SUMMARY OF UNDERGROUND STREET VACATION
FOR THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF SECOND STREET
Between Washington Avenue and Pacific Avenue
BACKGROUND
The Kitsap Federal Credit Union recently purchased the parcel of property at the
corner of Second Street and Washington Avenue to construct a new credit union
office. In order to provide adequate parking for the new building, the credit union
is proposing the construction of an underground parking lot. It is proposed that
the parking lot extend into the underground portion of the second street right of
way.
SUMMARY
Engineering staff, in cooperation with the Legal staff contacted all utility users of
the right-of way to determine the potential impacts of the vacation. There are
telephone, electric and natural gas facilities in the southern portion of Second
Street. In the ordinance, easements were retained to accommodate these
utilities. As a part of the construction some of these utilities will need to be
removed. The utilities can either be placed in the ceiling of the underground
parking or be relocated in the northern portion of Second Street. This is a
decision that will need to be made during the design of the credit union building.
At the conclusion of the construction, Second Street will function as part of the
City street system as it does today. The south half of Second Street will actually
be a structural part of the parking lot. The ordinance states that the street shall
be constructed in accordance with state and national standards to accommodate
the weight of typical traffic.

Engineering Division Staff Report
Vacation of an Area Underneath the South Side of Second Street
City Council/Public Hearing Date:
Report Prepared By:
August 4, 2004
Gunnar Fridriksson, Civil Engineer
SUMMARY
A. Applicant: City of Bremerton
239 Fourth Street
Bremerton, WA 98337
Location:
An area underneath the south side of Second Street, from
Washington Avenue westerly to the alley at mid-block.
B. Attachment: Exhibit Map
BACKGROUND
The City of Bremerton has initiated the vacation of an area underneath the south side of
Second Street, from Washington Avenue westerly to the alley at mid-block. Kitsap
Federal Credit Union (KFCU) has proposed purchasing the abutting property to
construct a new building with an underground parking garage. The design of the new
underground parking garage requires a portion of the structure to be located within the
right-of-way of Second Street. As this subterranean use of Second Street will not impair
use of the surface improvements on Second Street to the traveling public, the City has
initiated this vacation. The proposed vacation location is illustrated on the attached
exhibit.

HEARING CONSIDERATIONS
BMC 11.20.120 sets forth issues that the City Council shall determine following the
Vacation Hearing. These issues and City staff positions are as follows:
1. Whether the street, alley or portion thereof is no longer required for public
use; and vacation of the described portion will better serve the public
good.
City Staff Position:
The surface of the right-of-way is required for local access and use, and will
need to be retained by the City at the full 60 foot width. The City will relinquish
use of an area underneath a portion of Second Street, below approximately 2
feet below existing finish grade at the curb and gutter on the south side of the
street.
2. Whether the vacation is consistent with the City Comprehensive Plan.
City Staff Position:
The proposed vacation does not conflict with the City Comprehensive Plan.
3. Whether the continued use of the proposed vacation as a public way is not
of such public benefit as to justify the costs of maintenance.
City Staff Position:
Loss of the subterranean use of Second Street will not increase or decrease the
City's maintenance responsibility in this area.
4. Whether substitution of a new and different thoroughfare would be more
useful to the public.
City Staff Position:
The roadway and its use shall remain and be unhindered by the loss of the area
underneath Second Street. No other thoroughfare would improve circulation in
this area.
5. Whether conditions may so change in the future as to provide a greater
public use or need than presently exists.
City Staff Position:
No future use of this portion of the area underneath Second St. is anticipated.
6. Whether objections to the proposed vacation are made by owners of
private property (exclusive of petitioners) abutting the same.
The abutting property owner is Bremer Trust, who will complete an agreement for
sale of the property to KFCU at the end of July. Both the Bremer Trust and
KFCU support the vacation.

SHORELINE ACCESS
This portion of right-of-way does not provide shoreline access.
UTILITIES
All private utility companies were contacted. Cascade Natural Gas, Puget Sound
Energy, and Qwest will retain an easement. Utility easements will be reserved for the
existing City storm water and sanitary utilities. All easements for existing utilities will be
released upon redevelopment of the property by KFCU and construction of the parking
garage, and arrangements are made for the utility relocations.
SUFFICIENCY OF SIGNATURES
Not Applicable - The City initiated the vacation.
COMPENSATION
The City will receive compensation in the amount of $90,000.00 from KFCU for this
vacation. This is in accordance with an agreement between the City, Kitsap Transit and
KFCU for a "Kiss-n-Ride" drop off area for the Bremerton Transportation Center.
STAFF COMMENTS
The City Fire Department, Attorney, Department of Community Development, Police
Department, and Engineering all support this vacation.
Staff recommends approval of the vacation of an area underneath Second Street with
easements reserved for all existing utilities.
The construction of any underground improvements shall meet current vehicle loading
requirements on the restored roadway, curb, gutter and sidewalk over the vacated area
as required by AASHTO and WSDOT Design Manuals.
