'lGVN OF YELM PLANNIN:; CXH1ITrEE MEETIN:;
Tuesday, March 17, 1987
4:00 P.M., Yelm City Hall Council Chambers
Visitors present included Jim Harding and R1Ch Harris.
There was much discussion regarding theplaceIrent of an addition for Harding
Greens. Due to the fact that the petroleum line runs along the east
boundary of his property, the addition must be placed elsewhere for the present.
Me. Harding and Gene Borges, Building Official will work together to come
up with the best location and size of the addition/lean-to. All ordinances
and zoning set-back requirements will be met.
c
Gene reported that the mobile home subdivision ordinance is coming along
well and will be presented to the Planning Committee for their review
soon. Gene encouraged all Planning Committee members to call our senators
on SSB 5768, a bill which preempts local zoning control on the location
of mobile homes. If passed, cities would no longer have the option
to restrict mobile homes to mobile home parks and would require mobile
homes to be regulated the same as conventional "stick built" residences
on lots of 8,000 square feet or less. P.C. members will call with their
opposition to the bill.
The Planning Committee discussed several options for an addition on
the corner of McKenzie Court and Longmire Street. Rich Harris would
like to add a family room and garage to his existing single family res-
idence. Gene and Mr. Harris will set up a workable solution to comply
with all zoning set-back requirements.
Gene informed the committee that Chauncey Lufkin is resigning from the
Planning Committee, a new representative from the Industrial Area will
be added. Also, Gary Vallandingham will be approached in regards to
resigning, due to non-participation. The committee discussed possible
replacements to represent retail. The members will report back with
any interested citizens.
The site plan for the new Puget Sound National Bank was discussed, ment-
ioning that sidewalks, landscaping, etc. will be required in accordance
wlth Yelm's DowntovVl1 Revltalization.
c
Also, a discussion on the old 7th Day Adventist Church building which
is located on Yelm Ave. & 103rd. With the new Prairie Security Bank
being built on the site, there is a chance that the building can be
moved. An approximate moving cost/new foundation will be $18,000.
1be buildlng possibly may be moved to the site near the police station
for use as a library/museum with help from outside funding sources.
(State Office of Historic Preservatlon, etc.) Due to the lack of time
(building must be gone in 90 days), Gene Sharratt moved to have the
c
Town actively pursue the moving of the building to the site near the
Yelm Police Station (including outside funding), with a second by Jim
Keyes.
A generic ordinance on historic preservation making Yelm a "Certified
Local Government" will be presented to the City Council in draft form
to better educate all on becoming a C.L.G. (duties, powers, etc.).
****The m:mthly Planning Committee meetings will be changed to the 1st
Tuesday of each month. Next meeting date - Tuesday, April 7, 1987.
The meeting adjourned at 5:30 P.M.

4 :00 P.M., Yelm City Hall Council Chambers
The rreeting was called to order at 4: 08 P.M.
Mom1bers present were as follows: Gene Borges, Roberta Longmire, Jim
Brown, Martha. Parsons, Tim Schlosser, Tom Gorman and Kathy Wolf.
The minutes of the January 20, 1987 rreeting were approved.
ITEM3:
A. Kolilis Mobile Harre Subdivision request:
After much discussion, the Plillming Corrmittee sees nothing wrong with
Mr. Kolilis' s request, but he must wait W1til the new zoning ordinance
is complete and will have to follow all provisions of the new nobile
home subdivision section of the ordinance.
o
B. New Zoning Ordinance:
Gene Borges rr.a.de a request to the Plillming Corrmittee that he and Randall
Walker, Town Attorney, prepare a draft of the zoning ordinance and then
submit it back to the Plillming Corrrnittee along with the supporting doc-
urrents used to prepare it. The Planning Corrmittee would then review
the draft, add cOITIrents and/or changes. No objection fran the rrembers.
C. The Planning Corrrnittee discussed some of the items to be considered
when drafting the nobile home subdivision section of the zoning ordinance:
Le., size of lot, garages or carports, setbacks, square footage of
mobile harre, pitched and/or canposition roofs, overhang, landscaping,
drainage, fire-flow, pit set and/or ,permanent foundations. The feeling
of the Planning Corrrnittee is to allow mobile home sul:xiivisions but with
detailed s,pecifications so as to protect land value and surroW1ding
land values.
D. Discussed the possibility of the Town working together with private
individuals/develo,pers to extend watennains with the Town owning the
water line upon canpletion. The Plillming Corrrnittee supports the concept
of using shared costs, but a set of guidelines will be needed to be
used by all.
E. Circuit Rider Pilot Program:
Mr. Borges infonred the Planning Corrmittee that Yelm will be in support
of the pilot; program. For $2,000, the Town can receive technical assist-
ance to help prepare packets for a loan to upgrade our water system
and a grant for a future sewer system.
The rreeting adjourned at 5: 20 P.M.

The minutes of the December 16, 1986 ITeeting were approved on\a motion \
by Tom Gorman, second by Jim Keyes. Motion carried.
Members present included: Jim Keyes, Gene Borges, Jim Brown, Martha
Parsons, Roberta Longmire, Kathy Wolf, Tom Gorman & Tim Schlosser.
DESIGN CXMrrTT:EE REPORl': TCM GORMAN
Tom Gorman showed the Planning Committee a layout that the Design Corrm-
ittee has been working on to achieve a rraster plan for pedestrian lights,
benches and trees for Cbwntown Revitalization. The Design Corrrnittee
is working towards a design that the community will be aware of and
agrees with. Gene Borges will bring slides to the next Planning Corrm-
ittee meeting of other downtown projects, so as the corrmittee can view
what can be done as far as the placing of lights, benches and trees.
c
EMERALD DEVELOPMENl' CO.: GENE BORGES
The corrmittee reviewed a parking variance request by Evergreen Develop-
ment Co. (who will be developing the 20-unit elderly housing project
on Killion Road). The Yelm Ordinance currently calls for 2 parking
spaces per each dwelling unit for a multi-family complex, the variance
request asks for 1 space per unit, plus 5 for visitors (25 total).
PLANNING COMMITTEE'S RECOMMENDATION 'TO CITY COUNCIL:
To give a parking variance for the Killion Court Apartments (20-unit
elderly housing) of 32 parking spaces or the number of parking spaces
at the Rainier Apartments (also 20-units), whichever is greater.
Gene also informed the committee of the short-plat request of the Edwards
property (for above Killion Court Apartments project). The short -plat
divides the one parcel of land into two parcels, the srraller one will
be approximately 2.4 acres facing Killion Road to be used for the 20-unit
complex. The Planning Committee had no objection to the short-plat above.
URBAN ARl'ERIAL BOARD FUNDllG: GENE BORGES
rrhe Town of Yelm has been placed on the U .A.B. funding list to
possibly receive funding for 2 different projects:
1. Rhoton & Railway Road ($320,000)
2. North 1st Street to Hwy. 510 ($200,000)
Before July 1, 1987, the Town will apply for and request funding for
the design of either project; if awarded the funds, construction money
would be available July 1, 1988.
The Planning Committee discussed the possibility or using a cooperative..
system in the installing of some waterline extensions, where the cost
is shared by the property owner and the Town.
c
YELM CITY PARK: GENE BORGES
Mr. Borges updated the Corrmittee on the work being done at the Yelm
City Park. The two buildings will be replaced, with construction begin-
ning very soon. Gene has been working with the Yelm High School F.F.A.
class as they will be building the trusses for at least one of the build-
ings. Yelm will be holding an annual 3-day Kiwanis National Horseshoe
Pitchers Tournament and one of the new buildings will be designed so
(-<\
.~
it will have a covered area for the tournament. Gene will be checking
with Frill1k Kirkbride (Architect for the Yelm Comprehensive Park Plan)
to make sure that the advisory corrmi ttee 's plan and the Towns' coincide.
THURS'IDN CCXJNrY pro.JEX::TS AND PROPOSALS: JIM KEYES
Mr. Keyes read three proposals from Thurston County Regional Plill1ning:
1. Goodward property
2. Old funeral home short-plat
3. A 21-unit rrobile hOITe park off Cemetary & Cook Roads
The committee had no objections to the above projects.
Jim Keyes informed the corrmittee that he has been hired to prepare a
plat for the Swrrise Vista Mobile Home property, so as the parcels may
be sold as lots. Since the Town has no ordinance on rrobile home sub-
divisions, the request will have to go to the City Council as a variill1ce.
Gene told all that effective February 1, 1987, Jeff Weir will be working
with the building department, street and water departments to become
certified in different areas. He will be working through State Depart-
ITent of Labor and Industries where they pay his salary for one year.
Martha Parsons rroved to adjourn the ITeeting at 5:40 P.M., second by
Roberta Longmire. Meeting adjourned.
