6. - Vancil Rd/Yelm Avenue Zoning Request (ZON8068~. The Public Hearing
was opened at 7:35 by Mayor Sanders. Speakers were requested to
identify themselves prior to speaking and to add their names to the
sign-in sheet if they wished to speak or be"included on the mailing
list for future public hearings concerning this project. The
audience expressed no objection to any councilmember's participation
- in the public hearing. No councilmember had received information,
other than staff reports, prior to the public hearing.
Councilmembers reviewed a letter received from Ken Gatke-requesting
that only a portion of the property be granted commercial zoning.
Shelly Badger indicated, on the map,~the area being requested for
rezone to commercial and explained that the request had been placed
on hold due to discussion on the Transportation Plan Y-2, extension.
The Plan does not accommodate commercial zoning on the south side of
the Y-2 extension. She also added that it is impossible to determine
the exact location of the proposed extension.
Bob Hazlett stated that during the process of preparing the
Transportation Plan it had always been assumed that all of Yelm Ave.
would eventually be commercial.

Nancy Weidinger -felt that the engineers comments would be helpful.
Ken Gatke - stated that he believed that granting the rezone as
requested by Mr. Puegh would create an increased traffic load that
Vancil Road could not handle.
Nancy Weidinger - agreed with Gatke and pointed out that there w
no sidewalks to accommodate pedestrians creating dangerous conditie J
for area children. ~~She felt limited multi-family might work. She
also pointed out Vancil Rd/Yelm Highway intersection problems such
as high traffic volume and a telephone pole that blocks the view of
oncoming traffic requiring traffic on Vancil to pull into the roadway
to see. ~ ~ ~~
Shelly Badger asked Bob Hazlett and Perry Shea to respond.
Perry Shea explained that the modernization proposed for Nisqually
Plaza would require installation of a signal light as well as safety
improvements, but that the exact realignment of the intersection was
not known at this time. He added that any commercial development
would have to address the situation and that the Transportation Plan
calls for signalization and three traffic Lanes, one being a left
turn lane going from the Plaza to-103rd. Also required would be any
improvements necessary to maintain the current traffic level. As
property develops assessments would have to be done through traffic
studies and environmental impact-studies to determine changing needs.
Shelly Badger pointed out that the rezone issue is separate from
development, that improvements would be determined at the time of
development and that the developer would be required to commit mor
beforehand for necessary improvements 'to be made.
Nancy Weidinger - stated that she disagreed with commercial zoning
other than on Yelm Ave.
Ken Gatke - agreed and said that commercial on Vancil doesn't fit.
Perri Shea - stated that the Y-2 connector would probably be in place
soon than originally anticipated, and that concerns being stated
would be addressed at the point of development.
- Councilmembers Miller and' Parsons explained that the Council has
- generally concurred with the property owners wishes and that
development at some future time would be reviewed by both the
Planning Commission and the Council.
Gene Borges explained that some uses for C-Z are for office space,
retail establishments and parking lots.
In response to questions about how the .Plaza was allowed to develop
to its present condition, Shea responded that traffic volumes didn't
require'signalization when the plaza was developed. Borges added
that DOT mandated what could/couldn't be done at that time as Yelm
didn't have a Transportation.Plan.

8. Y-2 Connector Alternatives and Yelm Transportation Plan Update.
Perry Shea, S. Chamberlain & Associates, told Councilmembers that he
and Gene Borges had recently met with DOT to discuss and explore
possibilities and the general location of the Y-2 Collector. Two
alternatives had been identified and discussed, both located south
of the original choice. Funding is being investigated with a
possible 50$ each for Yelm and DOT. The Alternative would eventually
be a state highway with limited access (no driveway access). Shea
responded to questioning by stating that the City should be
concentrating on the recommended alternatives to the south and that
it is a priority to address the issue now.
Gene Borges added that if we raise funding towards the project we
will be able to voice the goals of the City, Council and citizens.
If we take a passive role the road becomes a state project - their
road, their way.
