intersection of SE 236`h PI. and 132nd Ave. SE from King County through the Meridian Valley
Annexation on July 1, 1997. For reasons not known, ownership of Tracts A, B and C were not
transferred by King County at the time of annexation.
Summary: The transfer of ownership for Tracts A and B from King County to the City of Kent will
allow City staff to protect these sensitive areas adjacent to Upper Meridian Valley Creek and to
address maintenance issues. King County has been unable to respond to maintenance requests in
these Tracts from Kent citizens. The City will be able to maintain these areas once ownership is
transferred.
Recommendations: Recommend City Council to authorize the Mayor to accept three parcels
(Tracts A, B and C) in the Plat of Twin Creeks from King County for the City of Kent to maintain
and protect these sensitive areas.

Thank you for your recent email regarding the City's Law Department's request to
revise the language of the Deed for the above referenced greenbelt properties.
Enclosed is a copy of the revised deed. Also enclosed is a copy of the original deed to

Iin the revised deed.
Please review the deed, and if acceptable, notify me by email or letter. Upon receipt of
your confirmation, the deed will be recorded and forwarded to you for your files.
If you have any questions, please call me at (206) 205-5647.
