Letter addressed to Planning Committee from Michael Cuyler, North

furniture manufacturing business from 205 North 1st Street to old
Barnard's Building, 108 Yelm Avenue West. Committee felt this was

building up to code.

residential. Although the basis for computing commercial and
residential taxes vary there would be little or no tax reduction
as the result of changing commercial to residential because the
value of surrounding commercial property would impact the parcels
in question.
Mr. & Mrs. Rothwell and C.W. Gray were present to hear any
information available on how the zoning of their property became
commercial. Old Planning Committee maps showed parcels in
question as "potential commercial." However, the 1985
Comprehensive Plan identified the property as commercial. When
the Town Council approved Yelm Zoning Ordinance No. 346 and the
Comprehensive Plan the property became commercial.

NOVEMBER 21, 1989
YELM CITY HALL
The Yelm Planning Committee meeting was called to order by Chair
Kathy Wolf at 4:05 P.M.
Members Present: Kathy Wolf, Tim Schlosser, John Kinnee, Tom
Cundy, Roberta Longmire, Tom Gorman, Dick Molter sitting in for
Addie Thacker, staff members Gene Borges and Agnes Colombo and
guests Amos Lawton, Darlene Rothwell, C.W. and Ernestine Gray and
Ron Clarke representing Washington Manufactured Housing
Association.
Agenda changes: item 7, Northwind Woodworks business request and
item 8, Kitchen annexation request were moved to the top of the
agenda so interested parties would not have to sit through the
entire meeting.
September 19, 1989 Minutes: Tom Gorman moved that minutes be
accepted as printed, seconded John Kinnee. Motion approved.
Letter received on November 15, from Michael J. Cuyler requesting
approval to locate North Wind Woodworks, a small scale furniture
building and assembly operation, at 205 North First St. 90% of
their products are shipped unfinished and those that are finished
on site have a natural oil finish.

Thurston County Planning Department reviewed the annexation
request by James Kitchen and feel it isn't consistent with Policy
2 or the integrity of boundaries or services and would result in
a "County Island", with 700 feet of Coats Street to be maintained
by the County.
Thurston Co. Planning Department believes it would be
advantageous to hold the Kitchen annexation request until a
larger area could be annexed. Also possible to approach the
higher valued parcels within the island so that you could have
sufficient value to bring in all of the island together with all
of Coats Street.
c
Staff member, Borges will speak with Jim Kitchen to find out his
preference in pursuing the matter. Tom Gorman moved that the
Planning Committee follow staff recommendation in this matter,
seconded Kathy Wolf. Approved.
Ron Clark, Washington State Manufactured Housing Association made
his presentation. Manufactured housing can provide low cost
shelter to those being priced out of the new home market.
Quality is controlled through SHB 1690 which defines designated
manufactured homes meeting federal standards required by HUD.
After the presentation and a question and answer period Chair
Kathy Wolf polled the committee to see if they had any suggested
changes or thoughts as per the current Yelm policy. Members felt
it better to spend time reflecting on new information.
Borges told committee a request was received to build storage
units on 2nd Street commercial property adjacent to location
where new Catholic church is under construction.
c
Mr. and Mrs. Gray and Darlene Rothwell requested permission to
address the committee. Both Rothwell and the Gray's reside on
Yelm Avenue West in what is currently believed to be a
commercially zoned area. It is their belief that having their
property rezoned to residential will result in a lower tax
assessment. They also stated they were not in favor of the
rezone that designated their property commercial as they plan to
retire and maintain homes at present addresses.
Committee requested staff send letter to Thurston Co. Assessor's
Office for their views on what effect a zone change to
residential would have on the taxes for the Rothwell and Gray
property. Committee also invited parties to next meeting on
December 19, (3rd Tuesday) when Geoff Moore, Pac. Tech.,
will be available with information on zoning in place prior to
1986 city hall fire.
Darlene Rothwell would like to see the walking path extended from
the Yelm Vetinary Clinic to Southworth School. Borges suggested
she contact the state in writing with copies to Thurston County
Commissioners.

Tim Schlosser moved the meeting be adjourned at 5:45 P.M.,

TOWN OF YELM PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING
Tuesday, September 19, 1989, 4:00 PM, Yelm City Hall
The meeting was called to order by Chair Kathy Wolf at 4:00
PM. Members present: Kathy Wolf, Jim Brown, Tom Gorman, Jim
Keyes, John Kinnee, Tim Schlosser, Roberta Longmire and
Martha Parsons. George Knight was out of town. Staff:
Shelly Badger and Gene Borges.
The Lawton request, 1210 Thurston Court, was added to the
agenda. The minutes of the August 15th meeting were approved
by a unanimous vote of the committee.
Planning Committee members were informed of the "Third Annual
Planning and Zoning Institute" to be held October 6 and 7,
1989 in Tacoma. Any interested members are to contact Shelly
at Yelm City Hall.
(\
~
A variance request was received from Francis and Nancy
Lawton, 1210 Thurston Court to place 1-2 female dairy goats
on their property zoned single-family residential due to milk
allergies of their children. A pediatrician has recommended
that goat milk would increase the health of the children.
Tim Schlosser moved to recommend to the Yelm Town Council to
deny the variance request to place a goat on the property at
1210 Thurston Court NW due to the fact that it is not
situated in a residential-agricultural zone, second by Jim
Keyes. Motion carried.
Updates were provided to the Yelm Planning Committee on City
Council action from the PC's August 15th recommendations:
1. Yelm Fabricating and Welding business license was
approved with conditions as per Planning Committee
recommendation.
2. Yelm Bike Shop/Snapp variance request was approved by the
Yelm Town Council as per Planning Committee recommendation.
3. Rothwell zoning issue: Staff is continuing their
research on the zoning status of this property.
Rothwell Mobile Home Replacement: Planning Committee was
polled by mail in regards to their recommendation on
replacing an existing mobile home at 1017 Yelm Ave. W with a
1990 28' X 60' new mobile home. Six Planning Committee
members responded: Roberta Longmire, Tim Schlosser and Tom
Gorman voted no, Jim Brown and Addie Thacker voted yes and
Kathy Wolf requested a legal interpretation of the present
mobile home ordinance.
c
The Yelm Town Council, at their September 13, 1989 regular
meeting voted unanimously to grant Steve & Darlene Rothwell a
"Conditional Use Permit", as per Yelm Municipal Code 17.44,
c
to replace the existing mobile home with a 1990 28' X 60'
mobile home, to be pit set upon installation.
Much discussion followed by the Planning Committee on the
interpretation of the mobile home ordinance, which does not
specifically address the replacement of a non-conforming
mobile home. Planning Committee's recommendation is that the
City Council clarify and interpret the ordinance. Staff will
prepare samples to present to the Council, for their action,
that will clarify and explain present ordinances.
The Planning Committee was also polled by mail on a proposed
boundary line adjustment at the corner of Edwards and Stevens
Street northeast of Yelm Middle School. Those responding had
no objection to the property owner proceeding with the
boundary line adjustment application process.
Yelm/Thurston County Joint Planning Committee Public Forum:
Tom Gorman informed the Planning Committee, that due to
unexpected and overwhelming interest, the public forum had to
be rescheduled to Thursday, September 21, 1989 at 7:00 PM at
the Yelm High School Little Theater. The Joint Committee
dispelled the rumor that the planning area being considered
for County zoning was also an area that the Town of Yelm
wished to annex into the town limits.
c
Next meeting of the Yelm Planning Committee will be Tuesday,
October 17, 1989 at 4:00 PM at Yelm City Hall.
Meeting adjourned at 5:22 PM.

Tuesday, August 15, 1989, 4:00 PM, Yelm City Hall
The meeting was called to order by Chair Kathy Wolf at 4:05 PM. Members
present: Jim Brown, Tim Schlosser, Jim Keyes, George Knight, Roberta
Longmire, Kathy Wolf, Tom Gorman, Martha Parsons and Tom Cundy. Staff:
Shelly Badger, Daisy Lawton and Gene Borges. Visitors: Danny & Melanie
Snapp, Michael Cooper, Steve & Darlene Rothwell, John R. Brown, Mary Dixon
and Doyle Gallagher.
The minutes of the July 18, 1989 meeting were approved on a motion by
Roberta Longmire, second by Jim Brown. Motion carried.
Gordon White, representative from Thurston Regional Planning Council, was
present to explain the purpose of TRPC and the planning services they
provide to all cities within Thurston County. He explained and presented
Planning Cornnittee members with copies of "The Profile", a statistical
handbook for all of Thurston County prepared by TRPC.
He presented many statistics reflecting Thurston County's growth on a
national and state level. Forecasts for the Yelm/Rainier planning sub-
area reflect growth from 11,000-12,000 people in 1989 to 22,000 people in
the year 2010.
c
Yelm Fabricating ~ Welding: A request to operate a welding & fabricating
shop at 205 1st Street N. was made by John R. Brown. Staff
recommendation: The property is situated in a commercial zone and the use
can be determined a "similar use" permitted upon approval by the Yelm
Planning Committee and Town Council. Staff stated that the business would
be a good transition between the Commercial and Industrial zones. Mr.
Brown expressed that there would be no welding of car frames, large
equipment, etc. and no manufacturing. The use will be similar to a "job
shop", with no additional noise other than an air compressor.
Roberta Longmire moved to recommend to the Town Council the issuance of a
business license to operate "Yelm Fabricating & Welding" at 205 1st St. N,
stating those uses not permitted as a condition of the business license,
second by George Knight. Motion carried. As a variance is not required,
staff can and will telephone poll the Council for the approval/denial
based on the Planning Committee's recommendation.
c
Yelm Bike Shop request: Danny & Melanie Snapp were present to request
approval to construct a "carpenter shop" addition to their present
business situated at 1308 Yelm Ave. E. Staff could not give approval
because the request does not conform to present ordinances in regards to
yard setbacks. The request is to add to the present building leaving a
5'4" rear setback, Yelm Zoning Ordinance #346 requires a 20' rear yard
setback. Mr. Snapp stated the east side wall of the bike shop has a fire
wall and he would construct the addition so the rear wall met fire wall
standards. Planning Committee asked if parking would be adequate for the
type of use, after initial research it seems that there would be
sufficient parking.
After further discussion, Tim Schlosser moved to recommend to the Yelm
c
Town Council to grant Danny & Melanie Snapp a variance to cons truct a
"carpenter shop" addition to the Yelm Bike Shop at 1308 Yelm Ave. E
leaving a westerly side setback of 5'4" and a rear setback of 5'4", second
by George Knight. Motion carried. Also required before the Town Council
makes a decision regarding the variance is written approval from the
property owners to the north (Creek Street Apartments) for the 5' 4" rear
setback.
Steve & Darlene Rothwell were present to ask the Planning Committee for
their input regarding zoning on Yelm Ave. W. They were quite concerned
with the commercial zoning designation for their residence and the effect
it has with the Thurston County Assessor's Office. The Planning Committee
requested additional time to research the present zone in that location
and asked the Rothwells to request from Thurston County (in writing) what
the assessed value would be if the zoning designation was changed from
commercial to residential.
Yelm Avenue traffic emergency: The Planning Corrmittee was advised of the
Yelm Town Council I s request for a resolution declaring a "traffic
emergency" along Yelm Avenue (SR 507/510). The resolution will declare an
emergency and ask the State Department of Transportation to make
suggestions on ways to improve the problem.
c
Peti tion for Annexation - Rick Kolilis: Jim Keyes moved to recommend to
the Yelm Town Council to approve of the " intent to begin annexation
proceedings" received from Frederick & Beverly Kolilis, second by Tim
Schlosser. Motion carried. The property is contiguous to Yelm's city
limits and lies north of the Sunrise Vista Mobile Home Park.
Thurston County Planning Department transmittals regarding current plat
and short plat applications were reviewed.
The Planning Committee was advised of the August 23, 1989 Public Hearing
on the Yelm Wastewater Facilities Plan and the September 11, 1989 meeting
of the Yelm/Thurston County Joint Planning Committee.
Meeting adjourned at 5: 45 PM.

Energy Outreach Center representative Lyle Tribwell presented
Economic Benefits Study slide show, a summary of the Lacey,
Olympia, Tumwater and Thurston County Solar Access Project. The
presentation and material provided demonstrated that street
orientation is the major factor affecting the use of solar
features in convential houses. Conditions that influence
successful solar planning and use such as street orientation, sub
division design and solar access protection can be controlled by
ordinances.
Other services provided by Energy Outreach Center are loan/rental
of materials and equipment and comparisons of heating systems.
For a fee of $50 they will evaluate and suggest design changes to
building plans that will improve energy efficiency.
Zoning recommendations to forward to Joint Planning Committee
were discussed. A Mountain View Road resident felt that changes
allowing residential/multi-family zoning in that area was not
suitable because of the distance from stores/services.
Also discussed for possible residential/multi-family was
north of 103rd which has good access to services. It is
that this change will be recommended by the Joint
Committee at the July 3 meeting.

Dick's Food Center sign request: Yelm Municipal Code states
that a legal nonconforming sign (a sign existing as of the
effective date of Sign Ordinance #324 which does not conform
to the specific provisions of the ordinance) may remain until
January 1, 1994, at which time the sign shall be removed or
made to conform to the ordinance. Dick's Food Center
requested of the Planning Committee to replace the two legal
nonconforming signs (on Yelm Avenue East and West) with new
ones. Staff recommendation is to allow the signs to be
replaced as the new signs will be of higher quality and
visual appeal. The standard review and permit process would
need to be followed.
Tom Gorman moved to recommend to the Town Council to approve
the request, subject to review by the Yelm Building
Department (including permit process) and that the square
footage of the new signs not exceed that of the present
signs. Also, subj ect to the maintenance requirements as
established by Yelm Sign Ordinance #324 and section 15.24.120
