RESOLUTION NO. 3719 A RESOLUTION of the Port Commission of the Port of Seattle declaring surplus and no longer needed for Port District purposes a parcel of Port-owned real property located in Seattle, Washington, consisting of approximately 5,743 square feet of unimproved land that has its western edge submerged in the Duwamish West Waterway, its northern edge abutting Klickitat Avenue SW right-of-way, and its southern edge abutting the BNSF Railroad right-ofway ("Parcel No. 7666703100"); amending the Port's Comprehensive Scheme to delete Parcel No. 7666703100 from Unit 20 of the Port's Comprehensive Scheme; and authorizing its sale to Bluefield Holdings Inc. WHEREAS, the voters of King County, pursuant to the provisions of enabling legislation adopted by the Legislature of the State of Washington, Chapter 92, Laws of 1911, RCW 53.04.010, authorized and approved at a special election held in King County on the 5th day of September 1911, the formation of a Port District coextensive with King County to be known as the Port of Seattle; and WHEREAS, the Port of Seattle was thereupon established as a port district and has since been and now is a duly authorized and acting port district of the State of Washington and operator of Seattle-Tacoma International Airport ("Airport"); and WHEREAS, the Port owns the real property described on attached Exhibit A (the "Property" or "Parcel # 7666703100"); and WHEREAS, the Property, also referred to as Parcel #7666703100, is a 5,743 square-foot triangular-shaped parcel of unimproved land that is approximately seventy percent submerged, lies at the boundary between the Lower Duwamish Waterway, the West Waterway and Harbor Island but is disconnected from access to Terminal 102; and WHEREAS, when the Port district established the Lower Duwamish Industrial Development District, Number Two and acquired Block 409 Tideland, Lots 1 through 15 in 1966, the acquisition included the Property which lies in Lots 1 through 6 of Block 409 Tideland. Because portions of Lots 4, 5, and 6 were deeded to the Northern Pacific Railway Company for right-of-way to accommodate a bascule bridge, the Property was severed from access to the rest of the land that was later developed into Terminal 102 and Terminal 104 and thus was never developed; and WHEREAS, the upland portion of the Property is level and protected by shoreline armoring and the western edge of the Property is submerged in the West Waterway; and WHEREAS, the southern edge of the Property abuts right-of-way owned by Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad (successor to Northern Pacific Railway Company) which connects Harbor Island to the industrial area businesses along West Marginal Way via the bascule bridge; and WHEREAS, the bascule bridge to the south of the Property restricts opportunity for moorage due to height limitations and need to protect bridge use; and WHEREAS, Klickitat Avenue SW right-of-way abuts the northern edge of the Property; and WHEREAS, the Property's 1,700 square foot of dry land area is isolated by right-of-way and the West Waterway; and WHEREAS, the Property is subject to the terms and conditions of the "Notice of Consent Decree and Right of Access" recorded August 21, 1996. The Property lies within the boundary of the Harbor Island Superfund Site, but no cleanup action has been required in the area of the Property; and 2 WHEREAS, according to an appraisal of the Property, the highest and best use would likely be storage, water access, or fish/wildlife habitat mitigation, all of which would require combining the Property with adjacent properties to achieve viable scale; and WHEREAS, the Property's limited size, limited shoreline access, lack of connection to Terminal 102 and distance to Terminal 18 makes it less than useful to those terminals; and WHEREAS, Terminal 102 lies within Unit 20 Lower Duwamish Industrial Development District of the Port's Comprehensive Scheme; and WHEREAS, the Port's 2009 Lower Duwamish River Habitat Restoration Plan does not identify this Property for potential as a Port-constructed habitat restoration or enhancement site; and WHEREAS, the City of Seattle, as owner of Parcel number 766703000, the parcel to the north of the Property, has leased that parcel to Bluefield Holdings, Inc. to build a habitat restoration project on the site and establish "credits" that can be sold to entities that need to resolve Natural Resource Damage liability related to the Lower Duwamish Superfund site; and WHEREAS, Bluefield Holdings, Inc. is interested in acquiring the adjacent Parcel #7666703100 ("Property") as part of its habitat restoration project because it would provide an improved configuration for water access; and WHEREAS, the Port has negotiated an agreement to sell the Property to Bluefield Holdings, Inc.; and 3 WHEREAS, a resolution declaring the Property surplus and deleting the Property from Unit 20 of the Port's Comprehensive Scheme is a prerequisite to sale of the Property; and WHEREAS, the Port of Seattle Commission has heard from all persons desiring to speak at said public hearing with regard to the proposed surplus of the Property and deletion from Unit 20 of the Comprehensive Scheme; and WHEREAS, the members of the Port of Seattle Commission have discussed and considered the proposed surplus of the Property in light of all comments by members of the public at the public hearing; and NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Port Commission of the Port of Seattle that: Section 1. The Property described on Exhibit A attached to this Resolution and which is part of Unit 20 of the Port's Comprehensive Scheme is hereby declared surplus to Port of Seattle needs and no longer needed for Port purposes and deleted from Unit 20 of the Comprehensive Scheme.
