034-07 - Resolution - Provision of Sanitary Sewer Service with City's UGARESOLUTION NO. 034-07
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON,
CONCERNING THE PROVISION OF SANITARY SEWER SERVICE
WITHIN PORT ORCHARD'S EXPANDED URBAN GROWTH AREA
WHEREAS, in 2006, Kitsap County adopted a ten year update to its
comprehensive land use plan; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to the State Growth Management Act, Chapter 36.70A
RCW, Kitsap County expanded the Port Orchard_ Urban Growth Area (UGA) through the ten year
update to accommodate population through the year 202S; and
WHEREAS, the County's ten year update was appealed to the Central Puget
Sound Growth Management Hearings Board (CPSGMHB); and
WHEREAS, the CPSGMHB remanded the capital facilities element and plan of
the County's comprehensive plan for, among other reasons, more information regarding public
sewer service within the Port Orchard UGA; and
WHEREAS, the County was instructed to obtain assurances from the relevant
service provider that sanitary sewer service will be adequate and available within the 20-year
planning period; and
WHEREAS, the City of Port Orchard provides sanitary sewer service within
portions of the Port Orchard UGA and can provide such assurances; now, therefore;
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT ORCHARD, WASHINGTON,
HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
1. The City of Port Orchard currently provides sewer service within its corporate
limits, as well as to McCormick Woods, selected areas outside the city limits but within its
existing UGA, and to the Sidney Glen Elementary School located outside the existing UGA but
which service pre-dates the establishment of the City's urban growth boundaries.
2. In 2006, Kitsap County expanded the Port Orchard UGA, as shown in exhibit
A-Port Orchard Zoning Map.
3. The City of Port Orchard indicates that the City has sanitary sewer treatment
plant capacity of 4,200,000 gallons per day (GPD) during the average day of the maximum
month. The treatment plant capacity could serve about 26,000 people. Since the City's
treatment plant currently serves both the City and the Karcher Creek Sewer District, the current
total population it serves is 9,996. Therefore, the City's treatment plant has capacity for serving
additional population in the proposed Port Orchard Expanded UGA.
4. The City of Port Orchard currently has a sanitary sewer collection system,
including 24-inch diameter and smaller sewer mains and pump stations that extend to the Port
Resolution No. 034-07

Orchard Expanded UGA. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a map showing the existing collection
system [Figure 5 of the GMA Compliance-Technical Memorandum].
5. The City has the capacity and will serve the Port Orchard Expanded UGA
upon the area's annexation to the City, which should occur through 2025.
6. Pursuant to Port Orchard Municipal Code 13.04.040, the City may extend its
sewer collection service to property lying within its urban growth area which is not contiguous
to City limits upon request and the execution of a utility extension agreement. The party
seeking the utility extension is responsible for paying the entire cost of the sewer connection,
subject to latecomer reimbursement if applicable.
7. The City's commitment and ability to provide service to the Port Orchard
Expanded UGA is demonstrated through the UGA Sewer Service technical report. Attached
hereto to as Exhibit D is a copy of the report.
8. Since the City generally relies upon developer extension agreements to
finance the extension of sewer collections systems, such extensions are not shown in the City's
capital facilities plan, but rather are added once a binding commitment is finalized. Attached
hereto as Exhibit C is a map showing the conceptual area of additional service to be added
upon requests for developer extension agreements through the year 2020 [Figure 9 from the
GMA Compliance-Technical Memorandum]
9. For the reasons set forth above, the city has both the capacity and the ability
to serve the Port Orchard Expanded UGA with pubic sanitary sewer service by the year 2025.
PASSED by the City Council of the City of Port Orchard, SIGNED by the Mayor and
attested by the Clerk in authentication of such passage this lOth day of December 2007.
