NOW,THEREFORE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE,WASHINGTON,
HEREBY ENTERS THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS OF FACT:
1.The subject property was proposed for a mobile home
park in 1970,and approval of the same was granted by Snohomish County
under Conditional Use Permit No.12-70.At that time City of Marysville
utilities were available.Although the Conditional Use Permit has sub-
sequently been revoked because of the developer's inactivity,extenuat-
ing circumstances justify a finding of vested rights to City utility
services.
2. The subject property is abutted to the east by a mobile
home park with comparable density.Said mobile home park is connected
to City utilities.
Resolution -1
3.Development of the subject property in phases would
lessen the immediate impact on the City's sewer facilities.
4.Development of the subject property as a mobile home
park would be impossible without the availability of City sewers.
5.Literal enforcement of the City's Comprehensive Plan
would cause a practical difficulty and an unnecessary hardship to
the owner of the subject property,and would deny said owner the
beneficial use of the property.
6.
Comprehensive
erally shared
The circumstances justifying a variance to the City's
Plan are unique to the subject property and not gen-
by other properties in the vicinity.
7. The granting of a variance in this case would not be
detrimental to the public interest,welfare or the environment,and
'would not be inconsistent with the long-range plans of the Marysville
utility system.
