Petition of West Coast Self-Storage and General Steel Services of Washington, LLC for the vacation of a portion of 29th Avenue Southwest and Southwest City View Street.
Bill passes and show so please read the next agenda item. The Report of the Sustainability and Transportation Committee Jan 914 Clearfield 314 357 Petitioner, West Coast Self-Storage and General Street Services, a Washington LLC for the vacation of a portion 29th Avenue, Southwest and Southwest City View Street. The committee recommended the the petition be granted as conditioned consumer. Brian, thank you. Just to orient folks, the parcel we're talking about is immediately north of the west Seattle Bridge along Harbor Avenue. It's between Harbor Avenue and Terminal five Port of Seattle property. And this would vacate Southwest City View Street and 29th Avenue Southwest. These are leftover remnants of a network of streets that used to exist on Terminal five, currently used for parking and common rail lines for Nucor Steel. The vacation proposal would allow the development of a self-storage warehouse in exchange of public benefit would include improvements to the the right away, the sidewalk in the trail, relocating some light poles the currently obstruction and it came up during committee that are actually after committee. It was highlighted by a trail advocate from West Seattle. Concerns about the proximity of the building to the trail and its sightlines can make it difficult for vehicles entering and exiting the what that doing a little research we realized there was a mistake in the presentation. Those concerns had largely been addressed already and the building had intended to set back from the trail to allow better sightlines for safety. But during the presentation in committee, the the image, the graphic that they showed was an older version that showed the building built right up to the street. So I believe Councilmember Herbold has a substitute that would incorporate those changes. Councilmember Herbold, Thank you. I move to amend clerk file 314357 by substitute substituting version two for version one of the conditions of the city council. Second has been moved in, seconded to amend the clerk file by submitting version two for version one. All those in favor of the amendment both i. I oppose. The ayes have it. So that's the amend the amendment has passed. Councilmember Herbold, you want to explain it a little more? And I think Councilmember O'Brien did a great deal, a great job explaining the difference. The condition that we just supported in amendment is 100% in line with the recommendation of the Design Commission to consider different design options to improve sightlines for the vehicular exit in order to enhance safety within the public realm. Don Brubeck of. West Seattle bike connections brought to our attention that the action taken in committee was not was not consistent, and that we needed to take further action to correct it. So I thank him for that. Thank you. Any closing comments, Councilmember O'Brien, are we ready to file the file? Just mention this again is for the public. This is a conditional approval. So assuming this passes out of committee, the project would be allowed to proceed. And then once the project is complete, they would come back to the full council demonstrating that they met the conditions at which point we would ultimately do the actual street vacation. Very good. So those in favor of granting the petition as amended and conditioned vote. I. I. Those opposed vote no. The motion carries petition is granted as condition and the chair was signed the conditions of the City Council. Okay. That concludes our formal agenda. Is there any further business to come before the council? Councilwoman Herbold. Thank you. I'd like to request permission for an absence on Monday, September 18th. It's been moved its second and that Councilmember Herb will be excused for September 18th. All those in favor say I. I suppose the ayes have it. And I would like to be excused from for October 2nd and October 9th. It's been moved and seconded. Councilperson Harold Excuse for October 2nd and October 9th. All those in favor say i. I. Maybe an astronaut says no. All those no, no. But any further business come before the council. With that, we'll stand and join everyone. Have a great afternoon.
