Box 1220 Port Townsend, WA 98368 (206) 385-9160 Gary Rowe, PE., Director / County Engineer MEMORANDUM FROM: DATE: Board of County Commissioners /'~ Gary A. Rowe, County Engineer Dr- TO: SUBJECT: June 1, 1994 Statutory Road Vacation Don & JoAnn Cooper, Petitioners I have examined the retition submitted by Don and JoAnn Cooper for statutory vacation of portions 0 Louisa Street and Elwood Avenue described as follows: That portion of platted, unopened Louisa Street being 60 feet in width and aEproximately 100 feet in length lying between Lot 1 of Block 3 and Lot 6 of Block 2 in Eisenbeis Bay View Adaition, as recorded at page 54 of Volume 2 of Plats, records of Jefferson County, Washington, along with that portion of platted, unopened Elwood Avenue being 60 feet in width lying east of the easterly margin of platted Sophia Street and west of the westerly margin of platted Ehzabetli Street in said plat. A sworn affidavit was submitted by the petitioners to support the determination that the platted streets were not opened between the time of platting (April 4, 1890) and the statutory 5 year limit. I inspected the site on May 24, 1994, and found no evidence of a street in existence or having been opened in the past. The street and adjoining property is timbered with trees approximately 50 years old. Also, highlighted on the enclosed map are streets that were previously vacated (yellow). Fredrick Street and a portion of Elizabeth Street are currently open. Fredrick Street is on the County Road Log. Based on the above information, I believe the petitioned streets have been vacated by operation of law and the County should divest itself of any or all interests.
