OTHER COSTS The Petitioner(s) will be required to submit payment for the appraisal prior to the appraisal assignment being completed. The City reserves the right to select the appraiser for the assignment. The Petitioner(s) will be required to submit a final processing fee of $780.00 if the Council, by resolution, agrees to hold a public hearing. State law states that, if the right of way has been part of a dedicated public right of way for twenty-five years or less, the City may be compensated at one half of the appraised value of the area to be vacated. (RCW 35.79.030) If the subject right of way has been in the inventory for more than 25 years, the City requires the owners of the abutting property to compensate the City in an amount not to exceed the full-appraised value of the area to be vacated. NOTES 1. All conditions must be met within ninety (90) days following the first reading of the ordinance, except when “good cause” is shown for the delay. 2. If the City Council grants the Vacation, it may require monetary compensation or land dedication. This monetary compensation or dedication must be fulfilled by the person filing the petition before the Ordinance granting the Vacation will be signed by the Mayor. 3. If any time prior to the public hearing, 50 percent or more of all the owners of properties adjacent to the street, alley or part thereof, to be vacated file a written objection to the vacation with the Department of Development Services, the City may not hold a public hearing or grant the vacation. 4. The City Council does not make the decision on allocation of the vacated land. Vacated streets are not always distributed equally to the abutting properties, but rather are returned to the property from which the land was originally dedicated. 5. In vacating a street, alley, or part thereof, the City will, usually, reserve an easement for both public and private utilities and their successors or the right to exercise and grant an easement, in the location of the vacation. If the petitioner requests that an easement not be reserved or that the easement be moved or reduced in area, the petitioner must: A. Submit written approvals from all private utilities holding a City franchise within the area proposed to be vacated (see Request for Private Utility Review form attached). B. When mailing out the request form, include a vicinity map, explanation of the vacation request, and the address and legal description of the area to be vacated. C. The written approvals from all private utilities must be submitted before the vacation can be scheduled for a public hearing. It is the applicant’s responsibility to see that the public utilities submit the written approval. ---PAGE BREAK--- City of Puyallup I Engineering Services 333 S Meridian I Puyallup WA 98371 [PHONE REDACTED] Rev 09/12 INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION continued CONDITIONS / CONSIDERATIONS Advice will be solicited from various agencies with an interest in the right of way (City of Puyallup’s Water Department, City of Puyallup’s Sewer Department, City of Puyallup’s Stormwater Department, City of Puyallup’s Street Department, Fruitland Mutual Water Company, Comcast Cable, Puget Sound Energy, Qwest Communications, etc. The City of Puyallup will, usually, reserve an easement for public and private utilities.

If the petitioner requests that an easement not be reserved or that the easement be moved or reduced in area, the petitioner must submit written approvals from those affected private utilities holding a franchise with the City of Puyallup.
