Dear Mr. Huntington:
Attached is a Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance issued to Yelm Community Schools for the construction of a new High School in Yelm near the Twin County Credit Union Yelm Branch.
One of the conditions of the MDNS is that the developer will be responsible for improvements to Yelm Avenue (SR 507) in the form of a center turn lane extending from 93rd Street to 250
feet east of the High Schools eastern entrance.
This improvement will be on the frontage of Horizon Mortgage. When Horizon obtained site plan review approval, half street frontage improvements were required along the frontage of
Yelm Avenue. These required improvements were deferred at the time of construction, but will now be required in order to connect the frontage improvements being installed by Yelm Community
Schools.
The School District is now in the process of designing their street improvements for review by the City and State Department of Transportation. The City has encouraged the District
to coordinate improvements with Horizon Mortgage, and would encourage you to do the same with the District.
If you have any questions regarding the MDNS or frontage improvement requirements, I can be reached at 458-8408 or by stopping by City Hall.
Sincerely,
Grant Beck, Director
Department of Community Development
