for a public hearing to be held at 1:45 PM,, November 11,
2019. The Notice of Hearing was published in the County Official Newspaper and the
Notice of Hearing was posted at each termini in compliance with RCW 36-87.050.
This section of County Road ROW is currently unimproved and the County does not
maintain an active Road on this ROW. All affected parcels are either owned by the
proponents or have frontage on other currently maintained public roads.
/find that, this section of County Road is not necessary and useful to the public and the
public would be benefitted by its vacation and abandonment.
Gil Alvarado, representative for the Fanchers, explained that the adjoining lot, the owners built
a shop on what they thought was their property., but it was the Fancher's property. They
worked with Public Works and found that a Boundary Line Adjustment and this vacation was the
way to rectify this situation.
