Josh Fredrickson stated that the <br />applicants- 4 property owners adjacent to the parcel have filed <br />jointly. Discussion was held. Staff was directed to prepare enabling <br />documents for a public hearing to consider the vacation of Cascade <br />Drive and Fort Simcoe Road. <br />PROPOSED VACATION OF HILLVIEW DRIVE <br />Mark Cook proposed to the Board of County Commissioner the vacation <br />of Hillview Drive, a road that was created along with short plat in <br />2003. Mark Cook stated that currently all parcels in this area are <br />accessing off Bowers Rd with a joint use private drive. Staff was <br />directed to prepare enabling documents for a public hearing to <br />consider the vacation of Hillview Drive. <br />PROPOSED VACATION HOLIDAY AVENUE <br />Mark Cook stated staff is requesting Board direction on the vacation <br />of Holiday Avenue. Mark Cook continued that currently, improvements <br />create an attractive nuisance because the road doesn't reach the <br />Columbia River. The vacation would reduce maintenance demand on the <br />Road Fund and benefit neighboring property owners. Mark Cook added <br />that Holiday Avenue is adjacent to a steep drainage area not <br />benefiting the county and through a Boundary Line Adjustment might <br />accompany the road vacation. Discussion was held. Staff was directed <br />to prepare enabling documents for a public hearing to consider the <br />vacation of Holiday Avenue in Vantage. <br />2022-4-11 Minutes <br />
