A RESOLUTION of the City Council
of the City of Kent, Washington, re-
garding furnishing of utilities services
outside the corporate limits of the City.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Kent, Wash-
ington, has determined that it would be advisable to have a
written policy governing the furnishing of sewer and water
services outside its corporate limits, and
WHEREAS, there are three (3) general categories of
requests for utility services outside the City, to-wit:
and,
1. Utility lines available and service has
been previously committed,
2. Utility lines available and service has
not been previously committed,
3. Utility lines not available without
extension,
WHEREAS, a specific procedure for handling requests in
each of the three categories needs to be established to eliminate
confusion and to provide direction and guidance to City Staff and
to applicants for services, NOW, THEREFORE
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON, DO
HEREBY RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
1. The following procedures are hereby established for
processing applications for utility services outside the corporate
limits of the City of Kent;
a. In areas where utility lines are available and
service has been previously committed prior to the
effective date of this Resolution, the service may
be provided upon proper application without specific
City Council action.
-1-
b. In areas where utility lines are available and
service has not been committed prior to the
effective date of this Resolution, the determi-
nation as to whether to provide service shall
depend upon the capacity of the utilities systems
to serve the area, and the feasibility of annexa-
tion of the area to the City. If the systems have
the capacity and annexation is feasible, then
service may be provided only after the area is
annexed to the City. If the systems have the
capacity to serve the area and annexation is not
feasible, then in that event only those locations
upon which structures exist or for which building
permits have been issued as of the effective date
of this Resolution may be served. Any new con-
struction will not be served unless the area is
annexed.
c. In areas where utilities lines are not available,
no consideration will be given to any requests
for utility services until after the person
requesting the service has applied to the King
County Boundary Review Board and has received
approval for the extension. Following said
Board approval, the City Council or the appro-
priate committee thereof may consider the request.
In the case of properties abutting or in close
proximity to the City limits, the general rule
shall be that annexation to the City shall be
required prior to the furnishing of services.
For areas more remote from the City, the City
Council shall determine when annexation shall be
required before service may be provided.
PASSED at a Regular Meeting of the Kent City Council
this 5th day of August, 1974.
