A RESOLUTION of the City Council of the
City of Kent, Washington, initiating and setting a
public hearing date to consider the vacation of a
portion of Naden Street, also known as Naden
Avenue.
RECITALS
A. The City Council of the City of Kent, Washington ("City") wishes
to initiate vacation proceedings for a portion of what was named "Naden
Street" in 1910 by Ordinance No. 237, which runs north to south from West
Meeker Street. Currently, roadways running from north to south within the
City of Kent are referred to as "AVenueS" and consequently, this roadway is
also known as "Naden Avenue." Throughout this Resolution, this roadway
will be referred to as "Naden Street/Avenue." The portion to be considered
for vacation ("Vacation Area") starts approximately at the southern border
of King County Parcel Numbers 2422049120 and 2422049t03 and ends at
the portion of Naden Avenue that the City acquired in fee simple from the
Washington State Department of Transportation (Parcel No. 6000000063).
The Vacation Area also includes the alleyways running east-west, to the
south of Parcel Numbers 2422049L20 and 2422049L03. The Vacation Area
is more particularly described in depicted upon Exhibit A attached and
incorporated into this Resolution,

B. The City currently owns real property abutting the eastern
portion of Naden Street/Avenue and one parcel abutting the western portion
of Naden Street/Avenue ("Naden Assemblage"). Vacation of this portion of
Naden Street/Avenue will connect the City-owned properties within the
Naden Assemblage and create one contiguous area to better accommodate
future development. This proposed vacation only impacts one parcel owned
by a private party-Parcel No.2422O49120. The City owns all other parcels
abutting the Vacation Area. No monetary consideration for the vacation will
be required, Upon vacation, the property within the limits vacated belongs
to the abutting property owners, one-half to each.
C. Vacating this portion of the roadway preserves the access
provided by Naden Street/Avenue to the Parcel Numbers 2422049L20 and
2422049L27.In the future, dfly development on the Naden Assemblage will
be accessed by a new street on the easterly side of the Assemblage, running
north to south from West Meeker Street to a new intersection allowing only
right turns from and onto Willis Street. For these reasons, Naden
Street/Avenue is no longer required for public use and the new access will
be more useful to the public,
D. Chapter 6.09 of the Kent City Code (*KCC") allows the City
Council to initiate a street vacation by adopting a resolution. This resolution
must fix a time to consider the street vacation itself ("Street Vacation
Hearing"). KCC 6.09.010 requires that the Street Vacation Hearing be set no
morethan 60 days, nor less than 20 days afterthe passage of the resolution,
Setting the date for the Street Vacation Hearing on June 2I,2022 meets this
requirement.
E. The City must also provide notice of the Street Vacation Hearing
in accordance with KCC 6.09.020. Specifically, the City Clerk must provide
the following notice of the Street Vacation Hearing: (1) posting notice in

all parcels of land or other property abutting the street proposed to be
vacated as shown in the rolls of the county assessor. This notice must state
that the City is considering vacating a portion of the street and give the time
and place for the Street Vacation Hearing. Additionally, the City must also
solicit comments from its own departments, from utility companies, and from
any others who may have a special interest in the vacation of the street.
F. To meet these requirements, this resolution sets the date of the
Street Vacation Hearing at the regularly scheduled City Council meeting on
June 2I, 2022.
