II/
Mark Hinthorne, Yakima County Assistant Planning Director, reviewed the
County's proposal for resolution of Issues, 1, 2 and 3, as follows:
ISSUE THREE: Whether Annexation Policies Should Be Included In The
Yakima Urban Area Plan
County Proposal - Include pages 1 and 2 of the City's annexation policy
and a summary of the annexation process as an appendix to the Urban Area
Plan. Mayor Hodkinson inquired if this would be done for each city and
Commissioner Klarich stated that it would be done for Union Gap also.
ISSUE TWO: Whether Already Developed Areas, Where Potential Health
Hazards From Well Contamination Exist, Must Annex Immediately For
Sewer Service From The City
County Proposal - Include an additional statement in Section Ten of the
Wastewater Agreement, as follows: "Annexation of areas developed to
urban density but not to urban standards shall be delayed for a period
of at least five years after the provision of sewer service by the
City." Council member Carmichael questioned when it would be considered
that the resident is receiving sewer service - when the resident has the
sewer line available or when everybody is hooked up? Mt. Hinthorne then
added that the County would like a policy statement regarding the City's
Capital Cost Recovery Charge included in the Urban Area Plan, on page UT
11. (Council member Beauchamp present after 11:40 A.M.)
ISSUE ONE: Whether New Developments Receiving Sewer Service Fran The
City Should Annex For That Service
County Proposal - Any new developments receiving sewer service should
annex to the City. An addition to page 10, Section 3 of the Wastewater
Agreement should be made, as follows:" (The Joint Board) shall furnish
a statement of taxes and assessments to any property owner who requests
a sewer service from the City, indicates a desire to form a sewer LID
inside the urban boundary, or has signed an Outside Utility Agreement
and is requested .. the City to annex, that shows the property owner the
comparative cost and other factors associated with annexing to the City
versus remaining in the unincorporated area." Discussion followed and
Mayor Hodkinson indicated that it appears that if an individual lives in
the County and wants sewer service, he must sign an Outside Utility
Agreement with the City of Yakima. Commissioner Klarich stated that
there should be a paragraph for Union Gap and for the City of Yakima in
Section 4. Commissioner Tollefson stated that this document needs to be
revised to include Union Gap. Mayor Edmondson stated that Council would
like to meet with City staff to review this proposal.
The meeting adjourned at the hour of 11:55 A.M. The next meeting will
be Tuesday, August 18, 1981 at 4 1 A.M. at the County Courthouse.
