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 Imsvl/school.res -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. CITY OF MARYSVILLE MAYOR RESOLUTION - 2 Imsvl/school.res .,;:.........~..::.\..~-...".
