A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF MARYSV1LLE GRANTING UTILITY
VARIANCES FOR WATER WITHOUT SEWER AND WAIVING EXTENSION
OF THE WATER UTILITY ALONG THE FRONTAGE OF THE SUBJECT
PROPERTY FOR ARLINGTON CHRISTIAN SCHOOL FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 2425 - 200TH N.E.,ARLINGTON,WASHINGTON.
WHEREAS,on May 19,1993 the Arlington Christian School
applied for a utility variance for a water connection without
sewer connection for property located at 2425 -200th N.E.,
Arlington,Washington;and
WHEREAS,the Arlington Christian School,by letter dated May
5,1993,requested a waiver of the requirement to extend the
water line across the total frontage of the sUbject property;and
WHEREAS,on June 28,1993 the city Council of the city of
Marysville held a pUblic meeting concerning the variance
application and made the following findings:
1.The applicant's property is outside of the City's Rural
utility Service Area and is within the Arlington Service Area per
the North Snohomish County Coordinated Water System Plan.
2.The applicant submitted a letter from the City of
Arlington Public Works Department stating that the city of
Arlington is unable to provide service to the site at this time.
Said letter is incorporated herein by this reference.
3.The applicant has also submitted a letter from the
Tulalip Tribes which also states they are unable to provide
service to the site.Said letter is incorporated herein by this
reference.
4.Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions apply to the subject property or to the intended use
thereof that do not apply generally to other properties in the
same vicinity because of the fact that the applicant is a private
school facility.Locations for such school sites are scarce as
evidenced by the testimony of the applicant who researched in
excess of 40 sites to find a location suitable for its intended
purposes.There was also testimony concerning the fact that
private school facilities provide relief for the pUblic school
system.
5.The variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant
possessed by owners of other properties in the same vicinity
insofar as the ap~licant has an approved conditional use from
RESOLUTION - 1

-s-,
Snohomish County for a school facility and must show evidence of
an adequate public water supply to utilize the site as a school
facility.
6.The authorization of the variance will not be
materially detrimental to the public interest,welfare or the
environment as the applicant has shown that the ground water well
on the existing site cannot meet the stringent water source
requirements for school facilities.
7.The granting of the variance will not be inconsistent
with the long-range plans of the city utility system or
jeopardize utility availability for properties within the city
limits as there are other customers already connected to the
Petunia water line.Additionally,the anticipated enrollment of
the school facility is approximately 40 students,and as such the
consumption is moderate and will not jeopardize availability of
water supply for properties within the city limits.
8.There would be a substantial cost in crossing
Interstate 5 to reach the subject property with Marysville water.
Such extreme cost justifies relief from the extension of the
water line across the frontage of the subject property.
9.As it is not presently the intent of the city to have
this line serve other properties within the area of the school
property,the extension of the line across the frontage of the
subject property is not warranted.
NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MARYSVILLE,WASHINGTON AS FOLLOWS:
The variance for the applicant's connection to city water
without city sewer and for wavier of the requirement that the
water line be extended across the frontage of the applicant's
property is hereby granted.
Any party aggrieved by this resolution shall have the right
to file an application for a writ of certiorari in Snohomish
County superior Court;PROVIDED,that the application must be
filed and served within 20 days of the date of this resolution.
PASSED by the City Council and APPROVED by the Mayor this
I d:day of July,1993.
