Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) This
			 resolution has application to that portion of Meydenbauer Bay on Lake
			 Washington lying southeasterly of a line formed by the extension
			 southwesterly of the southeasterly line of S. E. Bellevue Place,
			 Bellevue, Washington, and the extension northeasterly of the
			 northwesterly line of Lot 39, Shorelands, according to plat recorded
			 in volume 330 of plats at page 8, records of King County,
			 Washington.
(2) That
			 portion of Meydenbauer Bay above described lies within, in front of
			 or within one mile of the corporate limits of the city of Bellevue,
			 Washington, but the commission finds that there presently exists no
			 necessity to reserve any part thereof for landings, wharves, streets
			 and other conveniences of navigation and commerce, and for this
			 reason declines to establish harbor area therein.
(3) The following described line
			 lying within the above described portion of Meydenbauer Bay, to wit:
Commencing at the east quarter section corner of
				Section 31, Township 25 North, Range 5 East, W.M., whose "X"
				coordinate is 1,661,520.58 and whose "Y" coordinate is 225,661.29
				referred to the Washington coordinate system, North Zone, and running
				thence on an azimuth of 78°51'17" a distance of 963.76
				feet to a point whose "X" coordinate is 1,660,575.00 and whose "Y"
				coordinate is 225,475.00 referred to said coordinate system; thence
				on an azimuth of 312°06'17" a distance of 420.00 feet to a
				point hereinafter referred to as Point "A"; thence on an azimuth of
				2°21'10" to an intersection with the southwesterly
				extension of the southeasterly margin of S.E. Bellevue Place, said
				intersection being the true point of beginning of this line
				description.
Thence continuing on an azimuth of
				2°21'10" to a point 167.66 feet distance from said Point
				"A"; thence on an azimuth of 312°06'17" a distance of
				415.00 feet, thence on an azimuth of 37°24'19" a distance
				of 125.00 feet and thence on an azimuth of 127°24'19" to
				an intersection with the northeasterly extension of the northwesterly
				line of Lot 39, Shorelands as recorded in vol. 33 of plats, page 8,
				records of King County, Washington, said point of intersection being
				the terminus of this line description, has been established by the
				superior court for King County in Cause No. 513081, entitled
Grill v. Meydenbauer Bay Yacht Club
, to be the
				boundary line between privately owned shorelands and the publicly
				owned lake bed. The commission confirms, approves, ratifies and
				adopts the line so located and established, or as it may be changed
				and relocated by decree of the supreme court of this state in appeal
				of the above cause, as the line of navigability in said portion of
				Meydenbauer Bay. In the event said supreme court shall decree in said
				appeal that the courts of this state have no jurisdiction to locate
				and establish the line of navigability, then the above described line
				shall be and is hereby adopted as the line of navigability in said
				portion of Meydenbauer Bay.
(4) In the event that the
			 establishment of harbor area within the above described portion of
			 Meydenbauer Bay should become necessary at some time in the future,
			 such harbor area shall be restricted exclusively to lands publicly
			 owned and no part thereof shall be established upon privately owned
			 shorelands.
Resolution No. 1, filed
				  8/16/60.
