Department of Public Works 61150 S.E. 27th St., Bend, OR 97702 (541) 388-6581 • FAX (541) 388-2719 MEMORANDUM TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: Tom Blust, County Engineer DATE: October 23, 1996 SUBJECT: Engineer's Report Vacation of Bartlemay Lane This report is made pursuant to ORS 368.326 through 368.366, concerning the vacation of public road right-of-way. Background: Deschutes County received a petition (attached as "Exhibit I") from the abutting property owners, requesting the vacation of a public road right-of-way being a portion of Bartlemay Lane. The legal description of the portion of Bartlemay Lane to be vacated is attached as "Exhibit 2". The petition received by the County meets the requirements of ORS 368.341 relating to the initiation of vacation proceedings by the owner(s) of property abutting public property. The portion of Bartlemay Lane proposed to be vacated is abutted by four (4) parcels of land in separate ownership. The petition contains the acknowledged signatures of three of the four abutting property owners. The fourth abutting parcel is owned by Deschutes County. The reasons for requesting this vacation, as stated by the petitioners are: 1) The right-of-way appears to have been created to provide access to a piece of County owned land that would otherwise be landlocked. Access to the County's land does not require a public right-of-way along private property over the entire north boundary of the County's property. 2) The right-of-way creates a potential adverse impact on adjacent property owners, with no benefit to the County. 3) Neither the State, nor the County Property Manager objects to the proposed vacation. Discussion: The Department of Public Works mailed preliminary notices of the proposed vacation to the affected utilities and agencies. Their responses are as follows: Cloverdale Fire Department: No response Quality Services Performed with Pride Engineer's Report Page 2 Bend Cable Communications: No response U.S. West Communications: No response Central Electric Cooperative: No response. Deschutes County Community Development: Planning (Kevin Harrison) - Road right-of-way does not show up on Assessor's map. Removal of right-of-way limits ability to divide tax lot. Deschutes County Property Management: (5-15-96 memo from Brad Chalfant) - You will recall that we previously discussed a requested vacation of right of way along the south line of tax lot #304. This right of way provides access to the County property identified as 151012-00-00600. My concerns had been two fold. You may recall that my primary concern related to adequate access to the County owned real property. While I have not inspected this right of way or the County property (access road is not built), the map would indicate that the County property will be adequately served as long as any vacation is limited to the right of way across tax lot #304. My second concern dealt with the policy implication of vacating a right of way that could serve as access to multiple properties, and eliminate several access points onto the highway. However, based upon our conversation, ODOT does not seem to have much interest in limiting direct access to the highway. Mike Mansker showed me a copy of the land use decision. If in fact, neither ODOT nor CDD have any objections to the proposed vacation, then I would see no reason to build this road across tax lot #304. (10-2-96 response to preliminary notice) - Property Management has no objection to the requested vacation so long as access is maintained to the County owned real property to the south (15-10-12-00-00600). Oregon Department of Transportation: T.L. 304 and 400 have permitted access points to state highway with no reason to cancel. T.L. 300 and 302 can access state highway from easement existing and in use along T.L. easterly property lines. ODOT has no comment on proposed vacation as there will be no impact on state highway system. Findings Based on preliminary responses, and the Department's research of the proposed vacation, the Engineer makes the following findings: 1. The right-of-way proposed for vacation was dedicated to the public for road purposes on the original plat of Major Partition No. 77-1, signed by the Board of County Commissioners on September 27, 1977. As noted by the Community Development Department, the current tax assessors map is in error and does not show this right of way. Also, it should be noted that the 60 foot wide strip of land connecting Bartlemay Lane to Hwy. 126 is shown as a tax lot (T.L. 300) when in fact it is a dedicated public road right of way. Engineer's Report Page 3 o1�s-CO�:1 2. There are no improvements within the proposed vacation. It appears that this right of way has never been used for roadway purposes. 3. All of the properties abutting the proposed vacation are zoned EFU and also fall within a SMIA zone (see attached Exhibit "Y). 4. This right-of-way does provide access to public land. Deschutes County is currently in ownership of tax lot 600, which abuts to the south of the proposed vacation. This parcel will still retain legal access to Bartlemay Lane since the proposal would only vacate a portion of the frontage. 5. There is no evidence of any utility facility lying within the proposed vacation. 6. This right-of-way does not provide access to any parcels other than the abutting property. This vacation would eliminate a potential access to tax lot 400. Tax lot 400 does have a legal access on Hwy. 126 per ODOT. The owners of tax lot 400 are in agreement with the proposed vacation and have signed the petition. It would appear that any future development of tax lot 400 could be accommodated with their current access to Hwy. 126. Access to tax lot 304 would still be possible from the end of Bartlemay Lane. Tax lot 304 also has a legal access on Hwy. 126 per ODOT. 7. Per ORS 368.366, the vacated property shall vest in the rightful owner holding title according to law. Since the original 30 foot wide dedication came entirely from tax lot 304, the entire parcel, if vacated shall revert to tax lot 304. Recommendation: It is the Engineer's assessment that the proposed vacation is in the public interest. The vacation of this right-of-way will allow for better use of this parcel of land since it is not needed for public road purposes and will return the land to the tax rolls. It is also the Engineer's assessment that the proposed vacation does not affect any utilities and is not needed for any future utility facilities. The Engineer recommends that the right-of-way be vacated without a reservation for utility easements. If vacated, the property shall vest with the owner property with underlying title (tax lot 304) in accordance with ORS 368.366. EXHIBIT 1 01TS—C IC,, P.O. Box 1376 Sisters, OR 97759 July 20, 1996 Department of Public Works Attn: Tom Blust 61150 S.E. 27th Street Bend, OR 97702 Mr. Blust: We, the owners of property adjacent to a public right of way as described below, wish to have the west approximately 660 feet of said public right of way abon?oned, such that said right of way will end at the east boundary line of tax lot 304 of tax map 151012. Subject right of way is now described as "a lane 30 feet in width along the south edge of the W1/2,NW1/4,NE1/4 and along the south edge of the NE 1/4, NW 1/4 of section 12, 1155, R10E,WM, and known as Bartlemay Lane". The reasons for requesting this vacation are as follows: 1) The right of way appears to have been created to provide access to a piece of County owned land that would otherwise be landlocked. Access to the County's land does not require a public right of way along private property over the entire north boundary of the County's property. 2) The right of way creates a potential adverse impact on adjacent property owners, with no benefit to the County. 3) Neither the State, nor the County Property Manager objects to the proposed vacation (see attached correspondence). There are no improvements on the subject right of way. The names of persons holding recorded interest in adjacent private property are attach6d, as provided by the Department of Public Works.
