compensation unless waived by City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City may waive the requirements for a survey pursuant to PMC Section
12.40.110 if the location and legal description of the street or alley proposed for vacation is
sufficiently known to the City such that an accurate legal description can be determined with
certainty without a survey; and

description is capable of being produced without the need for a survey; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to PMC Section 12.40.120(2), compensation for vacated rights-of-
way, an appraisal and title report may be waived if one or more of the following are applicable:

of-way to be vacated was previously determined by Council not to be essential to public traffic
circulation and is available for vacation; the grant of a substitute right-of-way has value as a right-
of-way at least equal to the right-of-way to be vacated; or the resulting benefit to the community
of the project requiring vacation outweighs the appraised value of the right-of-way to be vacated;

whether to waive the requirements of a title report, appraisal of value, and compensation pursuant
to PMC 12.40.120(2) after holding a public hearing; and
