§ 20.20.020. Establishment of new grade—Survey by Seattle Department of Transportation.

Whenever the City shall establish or shall have established the grade of any street or streets, alley or alleys, at a higher elevation than any private property abutting thereon, thereby rendering the drainage of such private property or any part thereof impracticable without the raising of the surface of such private property, or whenever the surface of any private property in the City shall be so low as to make sanitary drainage thereof impracticable, the City Council may determine by resolution that a fill of such private property is necessary as a sanitary measure. The Council shall in such resolution direct the Seattle Department of Transportation to make the necessary surveys of the district proposed to be improved and the necessary plans and specifications for such improvement, and to submit, within 20 days after the first publication of such resolution, a report to the City Council to be filed with the City Clerk giving a description of the property proposed to be improved by such fill, the grade to which it is necessary to fill the same and the estimated cost thereof.
