1:45 p.m. — 2:00 p.m. Open Record Public Hearing A.5-NW Rights of Way Vacation
The Commissioners held an Open Record Public Hearing to consider a petition from Amy
Bertelsen, Christian Daugherty, Pam and Denny Corzine, John and Mary Huntwork, Gary
Lannoye, and Mark Heilman, to vacate a portion of county right-of-way on unbuilt A.5-NW.
Jeff Tincher, Public Works Director, read into the record the following Engineers Report:
The Board of County Commissioners of Grant County Washington has received a petition
to vacate a portion of County Road Right -of -Way (ROW), the Unbuilt Future County ROW
as shown and dedicated in the Pam Corzine Short Plat, AFN 1276435 in the NW X of
Section 35, Township 21 North, Range 26 East W.M., all in Grant County, Washington, as
highlighted on the attached Exhibit A.
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 28,
2017. 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 Future County Road ROW is currently unbuilt; the County does not
maintain an active Road on this ROW and this future ROW does not directly connect to
any existing County Road ROW. This County Road Vacation is only for the Unbuilt Future
County ROW described above and does not impact any existing easements that may or
may not exist.
I find that, this proposed section of County Road ROW is not necessary and useful to the
public and the public would be benefitted by its vacation and abandonment.
Discussion ensued and copies of the petition area was passed out.
Suzie Diliman spoke against the vacation.
Christian Daugherty discussed his petition. (The recording went blank for a bit). He has been
having legal problems with people using the road and there's nothing he can do but sue them
civilly or ask for this road vacation and close it off. This will keep people from speeding on this
road. That's the reason he is here today.
Ken Payne brought forth the Dedication of Easement for "Sun Basin Ranches — West"
from 1982 (enclosed). Discussion ensued.
John Huntwork stated he will not give up his easement for anyone.
Ken Payne discussed the easements.

of-way.
Richard "Rick" Reimers discussed the right-of-ways and easements in the area.
Jeff Tincher discussed the requirements of building a county road and road improvement
districts.
Suzie Dillman asked about the county paving road 12.8 in the area. Discussion ensued.
Rick Reimers — asked how the county benefits if they vacate the right of way? Its not serving
Grant County because its landlocked.
Commissioner Taylor moved to close the public comment portion of the hearing. Commissioner
Stevens seconded and the motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Taylor moved to approve
the recommendation from Public Works and vacate the right-of-way as presented.
Commissioner Stevens seconded and the motion passed unanimously. (Resolution No. 17-101-
