body
DEPARTMENT: Planning and Development Services
ORIGINATOR: Eileen Canola
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approve - Ken Klein 1/31/22
PURPOSE: To review and take action on the proposed Hisey sewer annexation by the Lake Stevens Sewer District.
BACKGROUND: The Lake Stevens Sewer District’s (District) proposed Hisey Annexation of approximately 17.73 acres that is contiguous to the existing District’s service boundaries as well as within the District’s planning area and within the City of Lake Stevens (City) corporate boundaries. The general location of the proposed annexation area is directly south of Machias Cutoff Rd, west of 123rd Ave SE, and north of 20th St SE. There are no other sewer providers in the City or the Lake Stevens Urban Growth Area (UGA), the City is not a sewer service provider, therefore, the District is the logical sewer service provider for this area. This area proposed for annexation by the Lake Stevens Sewer District was recently annexed into the City of Lake Stevens with the Southeast Interlocal Annexation effective August 9, 2021. However, as mentioned the City is not a sewer service provider. As part of an agreement for the Southeast Interlocal Annexation titled, “Interlocal Agreement between the City of Lake Stevens, Snohomish County, and the Lake Stevens Sewer District Concerning the Southeast Interlocal Annexation and the Orderly Transition of Services Pursuant to RCW 35A.14.296”, the City agreed to maintain a residential minimum net density of 4 dwelling units per acre and the District proposed future areas for annexation into its service district boundaries that include the area proposed in this Hisey Annexation. County staff reviewed this sewer district annexation according to section 2.77.040 of the Snohomish County Code (SCC) and RCW 57.02.040. The review criteria in SCC 2.77.040 includes the factors and objectives considered by the Boundary Review Board (BRB), consistency with the Growth Management Act (GMA), Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs), the County’s comprehensive plan, as well as impacts to County’s services and facilities. RCW 57.02.040(3) lists review requirement of the county legislative for sewer district actions, including annexations. Based on County review, PDS concludes that the Hisey Annexation proposal by the Lake Stevens Sewer District is consistent with the applicable statutory provisions governing special district annexations. This conclusion has been reached by comprehensively reviewing the proposed annexation against the requirements of RCW 57.02.040 for water and sewer annexations, the applicable BRB factors and objectives, County codes, and other applicable statutes per SCC 2.77.040. The recommendation to the County Council from PDS is to not invoke the jurisdiction of the BRB and approve the Hisey Annexation as proposed by the Lake Stevens Sewer District.
