LP`'F'ADF S ... TO TIIFCO/ pO�A LyA MnaASC UNTY KITTITASS COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS PUBLIC HEARING DIRECTOR'S REPORT PROPOSED VACATION OF PORTION OF HOLIDAY AVENUE IN VANTAGE, WA Holiday Avenue in Vantage, WA begins at Boat Ramp Road and extends 0.110 miles to the east, terminating at the section line. This roadway has provided access to dock facilities and adjoining property since 1970. Recent actions by Grant PUD removed the license from the property owner, terminating ongoing use of the private dock. The dock is being removed and a public swimming area is being proposed by Grant PUD. The proposed swim area, at the old private marina site, is expected to create an attractive nuisance for adjoining property and maintenance concerns from Public Works. Currently parking is not permitted along Holiday Avenue and there is not a turnaround on public right-of-way. Public Works is soliciting the Washington State Department of Transportation to acquire additional lands to create additional overflow parking serving the existing boat ramp and river access areas. Public Works proposes vacating a portion of Holiday Avenue and providing an easement to Water District #6 for access (EXHIBIT 1). The rights of way are located in portions of the Section 19 and 30, Township 17 North, Range 23 East, Willamette Meridian, Kittitas County, Washington. Kittitas County Code 12.22.040 requires a Director's Report for all vacation requests. The adjoining property of the proposed vacation involves three parcels, each under separate ownership, the details of which are as follows: Parcel ID: 940933 Map No.: 17-23-19050-0123 Owner Name: Stockdale Inc.
