Proposed King County policy change could impact plans for fifth elementary in ...

Someday when all the pieces fall into place the Tahoma School District officials would like to build a fifth elementary school.

A proposed policy change by King County, however, may further delay or possibly derail those plans.

Tahoma’s fifth elementary school site is on the 80 acre property it purchased years ago which the junior high now calls home. The potential problem is the fact the property is outside of the urban growth boundary which was established in 1991 as part of the Growth Management Act.

Current policy, explained county planning staff, allows for school structures to be built and that in rural areas sewer service isn’t allowed unless is installed to solve a health issue for an existing structure or for the needs of a public school.

Paul Reitenbach, comprehensive plan project manager for the county, explained in an email interview that current code requires that middle and high schools built in rural areas to have conditional use permits.

“At issue is whether sewers should continue to be allowed to be extended to serve public schools in the rural area,” Reitenbach wrote. “Currently, the King County Code and Comprehensive Plan do not allow sewer extensions into the rural area except to serve failed septic tanks for existing structures, short subdivisions when there is no timely and reasonable alternative, and public schools when alternative methods of waste disposal are not cost-feasible.”

School sites in rural areas near the urban growth boundary are cheaper to hook up to sewer lines, Reitenbach wrote, than to install a large septic system on site. Because this is currently allowed under county policies, public schools in rural areas have been hooking up to sewer lines.

“Our issue is that availability of sewers to school districts that serve both rural and urban areas has allowed the school districts to purchase rural tracts of land, that if hooked up to a sewer, could support large schools serving urban students as well as rural students,” Reitenbach said. “We know that there are at least 19 more school district sites in the rural area that can always be developed with schools, but whether they will be mega-schools serving large numbers of urban students or schools sized to serve the rural area on septic systems is the issue.”

Kevin Patterson, spokesman for the Tahoma School District, said the district purchased its property as part of a trade off for the Maple Woods development at the sound end of the city of Maple Valley and as part of that trade.
