Tacoma, WA 98445
AGENT: 2M Enterprises, LLC

SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval to subdivide approximately 5.94 acres
into 23 single family residential lots. The property is zoned R-4 Low Density Residential,
which allows up to 4 dwelling units per acre. The, site currently has an existing home that
will be situated on one of the new lots.
SUMMARY OF DECISION:
Request granted, subject to conditions..
PUBLIC HEARING:
After reviewing Planning and Community Development Staff Report and examining
available information on file with the application, the Examiner conducted a public
hearing on the request as follows:
The hearing was opened on June 7, 2004 a.m.
Parties wishing to testify were sworn in by the Examiner.
The following exhibits were submitted and made a part of the record as follows:
EXHIBIT "1" - Planning and Community Development Staff Report and
Attachments
-1-
TAMI MERRIMAN appeared, presented the Planning and Community Development
Department Staff Report, and testified that proper notice was given and that the
environmental official issued an MDNS on April 23, 2004. Improvements on the site
include a house and accessory buildings, and the house will remain as part of the
subdivision, but the accessory uses will be removed. To ensure proper sight distance
several lots must access onto specific streets. The applicant will construct a basketball
court or other recreational facility in the Tract C open space, and the MDNS requires
school mitigation. The applicant will extend a plat road south to the recently completed
subdivision of Autumn Hill. The applicant must pay water and sewer latecomer's
agreements and abandon the on-site well and septic system. The code requires perimeter
landscaping and the site plan shows a six foot high fence and plantings.
JOHN LUBBESMEYER, applicant, appeared and testified that his company constructed
the subdivision to the south and terminated the road at the north property line with a
temporary cul-de-sac as they knew this property would develop. This plat will represent an
extension of the plat to the south. They will infiltrate stormwater into the ground.
MS. MERRIMAN referred to fencing on corner lots and noted a requirement that the CCRs
provide for sight distance at intersections.
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
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND DECISION:
FINDINGS:
1. The Hearing Examiner has admitted documentary evidence into the record, heard
testimony, and taken this matter under advisement.
2. The City has performed an environmental review and issued a Mitigated
Determination of Nonsignificance on April 23, 2004, with a comment deadline of
May 7, 2004, and an appeal deadline of May 14, 2004.
3. Notice of the date and time of hearing was posted on the project site, mailed to
property owners within 300 feet of the project site, and mailed to the recipients of
the Notice of Application and SEPA Determination on May 21, 2004, and advertised
in the local newspaper on May 28, 2004.
-2-
4. The applicant has a possessory ownership interest in a triangular shaped parcel of
property abutting the west side of Vancil Road SE 5.94 acre, at its intersection with
Birkland Street SE, south of Yelm Avenue within the City of Yelm. The applicant
requests preliminary plat approval to allow subdivision of the site into 23 single
family residential lots, a storm tract, and an open space tract.
5. Improvements on the site include a single family residential dwelling, outbuildings,
drinking water well, well house, and on-site septic disposal system. The applicant
will retain the existing house on proposed lot 20, but will remove all accessory
structures and abandon the well and septic system.
6. The preliminary plat map shows Birkland Street extending into the plat from Vancil
Road SE and aligned with Birkland Street to the east of Vancil Road. The new
internal road extends west to Umtanum Street which will extend north from the plat
of Autumn Hill to the south and terminate in a cul-de-sac to the north of the new
Birkland Street. Thus, the plat will have direct access onto Vancil Road and to the
Autumn Hill street system which also provides access to Vancil Road. Open space
Tract C, a 13,475 square foot triangular parcel, is located at the northwest corner
of Vancil Road and the future Birkland Street SE. The applicant will improve said
open space area with a basketball court or other appropriate outdoor recreational
equipment. Storm Tract B, located northwest of Tract C, abuts the north property
line of the plat.
7. Surrounding uses include the Autumn Hill subdivision to the south, single family
residential lots to the west, the subdivision of Prairie Heights Division II to the north,
and the subdivision of Prairie Heights Division I to the east across Vancil Road SE.
The preliminary plat will fit well with the surrounding area and will represent an
extension of the Autumn Hill plat to the north.
8. The site is located within the Low Density Residential (R4) zone classification of the
Yelm Municipal Code (YMC). Section 17.12.020(A) YMC authorizes single family
residential dwellings as outright permitted uses at a density of not more than four
dwelling units per gross acre in the R4 classification. The applicant proposes 23 lots
on 5.94 acres which calculates to 3.83 dwelling units per acre, and the plat
therefore satisfies the R4 density requirements. Section 17.12.050 YMC sets forth
lot area requirements for the R4 zone, but has no minimum lot size requirement.
Setbacks include 25 feet from collectors, 15 feet from local streets with a 20 foot
minimum driveway approach, 25 foot rear yard, five foot side yard, and a total of
both side yards of 12 feet. The lot sizes and configurations will allow construction
of a reasonably sized, single family dwelling within the required setbacks. To ensure
traffic safety and sight distance, the City will require specific locations for driveways
on corner lots.
-3-
9. Chapter 14.12 YMC requires that a minimum of 5% of the gross plat area remain
in open space. Such requires the plat to provide 13,072 square feet of open space,
and Tract C will provide 13,475 square feet of outdoor recreational opportunities.
10. The MDNS requires that the applicant enter into an agreement with the Yelm School
District to offset the impacts on the district of school aged children residing in the
plat.
11. The City of Yelm Development Guidelines requires all new developments including
subdivisions to improve street frontages to current City standards. Vancil Road, a
neighborhood collector, requires a 16 foot wide, drive lane; vertical curbs, seven
foot wide, planter strip; street trees; and a sidewalk. Chapter 16.16.090 YMC
requires the applicant to provide for street continuation to adjoining subdivisions.
The applicant will comply with transportation requirements by constructing Vancil
Road across the plat frontage to City standards and by connecting the internal plat
road to the Autumn Hill subdivision to the south. The applicant will also satisfy the
City's Transportation Facility Charge by making a $750.50 payment per lot at the
time of building permit issuance. Adequate entering and stopping sight distance is
available at the intersection of the internal plat road and Vancil Road, and all lots
will access onto the internal plat roads. Conditions of approval require the
covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CCRs) for the subdivision to regulate
fencing on corner lots to ensure proper sight distance. The lots will have sufficient
area for two off street parking spaces and still not exceed the maximum lot
coverage of limitation 75%.
12. The City will provide both potable water and fire flow to the site, and the applicant
must satisfy its obligations under a latecomer's agreement. Construction of the plat
will require the extension of a water main throughout the development to serve all
dwellings. The applicant will also connect the water system to the water main
serving Autumn Hill presently ending at the south property line.
13. The City will also provide sanitary sewer service to the site and the applicant must
satisfy its obligations under a latecomer's agreement. The applicant will extend a
sewer line throughout the plat to serve all lots and will abandon the existing on-site
septic system.
14. The storm drainage system must comply with the City stormwater manual for both
water quality and quantity controls. The preliminary storm water report shows that
the applicant can meet such standards.
15. Chapter 17.80 YMC sets forth the requirements for landscaping, and to comply
therewith, the applicant must install a Type 2 landscaping screen around the
-4-
perimeter of the site. However, City standards also authorize fencing in residential
subdivisions to meet the requirements for screening along the perimeter.
Landscaping is also required in open space areas and above ground stormwater
facilities. The landscape proposed satisfies the City's requirements.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and decide the issues presented
by this request.
2. The applicant has established 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, playgrounds, schools and school
grounds, and safe walking conditions.

OFFICE OF THE HEARING EXAMINER
CITY OF YELM
REPORT AND DECISION
CASE NO.: AUTUMN HILL PHASE II SUBDIVISION, SUB-04-0036-YL
APPLICANT: Landshapes Northwest, Inc.
John Lubbesmeyer
1151 E. 112th Street
Tacoma, WA 98445
AGENT: 2M Enterprises, LLC
15345 Sunwood Blvd. #302
Tukwila, WA 98188
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The applicant is requesting preliminary plat approval to subdivide approximately 5.94 acres
into 23 single family residential tots. The property is zoned R-4 Low Density Residential,
which allows up to 4 dwelling units per acre. The site currently has an existing home that
will be situated on one of the new lots.
SUMMARY OF DECISION:
Request granted, subject to conditions.
PUBLIC HEARING:
After reviewing Planning and Community Development Staff Report and examining
available information on file with the application, the Examiner conducted a public
hearing on the request as follows:
The hearing was opened on June 7, 2004 a.m.
Parties wishing to testify were sworn in by the Examiner.
The following exhibits were submitted and made a part of the record as follows:
r
EXHIBIT "1" - Planning and Community Development Staff Report and
Attachments
-1-
TAMI MERRIMAN appeared, presented the Planning and Community Development
Department Staff Report, and testified that proper notice was given and that the
environmental official issued an MDNS on April 23, 2004. Improvements on the site
include a house and accessory buildings, and the house will remain as part of the
subdivision, but the accessory uses will be removed. To ensure proper sight distance
several lots must access onto specific streets. The applicant will construct a basketball
court or other recreational facility in the Tract C open space, and the MDNS requires
school mitigation. The applicant will extend a plat road south to the recently completed
subdivision of Autumn Hill. The applicant must pay water and sewer latecomer's
agreements and abandon the on-site well and septic system. The code requires perimeter
landscaping and the site plan shows a six foot high fence and plantings.
JOHN LUBBESMEYER, applicant, appeared and testified that his company constructed
the subdivision to the south and terminated the road at the north property line with a
temporary cul-de-sac as they knew this property would develop. This plat will represent an
extension of the plat to the south. They will infiltrate stormwater into the ground.
MS. MERRIMAN referred to fencing on corner lots and noted a requirement that the CCRs
provide for sight distance at intersections.
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
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND DECISION:
FINDINGS:
1. The Hearing Examiner has admitted documentary evidence into the record, heard
testimony, and taken this matter under advisement.
2. The City has performed an environmental review and issued a Mitigated
Determination of Nonsignificance on April 23, 2004, with a comment deadline of
May 7, 2004, and an appeal deadline of May 14, 2004.
3. Notice of the date and time of hearing was posted on the project site, mailed to
property owners within 300 feet of the project site, and mailed to the recipients of
the Notice of Application and SEPA Determination on May 21, 2004, and advertised
in the local newspaper on May 28, 2004.
-2-
4. The applicant has a possessory ownership interest in a triangular shaped parcel of
property abutting the west side of Vancil Road SE 5.94 acre, at its intersection with
Birkland Street SE, south of Yelm Avenue within the City of Yelm. The applicant
requests preliminary plat approval to allow subdivision of the site into 23 single
family residential lots, a storm tract, and an open space tract.
5. Improvements on the site include a single family residential dwel-ing, outbuildings,
drinking water well, well house, and on-site septic disposal system. The applicant
will retain the existing house on proposed lot 20, but will remove all accessory
structures and abandon the well and septic system.
6. The preliminary plat map shows Birkland Street extending into the plat from Vancil
Road SE and aligned with Birkland Street to the east of Vancil Road. The new
internal road extends west to Umtanum Street which will extend north from the plat
of Autumn Hill to the south and terminate in a cul-de-sac to the north of the new
Birkland Street. Thus, the plat will have direct access onto Vancil Road and to the
Autumn Hill street system which also provides access to Vancil Road. Open space
Tract C, a 13,475 square foot triangular parcel, is located at the northwest corner
of Vancil Road and the future Birkland Street SE. The applicant will improve said
open space area with a basketball court or other appropriate outdoor recreational
equipment. Storm Tract B, located northwest of Tract C, abuts the north property
line of the plat.
7. Surrounding uses include the Autumn Hill subdivision to the south, single family
residential lots to the west, the subdivision of Prairie Heights Division II to the north,
and the subdivision of Prairie Heights Division I to the east across Vancil Road SE.
The preliminary plat will fit well with the surrounding area and will represent an
extension of the Autumn Hill plat to the north.
8. The site is located within the Low Density Residential (R4) zone classification of the
Yelm Municipal Code (YMC). Section 17.12.020(A) YMC authorizes single family
residential dwellings as outright permitted uses at a density of not more than four
dwelling units per gross acre in the R4 classification. The applicant proposes 23 lots
on 5.94 acres which calculates to 3.83 dwelling units per acre, and the plat
therefore satisfies the R4 density requirements. Section 17.12.050 YMC sets forth
lot area requirements for the R4 zone, but has no minimum lot size requirement.
Setbacks include 25 feet from collectors, 15 feet from local streets with a 20 foot
minimum driveway approach, 25 foot rear yard, five foot side yard, and a total of
both side yards of 12 feet. The lot sizes and configurations will allow construction
of a reasonably sized, single family dwelling within the required setbacks. To ensure
traffic safety and sight distance, the City will require specific locations for driveways
on corner lots.
-3-
9. Chapter 14.12 YMC requires that a minimum of 5% of the gross plat area remain
in open space. Such requires the plat to provide 13,072 square feet of open space,
and Tract C will provide 13,475 square feet of outdoor recreational opportunities.
10. The MDNS requires that the applicant enter into an agreement with the Yelm School
District to offset the impacts on the district of school aged children residing in the
plat.
11. The City of Yelm Development Guidelines requires all new developments including
subdivisions to improve street frontages to current City standards. Vancil Road, a
neighborhood collector, requires a 16 foot wide, drive lane; vertical curbs, seven
foot wide, planter strip; street trees; and a sidewalk. Chapter 16.16.090 YMC
requires the applicant to provide for street continuation to adjoining subdivisions.
The applicant will comply with transportation requirements by constructing Vancil
Road across the plat frontage to City standards and by connecting the internal plat
road to the Autumn Hill subdivision to the south. The applicant will also satisfy the
City's Transportation Facility Charge by making a $750.50 payment per lot at the
time of building permit issuance. Adequate entering and stopping sight distance is
available at the intersection of the internal plat road and Vancil Road, and all lots
will access onto the internal plat roads. Conditions of approval require the
covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CCRs) for the subdivision to regulate
fencing on corner lots to ensure proper sight distance. The lots will have sufficient
area for two off street parking spaces and still not exceed the maximum lot
coverage of limitation 75%.
12. The City will provide both potable water and fire flow to the site, and the applicant
must satisfy its obligations under a latecomer's agreement. Construction of the plat
will require the extension of a water main throughout the development to serve all
dwellings. The applicant will also connect the water system to the- water main
serving Autumn Hill presently ending at the south property line.
13. The City will also provide sanitary sewer service to the site and the applicant must
satisfy its obligations under a latecomer's agreement. The applicant will extend a
sewer line throughout the plat to serve all lots and will abandon the existing on-site
septic system.
14. The storm drainage system must comply with the City stormwater manual for both
water quality and quantity controls. The preliminary storm water report shows that
the applicant can meet such standards.
15. Chapter 17.80 YMC sets forth the requirements for landscaping, and to comply
therewith, the applicant must install a Type 2 landscaping screen around the
-4-
perimeter of the site. However, City standards also authorize fencing in residential
subdivisions to meet the requirements for screening along the perimeter.
Landscaping is also required in open space areas and above ground stormwater
facilities. The landscape proposed satisfies the City's requirements.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction to consider and decide the issues presented
by this request.
2. The applicant has established 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, playgrounds, schools and school
grounds, and safe walking conditions.

Proposal: The applicant is proposing to subdivide approximately 5.94 acres into 23 single-
family residential lots. The property is zoned R-4 Low Density Residential, which allows up to 4
dwelling units per acre. The site currently has an existing home that will be situated on one of
the new lots.
Location: The property is located on Vancil Road, South of Yelm Ave. E. The property is
identified by Assessor's Tax Parcel Number 22730420200.
Description of Property: The subject property is bound on the north and across the street to
the east by a residential subdivision, to the south by Autumn Hill Phase I subdivision, and to the
west by asingle-family residence.
Notice of Application, SEPA, and Public Hearing: Notice of this application was mailed to
state and local agencies, and property owners within 300 feet of the project site on April 2,
2004. Public Notice of the date and time of the Public Hearing was posted on the project site,

The City has performed an environmental review and issued a Mitigated Determination of
Nonsignificance on April 23, 2004, with a comment deadline of May 7, 2004, and an appeal
deadline of May 14, 2004.
Staff Analysis
Lots Size and Setbacks:
The R-4 zoning district does not have a minimum or maximum lot size, although it does
require standard yard setbacks of 15 feet from the front property line adjacent to local
access road (with a minimum 20 foot driveway approach), 5 feet from side property lines
(with a minimum of 12 feet between the two side yards), and 25 feet from the rear property
line. The setback on a flanking yard is 15 feet from the property lines.
For traffic safety, and sight distance, driveway locations on corner lots should have specific
locations.
The lots within the proposed preliminary subdivision appear to contain sufficient area to
meet setback and lot coverage requirements.
Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning:
The property is bordered to the north, east and south by completed residential subdivisions.
The properties to the east are in Thurston County, and currently in residential use.
The plat as conditioned meets City of Yelm development requirements, and is a compatible
use with surrounding properties.
Open Space:
The .Growth Management Act establishes a goal for open space and recreation that states
"encourage the retention of open space and development of recreational opportunities,
conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to natural resource lands and water, and
develop parks" [RCW 36.70A.020(9)].
Chapter 14.12 YMC provides guidelines for the retention and creation of open space within
the City. This chapter requires a minimum of five percent of the gross area be dedicated as
open space. Chapter 14 YMC lists attributes for qualification of open space. One of the
attributes listed is environmental interpretation or other education.
The applicant proposes to provide the required amount of open space, to be improved with
a basketball court.
Schools:
New residential units create a demand for additional school services and facilities. The
Yelm School District requests that the applicant enter into an agreement with the school
district for the payment of mitigation fees based on the project's impact.
Page 2 of 8
This request for a mitigation agreement between the applicant and the school district
became a mitigation measure of the Environmental Determination.
Transportation and Site Access:
The City of Yelm Development Guidelines require all new developments, including
subdivisions, improve street frontages to current standards. Vancil Road is a neighborhood
collector, which requires a 16-foot drive lane, vertical curb, a 7-foot planter strip with street
trees 35 feet on center, a 5-foot sidewalk, and "No Parking" signs installed. Street lighting
shall be as required by the City Engineer.
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 access to such unplatted property in `~
accordance with the Yelm Transportation Plan." The plat, as proposed, meets this standard V~ ~~ ~
by continuing Umtanum Street SE from the Autumn Hill Phase I subdivision.
Sight distance at intersections is important for traffic and pedestrian safety. The applicant
shall provide on the face of the plat, and in the Covenants and Restrictions for the
development, verbage to regulate fencing on corner lots to allow for proper sight distance.
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 transportation system. A single family home generates 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips
per unit. The Transportation Facility Charge per unit is $757.50 and payable at time of
building permit issuance.
Parking:
Chapter 17.72, Off-Street Parking and Loading, requires minimum parking ratio of two
spaces per dwelling unit.
The lots within the proposed subdivision allows sufficient area for 2 parking spaces while
meeting the maximum lot coverage of 75%.
Water:
The City's Water Comprehensive Plan identifies a portion of the City area for service. The
City is pursuing additional land areas for approval and the extension of facilities.
Completion of such activities is dependent on grant and developer funding, as well as
planned bonding and existing public funds. The status of such plans and funding sources
must be considered in any review of concurrency. Developer extensions and or dedications,
latecomer agreements, oversizing agreements, and the creation of local improvement
districts may all be considered. In the event of a new funding source, however, concurrency
is not found until the funding source is in fact in place - e.g. award of a grant, a binding letter
commitment for third parting funding, or the successful formation of a local improvement
district. Any necessary water rights are considered, only after approved for municipal use by
the Washington State Department of Ecology, or appropriate appeals board, and the time
for appeal or challenge has expired.

G ~~~~ ~ ~ There is an existing watermain located on Vancil Road. Connection to this watermain is
~,~ subject to a latecomers agreeme~the amount of $1,754.98. The watermain shall be
extended t roug t e eve opment to serve the proposed dwellings.
The proposed site would be required to connect to the City's water system. The
development's internal roadways will be required to have a water main installed to serve fire
hydrants and home services. This development will be required to connect the water
system at the "dead end" street located on the south boundary and on Vancil Rd.
The existing home is currently served by a private well. The well shall be decommissioned
per Department of Ecology standards. Any water rights associated with this well shall be
dedicated to the City of Yelm.
The City of Yelm is dedicated to providing the best quality water possible to its consumers.
Section 246-290-490, Washington Administrative Code, requires that the City take
measures to ensure that contamination does not occur as a result of cross contamination.
An irrigation meter may be installed for the purpose of irrigation. A backflow prevention
device will be required for all landscape irrigation connections. Any irrigation system
installed will need to have a back flow prevention device between the irrigation system and
the city owned water meter. This also includes any private irrigation systems that may be
located on each home lot.
Wastewater:
The city's Sewer Comprehensive Plan identifies a portion of the City area for service. The
City is pursuing additional land areas or approval and the extension of facilities. Completion
of such activities is dependent on grant and developer funding, as well as planned bonding
and existing public funds. The status of such plans and funding sources must be
considered in any review of concurrency. Developer extensions and or dedications,
latecomer agreements, oversizing agreements, and the creation of local improvement
districts may all be considered. In the event of a new funding source, however, concurrency

The existing home on this site is currently served by an onsite septic system. This system
shall be abandoned per Thurston County Health Department standards, and the residence
connected to City sewer service.
There is an existing sewerline located on Vancil Road. Connection to this sewerline is
subject to a latecomers agreement in the amount of $496.16. The sewerline shall be
extended through the development to serve the proposed dwellings.
Drainage/Stormwater:
The completed project will increase impervious surfaces on the site and adjacent streets.
Impervious surfaces create stormwater runoff. Uncontrolled and untreated stormwater
runoff can create health and safety hazards. The City of Yelm requires all development to
comply with the Stormwater Manual for the control and treatment of stormwater runoff.
Page 4 of 8
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 City Stormwater Manual requires
the applicant to submit a final plan consistent with the final impervious calculations for the
site.
Stormwater facilities require continued maintenance to ensure they remain in proper working
condition.
Street Lighting:
Adequate street lighting is necessary to provide safety to pedestrians, vehicles, and
homeowners. Street lighting is reviewed to assure adequate lighting.
Subdivision Name and Addressing:
The proposed plat name of Autumn Hill Phase II has been reserved with Thurston County.
Addressing is approved by the Community Development Department prior to final plat
application.
State Environmental Policy Act:
The applicant submitted a completed environmental checklist. The City performed an
environmental review and issued a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance on April 23,
2004.
The MDNS included analysis and findings, with conditions of approval. Mitigating conditions
include improvements to Vancil Road, traffic facilities charge, open space, and enter into an
agreement with Yelm Community Schools to mitigate impacts to the School District.
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 the applicant to provide on-site landscaping for all
development proposals.
The site is adjacent to properties that are compatibly zoned. Chapter 17.80 requires that the
perimeter of the site be landscaped with a Type II landscaping. In residential subdivisions
the city allows fencing to meet the landscaping requirement for the perimeter of the site.
Landscape requirements shall be installed and approved prior to application for final plat.
Landscaping is required in open space and above ground stormwater facilities.
YMC Chapter 17.80 requires that at time of civil plan review and approval the applicant
provide the Community Development Department a detailed final landscape and irrigation
plan for approval.

Proposal: The applicant is proposing to subdivide approximately 5.94 acres into 23 single-
family residential lots. The property is zoned R-4 Low Density Residential, which allows up to 4
dwelling units per acre. The site currently has an existing home that will be situated on one of
the new lots.
Location: The property is located on Vancil Road, South of Yelm Ave. E. The property is
identified by Assessor's Tax Parcel Number 22730420200.
Description of Property: The subject property is bound on the north and across the street to
the east by a residential subdivision, to the south by Autumn Hill Phase I subdivision, and to the
west by asingle-family residence.
Notice of Application, SEPA, and Public Hearing: Notice of this application was mailed to
state and local agencies, and property owners within 300 feet of the project site on Apri12,

The City has performed an environmental review and issued a Mitigated Determination of
Nonsignificance on April 23, 2004, with a comment deadline of May 7, 2004, and an appeal
deadline of May 14, 2004.
Staff Analysis
Lots Size and Setbacks:
The R-4 zoning district does not have a minimum or maximum lot size, although it does
require standard yard setbacks of 15 feet from the front property line adjacent to local
access road (with a minimum 20 foot driveway approach), 5 feet from side property lines
(with a minimum of 12 feet between the two side yards), and 25 feet from the rear property
line. The setback on a flanking yard is 15 feet from the property lines.
For traffic safety, and sight distance, driveway Locations on corner lots should have specific
locations.
The lots within the proposed preliminary subdivision appear to contain sufficient area to
meet setback and lot coverage requirements.
Adjacent Land Uses and Zoning:
The property is bordered to the north, east and south by completed residential subdivisions.
The properties to the east are in Thurston County, and currently in residential use.
The plat as conditioned meets City of Yelm development requirements, and is a compatible
use with surrounding properties.
Open Space:
The Growth Management Act establishes a goal for open space and recreation that states
"encourage the retention of open space and development of recreational opportunities,
conserve fish and wildlife habitat, increase access to natural resource lands and water, and
develop parks" [RCW 36.70A.020(9)].
Chapter 14.12 YMC provides guidelines for the retention and creation of open space within
the City. This chapter requires a minimum of five percent of the gross area be dedicated as
open space. Chapter 14 YMC lists attributes for qualification of open space. One of the
attributes listed is environmental interpretation or other education.
The applicant proposes to provide the required amount of open space, to be improved with
a basketball court.
Schools:
New residential units create a demand for additional school services and facilities. The
Yelm School District requests that the applicant enter into an agreement with the school
district for the payment of mitigation fees based on the project's impact.
Page 2 of 8
This request for a mitigation agreement between the applicant and the school district
became a mitigation measure of the Environmental Determination.
Transportation and Site Access:
The City of Yelm Development Guidelines require all new developments, including
subdivisions, improve street frontages to current standards. Vancil Road is a neighborhood
collector, which requires a 16-foot drive lane, vertical curb, a 7-foot planter strip with street
trees 35 feet on center, a 5-foot sidewalk, and "No Parking" signs installed. Street lighting
shall be as required by the City Engineer.
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 access to such unplatted property in
accordance with the Yelm Transportation Plan." The plat, as proposed, meets this standard
by continuing Umtanum Street SE from the Autumn Hill Phase I subdivision.
Sight distance at intersections is important for traffic and pedestrian safety. The applicant
shall provide on the face of the plat, and in the Covenants and Restrictions for the
development, verbage to regulate fencing on corner lots to allow for proper sight distance.
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 transportation system. A single family home generates 1.01 p.m. peak hour trips
per ~..anit. The Transportation Facility Charge per unit is $757.50 and payable at time of
building permit issuance.
Parking:
Chapter 17.72, Off-Street Parking and Loading, requires minimum parking ratio of two
spaces per dwelling unit.
The lots within the proposed subdivision allows sufficient area for 2 parking spaces while
meeting the maximum lot coverage of 75%.
Water:
The City's Water Comprehensive Plan identifies a portion of the City area for service. The
City is pursuing additional land areas for approval and the extension of facilities.
Completion of such activities is dependent on grant and developer funding, as well as
planned bonding and existing public funds. The status of such plans and funding sources
must be considered in any review of concurrency. Developer extensions and or dedications,
latecomer agreements, oversizing agreements, and the creation of local improvement
districts may all be considered. In the event of a new funding source, however, concurrency
is not found until the funding source is in fact in place - e.g. award of a grant, a binding letter
commitment for third parting funding, or the successful formation of a local improvement
district. Any necessary water rights are considered, only after approved for municipal use by
the Washington State Department of Ecology, or appropriate appeals board, and the time
for appeal or challenge has expired.
Page 3 of 8
There is an existing watermain located on Vancil Road. Connection to this watermain is
subject to a latecomers agreement in the amount of $1,754.98. The watermain shall be
extended through the development to serve the proposed dwellings.
The proposed site would be required to connect to the City's water system. The
development's internal roadways will be required to have a water main installed to serve fire
hydrants and home services. This development will be required to connect the water
system at the "dead end" street located on the south boundary and on Vancil Rd.
The existing home is currently served by a private well. The well shall be decommissioned
per Department of Ecology standards. Any water rights associated with this well shall be
dedicated to the City of Yelm.
The City of Yelm is dedicated to providing the best quality water possible to its consumers.
Section 246-290-490, Washington Administrative Code, requires that the City take
measures to ensure that contamination does not occur as a result of cross contamination.
An irrigation meter may be installed for the purpose of irrigation. A backflow prevention
device will be required for all landscape irrigation connections. Any irrigation system
installed will need to have a back flow prevention device between the irrigation system and
the city owned water meter. This also includes any private irrigation systems that may be
located on each home lot.
Wastewater:
The city's Sewer Comprehensive Plan identifies a portion of the City area for service. The
City is pursuing additional land areas or approval and the extension of facilities. Completion
of such activities is dependent on grant and developer funding, as well as planned bonding
and existing public funds. The status of such plans and funding sources must be
considered in any review of concurrency. Developer extensions and or dedications,
latecomer agreements, oversizing agreements, and the creation of local improvement
districts may all be considered. In the event of a new funding source, however, concurrency
is not found until the funding source is in fact in place - e.g. award of a grant, a binding letter
commitment for third parting funding, or the successful formation of a local improvement
district.
The existing home on this site is currently served by an onsite septic system. This system
shall be abandoned per Thurston County Health Department standards, and the residence
connected to City sewer service.
There is an existing sewerline located on Vancil Road. Connection to this sewerline is
subject to a latecomers agreement in the amount of $496.16. The sewerline shall be
extended through the development to serve the proposed dwellings.
Drainage/Stormwater:
The completed project will increase impervious surfaces on the site and adjacent streets.
Impervious surfaces create stormwater runoff. Uncontrolled and untreated stormwater
runoff can create health and safety hazards. The City of Yelm requires all development to
comply with the Stormwater Manual for the control and treatment of stormwater runoff.
Page 4 of 8
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 City Stormwater Manual requires
the applicant to submit a final plan consistent with the final impervious calculations for the
site.
Stormwater facilities require continued maintenance to ensure they remain in proper working
condition.
Street Lighting:
Adequate street lighting is necessary to provide safety to pedestrians, vehicles, and
homeowners. Street lighting is reviewed to assure adequate lighting.
Subdivision Name and Addressing:
The proposed plat name of Autumn Hill Phase II has been reserved with Thurston County.
Addressing is approved by the Community Development Department prior to final plat
application.
State Environmental Policy Act:
The applicant submitted a completed environmental checklist. The City performed an
environmental review and issued a Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance on April 23,
2004.
The MDNS included analysis and findings, with conditions of approval. Mitigating conditions
include improvements to Vancil Road, traffic facilities charge, open space, and enter into an
agreement with Yelm Community Schools to mitigate impacts to the School District.
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 the applicant to provide on-site landscaping for all
development proposals.
The site is adjacent to properties that are compatibly zoned. Chapter 17.80 requires that the
perimeter of the site be landscaped with a Type II landscaping. In residential subdivisions
the city allows fencing to meet the landscaping requirement for the perimeter of the site.
Landscape requirements shall be installed and approved prior to application for final plat.
Landscaping is required in open space and above ground stormwater facilities.
YMC Chapter 17.80 requires that at time of civil plan review and approval the applicant
provide the Community Development Department a detailed final landscape and irrigation
plan for approval
Page 5 of 8
Section 17.80.090(F) YMC states that the owner/developer of any project requiring site plan
review approval, subdivision approval, or short subdivision approval shall provide a performance
assurance device in order to provide for maintenance of the required landscaping until the
tenant or homeowners' association becomes responsible for landscaping maintenance. The
performance assurance device shall be 150 percent of the anticipated cost to maintain the
landscaping for three years.

ATTACHMENT
SEPA Case Number 04-0036
Findings of Fact
1. This Mitigated Determination of Non Significance is based on the project as proposed and the
impacts and potential mitigation measures reflected in the following environmental documents:
• Environmental Checklist (dated March 29, 2004, prepared by John Lubbesmeyer)
• Preliminary Storm Drainage Report (dated February 2004, prepared by 2M Enterprises, LLC)
2. 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 may be 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 City's Comprehensive Transportation Plans connectivity policy recognizes that increasing
connections throughout the City not only reduces traffic congestion, but also increases the sense
of unity of the community. Section 16.16.090 Yelm Municipal Code (YMC) states that the layout
of streets shall provide for continuation of streets existing in adjoining subdivisions.
The continuation of Umtanum Street in the Autumn Hill Phase I subdivision meets the
connectivity policies of the City.
3. Chapter 14.12 YMC requires the dedication of open space for all residential development.
Section 14.12.050 YMC lists four (4) attributes for qualification of open space. The applicant
proposes open space to include recreation.
4. 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.
Mitigation Measures
1. 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. Credit should be given for the
existing single-family dwelling.
2. Prior to final subdivision approval, the developer shall complete the following transportation
improvements:
a. The west half of Vancil Road shall be improved to City Standards for a Neighborhood
Collector along the property frontage.
b. All interior streets shall be improved to City Standards for Local Access Residential.
3. Temporary erosion control systems to be approved by the City of Yelm.
4. Applicant shall provide at least 5% of total acreage as qualified open space.
5. The developer shall enter into an agreement with Yelm Community Schools to mitigate project
impacts to the School District.

Thank you for the opporhmity to comment on the mitigated determination of nonsignificance for
the Autun-m Hill Phase II project (SEPA No. 04-0036) located at 10831 Vancil Road Southeast as
proposed by Landshapes Northwest, Inc. We reviewed the environmental checklist and have the
following comments:
The subject property is near the Yelm Rite Aid, at Vancil Road and SR-507, which was
remediated under the Voluntary Cleanup Program. Testing revealed no ground water
contamination. However, contaminants may be present at the site of the proposed action. If
contamination is discovered, it must be reported to the Department of Ecology, Southwest
Regional Office, at (360)407-6300. Contaminated soils or water may require special handling
and/or disposal to protect site workers, visitors, public health, or the environment. For
assistance contact Martha Maggi at (360) 407-6248.
If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments please call Martha Maggi
