Engineer's Report on Request to Vacate a Portion of Stevens Street, Plat of
Harrisburg, Axon Taylor & Jennifer Sharko- Taylor, Petitioner
In accordance with Ch 36.87 RCW, I have examined the platted right of way, described as
follows:
That portion of platted Stevens Street being approximately 29 feet in width and
125 feet in length adjoining Lots 11 & 12 of Block 8 located within the
Supplemental Plat ofthe Town of Harrisburg located at Page 21, Volume 1 of
Plats, Section 2, Township 29 North, Range 1 West, records of Jefferson County,
Washington.
and as petitioned by Axon Taylor & Jennifer Sharko-Tay1or for statutory vacation, and herewith
submit the following report thereon:
1. The streets were platted on May 30, 1883 in the Supplemental Plat of the
Town of Harrisburg and therefore is vacated under the Road Vacation Ordinance
No. 07-0809-99.
2. Although Stevens Street has been opened for private use, it was not
constructed within this right of way within five (5) years ofthe date of platting.
The portion of Stevens Street that is opened lies within the right of way of
Garfield's Additions which adjoins the Supplemental Plat ofthe Town of
Harrisburg.
3. This portion of right of way has been used as access to property adjoining
it and would be considered a private easement. This vacation removes any cloud
on the title but does not vacate any private easements which may exist.
4. The public will benefit by returning the property being vacated to the tax
rolls, by enhancement of the development potential of the property, and by
increasing the taxable value of the property once the vacation is completed.
100% Recycled Paper
Therefore, for the reasons stated above, it is recommended that the Board of County
Commissioners approve this vacation request.
