With the impending move to an all new fire station now under construction at 7700 35th Avenue S.W. the Seattle Fire Department is seeking input on what to do with the historic station at 7302 35th Avenue S.W. They are starting the disposition process by contacting residents and property owners within 1000 feet of the former station, interested parties and community groups to ask for citizen input before presenting a recommendation to the Seattle City Council regarding the property's disposition.

This isn't the last chance to say something, other opportunities will be presented.

That station, designated as an historic landmark in January of 2005, will be available in the fourth quarter of 2010, but there are restrictions regarding the site and how the building can be altered. These are covered by Seattle City Ordinance No. 122466.

It was valued at $294, 800 in the 2010 survey by the King County Assessor, is 5, 360 square feet, and sits on a lot of 9, 464 square feet in size.

It's in a single family zoned area.

There are reports on file about the property, specifically a 1995 Seismic Report, an Asbestos Test from 2000, one about the boiler conversion to natural gas in 2004, a gas tank test from 1989, and an underground storage tank test done in 2000.

The Seattle Fire Department invites your comments, suggestions and recommendations by August 13, 2010.
You can contact them by writing or via FAX by addressing it to Fleets and Facilities Department, Attn: Louis Webster, P.O, Box 94689, Seattle WA 98124-4869; FAX number (206) 684-0525.
You can reach Louis by phone at (206) 684-0357, or reach him via email at Lous.Webster@seattle.gov

Any comments made become part of the public record for the disposition of this property.
