KITTITAS COUNTY <br />DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br />PUBLIC HEARING STAFF REPORT <br />AGENDA DATE: February 7th, 2017 <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Set a Public Hearing to consider the vacation of <br />portions of Boondoggle Road and East Boondoggle <br />Road unused right of way. <br />BACKGROUND: On November 22nd 2016, Kittitas County Public Works <br />received a request from Robert L. Bailey, authorized <br />agent for petitioners: Dwight Watson, John A. Hamel, <br />Chad T. Hamel, and Linda A. Ammons to vacate <br />portions of Boondoggle Road and East Boondoggle <br />Road. These roads within the public rights of way are <br />privately maintained and no public expenditures have <br />been made on them. <br />On September 1St, 2015 a public hearing was held to <br />consider the vacation of portions of Boondoggle Road <br />and East Boondoggle Road unused right of way, <br />followed by a closed record meeting to consider a plat <br />amendment to the 1973 Teanaway Wagon Wheel Plat. <br />Both requests were denied as it was found the requests <br />were not allowed within County Code because the plat <br />amendment would require the lots to meet current lot <br />standards. <br />The intent of this road vacation is to vacate portions of <br />unused right of way of Boondoggle Road and East <br />Boondoggle Road following a previously approved <br />Boundary Line Adjustment to the 1973 Teanaway <br />Wagon Wheel plat (BL -16-00009) dated September 9th, <br />2016. This plat created Boondoggle Road and East <br />Boondoggle Road as privately maintained roads <br />within public right of way. However, the legal <br />description on the plat does not correctly define where <br />the roads are physically located. The approved <br />Boundary Line Adjustment correctly describes the <br />actual placement of these roads within public right of <br />way and the road vacation will remove the public <br />
