an interim policy for new sewer connections outside
of the City limits.
WHEREAS,by letter dated March 26,1979 the City Engineer
advised the City Council that the unprecedented and unantiCipated
surge in population growth in the greater Marysville area has
caused a demand on Marysville's sewage treatment lagoon which had
not been planned for,and the capacity of the same will be exceeded
within the next two years unless a capital improvement program is
immediately implemented and unless a growth management policy for
the City and its sewer utility is immediately adopted;and
WHEREAS,the City Planning Commission has commenced the
process of expanding and revising the City's Comprehensive Plan
with respect to areas located outside of the City limits,so as to
make the same relevant to rapidly ,changing land use pressures,and
the capacity limitations of Marysville's sewage treatment lagoon;
and '
WHEREAS,it is deemed to be in the public interest to await
the completion of said Comprehensive Plan before adopting any
permanent administrative policy for sewer connections in areas
outside of the City limits;and
WHEREAS,the relationship between the Comprehensive Plan
and sewer utility planning is recognized in Section 14.14.050 of the
Marysville Municipal Code,and is further emphasized by the annexation
policy adopted in Section 14.04.152 of the said Code;and
