1:30 p.m. The Commissioners held an Open Record Public Hearing to consider the vacation for
Road 23 -NE Right of Way Finney Rd / Bruner Petition.
Keith Elefson, County Engineer, read into the record his engineers 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 23 -NE, Road Log Number 52330, from Mile Post
0.41 to Mile Post 0. 76, the end of the County road, together with unbuilt rights
known as Old County Road 872, Finney Road lving in Section 9 of Township
22 North, Range 30 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 1:30 PM, September 15, 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 RCWs 36.87.050.
The proponents of the petition own the majority of the frontage along the
petitioned County Road. Road 23 NE is on the active County Road System.
All affected parcels are owned by the proponents.
I find that, this section of County Road 23 -NE and the unbuilt rights through
Bruner lands are not necessary and useful to the public and the public would
be benefitted by the vacation and abandonment.
A motion was made by Commissioner Taylor, seconded by Commissioner Stevens to close the
public comment portion of the hearing. The motion passed unanimously. Commissioner Stevens
moved to approve the vacation as presented. Commissioner Taylor seconded and the motion
passed unanimously. The hearing adjourned.
