City Attorney Archer said there is no conflict of interest and no one voiced any objections.
Mayor Putaansuu opened the public hearing at 6:43 p.m.
Don Ryan said this vacation would add about 850 square feet to the overall square footage of his
property. He has a concerned tenant who is asking how much this would raise property taxes.
Dave Weibel who represents petitioners William and Virginia Anderson, provided background on
Mystery Lane and the vacation request. This plat was incorporated in 1891 before the City of Port
Orchard existed. Sometime after the 1940's, this was not developed in accordance with the plat
boundary lines. It appears the homes are crossing boundary lines. He also spoke about a lawsuit filed
in 2020 about the property lines not being accurate. This is what brought in the Andersons. They
have been trying to work with the neighbors to solve this issue.
He further explained as part of the larger boundary line process, a necessary step is to vacate the
rights -of -way so each property owner would have clear ownership of the property. He thinks this
request is warranted and received a lot of support from the neighbors. He asked for the
compensation to be waived by the City as this problem goes way back and the City has a role in it.
He spoke to survey monuments being removed.
Fred Kegel was hired to survey this area and spoke to survey control monuments, sanitary sewer
lines wiping out the monuments, short plat, City approval of short plat and vacation that is in error,
monuments found on Sroufe Street, and City waiving the compensation costs for the landowners.
There being no more testimony, Mayor Putaansuu closed the public hearing at 6:59 p.m.
7. EXECUTIVE SESSION
At 7:00 p.m., Mayor Putaansuu recessed the meeting for a 15-minute executive session pursuant to
RCW 42.30.110.(1)(i) regarding legal risk of a proposed action when public discussion could have
adverse legal or financial consequences. Public Works Director Lang, City Clerk Wallace, and City
Attorney were invited to attend, and City Attorney Archer announced action will follow.
8. BUSINESS ITEMS
A. Adoption of an Ordinance Approving the Petition to Vacate City Right -of -Way, an Alley
