1:45 p.m. —1:55 p.m. Vacation of a portion of 24 -NE and P -NE Road and Rights -of -Way
(Stevens)
The Commissioners held an Open Record Public Hearing to consider a vacation request from
David and Rose Stevens. Commissioner Stevens recused himself from the hearing as the
proponents are family members.
Jeff Tincher, Public Works Director 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 being all that portion of County Road 24 -NE, Road
Log Number 51960, from Mile Post 0.62 to Mile Post 1.45 and County Road P -NE, Road
Log Number 53750, from Mile Post 0.00 to Mile Post 1.00 , lying in Sections 34 & 35 of
Township 23 North, Range 29 East W.M. and Section 2 of Township 22 North, Range 29
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, February 19, 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.
The proponents of the petition own the majority of the frontage along the petitioned
County Road. Road 24 -NE & P -NE is on the active County Road System. All affected parcels
are either owned by the proponents or have frontage on other currently maintained public
roads.
I find that, these sections of County Road 24 -NE &P -NE are not necessary and useful to the
public and the public would be benefitted by its vacation and abandonment with the
following conditions:
• The petitioners construct a turnaround approved by the County Road Engineer on
24 -NE at Mile Post 0.62 and dedicate any additional right-of-way required for the
turnaround.

Grant County Commissioners Minutes
Week of February 18, 2019
If this Road Vacation is approved, the vacation document shall not be recorded
until the turnaround is accepted and approved by the County Road Engineer and
any additional right-of-way required for the turnaround is dedicated to the
County.
Cliff Sears, Attorney representing the proponents, stated they are in agreement with the
Engineers' Report, including the extra conditions.
A motion was made by Commissioner Carter, seconded by Commissioner Taylor to close the
public comment portion of the hearing. The motion passed with 2 Commissioners in attendance.
Commissioner Carter moved to approve the recommendation of the Public Works Director and
grant the vacation as presented, including the 2 Conditions of Approval. Commissioner Taylor
seconded and the motion passed with 2 Commissioners in attendance. The hearing adjourned.
(Resolution No. 19 -016 -CC)
2:30 p.m. — 2:50 p.m. Consent Agenda (Items 1 through 11)
