2323 Quirk File 314309 Petition of Seattle Department Transportation to vacate Broad Street right away between Dexter Avenue North and Ninth Avenue North, a small area of adjacent merges Marcia Street and any remaining eighth Avenue North right of way between Mercer and Roy Street to consolidate all property on the block between Mercer Street and Royce Street, Dexter Avenue , North and Ninth Avenue North Committee recommend recommends the petition be granted it's condition. That's premier Brian. Thank you. This is one of two pieces of legislation that we will discuss in the other in a moment related to what we refer to as the teardrop site. This is a large parcel property in South Lake Union, just on the north side of Mercer, and the other would be the east side of Dexter that is owned by Seattle Department of Transportation. Some of that land is owned outright and some of it is owned as street right away. We refer to that as a teardrop site, because when you leave the former site of Broad Street going through there, it makes it look like a shape of a teardrop with this action will be vacating. Well, not this section, but this is the beginning of the first of two steps will take to vacate the right of way and Starwood would basically buy that right away from itself and make that whole parcel a regular parcel of land. And it will no longer look like a teardrop site anymore. This is just the Clark file we're filing. I expect that within about three months, we will receive the final legislation for the conclusion of that vacation and make it final, at which point we expect the department will go out on the street shortly thereafter with an RFP , and I'll talk about that RFP and a few agenda items. Very good. Any further questions? Those in favor of. Placing the clerk file on file. Please vote i. I those opposed. I have an clerk file. Oh, those are conditions. Okay. So those in favor of granting the petition as conditions, please vote. I i those opposed vote no.
