Resolution No.
6 g -.01
WHEREAS, in August 2000 the Jefferson County Commissioners were requested by
Marie Campanoli and Mark Hering, property owners in Glen Cove, to formally recognize and
acknowledge that any rights or privileges the public might have held in certain rights-of-way
platted in the Eisenbeis Bay View Addition Plat (located in Glen Cove) had been automatically
extinguished in 1895 by operation of law, thus making the rights-of-way Class "c" rights-of-
ways according to the County's Ordinances on street vacations; and,
WHEREAS, that request from Ms, Campanoli and Mr. Hering came to the County staff
(and eventually to the County Commissioners) in the form of a "Petition for Statutory Vacation;"
and,
WHEREAS, since the County staff and the County Commissioners found and concluded
that the "Petition for Statutory Vacation" was complete and in order, the County thus formally
recognized the automatic extinguishment of any public interest in certain real property located in
Glen Cove by reviewing, adopting and executing Resolution #71-00; and
WHEREAS, Russell Trask, another property owner in Glen Cove, challenged the
effectiveness of Resolution #71-00 with a lawsuit in Superior Court, stating that he did not
receive notice that such a Resolution might be adopted by the County Commissioners although
he should have received such notice; and
WHEREAS, Rusell Trask was successful in his Superior Court lawsuit, which ended
with the Superior Court Judge ordering another public hearing to be held with respect to
Resolution #71-00 AND requiring that Russell Trask get notice of this public hearing; and
WHEREAS, the public hearing mandated by the signed Order of the Superior Court was
held on August 15, 2001 after proper notice to Mr. Trask and other property owners by mail and
separate notification by publication of a notice in the Jefferson County-Port Townsend Leader;
and
WHEREAS, the public hearing was held so that an interested person or persons could
provide evidence that the rights-of-way that were included as part of the "Petition for Statutory
Vacation" were wrongly deemed to be Class "c" rights-of-way; and
WHEREAS, there was no evidence presented at the August 15, 2001 public hearing that
the rights-of-way to be vacated were anything but Class "c" rights-of-way; and
Resolution No. Rq-nl Readopting and Reaffirming Resolution No. 71-00
Page 2
WHEREAS, neither the Petitioners nor the County have discovered any evidence that
would change the initial conclusion of the County's Public Works Department (and the
Petitioners) that the rights-of-way which are the subject of this "Petition for Statutory Vacation"
are anything but Class "C" rights-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the County Commissioners have been provided with no information, facts
or evidence that would lead them to reach a different conclusion than they did before, i.e., that
Resolution #71-00, because it is supported by the available evidence, should be adopted and
executed; and
WHEREAS, the County Commissioners desire to readopt and reaffirm Resolution #71-
00, which was recently struck down by the Order of the Superior Court.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL VED, by the Jefferson County Commissioners as
follows:
1. Resolution #71-00, acknowledging and recognizing that a so-called 'statutory
vacation' has occurred automatically and by operation of law with respect to
certain portions of Charles Street, Julian Street and the alley way located within
Lot 22 of the plat known as the Eisenbeis Bay View Addition, be and is hereby
reaffirmed and readopted,
2. Utility rights, private easements, or other rights or interests may still exist.

Engineers Report in support of Statutory Road Vacation Resolution
No. 71-00, in reference to portions of Julian Street, Charles Avenue,
and portion of Alley Block 22, Plat of Eisenbeis Bay View Addition;
Hering/ Camanoli, Petitioners
Description:
A Report further addressing the Department of Public Works research and findings
with respect to Resolution No. 71-00 in conjuntion with an additional hearing ordered
by the Superior Court to provide Plaintiff Russell Trask the opportunity to be heard
before the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners, Said Resolution No, 71-
00 recognized a Statutory Road Vacation, pursuant to a petition submitted by
Hering/Camanoli within the Plat of Eisenbeis Bay View Addition, further described in
the attached Resolution,
Statement of Issue:
The streets requested in the petition were dedicated in the Plat of Eisenbeis Bay View
Addition on April 4, 1890. Therefore, they fall under the Class C section of the Road
Vacation Ordinance and the request was processed accordingly..
Russell Trask has filed a civil lawsuit against this County alleging that Jefferson
County should not have adopted Resolution No. 71-00 acknowledging the statutory
vacation proven by Mr.. Hering and Ms. Campanoli because Hering and Campanoli did
not properly notify every property owner entitled to know that they were seeking to
obtain a statutory vacation from the elected County Commissioners,
The County specifically does not acknowledge that the procedure, documents or
actions taken by Hering and Campanoli or any County employee during the process
that led to the adoption of Resolution No. 71-00 were in any way deficient, improper,
unlawful or served to deprive Plaintiff Trask of any rights or privileges he might hold
as a property owner inside the Plat,
,----
Department of Public Works
Hearing Agenda
Page 2 of 2
Plaintiff Trask brought the matter before the Jefferson County Superior Court wherein
the Judge ruled that the plaintiff was entitled to notification regarding Julian Street
and therefore an additional Hearing was scheduled for August 15, 2001 with published
notification. Further written notification to property owners was undertaken by the
petitioners, Hering / Campanoli.
Analysis:
Neither the Petitioners nor the Department of Public Works have uncovered any
additional evidence that Julian Street was opened to the public use between April 3,
1890 and April 3, 1895. The property owners within the subject area will have
another opportunity to prove that Julian Street was opened or not within the above-
described timeframe following the Superior Courts instruction, during the hearing
scheduled August 15, 2001.
The Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners will then have another occasion
to review all the evidence in order to further determine if the County was divested of
its interest in the subject rights of way by operation of law, Laws of 1889-1890,
Chapter 19, Section 32,

Recommendation:
Based on the information available, the Department of Public Works suggests that the
subject area was vacated by operation of law and the County divested of its interest
under the laws of 1889-1890, Chapter 19, Section 32, before the 1909 amendment,
Laws of 1909, Chapter 90, Section 1, and further recommends that the Board of
County Commissioners acknowledge this action and uphold and reaffirm Resolution
71-00 as adopted August 7, 2000. The County Commissioners would reaffirm
Resolution 71-00 by adopting a Resolution so stating.

SUBJECT:
Engineer's Report on Request to Vacate a portion of Charles Avenue, Julian Street and the alley
lying in Block 22, Plat of Eisenbeis Bay View Addition adioining the Petitioners real property;
Mark Hering & Marie Campanoli, Petitioners.
In accordance with Ch 36.87.040 RCW, I have examined the platted right of way, described as follows:
All that portion of the alley located in Block 22 adjoining Lots 1-6, and 7-12 (approximately 10 feet by
300 feet) that adjoins the petitioner's real property;
All that portion of Julian Street adjoining Block 22 (approximately 30 feet by 209 feet) that adjoins the
petitioner's real property;
All that portion of Charles Avenue lying between and adjoining Block 22 and Block 35 (approximately
60 feet by 300 feet) that adjoins the petitioner's real property;
A portion of platted Eisenbeis Bay View Addition, Volume~, Page 54 of Plats, records of
Jefferson County, Washington.
and as petitioned by Mark Hering & Marie Campanoli for statutory vacation, and herewith submit the following
report thereon:
1. The streets were platted on April 3, 1890, recorded April 4, 1890 in the Plat of Eisenbeis Bay
View Addition and therefore qualify for the Class C status, as defined under Section 2 of the
Road Vacation Ordinance No. 07-0809-99.
2. T he subject right of ways were never opened for public use within five (5) years of the date
of platting based on the best information currently available through the Department of Public
Works.
Therefore, for the reasons stated above, the Department of Public Works suggests that the subject area was
vacated by operation oflaw and the County divested of its interest under the laws of 1889-1890, Chapter 19,
Section 32, before the 1909 amendment, Laws of 1909, Chapter 90, Section 1, and further recommends that the
Board of County Commissioners acknowledge this action and uphold Resolution 71-00 as adopted August 7,
2000.

_.~---
Plat Qualification Determination:
Definition of Class C roads per Section 2 of the Road Vacation Ordinance 07-0809-99 states
the following:
Class C: Roads dedicated on a plat that was filed before March 12, 1904, which
remained unopened for public use for a period of five years after authority was granted
for opening them.
Therefore, given the date of dedication and recording preceded March 12, 1904, the roads
within said plat meet the qualification of Class C road status.
Historic Research:
The 1915 Historic Road Map book is the earliest depiction of all territorial roads that were
part of the County Road system. These maps consist of plats/surveys of existing county roads
per Section, Township and Range. The earliest indication of any roads within the subject area
according to the 1915 road maps show a portion of the Pt. Townsend-Pt. Ludlow road also
called Ohmans to Bishop Cut-off and designated as No. 13, Plat Book No.1, page 18, year of
1884. The next reference is Road No. 13A known as the Pt. Townsend-Chimacum, Plat Book
No.1, Page 58, year of 1889. This road description holds until the 1915 version ofthe Pt.
Townsend-Chimacum Road, which on the 1915 version includes delineation of the Pt.
Townsend water line relative to Section 16, T30 North, Range 1 West.
Given the delineation of these historic road locations with the Pt. Townsend water line
location we can determine that these earliest road locations are not within the subject area of
Julian Street. In 1889, the Port Townsend-Chimacum Road lies westerly of the subject
property. In 1915 the Port Townsend-Chimacum Road lies westerly ofPt. Townsend Water
line, which, in turn, lies westerly of the area for Julian Street along the south line of the
subj ect section.
The Department of Public Works further verified with Jefferson Title that no records exist
showing Julian Street within that portion of Section 16.
Therefore, based on the historic information available from Plat Book No.1, the 1915 Road
Map Book and verification regarding the lack of any public records through the Title
Company our conclusion is that the County had never constructed or opened a road in the
platted right of way of Julian Street within 5 years ofthe recorded dedication of the PLAT OF
EISENBEIS BAY VIEW ADDITION, recorded April 4, 1890, in Volume 2, Page 54 of Plats,
records of Jefferson County.
Conclusion:
The Department of Public Works has determined that the subject roads as petitioned for
statutory vacation, qualify for the Class C designation by virtue of the fact that the plat of
Eisenbeis Bay View Addition to the city of Port Townsend was dedicated April 3, 1890,
Recorded April 4, 1890, in Volume 2, Page 54 of Plats, records of)efferson County, prior to
March 12, 1904.
Whether or not the subject right of way is vacated by operation oflaw is clearly a question of
fact. The road was either opened or not within the requisite period of time. The Department
of Public Works found no evidence that the County established a public road on that
portion of Julian Street, Charles Street or the alley in Block 22 as described in the
petition, from 1890 to 1895. The information reviewed included current road log
information, the 1915 Road Map and the plat descriptions of territorial roads in the vicinity of
the subject plat.
In 1890, the State Legislature passed the following statute:
Any county road, or part thereof, which has heretofore been or may hereafter be
authorized, which remains unopen for public use for a space of five years after the
order is made or authority granted for opening the same, shall be, and the same is
hereby vacated, and the authority for building the same barred by lapse of time. Laws
of 1889-1890, Chapter 19, Section 32.
Thus, in the absence of any proof that Julian Street, Charles Street or the alley within Block
22 of the Eisenbeis Bay View Addition Plat were dedicated or opened to the public or
accepted by Jefferson County prior to a date five years after the recording ofthe applicable
plat with the County Auditor, i.e., April 3, 1895, the statutory vacation of those regions has
occurred and did occur pursuant to Chapter 19, Section 32 of the Laws of 1889-1890 and
should be formally recognized by the elected Jefferson County Commissioners.
