[Jeff at bellanddavispllc.com]

If county will not approve the BLA, can the parties choose to do a boundary
line agreement under RCW 58.04.007?

Subject: [WSBARP] Looking for creative solution to BLA

 

Listmates.    Client has a large property that he wants to give neighbors a
Boundary Line Adjustment.  Everyone is in agreement, except the County.   A
County road separates the client’s property from the neighbors.   County
says the property must be “adjoining “ to qualify for a BLA and the road
prevents them from being adjoining.   Rather odd since the County grants lot
status on plats with ½ the lot on either side of the dedicated road.
County says that they can’t approve the BLA but can recognize a court order
if we have one.   The parties are all happy to enter and agreed order.   My
problem is that I can’t think of any cause of action under which to bring an
action.  There is no controversy, no legal right to property to decide, we
are just trying to end run irrational language in a county code.     Anyone
have a creative cause of action that I can ethically place before a judge
for an agreed order?
