[WSBARP] Road Vacation

[Steve Tubbs]

Will the 10' area, if unencumbered, increase the property value?  If so,
then approach the County, explaining that their 10' easement, unused and
perhaps unusable, depreciates the property, thus lowering its taxable
value, and that your client is willing to pay for a deed that relinquishes
the easement.  I am assuming that the deed will vest the entirety of the
10' in your client.  Who to approach depends on familiarity with KC
bureaucracy, of which I have none.  Of course, this invites a
re-assessment, but ???  Good luck!  ST

Listmates:
 
I have a client who has a pesky neighbor.  PN has 30’ easement for access
to their property.  It also appears that King County has a 40’ right of
way which may exist but 30’ of which KingCo has already lost rights to as
a result of a quiet title action in the mid-1990’s, thus the easement.
They appear to be in the same place with a 10’ overlap.
 
PN refuses to sign off on a petition to vacate the 10’ as PN is a PN.
KingCo has not opened the 10’ nor does it maintain it.  Additional 10’ is
not necessary for access to PN’s property.
 
Any thoughts on how to dispense with the 10’ and thus dispense with PN?
 
Thanks.
