Re: Landscape Plans for Cherry Meadows
Darren:
I am returning one copy of the approved landscape plans for Cherry Meadows. I marked the cul-
de-sac around lots 25-29 to add trees. I believe that when Jim returns the civil plans, he will not
allow the concrete or asphalt around the cul-de-sac as shown.
If you have any questions, please give me a call at (360) 458-8496.

additional trees in front of Lot 25-29 because there is no planter strip in front of those lots. Please give

Re: Landscape Plans for Cherry Meadows
Dear Mr. Sandeno:
have reviewed the landscape plans submitted for the Cherry Meadows Subdivision and
provide you with the following comments.
Page LS02; Street trees are missing in front of lot #'s 25, 26 and 29.
Page LSO4; Please alternate evergreen trees and deciduous trees in the open space
pathways.
Page LS05; Open Space improvements must be shown for the Tract A Park. (e.g. picnic
area, playground, etc.)
Space street trees fronting tots 169/170 so that lot 70 has tree in planter strip.
Alternate evergreen trees and deciduous trees in the open space pathway.
Page LS06; Alternate evergreen trees and deciduous trees in the open space pathway.
Page LS07; Please resubmit plans for the buffer area adjacent to the St. Hwy 510 Yelm
Loop (future bypass road). See detail submitted with preliminary plat
application and approval for berm and planting required for this area.
Page LS09; Please add Detail 4-19 street tree detail, found in the City of Yelm

Re: Cherry Meadow's Tree and Vegetation Plan
Tom:
The tree and vegetation plan that you submitted does not show which trees are proposed to be
saved, or to be removed. The plan as submitted cannot be approved.
There appears to be approximately 250 trees on the site, with a possibility of saving about 20 at
the most. The development will be planting over 250 street trees as required for the local access
road construction. However, this does not mitigate the loss of the existing evergreen trees.
The development is also responsible for constructing a 20-foot wide, landscaped earthen berm
along the nortern property line, to provide a barrier between the development and the proposed
State Route 510 Yelm Loop. This berm will be planted with a mixture of landscaping, and
evergreen trees. This may be regarded as partial mitigation for the tree loss.
Normally, we require a 2 to I replacement for the loss of existing trees. I would propose the
following to mitigate the removal of approximatley 250 trees.
1. Preserve and protect during construction, the trees that are located within the open space
trails in Tracts B, C, D, E, and the few trees within the Tract A open space. You will find
the fencing requirements for tree protection in Section 14.16.120(G).
2. Line the trail in each of tracts B, C, D, E with a mixture of evergreen and deciduous trees,
and plant grouping of trees to enhance open space improvements within Tract A.
3. Landscape the perimeters of the stormwater tracts with 70% evergreen - 30% deciduous
trees.
C:\Documents and Settings\Tami\Desktoplmemokidwell.doc
A detailed landscape plan is required as a part of civil plan submission and approval. In regards
to the tree preservation plan, a clearing and grading permit may be issued after inspection and
approval by the City of the protection fencing for the trees to be retained as listed above.
The planting requirements above shall be reflected on the landscape plan, and must be approved
as part of your civil plan submission.
If you have any questions, I can be reached at (360) 458-8496.

Re: Revision to Cherry Meadows Preliminary Plat, SUB-03-8340-YL
Dear Grant:
The preliminary plat for the above referenced project was approved by the Hearing Examiner on October 16,
2003. The approval is fora 202 single-family residential lot subdivision in the moderate density district (R-
6). This letter is a formal request for an administrative approval by staff to reduce the number of lots from 202
to 200 and to reduce the open space from 2.35 acres to 2.23 acres.
Since the approval date, the applicant has re-evaluated the lots and would like to revise the lot widths to make
them slightly larger. In the approved plan the typical lot width is 50'. The applicant would like to increase
the typical lot to a width of 52'. To accomplish this, minimal revisions to the plat are necessary. The site
layout (transportation network, open space locations, storm water facilities, etc) remains exactly the same.
Reductions to the width of open space Tracts B, C, and D from 40' to 30' and the elimination of two lots
provides enough area to increase all the 50' lots to a width of 52'.
Number of Lots
Open Space - 2.02 Acres Required
Per Code
Density
Approved Preliminary Plat
202
2.35 Acres
5 units per acre
Revised Preliminary Plat

2.23 Acres

Grant Beck
February 27, 2004
Page 2
A reduction of two lots would not change or invalidate any of the original analysis of the project impacts;
mitigation or conditions of approval assigned by the Hearing Examiner and would comply with the R-6 zone
and all applicable development standards. It is not uncommon or unexpected that as a project moves from
preliminary design to final design, minor revisions are necessary and this revision would be within an
excepted normal range of modification.
Enclosed are a full size plot and an 11' x 17" reduced copy of the revised plat layout for your review. Please
let me know if you have any questions or would like additional information. I can be reached at (360) 459-
3609 or ccarlson cr,parametrix.com.

City of Yelm
Community Development Department
- YELM
~ wwsauw~roN
To: Mayor Rivas
Yelm City Council
From: Grant Beck, Director of Community Developmen
Date: December 1, 2003
Subject: Amended Street Vacation -Cherry Meadows
Issue
Don Findley, D&D Associates, LLC, has approval (Ordinance No. 791) to vacate an unopened
public right-of way as part of his application for preliminary approval of a subdivision and has
requested an amendment to a condition of approval.
Background
The City Council on October 22, 2003, vacated an unopened right-of-way between Cullins and
Killion Roads. Ordinance No. 791 effected the vacation and transferred title to the property as
of the date of final subdivision approval by the City Council of the Cherry Meadows subdivision.
Mr. Findley has requested the City amend the approval to effect the title transfer at the time the
proposed street right-of-way which connects Cullins and Killion is dedicated by the developer.
The Community Development Department recommends the City Council approve the proposed
revision, as the City's interest in protecting cross-connecting streets is preserved by the
proposed revision.
Chapter 35.79 RCW states that the City Council can require that the abutting property owners
compensate the city in an amount which does not exceed one-half the appraised value of the
area vacated. The Community Development does not recommend compensation in this
particular situation because a through street will be provided as part of the development which
replaces the vacated right-of-way.
Recommendation
Approve Ordinance No. 798 amending Ordinance No. 791 by changing the time transferring title
to the vacated right-of-way from final subdivision approval to the dedication of alternate right-of-
way.

setbacks with a total on both sides of 12 feet, minimum rear yard setback of 25 feet,
maximum building area coverage of 50%, and maximum development coverage of
75%. The proposed lot sizes allow space for a reasonably sized, single family
residential dwelling which will meet all setbacks and area coverage requirements.
Thus, the parcel is consistent with the R6 zone classification.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and decide the issues presented
by this request.
2. The applicant has shown that the proposed preliminary plat makes appropriate
provision for the public health, safety, and general welfare for open spaces,
drainage ways, streets, roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water
supplies, sanitary waste, parks and recreation, schools and school grounds,
sidewalks, and other features assuring safe walking conditions for students in
accordance with Section 16.12.170(A) YMC.
3. The subdivision conforms with the Yelm/Thurston County Joint Comprehensive
Plan, the City zoning ordinance, the City subdivision ordinance, and City
development guidelines.
4. .The proposed subdivision conforms with the applicable R6 zone classification and
all other development regulations.
5. Public facilities within the area have sufficient capacity to serve the subdivision
concurrent with the development, and as sanitary sewers in the area have capacity
to serve all lots.
6. The preliminary plat will serve the public use and interest by providing an attractive
location for a single family residential subdivision convenient to major transportation
corridors and the City's downtown area. Therefore, the preliminary plat should be
approved subject to the following conditions:
Lot Size and Setbacks
1. Lot size and setbacks are adequate as proposed, however, corner lots
shall place driveways and direct house fronts as follows:
Lot #1 -Driveway faces east, house fronts to the east
Lot #12 -Driveway faces west or south, house fronts to the west
Lot #43 -Driveway faces west, house fronts to the west
Lot #44 -Driveway faces west, house fronts to the west
Lot #76 -Driveway faces east, house fronts to the east
Lot #84 -Driveway faces south, house fronts to the west
-7-
school aged children residing in the plat.
13. The applicant will provide minimum parking spaces of two per unit on each
residential lot.
14. The parcel is located within the City sewer service area but currently not connected
to the City's STEP sewer system. A sewer line presently exists in the Killion Road
right-of-way adjacent to the parcel. The applicant may, therefore, extend the sewer
line into the plat to serve all lots.
15. The parcel is also in the City's water service area, but presently not connected to
the City water system. As with sewer, an existing water main exists in the Killion
Road right-of-way and the applicant may extend it into the site to serve each
residential lot and provide fire flow for the subdivision.
16. The applicant proposes three storm drainage facilities with a total area of 2.58
acres. The City of Yelm storm water manual requires the applicant to control and
treat storm water runoff in accordance with the requirements set forth therein. The
applicant has submitted a preliminary storm water report that estimates the
impervious surfaces, infiltration rates of runoff, and a conceptual design for
treatment and storage of the storm water. Following preliminary plat approval, the
applicant will submit a final design to the City for review and approval.
17. The applicant must provide street lighting in accordance with the City's development
guidelines and landscaping in accordance with Chapter 17.80 YMC. The applicant
will landscape the south, east, and west property lines with Type 2 perimeter
landscaping, and will also landscape the 20 foot wide, Tract F adjacent to the north
property line with an earthen berm at least three feet in height and 20 feet in width.
The applicant will install street trees and grass in planter strips along road frontages
and will also install landscaping in open spaces and around the storm water
facilities. The applicant must also, in accordance with Section 14.16.110 YMC,
preserve as many trees as possible and incorporate trees into the development
plan. The applicant has provided a letter of intent to complete a full tree and
vegetation plan which shows the possibility of preserving trees in the open space
areas and along some perimeter lot lines.
18. The parcel is located within the Moderate Density Residential (R6) zone
classification of the YMC. Section 17.15.020 YMC authorizes single family
residential dwellings on individual lots as outright permitted uses provided the
density does not exceed six dwelling units per acre or fall below three dwelling units
per acre. The subdivision proposes a density of approximately five dwelling units
per acre and therefore satisfies the density guidelines. Section 17.15.050 YMC
provides no minimum lot area or lot width requirements. However, said section
requires a 25 foot setback from collector streets, five foot minimum side yard
-6-
Road and Killion Road are both classified as Neighborhood Collectors with a total
pavement width of 19 feet.
8. To address the above traffic impacts, prior to completion of Phase 1 of the project,
the applicant will install in Yelm Avenue (SR-510) an eastbound left turn lane and
in Cullens Road a left turn lane and straight/right turn lane. The applicant will also
widen Cullens Road to 24 feet from its intersection with Yelm Avenue to the plat
entrance. Prior to the completion of Phase 2 the applicant will widen Killion Road
to 24 feet from its intersection with Yelm Avenue to the plat entrance. Prior to
completion of Phase 3 the applicant will install an eastbound left turn lane in Yelm
Avenue at the intersection with Killion Road. The City will offset the cost of said
improvements against the Transportation Facility Charge (TFC) of $757.50 per
peak hour trip which calculates to 1.01 trips per unit. The City anticipates that the
cost of the above described improvements will approximate the TFC charge.
9. The TIA anticipates that 55% of plat traffic will travel south on Cullens Road and
45% south on Killion Road. All Killion Road traffic will access directly onto Yelm
Avenue, while the Cullens Road traffic will split, 40% going to Yelm Avenue via
Cullens and 15% to Yelm Avenue via Edwards Street and Coates Road. The TIA
further estimates that 45% of the traffic will travel north on SR-510, 35% north on
SR-507, and 5% south on SR-507. 15% of the traffic will remain in Yelm. The
above described improvements will ensure that no LOS at any intersection falls
below the adopted City standard of LOS D.
10. The City owns an unopened, 40 foot wide, right-of-way which traverses the site from
east to west near the north property line and crosses lots nine through 27 and a
storm drainage tract. The applicant cannot develop the plat as designed unless the
City Council vacates said right-of-way. The Examiner has therefore added a
condition of approval requiring the applicant to secure a vacation of the unopened
right-of-way as a condition of approval.
11. Chapter 16.14 of the Yelm Municipal Code (YMC) requires a minimum of 5% of the
gross land area of a preliminary plat to be dedicated as open space. Fora 40.42
acre parcel the minimum requirement calculates to 88,035 square feet. The
applicant has proposed approximately 102,940 square feet which exceeds the
minimum code requirement. The applicant will use the open space for pedestrian
pathway corridors throughout the development and both passive and active uses
in Tract A. The 20 foot wide Tract F abuts the north property line which is planned
for the future SR-510/507 bypass improvement. The applicant must provide an
earthen berm with screening landscaping and perimeter landscaping.
12. A mitigation measure in the Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance (MDNS)
issued following SEPA review requires the applicant to enter a school mitigation
agreement with the Yelm School District to offset the impacts on the district of
-5-
2. The City issued a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance.
3. Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Nisqually Valley News on Friday,
September 26, 2003, and posted in public areas on Wednesday, September 24,
2003. The notice was mailed to adjacent property owners, and the applicant, on
September 24, 2003.
4. The applicant has a possessory ownership interest in an unimproved, rectangular,
40.42 acre parcel of property located between Killion Road and Cullens Road
approximately 1,800 feet north of Yelm Avenue West (SR-510). The applicant
requests preliminary plat approval to allow subdivision the parcel into 202 single
family residential lots.
5. The parcel abuts Cullens Road for 1,360 feet and Killion Road for 1,430 feet and
extends from right-of-way to right-of-way, a distance of 1,270 feet. The preliminary
plat map shows internal plat roads providing a connection between Cullens Road
and Killion Road. The road layout shows a rectangular, outer perimeter road loop
with two internal roads providing access between the perimeter road. Storm
drainage tracts are located at the southeast corner, near the southwest corner, and
the northcentral portions of the site. A 1.15 acre rectangular parcel designated as
Tract A will provide both active and passive recreational opportunities. Other open
space areas include Tract F, a 20 foot wide strip along the north property line and
three, 40 foot wide, rectangular parcels extending between internal plat roads to
provide a pedestrian trail and access to the Tract A community park. Additional
pedestrian access to Tract A is provided by Tract E, a 20 foot wide, rectangular
parcel extending from the eastern perimeter road to the end of a cul-de-sac near
the park.
6. As previously found, Cullens Road and Killion Road abut the east and west property
lines and mark the City limits. Thurston County abuts the opposite side of the said
roads and has zoned the area 1-5 Rural Residential. The parcel to the north is
located in the R6 zone classification and unimproved. The property to the southeast
is located within the R6 classification and improved with a single family residential
dwelling. The property to the southwest is vacant commercial (C1) property.
7. The most significant issue concerning plat approval is the impact on City streets and
intersections by plat generated traffic. According to a Transportation Impact
Analysis (TIA) performed by Transportation Engineering, LLC, a qualified traffic
engineering firm (Exhibit "7"}, the plat will generate an average of 1,960 daily trips,
205 of which will occur during the p.m. peak period. Project traffic viii reduce the
intersection of Yelm Avenue/Cullens Road at its present level of service (LOS) E
with a 36 second delay, to LOS F (failing) with a 90 second delay. Alt other
intersections will operate at the adopted City standard of LOS D or better. Cullens
-4-
line which will be protected by a three foot high berm. The applicant does not know what
recreational uses it will provide for the community park so it has proposed one-half active
and one-half passive. Many corner lots exist in the plat.
Appearing was GRANT BECK, Community Development Director, who testified that the
City required a Traffic Impact Analysis as Cullens Road and Killion Road do not meet City
ordinance standards. The City, based on the traffic report, has imposed a condition
requiring the widening of said roads to 24 feet. The intersection of both Cullens Road and
Killion Road with Yelm Avenue will drop to LOS F upon completion of the plat. The code
addresses this situation by requiring a developer to construct all improvements necessary
to restore the level of service, pay a transportation finance charge of $757.00 per p.m.
peak hour trip, or build a portion of the facility and credit that amount toward. the TFC
payment. The Cullens and Yelm intersection is on the City's six year program, but not
funded. The applicant will do some of the improvements and the cost should approximate
the PFC payment. Improvements for Phase 1 include upgrading Cullens Road, an
eastbound left turn lane at the intersection, and a left turn lane/right turn lane on Cullens
Road. Before Phase 2 Killion Road will be widened to 24 feet. Before Phase 3 the
applicant will install an eastbound left turn lane at the intersection with Yelm Avenue. None
of the above improvements are funded by the City. Killion and Cullens presently meet the
definition of Neighborhood Collector roads.
Appearing was KATHY CARLSON on behalf of the request who agrees with the staff report
and the proposed mitigation. She ascertained that the 24 foot wide road improvement
would consist of an improvement consistent with the existing pavement and would include
only additional driving lane width. The improvements recommended by the TIA will return
the intersection to LOS C.
Reappearing was MR. BECK who testified that due to the block length requirements the
City will recommend installation of traffic calming devices in accordance with Public Works
recommendations.
No one spoke further in this matter and so the Examiner took the request under
advisement and the hearing was concluded.
NOTE: A complete record of this hearing is available in the City of Yelm Community
Development Department

Yelm City Council 2 Oct. 03 ~El','q!~'o~
Yelm, WA
Subject: Case #SUB-03-8340-YL Cherry Meadows
Dear Sir or Madam,
Regarding subject case, I've given it some thought and I've come up with three reasons
why the Council would even consider adding 400 more cars and 600 more people to
Yelm's already overburdened infrastructure. They are as follows:
1. No one on the Council lives or drives in Yelm, so the gridlock on weekends and at rush
hours is not an issue.
2. The Council WANTS to turn Yelm into a seedier version of South Hill Puyallup.
3. The Council believes that if Yelm is over-crowded sufficiently, the Federal Government
will provide assistance in mitigating our infrastructure problems.
200 homes? Does it have to be 200? Can't we put these homes on % acre lots to cut
down on some of the population and end up with homes that will still be desirable 15 years
from now?
I doubt that my opinion will cause so much as a pause in this mindless development frenzy
that I`ve seen over the decades here in Washington State. So, I'll close by asking you to
look kindly upon my future request to sub-divide my little two acres. My land will no
longer be the nice, quiet rural setting that motivated me to buy here in the .first place. OK,
two acres. I'm figuring I should be able to cram 25 or 30 "affordable" homes in that
space, then I can pack up and "get out of Dodge." That is, if I can get someone to let me
out on Yelm Ave.
Thanks,
Ruth Gardner

This report summarizes traffic impacts associated with the Yelm Subdivision, a proposed 205-
unit single-family residential development in Yelm, WA. The study area and ~ site vicinity are
shown in Figure 1. For the purpose of this analysis, the year 2008 was selected as the build-out
year for full completion of the project. Vehicular site access would be provided via two separate
access roadways, one onto Killion Road and the other onto Cullens Street. A conceptual site
plan has been developed for the project and is shown in Figure 2.
This study addresses the following traffic impacts associated with the proposed action:
- Assessment of existing conditions through field reconnaissance.
- Estimation of weekday vehicular and p.m. peak hour trips generated by the proposed
action.
- .Assignment of daily and p.m. peak hour project trips onto the existing roadway network.
- Analysis of daily traffic volume impacts.
- Evaluation of level of service (LOS) impacts at the following study intersections:
7. Cullens Street at Coates Koad
2. Edwards Street/Crystal Sj~ring Koad at Coates Koad
3. SK S70/YelmAvenue at Killion Koad
4. SK 570lYelm Avenue at Cullens Street
5. SK 570/YelmAvenue at SK 507/ 1'" Street
- Site access, safety, and circulation issues;
- Public transportation and nonmotorized impacts;
- Identification of mitigation measures to maintain acceptable levels of mobility and safety
based upon the City of Yelm and the Washington State Department of Transportation
(WSDOT) standards and guidelines.
Project Description
The proposed residential development known as the Yelm Subdivision would consist of up to 205
single-family dwelling units in Yelm, WA. Vehicular site access would be provided onto two
public roadways; Killion Road and Cullens Street. As part of the project, Killion Road and
Cullens Street would be upgraded to provide full curbs, gutters and sidewalks on all property
frontages of the development site.

EXISTING CONDITIONS
This section describes existing transportation system conditions in the study area. It includes an
inventory of existing roadway conditions, traffic volumes, intersection levels of service, and
planned roadway improvements.
Roadway Conditions
The following paragraphs describe existing arterial roadways and intersections that would be
used for site access. Roadway characteristics are described in terms of number of lanes, posted
speed limits and shoulder types and widths.
SR 510/Yelrn Avenue is a two-lane roadway providing east-west access within the City of
Yelm. It is classified by WSDOT as a rural minor arterial. The roadway consists of 11- to 12-
foot travel lanes and 4-foot paved shoulders. Curbs, gutters and sidewalks axe located along
various parts of the roadway. The speed limit ranges from 25 mph east to 35 mph west of
Cullens Street.
Killion Road is a two-lane, north-south roadway providing access to the subject property along
its western boundary. The total pavement width is approximately 19 feet. The speed limit is
posted at 25 mph.
Cullens Street is a two-lane, north-south roadway providing access to property area along its
eastern boundary. The total pavement width is approximately 19 feet with 4-foot grass
shoulders. The posted speed limit is 25 mph.
Coates Road is a two-lane, unchannelized east-west roadway. The pavement width ranges
between 19 feet and 32 feet. The speed limit is posted at 25 mph.
Edwards Street/Crystal Springs Road is two-lane, north-south roadway with approximate 11-
foot travel lanes. North of Coates Road, the roadway consists of 8-foot gravel shoulders on the
east side and 4-foot gravel shoulders on the west side. South of Coates Road, curbs, gutters and
sidewalks are provided. The posted speed limit is 25 mph.
SR 507 is a two-lane roadway with 11-foot travel lanes, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, and 4- to 6-
foot paved shoulders along various parts of the street. WSDOT classifies this roadway as a rural
minor arterial. The speed limit in the vicinity of SR 510 and the general business district of
Yelm is 25 mph.
Intersection Traffic Control
The following paragraphs describe traffic control at each of the 5 intersections evaluated as part
of this study.
Cullens Street at Coates Road
This t~vo-~vay stop controlled intersection consists of stop signs on the minor legs of Coates
Road. All legs of the intersection consist of single lane approaches.

Edwards Street/Crystal Springs Road at Coates Road
This two-way stop controlled T-intersection consists of a stop sign on the minor leg of Coates
Road. All legs of the intersection consist of single lane approaches.
SR SIO/Yelm Avenue at Killion Road
This two-way stop controlled T-intersection consists of a stop sign on the minor leg of Killion
Road. All legs of the intersection consist of single lane approaches.
SR 510/Yelm Avenue dt Cullens Street
This two-way stop controlled intersection consists of stop signs on the minor leg of Cullens
Street. All legs of the intersection consist of single lane approaches.
SR 510/Yelm Avenue at SR 507/151 Street
This intersection is controlled by afully-actuated traffic signal. Left-turn only lanes are provided
at all legs of the intersection, and all left-turns are provided with protected signal phases.
Eastbound and westbound right-turn only lanes are also provided. A separate phase occurs for
eastbound/westbound and northbound/southbound movements.
Existing Traffic Volumes
Average weekday daily traffic volumes (AWDT) represent the number of vehicles traveling a
roadway segment over a 24-hour period on an average weekday. Peak hour traffic volumes
typically represent the highest hourly volume of vehicles of the average day passing through an
intersection during the 4-6 p.m. peak period. Therefore, p.m. peak period volumes were used to
evaluate traffic impacts that would occur as a result of the development. Figure 3 shows
existing .year daily and p.m. peak hour volumes in the project site vicinity. WSDOT provided
historical daily traffic counts. Traffic Count conducted p.m. peak hour turning movements counts
at all 5 intersections analyzed in April/May 2003.
ADT volumes not counted in 2003 were factored by 2 percent per year to estimate existing daily
traffic volumes based upon historical growth rates in the study area.
Intersection Level of Service
Level of service (LOS) serves as an indicator of the quality of traffic flow at an intersection or
road segment. The LOS grading ranges from A to F, such that LOS A is assigned when minimal
delays axe present and low volumes are experienced. LOS F indicates long delays and/or forced
flow. Table 1 summarizes the delay range for each level of service at both signalized and
unsignalized intersections. The methods used to calculate the levels of service are described in
the updated 2000 Highway Capacity Manual (Special Report 209, Transportation Research Board).
Level of service for signalized intersections is defined in terms of control delay, which is a
measure of driver discomfort, frustration, and increased travel time. The delay experienced by a
motorist is made of up a number of factors that relate to traffic control, geometries, traffic
demand, and incidents. Total control delay is the difference between the travel time actually
experienced and the reference travel tune that would result during base conditions (i.e., the absence
of traffic control, geometric delay, any incidents, or as a result other vehicles).

LOS F at signalized intersections is often considered unacceptable to most drivers, but does not
automatically imply that the intersection is over capacity. Jammed conditions could occur on
one or all approaches, with periods of long delays and drivers waiting for multiple- signal cycles
to progress through the intersection.
For unsignalized intersections, a level of service and estimate of average control delay is
determined for each minor or controlled movement based upon a sequential analysis of gaps in
the major traffic streams and conflicting traffic movements. In addition, given that unsignalized
intersections create different driver expectations and congestion levels than signalized
intersections, their delay criteria axe lower. Control delay at unsignalized intersections include
deceleration delay, queue move-up time, stopped delay in waiting for an adequate gap in flows
through the intersection, and final acceleration delay. The City of Yelm's level of service
standard is LOS D.

Public Transportation Services
Intercity Transit provides public transportation services within Thurston County. Transit route
93 stops on Cullens Street in the vicinity of the Easthaven Villa Assisted Living Community and
on Coates Road. Route 94 stops along SR 510. All stops are within reasonable walking distance
to the project site at less than'/z mile.
Route 93 provides Saturday service within the City of Yelm to major attractors such as the
Nisqually Plaza and the Post Office. Service is provided from 8:30 a.m. until 7:25 p.m. with
stops every hour.
Route 94 provides weekday and Saturday service from Olympia to Yelm. Weekday service is
provided between 6:15 a.m. and 6:55 a.m. with stops every hour. Saturday service is provided
from 8:25 a.m. until 7:55 p.m. with stops every 2 hours.
Nonmotorized Transportation
Paved and/or gravel shoulders are provided on Cullens Street, SR 510, Edwards Street/Crystal
Springs Road, and SR 507. Raised sidewalks are provided along parts of SR 510 and on
Edwards Street/Crystal Springs Road, south of Coates Road.
Planned Roadway Improvements
The City of Yelm's Szx-Year Transportation Improvement Plan (ITP), 2003-2008, identified the
following transportation improvement projects that would be impacted by vehicular trips from
the proposed residential complex:
- Yelm Avenue (SR 510) at Killion Road Intersection. Widen roadway, re-align
intersection and provide safety improvements.
- Yelrn Avenue (SR 510) from Solberg Street to First Street. Widen roadway to
neighborhood collector standards. These standards would include two lanes with 10-
foot travel lanes, a 7-foot parking lane on one side, and an 8-foot planting strip between
curbs and 5-foot sidewalks on both sides.
- SR 507/Mosman Street from SR 507 to Railroad Street. Realign roadway, repair
shoulders, improve pavement, drainage, provide partial sidewalks, lighting.
TRANSPORTATION IMPACT ANALYSIS
The following section describes transportation impacts the proposed Yelm Subdivision would have
on critical intersections in the site vicinity. The discussion includes non-project related traffic
forecasts, new trips generated by the proposed development, distribution and assignment of ne~v
project trips, impacts on levels of service at nearby significant intersections, site access,
circulation, and safety issues, and public transit and nonmotorized transportation impacts.

Non-Project Traffic Forecasts
For the purpose of this traffic analysis, year 2008 was selected as the build-out year based upon
completion of the project as anticipated by the proponent. Based on historical traffic volumes
in the site vicinity, the average annual traffic growth rate is estimated at approximately 2 percent.
As such, to estimate future traffic volumes, existing traffic volumes were factored by 2 percent
per year to estimate 2008 baseline conditions.
Project Trip Generation
Trip generation rates compiled by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip
Generation, 6'h Edition, 1997, were used to estimate daily traffic and the City of Yelm's Trip
Generation Kate Default Values (Yelm's Municipal Code, Table 15.40.030B) were used to estimate
p.m. peak hour traffic that would be generated by the proposed action. Average trip rates (ITE
land use code 210 and City of Yelm's Single Family Detached land use) were applied based upon
total dwelling units (the maximum potential number of 205 dwelling units) to estimate new trips
generated. Entering and exiting distribution percentages during the p.m. peak hour were
obtained from the ITE Trip Generation.
Table 1 summarizes estimated trip generation by the proposed action. An estimated total of
1,960 daily and 205 p.m. peak hour vehicular trips (130 entering and 75 exiting) would be
generated at full build-out and occupancy of the project.

Trip Distribution and Assignment
Based upon traffic studies previously completed for residential projects within the immediate site
vicinity, historical traffic volumes and patterns, and the regional employment distribution within
the area, p.m. peak hour traffic volumes generated by the proposed action would be generally
distributed as follows (also shown in Figure 4):
- 45 percent westerly via SR 510/Ye1m Avenue;
- 35 percent southeasterly/easterly via SR 507;
- 5 percent southerly via SR 507; and
- 15 percent locally within the City of Yelm.

Traffic Volume Impacts
Figure 5 summarizes daily traffic impacts along the major corridors of SR 510 and SR 507. SR
510 west of SR 507/15` Street would experience the greatest increase in daily traffic volumes at
1,100 vehicles. Daily traffic volumes would also increase on SR 510 east of Longmire Street
with 800 additional vehicles and on SR 507 east of SR 50/151 Street with 700 additional vehicles.
SR 510 and SR 507 are minor arterials, which are designed to carry these additional vehicular
capacities.
Future Levels of Service
Intersection levels of service impacts were evaluated at study area intersections assuming full
occupancy and operation in 2008 and are summarized in Table 3. As shown, the intersection of
SR 510/Yelm Avenue at Cullens Street would both operate at LOS E without the project in
2008 and LOS E with the project. Given that the intersection would not meet City LOS
standards in 2008, additional intersection improvements were identified to include separate left-
turning lanes on SR 510 or a two-way center left-turning lane to better facilitate flow along SR
510 and provide queue storage for critical left turns onto/off of SR 510. With_ these
improvements, this intersection would operate at LOS C with or without the project in 2008.
Left-turn movements represent critical turning movements at unsignalized intersections,
increasing the potential for intersection delay and safety issues. As such, the potential need for
an eastbound left-turn lane on SR 510 at its intersection with Cullens Street was conducted
considering typical evening commute periods. Based upon procedures and guidelines found in
Highavay Kesearch Kecord No. 211 -Volume lY~arrants for Left-Turn Storage Lanes at Unsignali~ed Grade
Intersections and WSDOT's Design Manual, Left-Turn Storage Guidelines, Tivo-Lane, Unsignali~ed, May
2001, a separate eastbound left-turn (minimum 125-foot length) is warranted at this location
under existing conditions and under future 2008 conditions with and without the project.

All other intersections analyzed would operate at LOS D or better with and without the project.
Detailed level of service summary worksheets are provided in Appendix A. Figure 6 shows
peak hour project generated traffic, and Figure 7 summarizes traffic volumes with and without
the project during the p.m. peak hour.
Site Access, Safety, and Circulation Issues
Vehicular site access would be provided via two separate driveways: 1) on Killion Road and 2)
on Cullens Street. All driveway approaches would consist of single lane approaches. The
internal roadway within the development would provide adequate on-site, two-way circulation
and fire and emergency vehicle access with separate driveway entrances onto Killion Road and
Cullens Street.
Sight distance is the length of the roadway or straight-line distance a driver can see ahead at any
particular time, and is taken as the minimum sight distance required for a driver to stop a vehicle
after seeing an object in the vehicle's path without hitting that object. Sight distance is directly
related to vehicle speeds and resultant distances traversed during perception and breaking
reaction time. Entering sight distance is the minimum sight distance needed for the driver of a
vehicle stopped at an intersection to safely cross a roadway or enter and achieve average running
speed without interrupting approaching vehicles on the major street.
The minimum stopping sight distance is 200 feet and entering sight distance is 310 feet fora 30
mph design speed based upon guidelines in the City of Olympia's Develo~iment Guidelines and Public
i~orks Standards, November 21, 2000, which is used by the City of Yelm. These sight distance
requirements were originally set forth by the American Association of State and Highway
Transportation Officials (AASHTO's) A Policy on Geometric Design of Highway and Streets, 2001
(commonly referred to as the "Green Book"). Field estimates made by TENW in February
2003 indicate both project site driveways onto Killion Road and Cullens Street would exceed
AASHTO's minimum sight distance requirements by 400 feet for both stopping sight distance
(650 feet field estimate) and entering sight distance (750 feet field estimate).
Public Transportation Impacts
There are no significant public transportation impacts related to the proposed project. Existing
bus stops served by Intercity Transit are within proximity (less than'/a mile) to the proposed site
with stops on SR 510, Cullens Street and Coates Road.
Nonmotorized Impacts
As part of the project, full curbs, gutters and sidewalks would be provided on all property
frontages of the project site. No additional impacts would occur to nearby nonmotorized
facilities as a result of the proposed action.

PROJECT MITIGATION MEASURES
The following system improvements are necessary to accommodate future traffic volumes in the
site vicinity regardless of the proposed Yelm Subdivision.
- Enhance the SR 510 at Cullens Street intersection by providing the following: separate
left-turn only lanes on east/west legs of the intersections or installation of a two-way
center left-turning lane on SR 510.
This improvement would be a candidate project for inclusion in the transportation facility charge
ordinance, and is consistent with the planned SR 510 (Y-5) improvements identified as part of
the City's Comprehensive Plan, 2001.
To mitigate project traffic impacts, the project would be required to construct full curbs, gutters,
and sidewalks along its property frontages on Cullens Street and Killion Road and widen the
roadway cross-section to the City's minimum standards between the site access roadway and the
improved road section. In addition, the City of Yelm administers a traffic mitigation impact fee
rate on all proposed developments within the City to be applied to traffic-related improvements
projects. The City of Yelm would determine and apply the charge on a per unit basis at the time
of building permit issuance. Currently, this traffic impact fee is approximately $750 per single-
family home.
No other mitigation measures would be required as part of the proposed Yelm Subdivision.

Dear Sir or Madam,
RECEIVED

~i :a :_
%~~
Per............
Regarding subject case, I've given it some thought and I've come up with three reasons
why the Council would even consider adding 400 more cars and 600 more people to
Yelm's already overburdened infrastructure. They are as follows:
1. No one on the Council lives or drives in Yelm, so the gridlock on weekends and at rush
hours is not an issue.
2. The Council WANTS to turn Yelm into a seedier version of South Hill Puyallup.
3. The Council believes that if Yelm is over-crowded sufficiently, the Federal Government
will provide assistance in mitigating our infrastructure problems.
200 homes? Does it have to be 200? Can't we put these homes on 1/2 acre lots to cut
down on some of the population and end up with homes that will still be desirable 15 years
from now?
I doubt that my opinion will cause so much as a pause in this mindless development frenzy
that I`ve seen over the decades here in Washington State. So, I'll close by asking you to
look kindly upon my future request to sub-divide my little two acres. My land will no
longer be the nice, quiet rural setting that motivated me to buy here in the first place. OK,
two acres. I'm figuring I should be able to cram 25 or 30 "affordable" homes in that
space, then I can pack up and "get out of Dodge." That is, if I can get someone to let me
out on Yelm Ave.
Thanks,

To: Mayor Rivas
Yelm City Council
From: Grant Beck, Director of Community Development
Date: October 2, 2003
Subject: Street Vacation -Cherry Meadows
Issue
Don Findley, D&D Associates, LLC, has requested the vacation of an unopened public right-of
way as part of his application for preliminary approval of a subdivision of approximately 40 acres
into 202 single family lots.
Background
Cherry Meadows is a proposed 202 lot subdivision located between Cullens and Killion Roads
and just south of the proposed 510507 Loop corridor. In order to apply for the subdivision, the
applicant purchased a small strip of land located south of the proposed Loop corridor and north
of an unopened 40 foot City right-of-way connecting Cullens and Killion Roads in order to
provide an open space buffer between the proposed development and the future 510507 Loop.
The Community Development Department has recommended the Hearing Examiner approve
the proposed subdivision with the condition that the Council vacates the unopened right-of-way.
The hearing on the proposed subdivision was held on October 6, 2003.
The unopened right-of-way is not on the Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan, nor
identified in the Transportation Comprehensive Plan as a potential project for constnaction. The
unopened right-of-way does not align with any other east-west streets. The construction of a
street within the unopened right-of-way would require additional dedication of land from the
adjoining property owners.
The construction of a connecting street between Cullens and Killion would be a benefit to traffic
flow as there is currently no connection between these Roads other than Yelm Avenue (SR
507). However, the subdivision will constnact a through street constructed to City standards and
dedicated to the public as part of the development. This street will fulfill the same benefits as a
street constructed in the unopened right-of-way with no public expenditure.
Chapter 35.79 RCW states that the City Council can require that the abutting property owners
compensate the city in an amount which does not exceed one-half the appraised value of the
area vacated. The Community Development does not recommend compensation in this
Page 1 of 2
particular situation because a through street will be provided as part of the development which
replaces the vacated right-of-way.
Recommendation
The Community Development Department recommends the City Council approve the vacation
of the unopened City right-of-way between Cullens and Killion Roads subject to the final
subdivision approval of phase I of the subdivision of Cherry Meadows (SUB-03-8340-YL) and
the construction of the subdivision street which connects Cullens and Killion Roads.

,. ~ Location: The project site is approximately 40.42 acres, located between Cullens Road,
and Killion Road, approximately 1800 feet north of Yelm Avenue West.
~. ~-
~ uo' Proposal:
:~ The applicant proposes to subdivide 40.42 acres into 202 single-family residential lots.
~ z ~ The proposed plat includes stormwater facilities, open space, and new streets. The
Z ~~ project is planned to be constructed in three (3) phases.
DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS:
1. Public Notice. Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Nisqually Valley
News on Friday, September 26, 2003, and posted in public areas on Wednesday,
September 24, 2003. The notice was mailed to adjacent property owners, and
the applicant, on September 24, 2003.
2. Existing Land Use, Zoning, and Density. The site is a 40.42 acre parcel,
situated between Cullens Road, and Killion Road, north of Yelm Avenue West.
The site is zoned Moderate Density Residential (R-6), Chapter 17.15 Yelm
Municipal Code (YMC). In the R-6 District, the maximum density is six (6) units
The City of Yelm is an Equal Opportunity Provider
per acre, with a minimum density of three (3) units per acre. As proposed, the
density of the project is 4.98 units per acre.
3. Lot Size and Setbacks. The R-6 District does not have a minimum or maximum
lot size but it does have standard yard setbacks. Lots appear to provide adequate
setbacks. For traffic safety, driveways for corner lots should have specific
driveway locations. (See Condition #1).
4. Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning. The property directly to the north is zoned R-
6, and is vacant. The properties to the east and west are outside the City limits,
and are zoned 1 /5 Rural Residential. The property to the southeast is zoned R-6,
and is currently asingle-family residential use. The property to the southwest is
vacant and zoned C-1 Commercial.
5. Open Space. Chapter 16.14 requires a minimum of five percent of the gross land
area to be dedicated as open space. For 40.42 acres, the minimum requirement
for open space is 88,034.76 square feet. The proposed open space is
approximately 102,94 sq. ft. The open space must also provide one or more of the
following uses: environmental interpretation, or other education; park, recreational
land, athletic fields; off-road footpaths or bicycle trails; or any other use found by
the City to further the purposes of the open space chapter. The applicant has
provided a letter of intent for the open space use, providirig pedestrian pathway
corridors throughout the development, and both passive and active uses in the
large open space Tract A.
The open space area to the north of the proposal (Tract F) is adjacent to the future
transportation corridor for the SR 510/507 improvement. The development is
required to provide an earthen berm screening landscape on the north property
line as the perimeter landscape, and future screening for the 510/507
improvement.
6. Schools. New residential units create a demand for additional school services
and facilities. The Yelm School District requests that the developer enter into an
agreement with the school district for the payment of mitigation fees based on the
project's impact. This request became a mitigating condition of the Environmental
Determination.
7. Transportation and Site Access. The property fronts on two neighborhood
collector streets, Cullens Road, and Killion Road. Cullens Road is currently two
drive lanes with a chip seal surface. Killion Road is also a two drive lane with a
chip seal surface.
Yelm Municipal Code, Chapter 16.16.090 states; "The layout of streets shall
provide for continuation of streets existing in adjoining subdivisions. When
adjoining property is not subdivided, streets in the proposed plat shall provide
R:1Project Files\SUB Full Plat Subdivision\8340 Findlay -Rosewood Pre -Cherry Prairie\8346 Hearing Examiner Report.doc Page 2 of 10
access to such unplatted property in accordance with the Yelm Transportation
Plan." The plat, as proposed, meets this standard by a road connecting Cullens
and Killion Road.
The Yelm Transportation Plan states; "The City of Yelm recognizes that increasing
connections throughout the City not only reduces traffic congestion, but also
increases the sense of unity of the community. Therefore, the City will limit the
use of cul-de-sacs, dead-end streets, loops, and other designs that form barriers.
The City will seek to minimize impacts of through traffic upon residential
neighborhoods by employing narrow streets, curves, indirect access routes, and
other features." The plat, as proposed, meets this standard by "bulb-outs" in the
main streets, connecting the pedestrian pathways through the development.
The completed project will increase traffic, and impact the City's transportation
system. Chapter 15.40, Concurrency Management, requires all development to
mitigate impacts to the City's transportation system. A single family home
generates 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips per unit. The Transportation Facility Charge
(TFC) per unit is $757.50, and payable at time of building permit.
The traffic impact analysis (TIA) submitted as part of the subdivision application
indicates that the project will generate 1,960 vehicle trips per day, with a PM peak
of 205 vehicles per hour. The TIA indicated that:
The intersection of West Yelm Avenue (SR 510) and Cullens Road will be
at Level of Service (LOS) F with an average delay of 66 seconds on Yelm
Avenue in 2008, assuming a baseline annual growth rate of 4%.
Southbound on Cullens entering Yelm Avenue will be a LOS F with an
average delay of less than 100 seconds. The project will increase wait
times to over 100 seconds in each instance.
The intersection of West Yelm Avenue and Killion Road will be LOSE (LOS
F southbound on Killion) in 2008 and the project will increase the average
delay slightly.
Frontage improvements will be constructed along Killion Road and Cullens
Road.
Killion Road and Cullens Road will be widened to 24 feet from the
entrances to the subdivision to the improved roadway.
The City issued a Mitigated Determination of Non-significance pursuant to SEPA
for the proposal. The MDNS found that the project would have a probable
significant impact on traffic that would be mitigated if the following condition were
met:
R:\Project FileslSUB Full Plat Subdivision\8340 Findlay -Rosewood Pre -Cherry Prairie\8346 Hearing Examiner Report.doc Page 3 of 10
Prior to final subdivision approval of Phase I of the proposal, the following
transportation improvements shall be complete:
The developer shall widen Cullens Road from the subdivision
entrance to West Yelm Avenue to a width of 24 feet. The developer
is solely responsible for the expense of this improvement.
At its intersection with West Yelm Avenue, Cullens Road shall be
widened to include a northbound lane from West Yelm Avenue, a left
turn lane onto West Yeim Avenue, and astraight-through/right turn
lane onto West Yelm Avenue. The addition of turn lanes is a partial
intersection improvement to mitigate immediate impacts of the
development and is based on the developers share of the full
intersection improvement. Traffic Facilities Charges shall be credited
towards this improvement.
At its intersection with Cullens Road, West Yelm Avenue shall be
widened to include an eastbound left turn lane at least 125 feet in
length. The addition of a turn lane is a partial intersection
improvement to mitigate immediate impacts of the development and
is based on the developers share of the full intersection
improvement. Traffic Facilities Charges shall be credited towards
this improvement.
Prior to final subdivision approval of Phase II of the proposal, the following
transportation improvements shall be complete:
The developer shall widen Killion Road from the subdivision entrance
to West Yelm Avenue to a width of 24 feet. The developer is solely
responsible for the expense of this improvement.
Prior to final subdivision approval of Phase III of the proposal, the following
transportation improvements shall be complete:
At its intersection with Killion Road, West Yelm Avenue shall be
widened to include an eastbound left turn lane at least 125 feet in
length. The addition of a turn lane is a partial intersection
improvement to mitigate immediate impacts of the development and
is based on the developers share of the full intersection
improvement. Traffic Facilities Charges shall be credited towards
this improvement. The City may defer this improvement at the time
Phase III is submitted for final subdivision approval based on other
development activity impacting the Killion Road intersection with
West Yelm Avenue.
R:\Project FileslSUB Full Plat Subdivision\8340 Findlay - Rosewa~d Pre -Cherry Prairie\8346 Hearing Examiner Report.doc Page 4 of 10
There is an unopened City road right-of-way located near the northern border of
the property. The applicant has requested the City vacate this right-of-way, which
request will be heard by the Council in October, 2003. The Community
Development Department is recommending the Council vacate the street with the
condition that the applicant constructs and dedicates to the public the subdivision
street connecting Killion to Cullens. The subdivision should, therefore be reviewed
as if the unopened right-of-way were part of the proposal provided preliminary
subdivision approval is conditioned upon vacation of the unopened right-of-way.
8. Parking. Chapter 17.72, Off-Street Parking and Loading, requires a minimum
parking ratio of two spaces per unit. The developer is proposing at a minimum to
provide parking accommodations for at least two vehicles on each residential lot.
9. Wastewater. The project site is in the Sewer Service Area but is currently not
connected to the City's STEP sewer system. There is an existing collection line
located in the Killion Road right of way.
r
,~ ~ Sewer connection fees are charged at the rate of $5,125 per equivalent residential
unit (ERU, fee subject to change), payable at building permit issuance. One
~~~ connection would be charged to each residential building lot, and to the existing
~ eV dwelling. All connections require an inspection with a fee of $145.00 per
'~ '~ connection, also payable at building permit issuance.
~~' ,
~ 10. Water Supply. The proposed site is in the City s water service area but is
currently not connected to the City's Water system. There is an existing
watermain located in the Killion Road right of way.
Water connections are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day, and
are charged a current rate of $1,500 per connection (fee subject to change) inside
city limits. One connection would be charged to each residential building lot.
These fees are payable at building permit issuance.
11. Drainage/Stormwater. The completed project will increase impervious surfaces
on the site, and adjacent streets. Impervious surfaces create storm water runoff.
Uncontrolled and untreated storm water runoff can create health and safety
hazards. YMC requires all development to comply with the City of Yelm
Stormwater Manual, for the control and treatment of stormwater runoff.
The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Stormwater Report that estimates the
impervious surface, infiltration rates of the runoff, and a conceptual design for
treatment and storage of the stormwater. Following preliminary plat approval, the
Stormwater Manual requires the developer to submit a final plan consistent with
the final impervious calculations for the site.
R:\Project Files\SU8 Full Plat Subdivision\8340 Findlay -Rosewood Pre -Cherry Prairie\8346 Hearing Examiner Report.doc Page 5 of 10
Stormwater facilities require continued maintenance to ensure they remain in
proper working condition.
12. Fire Protection. Fire protection is provided by Thurston County Fire District #2.
As development occurs there will be additional demands for fire service.
13. Police Protection. Police protection is provided by the City of Yelm. As
development occurs there will be additional demands for police service.
14. Street Lighting. Adequate street lighting will be required for this project. Street
lighting design must meet the City of Yelm's Development Guidelines, and plans
submitted to the Community Development Department for review and approval.
15. Landscaping. Landscaping and screening are necessary to promote safety, to
provide screening between compatible land uses, to safeguard privacy, and to
protect the aesthetic assets of the City. Chapter 17.80, Landscaping, requires
applicants to provide on-site landscaping for all development proposals.
The site is adjacent to properties that are compatibly zoned, with the exception of
the commercial piece to the southwest. If the commercial site develops as a
commercial project, the commercial development will be required to provide a 15-
footdense landscape buffer. When all adjacent properties are zoned residential,
the code requires that the perimeter of the site be landscaped with Type II
landscaping. In residential subdivisions the city also allows fencing to meet the
landscaping requirements for the perimeter of the site. The open space area of
Tract F is adjacent to the future 510/507 loop and will be improved with an earthen
berm at least 3 feet in height, and 20 feet in width.
Road frontage improvements require street trees and grass to be planted in
planter strips.
Landscaping is also required in the open space, and above ground stormwater
facilities.
A conceptual landscaping plan has been submitted. Chapter 17.80 YMC requires
that at time of civil plan review and approval, the applicant provide a final
landscape and irrigation plan for approval.
Chapter 17.80.090(F) YMC states that the owner or developer must provide a
performance assurance device in order to provide for maintenance of the required
landscape until such time the Homeowners Association becomes responsible.
16. Environmental Review. After review of the environmental checklist and
supporting documents, a Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance (MDNS) was
R:\Project FileslSUB Full Plat Subdivision\8340 Findlay -Rosewood Pre -Cherry Prairie\8346 Hearing Examiner Report.doc Page 6 of 10
issued on August 21, 2003. The comment period expired September 12, 2003.
The MDNS is attached as Exhibit III.
Comments were received from Yelm Community Schools and Washington State
Department of Transportation.
17. Tree and Vegetation preservation. Chapter 14.16.110 YMC applies to new
development to preserve existing trees and incorporate them into the
development. The applicant has provided a letter of intent to complete a full tree
and vegetation plan when detailed civil plans are developed, to determine which
trees can be retained. The letter of intent shows the possibility of preserving- trees
in the open space area, and along some perimeter lot lines.
Findings and Conclusion.
Chapter 16.12.170 requires written findings prior to a decision on a preliminary plat.
Based on the project as proposed by the applicant, and the conditions of approval
below, staff finds that the subdivision:
a. Adequately provides for the public health, safety, and general welfare, and
for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets, potable water supplies,
sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, schools, sidewalks;
b. That the public use and interest will be served by the platting of such
subdivision and dedications;
c. The subdivision is in conformance with The Yelm-Thurston County Joint
Comprehensive Plan, the City Zoning Ordinance, the City Subdivision
Ordinance, and the City's Development Guidelines.
D. Staff Recommendation

Findings of Fact
1. This Mitigated Determination of Non Significance is based on the project as proposed and the impacts
and potential mitigation measures rer1ected in the following environmental documents:
• Environmental Checklist (dated May 15, 2003, prepared by Parametrix)
• Traffic Impact Analysis (dated August 18, 2003, prepared Transportation Engineering Northwest)
• Preliminary Storm Drainage and Erosion Control Report (dated May 2003, prepared by Parametr'uc)
2. The traffic impact analysis (TlA) submitted as part of the subdivision application indicates that the
project will generate 1,960 vehicle trips per day, with a PM peak of 205 vehicles per hour. The TIA
indicated that:
The intersection of W est Yelm Avenue (SR 510) and Cullens Road will be at Level of Service
(LOS) F with an average delay of 66 seconds on Yelm Avenue in 2008, assuming a baseline
annual growth rate of 4%. Southbound on Cullens entering Yelm Avenue will be a LOS F with
an average delay of less than 100 seconds. The project will increase wait times to over 100
seconds in each instance.
The intersection of WestYelm Avenue and Killion Road will be LOSE (LOS F southbound on
Killion) in 2008 and the project will increase the average delay slightly.
Frontage improvements will be constructed along Killion Road and Cullens Road.
Killion Road and Cullens Road will be widened to 24 feet from the entrances to the subdivision
to the improved roadway.
The City of Yelm has adopted a concurrency management system as required by the Growth
Management Act. Chapter 15.40 YMC (concurrency Management) is designed to ensure that the
improvements required to support development are available at the time of development. A
concurrency determination maybe issued for a proposal as it relates to transportation issues when: the
development provides on-site frontage improvements; the project makes off-site improvements as
necessary to provide for the safe movement of traffic; and the project makes a contribution to projects
identified the six year transportation improvement program in the form of a Transportation Facilities
Charge.
The Growth Management Act at Section 36.70.070 (6){b) states that a finding of concurrency can be
issued when required improvements are in place at the time of development or that a financial
commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies within six years.
Improvements to West Yelm Avenue, including a two way center turn lane, is listed as a project on the
2003 - 2008 Transportation Improvement Program. WestYelm Avenue is a State Highway (SR 510).
There is no financial commitment currently in place to complete the improvement.
Improvements to Cullens Road and Killion Road at their intersection with West Yelm Avenue (SR 510)
are listed as projects on the 2003 - 2008 Transportation Improvement Program. There is no financial
commitment currently in place to complete the improvement.
The Yelm School District has adopted a school mitigation requirement based on the demand that new
residential units create for additional school services and facilities. Additional demands on the school
system will be mitigated through the requirement that the developer enter into a mitigation agreement
with the District.

Determination of Nonsignificance and Comment Letters
SUB-03-$340-YL
Conclusions of Law and Mitigation Measures
i. The developer shall mitigate transportation impacts based on the new residential p.m. peak hour trips
generated by the project. The Transportation Facility Charge (TFC) shall be based on 1.01 new peak
hour trips per residential unit. The proponent will be responsible for a TFC of $757.50 per dwelling unit
which is payable at time of building permit.
2. Prior to final subdivision approval of Phase 1 of the proposal, the following transportation improvements
shall be complete:
The developer shall widen Cullens Road from the subdivision entrance to West Yelm Avenue to a
width of 24 feet. The developer is solely responsible for the expense of this improvement.
At its intersection with West Yelm Avenue, Cullens Road shall be widened to include a northbound
lane from West Yelm Avenue, a left turn lane onto West Yelm Avenue, and astraight-through/right
turn lane onto West Yelm Avenue. The addition of turn lanes is a partial intersection improvement
to mitigate immediate impacts of the development and is based on the developers share of the full
intersection improvement. Traffic Facilities Charges shall be credited towards this improvement.
At its intersection with Cullens Road, West Yelm Avenue shall be widened to include an eastbound
leit turn lane at least 125 feet in length. The addition of a turn lane is a partial intersection
improvement to mitigate immediate impacts of the development and is based on the developers
share of the full intersection improvement. Traffic Facilities Charges shall be credited towards this
improvement.
Prior to final subdivision approval of Phase II of the proposal, the following transportation improvements
shall be complete:
The developer shall widen Killion Road from the subdivision entrance to West Yelm Avenue to a
width of 24 feat. The developer is solely responsible for the expense of this improvement.
Prior to final subdivision approval of Phase III of the proposal, the following transportation
improvements shall be complete:
At ifs intersection with Killion Road, West Yelm Avenue shall be widened to include an eastbound
left turn lane at least 125 feet in length. The addition of a turn lane is a partial intersection
improvement to mitigate immediate impacts of the development and is based on the developers
share of the full intersection improvement. Traffic Facilities Charges shall be credited towards this
improvement. The City may defer this improvement at the time Phase Ill is submitted for final
subdivision approval based on other development activity impacting the Killion Road intersection
with WestYelm Avenue.
3. The developer shall enter into an agreement with the Yelm School District to mitigate project impacts to
the school district.

EC File No. 2003-059 T
Dear Ms. Merriman:
We have received and reviewed the submitted Traffic hnpact Analysis (TIA) and
have the following comments:
We request the proponent provide a continuous Two Way Left Tum Lane
(TWLTL) on SR 510 from Killion Road to Cullens Street. This new TWLTL
will need to provide 100 feet of storage approaching Killion Road fiom Olympia,
and 100 feet of storage approaching Cullens Street from the SR 510/SR 507 US.
This TWLTL is identified in the City of Yelm 2001 Comprehensive Plan. The
roadway is to be widened s}nnmetricatly about the centerline and constntcted in
accordance with Design Mamiai Figure 910-1 l e. The minimum calculated taper
len~_ths are 193 feet approaching from Olympia, and 138 feet approaching from
the SR 510/SR 507 US.
We request the proponent evaluate, upgrade, and provide sidewalks or shared use
paths alone SR 510 bet~i~een Killion Road and Cullens Street. The WSDOT
Route De~~elopment Plan for SR 510 dated 1997 recommends the installation of
sidc~~ ally and bike lanes ~~ ithin the 'elm City Limits. Refer to Chapter 10 of the
Dcsi~_n Manual to c~ aluate the side~~ alk. hike lane. or shared use path
requirements. «~ sLILLtSt cOlltactins the school district's safety many ier to

We are requesting these improvements because our evaluation of impacts shows the
proposed development adds significant new trips to the existing highway system
(1,962 net new trips daily and 207 net new trips during the PM peak). We estimate
the development will negatively impact the following SR 510 intersections: Killion
Road US, Cullens Street US, SR 507/ls` Street. and Mountain View/Ye1m High
School US. The added project trips will further degrade the level of service and
average delay of the SR 510 comdor in this area, as shown on Table 3, page 11 of the
TIA. The largest degradation will occur at the Cu1_lens Street I/S where the average
delay will increase from 36 seconds to 90 seconds, and the Level Of Service will
drop from an E to an F.
If you have any questions regarding these corrunents, please contact Lany Anderson

OPEN SPACE AND TREE AND VEGETATION PLAN
ExHaBIT I`~/ SUE3-03-8340-YL
Cherry Meadows
Tree and Vegetation Plan
The site is primarily pasture with trees sparsely scattered throughout the northern half of the site
and a small grouping of trees located on the southeastern portion of the site. The dominate
species is Douglas Fir.
Until more detailed civil plans are developed the final grade and elevations that will be needed to
accommodate the construction of stonnwater facilities and infrastructure improvements are
undetermined. Final grades will substantially influence which trees can be retained.
It is anticipated that trees located in the following areas may not be significantly impacted by
grading and will lend themselves to tree retention.
o Trees located along the northern property lines of lots 23 - 27.
• Trees located in open space, Tract A.
• Trees along the very most southerly property line in the area of Tract G and Lots 46-48.
• Trees that are located in the area of common backyard property lines for lots 100-105 and
116-121.
The applicant proposes to evaluate and identify trees for retention when the final grading plan is
being prepared. Upon approval of the designated trees by the City, the applicant will field mark
the trees for retention. The root zones of all trees marked for retention will be protected by the
placement of construction fencing.

RE: Additional Information for TIA
Rosemont Subdivision
Yelm Project No. SUB-03-8340-YL
Dear Mr. Read:
Thank you for your recent Transportation Impact Analysis for the above
referenced project. This letter is to request additional information for our review
of this project. We have reviewed the report and have the following questions
or concerns.
1. The Level of Service for the some of the intersections modeled in the
report appears to be lower than what we have seen in other
Transportation Impact Analysis. Please review and revise or explain what
assumptions were used to produce the outputs shown in the TIA.
2. The completion of the transportation improvements should be completed
by the year 2005 not 2008. The year 2008 is used for phasing of the
subdivision lots. The improvements will need to be completed much
sooner than the lots.
3. The City of Yelm uses a 4% annual growth for it ADT volumes. This
needs to be revised in the report.
4. The section of the report, listing the City of Yelm's Six Year Transportation
Improvement Plan needs to be updated and revised. The Killion Road
intersection section. is ok. The remaining two descriptions need to be
revised.
5. The project mitigation measures section beginning with, "To mitigate
project traffic impacts...the improved roadway section', needs to be
explained further. We are unsure what improvements are being
constructed and in what areas the construction is taking place.
The project review has been placed on hold until the additional information has
been resubmitted. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate
to call me at (360) 458-8438 or contact me by email at jimgibson@ywave.com.

TTY: 1-800-833-6388

We have received and reviewed the submitted Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) and
have the following comments:
We request the proponent provide a continuous Two Way Left Turn Lane
(TWLTL) on SR 510 from Killion Road to Cullens Street. This new TWLTL
will need to provide 100 feet of storage approaching Killion Road from Olympia,
and 100 feet of storage approaching Cullens Street from the SR 510/SR 507 US.
This TWLTL is identified in the City of Yelm 2001 Comprehensive Plan. The
roadway is to be widened symmetrically about the centerline and constructed in
accordance with Design Manual Figure 910-1 le. The minimum calculated taper
lengths are 193 feet approaching from Olympia, and 138 feet approaching from
the SR 510/SR 507 US.
We request the proponent evaluate, upgrade, and provide sidewalks or shared use
paths along SR 510 between Killion Road and Cullens Street. The WSDOT
Route Development Plan for SR 510 dated 1997 recommends the installation of
sidewalks and bike lanes within the Yelm City Limits. Refer to Chapter 10 of the
Design Manual to evaluate the sidewalk, bike lane, or shared use path
requirements. We suggest contacting the school district's safety manager to
determine the walking routes for their children as per Design Manual 1025.06.
• We are requesting the proponent contact the local transit agency to determine if
the project will impact the existing bus stops. There may be a need to relocate,
rebuild or add a new transit stop within the limits of the project.
Ms. Merriman
July 2, 2003
Page 2
We are requesting these improvements because our evaluation of impacts shows the
proposed development adds significant new trips to the existing highway system
(1,962 net new trips daily and 207 net new trips during the PM peak). We estimate
the development will negatively impact the following SR 510 intersections: Killion
Road US, Cullens Street US, SR 507/1st Street. and Mountain View/Yelm High
School US. The added project trips will further degrade the level of service and
average delay of the SR 510 corridor in this area, as shown on Table 3, page 11 of the
TIA. The largest degradation will occur at the Cullens Street I!S where the average
delay will increase from 36 seconds to 90 seconds, and the Level Of Service will
drop from an E to an F.
If you have any questions regarding these comments, please contact Larry Anderson
at (360) 357-2709.

Re: Right-of--Way Vacation
Dear Grant:
8830 Talton Lane, Suite B, Lacey, WA 98516 • PO Box 3427, Lacey WA 985093427
As we are working through the design of the Findlay Plat, one of the significant issues is if the adjacent
right-of--way along the northern property line can be incorporated into the final plat design. As we've
discussed, once we had a solid conceptual layout that assumed a successful right-of--way vacation, it
would be beneficial to present the concept to the City Council.
I would like to request that at the March 26, 2003, City Council meeting that the concept of vacating the
right-of--way in conjunction with the platting process be presented to the Council. While this is not a
formal vacation request, my client would like to have the City Council review the plat layout and
provide a preliminary indication if they could support a vacation of the right-of--way in conjunction with
a plat approval.
Enclosed is Figure 1 that identifies the right-of--way and the property to the north of the right-of--way
that my client has an option to purchase should the Yelm City Council approve the vacation. Figure 1
also depicts the approximate location of the Y3 right-of--way corridor. The conceptual plat layout
enclosed assumes vacation of the right-of--way and provides a 20' open space buffer between the
residential lots and the Y3 corridor.
Thank you for providing assistance on this issue. If you have any questions, please contact me at (360)
459-3609 or ccarlson(cr~,parametrix.com.
Sincerely,
The Shea Groups,
