1:03 p.m. The Commissioners held an Open Record Public Hearing to consider the vacation of surplus
rights, cul-de-sac, Stacy Drive in Pelican Point as petitioned by Philip Bloom and Diana Bloom.
Keith Elefson, County Engineer, provided the below engineers report:
The Board of County Commissioners of Grant County Washington has received a petition to
vacate that portion of County Right -of -Way surplus being a portion of a cul-de-sac o n
Stacey Drive in the Pelican Point Addition No. 3; lying in the west half of the NW1/4 Section 3
of Township 18 North, Range 28 East W.M., all in Grant County, Washington, as hatch marked
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 1:00 PM, Monday, the 211t Day of June,
2021. 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.
The proponents of the petition own the frontage along the petitioned County Surplus Right-of-
way. The affected parcel is owned by the proponents. Stacey Drive was extended and the cul-
de-sac was removed as part of that extension. This resulted in the portion of the right of way in
question being no longer necessary for proper function of the road.
1 find that this section of County Right-of-way to be surplus, unnecessary, and useless to the
public, and the public would be benefitted by its vacation and abandonment as a reduction in
liability and maintenance, with no exceptions except utilities.
A motion was made by Commissioner Jones, seconded by Commissioner Stone, to close the public
comment portion of the hearing. The motion passed unanimously. A motion was made by
Commissioner Jones, seconded by Commissioner Stone to approve the vacation as presented. The
