Summary

City Staff and private property owners have been working for several years to develop and put in place solutions to challenges presented by the development of combined residential and commercial property served by and including NW 167 Blvd. and NW 163 Lane. Steps taken to date have provided for and resulted in a burst of residential and commercial development leading to the need to incorporate NW 167th Blvd and NW 163 Lane,  related right of way and easements for public utilities as a part of the City public transportation and utility infrastructure.

 

The owners (Grantor) of the property and improvements and necessary easement areas have petitioned the City to Accept the dedication (by deed) of 167 Blvd. and 167 Lane along with all necessary easements required to effectively transfer to City all property rights required to meet the needs of the public now and in perpetuity. The attached and presented Agreement includes all details and protections of the public interests including the fact that all costs associated with the dedications and grants of property rights to the City are paid by the Grantor. The City is further protected by $680,691.50 in title insurance, provided and paid for by the Grantor, to insure the property rights transferred.
