WHEREAS,on February 26,1990 the City of Marysville enacted Ordinance 1763 imposing a temporary ban on new sewer connections to the city's sewer system as a result of a capacity crisis;and WHEREAS,Section 5 of Ordinance 1763 provides for variances from the ban in certain unique cases;and WHEREAS,Centex Homes,Inc.applied for a variance for 79 connections in the Preliminary Plat of Parkview Estates and a public hearing on said application was held by the city Council on May 14,1990;and WHEREAS,the city Council entered the following findings of fact: 1.The former owner of Parkview Estates,Hillis Homes, Inc.,participated in ULID No.7 which constructed sanitary sewer mains along the frontage of the Preliminary Plat on 64th Street N.E.,and along the proposed alignment of an internal street near the eastern boundary of the Preliminary Plat. 2.As a result of ULID No.7,the Preliminary Plat has 52 vested sewer connections under Ordinance 1763.These connections are located along the sewer mains described in paragraph 1 above. 3.Centex offers to divest the 52 connections referred to in paragraph 2 above,and to replace the same with 52 new connections in Division I which is located in the southwestern corner of the Preliminary Plat. 4.

A sewer trunk line was constructed within said Division years ago and received approval from the Department of 5.The Preliminary Plat is a Planned Residential Develop- ment.All of its divisions will be developed under the single ownership of Centex. 6.The transfer of vested sewer connections from one division of a project to another division of the same project, all under single ownership,does not create any net impact on the city's waste water treatment facility;moreover,it does not create a negative precedent whereby vested sewer connections Resolution - 1 ~------------------------------------------ might become a commodity which could be bought or sold in the marketplace between competing developers. 7.It is in the public interest to have the western division of the Preliminary Plat developed first,if possible. This will result in early construction of the proposed storm drainage system and dedication of the proposed Allen Creek Park. Such improvements should be completed before other divisions of Parkview Estates are developed. 8.A hardship exists in this case which was not self- generated.The alignment of the sewer main constructed by ULID No. 7 over a decade ago was not under the control of the owner of the Preliminary Plat and was not coordinated with the schedule of plat development which is now in the pUblic interest.

This variance shall become void if the construction of the sewer main and sewer connections referred to above are not completed within six (6)months of the date of this resolution.
