RESOLUTION NO.13~
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MARYSVILLE MODIFYING ITS
MORATORIUM ON RUSA VARIANCES.
WHEREAS,on September 22,1986 the City Council passed
Resolution No.1228 imposing a temporary moratorium on RUSA
variances,and said moratorium has been extended by Resolution
numbers 1243,1265, 1290,1324 and 1335;and
WHEREAS,on November 14,1988 the City Council held a public
meeting on the question of continuing the status of said morator-
ium,and based upon the testimony and exhibits presented at said
meeting it entered the following Findings of Fact:
1.On October 19,1988 the Snohomish County Council passed
Motion *88-208 declaring North Snohomish County a Critical Water
Supply service Area and initiating a three-year study of regional
utility needs pursuant to RCW 70.116;and
2.The City Council has initiated a study on expanding the
RUSA boundaries and has prepared a tentative map of new boun-
daries which must now be processed through an environmental
review procedure and public hearings before the Planning Commis-
sion and City Council;and
3.Formal adoption of the City's expanded RUSA boundaries
should be coordinated with the County's CWSSA study;and
4.As a participant in the County's CWSSA study the City
will not recommend that its utility service area be extended
beyond the proposed RUSA boun~aries referred to above,leaving
properties outside said boundaries to be served by other public
utili ties;and
5.On November 2,1988 the Everett City Council passed
Resolution 3081 stating its intention to supply water to the City
of Marysville on a wholesale basis in quantities large enough to
serve Marysville's expanded utility service area,including
properties outside said area which are under the jurisdiction of
some other public utility approved by the County's CWSSA study;
and
6.The City's proposed budget for 1989 includes funding of
capital improvements for the City's sewer lagoon which will
increase its capacity to a point where it should be able to serve
all development within the proposed RUSA boundaries through the
year 2000;and
Resolution - 1
•..'..
7.It would be disruptive to the CWSSA study now being
undertaken by Snohomish County,and detrimental to foreseeable
water and sewer capacity of the City's utility system,if
properties outside of the proposed RUSA boundaries were allowed
to apply for speculative variances prior to such time as the
final approval of RUSA boundaries is enacted and incorporated
into this CWSSA study;
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MARYSVILLE,WASHINGTON AS FOLLOWS:
1.The City Council hereby REPEALS its moratorium on RUSA
variances for all properties within the proposed RUSA boundaries
referred to above.Such variances shall be processed,granted
and denied as provided in Section 14.32.060(d)of the Marysville
Municipal Code.
2.The City Council hereby continues its moratorium on
RUSA variances for all properties located outside of the proposed
RUSA boundaries referred to above,except in cases of health
emergencies.Said moratorium shall remain in effect until such
time as Snohomish County's CWSSA study is complete and until
Marysville has formally adopted its new RUSA boundaries.
