Public Comments:
Julie McCloud 1013 Crystal Sprin~s Street NW. Felt that a fence was
needed between McCloud property and plat. McClouds hold ceremonies and
dances on their property and have experienced problems with complaints
in the past. She expressed concern about seepage from drainfield into
their well and garden. A letter from Janet McCloud, who could not
attend due to illness, was given to the commission. When asked for
information about where the proceeding went next, McCloud was told to
the council and that meetings were public. McCloud was provided with
the time and dates of counc i I meet ings and phone number for any
questions
Huddleston explained that there was no threat to McClouds from the
septic and that he would be willing to discuss a mutual arrangement
for putting up a fence
Mark Ziebell 1307 Crystal Sprin~s Street NW' Questioned Environmental
Impact Statement indication that wells would be closed off. It was
explained that existing wells on the proposed plat site would be
closed Ziebell questioned how surrounding wells would be protected
from runoff from the 25 houses, and if safeguards wou I d be put in
place to protect existing wells. Ziebell also questioned the effect
the homes would have on taxes on surrounding property
Schlosser explained that taxes for land and structures were assessed
separately Possibly there would be some impact on value of ground.
House value set on attributes of house only Borges explained that
Ann CI if ton, Thurston Co. Assessor' had explained that zoning was a
determining factor, that R/A would not be affected by change in R-l.
Commission further explained that rezone of his property would not
happen without his request to do so.
Borges also explained that the Health Dept has strict requirements
for the septic system that must be met by the builder and that there
would be no detriment to wells or groundwater

Larry Mellema. 1209 Crystal Sprin~s Street NW. Expressed bel ief that
the Dept. of Ecology would limit what the developer could do. Mellema
considered a portion of the area a wetlands (by definition), any place
fowl inhabi t. Mellema asked if Huddleston had plans to fill in any
portion of the area Huddleston explained that the only area on the
property designated as wetlands is the creek area and that he plans
grading but that fill in is not needed.
Mike Edwards. Prairie Security Bank: Stated he was attending as an
observer to see the commission in action and that it has been
demonstrated by the community that Yelm is looking for some controlled
and managed growth. He also stated that growth always results in
concern from surrounding property owners. He hopes the commission
feels that they are getting good guidance from staff, health dept.
and community and said that the banking field will be looking to see
how they can contribute to goals of community.
Borges questioned Mackie as to how this action fits
explained that 2929 required that the following
determine if the plat was allowable:

would
1. Is it in agreement with Yelm's Comprehensive Plan?
2 Are streets/facilities adequate?
3. Is there evidence of wetlands?
Mackie stated that the plat was in agreement with both Yelm's
Comprehensive Plan and the Thurston County/Yelm Joint Plan as both
encourage infilling (building on available land within the city) to
avoid potential sprawl.
\
J. Mellema. 1209 Crystal Sprin~s Street NW: questioned the adequacy
roads and stated that she has waited for 5 to 10 minutes to enter
traffic on SR510/Yelm Avenue Borges explained that Skillings &
Chamberlain has been selected to perform a traffic study for Yelm and
DOT that should be completed by the end of February. Areas addressed
will be SR507, SR510 and all arterials and feeder streets. The whole
comprehensive traffic plan will be looked at due to SR507/510 being
Interstate 5 alternate under Emergency Management Plan. Mackie added
that this is a state planned activity (traffic study) that will lead
to improvements and that the intersections being questioned were being
operated at a "B" level of service at this time, which indicates a
higher level of congestion but not an emergency situation. A "D" level
of service would indicate that improvements need to be made.

M. Ziebell. 1307 Crystal Sprin~s st. NW requested a copy of the
existing traffic study. Borges said that the material, which shows
hourly level of traffic activity, can be view at city hall Borges

Huddleston indicated that construction in Huntington Greens would
start next summer at the earliest and that the maximum number of homes
allowed on the plat, without the sewer, would be 25 Cundy asked if
his estimation that 18 homes would probably be build and use the
sand/mound septic during an 18 month period. Huddleston acknowledged
that Cundy's estimation was correct. Staff added that building permits
could not be issued without septic approval from the county If the
sewer was not operational permits could not be issued which would
bring construction to a halt.
J. Mellema. 1209 Crystal Sprin~s st. NW: asked if the sewer was
assured. Staff explained that funding was in place, most paperwork
completed but notice to proceed is not in hand and that anything could
happen. If the sewer system did not come about the development could
still be allowed but the final number of lots allowed to be developed
would be reduced.
M. Ziebell. 1307 Crystal Sprin~s St. NW: questioned the need for
rezone if Huddleston plans to develop to maximum legal allowable
development at this t,ime. Borges explained that he requires developer
to provide improvements, streets, utilities, dr~ainage, etc. allowing
for the maximum potential of the property.
Public Hearing Closed and Planning Commission opened at 5'15 P M
Commissioner Joe Huddleston asked about the annexation of the property
on Crystal Springs Street Schlosser explained that staff had
researched and provided copies of the Ordinance (160) and counci I
minutes and that no evidence was found to indicate counci I intent
that the property should be zoned R/A for all time. L Mellema
stated that he doubted very much that you would find it in the
minutes, just I ike the i terns he pointed out from the minutes of the
last meeting and that because it doesn't appear in the minutes doesn't
mean it wasn't said
Mackie explained that commission could make a single motion to deal
with the preliminary plat and rezone They must however consider them
separately. Borges suggested that they look at rezone first then
plat.

that the issue of allowing tents for commercial use had been discussed
in the past. Further explained was that the tent would not be allowed
as it could not meet Unif ied Bui lding Code standards for commercial
structures. Ray then asked if it would be possible to install a
roof/overhang type sturcture. Borges invited her to meet with him to
discuss this Ray thanked the commission for their consideration of
her request.

The meeting was called to order by Chair Tim Schlosser at 4:03 PM. Planning
Commissioners present: Tim Schlosser, Lyle Sundsmo, Roberta Longmire, Joe
Huddleston, James Brown and John Kinnee. Staff: Gene Borges and Shelly
Badger. Visitors: Bonnie Barricklow, Thekla Cameron, Vic Trier, Jeanette
Mellema, Lawrence Mellema, G.M. Sweeney, Janet McCloud, John Huddleston,
Beatrice Scott, Mark Ziebell, Robert Person, Dick Flannigan and Julie Van
Every.
The minutes of the September 17, 1991 Planning Commission meeting were
approved. Motion carried.
Item #7 - request for putt-putt golf course was discussed. vic Trier
presented the Planning Commission with a letter requesting use of commercial
property as a putt-putt golf course. Since this use is not permitted
"outright" within the zoning ordinance, Planning Corrmission action is
required. John Kinnee moved to recommend to the City Council to allow the
use of a putt-putt golf course in a commercially zoned area, subject to all
regulations being met, second by Lyle Sundsmo. Motion carried.
o
At 4:10 PM, the Public Hearing on the J.C.H. Development rezone request to
rezone 12.5 acres west of Crystal Springs St. NW between Crystal and
Queensview Ct. NW from current zoning of residential/agricultural (RA) to
single-family residential (R-1) was opened by Chair Schlosser. Mr.
Schlosser gave a brief explanation of the rezone request stating that
following the Hearing on the rezone, a Hearing on the preliminary plat
proposal to divide the 12.5 acres into 43 lots will be held.
Staff, Gene Borges, stated that due to the fact that the area is within
Yelm's Urban Growth Area, municipal water is available to the site and a
sewer main will be constructed along Crystal Springs St. to provide sewer
service to the site, the area is appropriate for a rezone to single-family
resident ial.
The following comments were heard from the citizens in attendance:
Mark Ziebel, 1307 Crystal Springs St. NW: Concern that increased
development in the area will have a detrimental effect on the existing
private wells in the vicinity. If rezoned and development is allowed, what
will the impact be on the Yelm School District of the increased student
population? Stated that he protested the rezone request to single-family
residential and requested copies of the environmental checklists that have
been prepared for the rezone and preliminary plat.
o
Janet McCloud, 1013 Crystal Springs St. NW: Expressed concern that the
rezone, which would allow for more dense development, would have a
significant effect on the wildlife and Yelm Creek. She asked the Planning
Commission to consider her feelings regarding the sacred land and that they
take the environmental impact into consideration when making their decision.
Stated that she protested the rezone of the property to single-family
residential and dense development of the property.
-1-
o
Julie Van Every, 1013 Crystal Springs St. NW: Asked what increased
development of the property would do to land values in the vicinity. She
expressed concern regarding financial impact to adjacent properties if
values increased due to development. Felt that rezone and development would
decrease the current wildlife and have a detrimental effect on Yelm Creek.
If development occurred, how would septic tanks and drainfields be
installed? Would there be one for each home? She also stated opposition to
the rezone.
Larry Mellema, 1209 Crystal Springs St. NW: Read his letter dated October
8, 1991 to Planning Commission members which states:
"The proposed rezone is in the middle of the buffer that was left for
protection of Yelm Creek and would destroy its integrity. A viable
compromise might be short platting which could be accomplished under
existing zoning. Naturally, those properties along the creek would need
to be larger for environmental reasons."
"This brings us to the primary objection we have to the development
itself. Besides the well shown on the plat, there are at least three
other active private wells surrounding the proposed development. The
introduction of the sewage potential right in the middle of these poses
an extreme environmental hazard."
o
"Another environmental impact has to do with native and migratory fowl
that inhabit and stop on the subject property. It would seem imperative
that a complete environmental impact statement be filed and approved."
He submitted photographs to the Planning Commission of the drainage problems
at his residence claiming that additional water has been created from the
Crystal Springs St. construction project. Expressed a concern that
development would raise the subject property causing drainage problems for
adjacent property owners. Stated that he felt the rezone and/or plat of the
property would create traffic problems.
He requested information from J.C.H. Development on the proximity to the
creek of homes if rezoned and developed. Borges stated that Department of
Ecology would establish the mandatory setbacks when they review the project
through the environmental review process.
Mr. Mellema suggested that the surveys in the area may not be correct
including the subject property. Thought that surveys in the past have been
started from different section corners. Chair Schlosser stated that a
boundary line dispute was not the business of the Planning Commission, but a
civil matter.
o
Gene Borges asked Mr. Mellema if his letter had been mailed to the
Department of Ecology Environmental Review Section and stated that the
environmental checklist and declaration of non-significance had been sent to
the DOE Environmental Review Section by the City: comments are due back by
October 18, 1991 from the regulatory agencies.
Glorla Sweeney, 1212 Crystal Ct. NW: Expressed concern with access to and
from her property. Stated that when Wood Fabricators burned, she was
-2-
o
landlocked. Mr. Borges informed Mrs. Sweeney, that in the past, Wood
Fabricators did not have to build to the same fire/safety standards that are
currently mandated.
Jeanette Mellema, 1209 Crystal Springs St. NW: When annexation of their
property to Yelm occurred, it was her understanding that the property WJuld
remain residential/agricultural (RA).
Vic Trier, 8547 Thuja Ave. SE: Thought that Mr. Huddleston should be made
aware of the concerns of adjacent property owners.
John Huddleston, representing J.C.H. Development Co. gave a brief overview
of the proposed rezone. Prior to the fonnal submittal of the request to
rezone, Mr. Huddleston met with the City of Yelm, Department of Ecology and
Thurston County Health Department to learn of the regulations that WJuld
have to be followed. He stated that he is very concerned with Yelm Creek
and the impact of development on water quality. In his meetings with
Thurston County, it was suggested that, if rezoned and developed, the plat
WJuld require that septic tanks be installed that will meet the
specifications of Yelm's S'IEP sewer system. No individual drainfields would
be allowed, lines WJuld be brought to a community drainfield where treatment
WJuld occur until Yelm's sewer system was activated. He stated that the
corrmunity drainfield WJuld be at least 600' from Yelm Creek and that many
present fields are closer than that. He stated that soil studies have been
done and an environmental checklist prepared for the rezone.
o
Gene Borges stated that the environmental checklist and DNS have been
forwarded to the Department of Ecology and Thurston County for review and
comment. Comments due back October 18, 1991. If rezoned and development
occurred, initially 25 lots WJuld be allowed until Yelm's sewer system was
on-line, at that point the remaining 18 lots could be developed (all pending
approval of preliminary plat).
Chair Schlosser informed the public of the Yelm/Thurston County Joint
Planning process and the approval of the Urban Growth Management Boundary.
Stating that the area proposed for rezone is within the urban growth area of
Yelm and that the plan allows urban development when services are available.
The State House Bill 2929 (Growth Management Act) passed in 1990 requires
that cities designate urban areas and allow for development within those
(when services are available).
Public Hearing was closed at 5:25 PM.
Chair Schlosser informed the Commission of their options regarding action on
the rezone request:

understanding that the property owners (at the time of annexation and zone
to RA) were concerned that they be able to keep their agricultural animals
if annexed. If a rezone to R-1 on the proposed 12.5 acres occurred,
property owners 'iNOuld still be within the RA zone and able to keep their
animals.
John Kinnee moved to table action on the J.C.H. Development Co. rezone
request until staff can research past minutes regarding the annexation of
the west side of Crystal Springs St. and the zoning of it to
residential/agricultural and until COITn'ents are received from the Department
of Ecology on the environmental checklist. Motion was seconded by Jim
Brown. Motion carried.
Action on the rezone will be taken at the November 19, 1991 Planning
Commission Meeting and the Public Hearing on the preliminary plat will be
held. A Special Meeting of the Planning Commission will be held on October
22, 1991 at 4:00 PM to discuss the items on the agenda not covered.

Gorman updated the Commission on the progress of the Railroad
Right-of-Way Committee. The committee is interested in preserving RR
lines facing abandonment for future use as RR/transportation corridors
or for recreational purposes Abandonment notice of 30 days is
required at this time. Borges has been advised that Burlington
Northern has stated it would notify the City of Yelm, in writing, of
any plans to abandon RR I ines running north of Yelm Ave towards
Tacoma. Commission was informed that the Port of Olympia was willing
to take on lead agency status on abandonments which will extend time
to 90-100 days and allow for possible acquisition and/or planning
time

replace Resolutions 126 and 177 Reasoning is that the is no point in
bringing commercial/industrial facility applications before the
Commission if the use is permitted outright The resolution does
specify that the Commission be advised of such activity
Discussion followed on possible uses for property on Rhoton Road
between Rhoton Ct and old Wood Fabricators It was recognized that
the need exists to protect both the industrial area and residential
area on each side of the property Some suggestions were light
industrial/warehouse/mini storage/retail/apartments. Commission
requested staff to research and provide list with possibilities
Members discussed manufactured housing and its ability to provide
affordable housing Some ways of controlling quality are through
standards for roof pitch and requiring foundations Possible to have
Roy Clark give presentation to members. Staff will bring an
ordinance before members at next meeting

CITY OF YELM PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1991
Special meetin~ of the Yelm Planning Commission to discuss possible
location of UCBO Community Service Center in Yelm Industrial Park was
called to order at 4.03 p.m by Chair Schlosser
MEMBERS PRESENT: Jim Brown, Tim Schlosser, John Kinnee, Tom Gorman,
Lyle Sundsmo, Jim Keyes, Joe Huddleston, Roberta Longmire, Tom Cundy
Staff present. Gene Borges and Agnes Colombo Guests. Cindy Cecil,
Esther Webb, Rosemary Demich, Ruby Donaldson, Bonnie Anderson, Jim
Talley, Lorraine Lilly and Police Chief Glen Dunnam
Cecil thanked Commission members for agreeing to special meeting which
was necessary to meet the UCBO's tentative time line requiring budget
to be turned in by August 31
Cec i I exp I a ined that goa I s in seek ing property to I ocate Communi ty
Service Center included that the site be within Yelm's city limits and
that it be in the sewer service area. Cecil felt that the site that
most closely met their needs is the old "Herter's Factory" on Rhoton
Road N.W. Most recent occupants in the building were Northwest
Fabricators and Select Wood Products
A 6,000 sq ft. building stands on the property at this time and would
be a good rehab project The current bui lding meets var ious UCBO
needs including being one level and having loading docks and large
garage doors. Loading docks and oversize garage doors are desirable
for the movement of large shipments of food items for the Yelm area as
well as other service areas located in and out of Thurston County
Cecil also feels access to the railroad spur would benefit the UCBO
and community. Headstart, whose programs would also be located at this
site has given 100% support to the selection of this location The 4
acre parcel would provide adequate space for playgrounds, play fields
and park like areas
Borges stated his belief that the center would be a good buffer along
Yelm Creek and would not create a pollution factor
Schlosser questioned Cecil about the traffic impact the center would
have in location. Chief Dunnam answered that he felt it would
actually improve the situation as off street parking would be adequate
for UCBO clients and due to the fact that there are a greater number
of roads available to accommodate traffic to and from this site

Gorman quest ioned need for pedestr ian wa 1 kways to the site. Borges
explained that the City would require sidewalks/pedestrian paths.
Existing sidewalks/walkways come within a short distance
(approximately 300 ft ) of this site as they were part of the recently
completed First Street Project A crosswalk would be needed
Longmire questioned process to allow this use in industrial zone, as
it is not a permitted or accessory use. Staff will need to see how it
fits ordinance, may have to apply for a Conditional Use Permit
Borges explained that the UCBO would be required to provide a written
statement to the City stating that they would not object to the
location of any industry meeting state and/or local requirements in
the Industrial Park
Cecil spoke of future plans for UCBO which included location of a home
on site to be used as a shelter for one family for periods of 3 to 31
days She also stated that she would like to see the UCBO purchase
properties in the downtown area to renovate and use as "satell i te"
shelters
The UCBO would be required, as part of their grant, to remain at this
location for a period of ten years and they have made plans to expand
their programs as allowed by the improved site Some additions planned
for the area include a "Nature Trail" along Yelm Creek and a kitchen
to be used for UCBO and community programs, and a ball field. Many
of the projects wi II be joint efforts between the UCBO and other
agencies
Further discussion pointed out that this location would allow good
access for public transportation, when it becomes available Being
located off the main street will also allow anonymity for clients who
are uncomfortable using UCBO services
Sch 1 osser summed up the meet ing and ques t i oned Cec i I to be cer ta in
that she understood that approval could be given only with the
accompanying provision that the Yelm Planning Commission could not
refuse the location of any industry, meeting all state and/or local
requirements, within the industrial area

on Yelm Ave. E while they make needed repairs to mobile. They plan
to sell the mobile Commission felt 45 days would be sufficient time
to perform repairs The mobile would have to be moved off the
property after that time. Members also felt a for sale sign on the
mobile would be acceptable.
c
Larry Attwood contacted staff to clarify the application of the
"grandfather clause" at his property on Yelm Ave W Roy Buck, former
owner, had been granted a Conditional Use Permit for a non conforming
use, Buck wou I d I ike to continue opera t i on of hi s bus iness on the

Possible uses of property located on Rhoton Road, between old Wood Fab
site and Rhoton Court, was discussed. Property couldn't go R-l,
possible mini-storage? Members will consider possibilities.

required for Conditional Use Permits and that John Klapp, Farmer's
Flea Market, would follow the same process for either rezone or

The agenda was approved as written.
John Klapp and Koreen Pearl addressed the Commission and spoke of
their plans for the Farmers Flea Market. Klapp and Pearl hoped that
the venture, patterned after an ancient marketplace, would provide a
service to the entire community and serve as an outlet for assorted
vendors. KI app hopes to see the market expand to inc 1 ude
entertainment and food He believes that the potential exists for the
market to draw peop I e to the area as it wou I d be unique; the on 1 y
ancient marketplace in the northwest
Klapp further explained that he has invested in excess of $11,000 in
improvements to date. He is not willing to invest additional amounts
of money to erect permanent structures as this type of business has
many unknown elements that affect its success/failure. He also feels
that permanent structures would detract from the overall ancient
marketplace theme
Klapp stated that he is sensitive to neighbors problems and has
erected temporary fencing using blue tarps He is also aware of
objections to the tarps serving as fencing and as a cover over the
stage area. He would replace these with permanent structures down
the road. Neighbors objections to recent rock band comprised of young
local musicians were acknowledged.
The Conditional Use Permit extension granted by the Yelm City Council
to allow time for Klapp to address the Yelm Park Board and this
Commission expires June 26, 1991 Klapp has requested endorsement of
the Park Board to hold the market in Yelm City Park on Saturdays and
Sundays evolving into a fund raising activity for the City with
proceeds go ing to Park funds. Whi I e the Park Board was in favor of
the project they felt the ecology of Yelm City Park is too fragile to
support heavy year-round weekend use The Park could not sustain

Schlosser addressed the history of the project The original
Condi t ional Use Permi t was granted June 1, 1990 as no permanent use
was intended at that time. The next contact was when Timothy Persons
appeared before the Commission (as representative of the Street of

Cheesemakers) in January '91 Klapp told the Commission that Person's
appearance was made without his prior approval. Schlosser pointed out
that every permanent, ongoing business has to meet the requirements
and/or codes requ i red of a II other bus inesses. Keyes added that a II
commercial ventures must erect permanent structures which meet all
health/safety codes etc Tents are no longer acceptable by codes.
Keyes further explained the Commission was being asked to allow
something that went against standing ordinance/laws. He suggested the
possibility of an operation similar to the Olympia Farmer's Market.
Klapp and Pearl advised how it had taken 7 years to get the Olympia
Market off the ground and that Olympia had played a role in the
development of their market Pearl stated that she would like to see
Yelm do the same. Pearl told the Commission that any food vendors
wanting to sell at the Farmers/Flea Market were referred to the health
department immediately to avoid any possible problems.
o
Klapp stated that the venture had not been a money maker to this
point. He had originally intended to charge vendors for space but had
decided against this due to many rained out/slow weekends.
Advertising would benefit the market. Pearl asked if it would be
possible to continue the market for a couple additional months, until
the end of summer; then meet ing aga in to reassess the s i tua t ion to
determine if additional investment was warranted Pearl also pointed
out that Yelm is a growing community and that in the past residents
have done a lot of purchasing out of town. She hopes the market will
help keep shoppers in Yelm and bring additional business to Yelm as
well.
Keyes restated that all codes must be met.

Longmire suggested that the ancient marketplace motif be accomplished
through decoration rather than through building material. She
suggested meeting with a decorator/designer to get some ideas.
Kinnee stated that the market is a commercial venture operating in an
area zoned for multi-family residential. It is not an acceptable
practice to spot zone. More acceptable would be for the whole area to
become commercial. Pearl asked what the procedure would be for this
to take place. She was told that a rezone application would have to
be made to the City, the request would be reviewed by the Planning
Commission and a determination would have to be made to see if the
change would be permitted under the Yelm Comprehensive Plan If all
conditions were met the request would be placed before the City
Council and a public hearing would be held. It was pointed out that
the same criteria for the farmers/flea market would apply in either
zone.
o
The Commission had no recommendation to make to the City Council as no
plans providing for structures or meeting codes had been presented.

The rreeting was called to order by Chair Tim Schlosser at 4 :00 FM.
Comniss ion members present: Tim Schlosser, Roberta Longmire, Jim Brown,
George Knight, Jim Keyes & Joe Huddleston. Tom Gonnan & John Kinnee were
not able to attend. Visitors: Dennis Su, KCM. Staff: Gene Borges &
Shelly Badger.
The minutes of the April 16, 1991 Planning Commission Meeting were approved
on a rrotion by Roberta Longmire, second by Joe Huddleston. Motion carried.
Comnission members were asked to serve on the Thurston County Task Force to
review v.ork on Resource Lands & Critical Areas for South County Cities &
Towns. Members suggested names of potential candidates, staff asked that
any Commission members interested, contact Shelly Badger.
o
Staff distributed copies of the April 18, 1991 meeting of the YelmjThurston
County Joint Planning Commisslon showing the recomnendations of the
Committee in regards to the joint plan and urban growth boundary. At the
May 1, 1991 meeting of the Thurston County Planning Comnission, County
Planning staff briefed the Corrmission on the work on the jOlnt plan,
neglecting to inform the Commission of the Joint Committee's
recommendations. The Thurston County Planning Commission asked that Yelm and
Thurston County staff attempt to resolve their boundary differences prior to
Yelm's presentation to the Commission on May 29, 1991 at 7:00 FM, Thurston
County Courthouse, Room 152.
Gene Borges presented the Yelm Planning Comnission with a draft letter of
agreement that Thurston County and Yelm staff are currently negotiating to
detail the process to follow to meet HB2929 requirements and establish the
urban growth boundary. The Yelm Planning Commisslon expressed concern that
the recorrrnendations of the Joint Comnittee did not go directly to the
elected officials and felt that the letter of agreement was a way to stall
any decisions on the urban growth boundary. After much discussion, the Yelm
Planning Commission expressed support of the negotiations, hoping that the
letter of agreement would resolve the issues more expeditiously than wlthout
one.
With no further business before the Commission, the meeting adjourned at
5:24 FM on a motion by Roberta Longmire, second by Joe Huddleston.

ways to square up area proposed ~or annexation prior to
submission o~ request to City Council.
Mr. & Mrs. Snapp proposed locating, on parcel o~ land between the
bike shop and Bon Jon's, parking and two drive ways ~ronting Yelm
Ave. E. ~ a double wide mobile home in the center area o~ the lot
to provide living quarters ~or Mrs. Snapp's mother; 7 storage
units/garages at the back o~ the property.
Borges explained that the state would probably not allow two
entrances onto SR507.
Addressing the mobile placement issue, members explained that the
purpose oz having zoning is dezeated when variances are granted.
Yelm's Zoning Ordinance allows placement o~ mobiles only in
mobile home parks and/or subdivisions. Borges added that the law
states that variances be issued only ~or bene~it o~ land and
surrounding land, benefit to individuals should not be a
consideration. Commission ~elt they should ~ollow guidelines as
set in Ordinance. They did advise Snapps that they still have
the option to take the issue to the City Council.
The storage and parking as proposed are permitted by zoning.
c
Commission members were given a map showing Central Reddi-Mix
property which runs from Rhoton Rd. NW to Crystal Springs St. NW.

Yelm/Thurston Co. Joint Planning Committee met on 4/11/91.
Committee was in agreement with Yelm's Comprehensive Plan. County
staff was directed to prepare a new map for the next meeting.
A request to replace an existing mobile home on Fourth with a new
mobile was received from Jean Dobiash. Commission felt their
position on this issue is clear. Commission has denied similar
requests in the past. Commission wants an Ordinance in place to
guide them in these matters.
Sta~~ has been directed by Council to prepare, along with
attorney, an amendment to deal with replacement o~ mobiles.
Request received ~rom Janice Clements to operate a ~lea market at
Culinary Chameleon. Clements explained that they want to attract
legitimate cra~t vendors. Proposed parking would be on lot o~~
Cullens Road. Vendor booths to be placed under trees on
restaurant property.
Commission members oppose this type o~ temporary business. It is
not bene~icial to the community. Other businesses must develop
~acilities and make improvements, the same should be required in
this instance. Commission said they would encourage this only as
a permanent, long term business meeting all requirements. Borges
indicated a possible problem with intended parking site as it may
include area that serves as drain~ield ~or restaurant septic
system. Clements will meet with Borges at 1:30 tomorrow.

Agenda changes: Nisqually Plaza Parking Lot channelization added

Council requested recommendation from Planning Commission on best
procedure for submitting Asher and Jenness annexation requests.
Asher has completed required paperwork ~or annexation o~ ~our
lots on West Road. His request will create an "island" o~ county
road sandwiched between portions o~ city roadway. The annexation
request may be denied by the county because o~ this "island".
Jenness is working to annex land in the same general area. A
combined request would probably present a stronger position ~or.
approval o~ the annexation. Members ~elt that since Asher has
completed his portion o~ the process he should not be delayed.
Motion Kinnee that commission recommend council approval o~ Asher
annexation request~ seconded Knight. Carried.
Schlosser stressed that sta~~ needs to receive veri~ication ~rom
county that annexations not be a~~ected by county view o~ growth

Members discussed Klapp property Marketplace/St. o~ Cheesemakers.
Possibilities discussed: (a) conditional use permit ~or temporary
operation, (b) conditional use permit ~or permanent use that

Timothy Persons
o
Timothy Persons. Director of Marketing for the Street of the
Cheesemakers had requested permission to place banners at both
entrance ways to the market in a letter dated 12/17/90. He
repeated that request in his letter of 1/10/91. The January
letter also requested approval of the market master plan to allow
opening on the weekend of February 9 and 10. A drawing of the
proposed marketplace was submitted immediately prior to the
beginning of the meeting. Copies were made and distributed to
members.
The marketplace would be located behind the church building
(formerly Yelm Prairie Christian Center) at Railroad and
Jefferson. This area is zoned R-2/Multifamily. The lot was the
former location of Farmer's Flea Market. The Flea Market was
being allowed to operate on a conditional use permit until June
'91. Farmer's Flea Market was not granted renewal of their
business license for 1991 due to nonpayment/nonfiling of 2 or
more quarterly tax reports.
The plan as submitted by Persons included one long awning covered
"barter" area. Additional canvas covered shelters interspersed
with "reed huts" were shown aligning the perimeter of the
property. In the center a 30'x20' covered stage surrounded by
ftnatural shelters" on three sides and benches on one side would
be used for plays/music. An area set aside for food service is
also located in the center of the lot. Food would be prepared
~ and se:c"ved out of portable/R. V. units.

Persons explained that this would be a year round market,
patterned after the marketplaces in Jerusalem~ transactions would
be accepted as trade~ barter or coin. The marketplace would
operate on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Persons stated that he
had received permission to use the middle school lot for parking.
Borges explained that the commission could make recommendations
only. The entire plan must still go before council as a request
for a conditional use permit to operate a commercial center in an
R-2 zone. Staff would have to review the plans which were
received for the first time immediately prior to this meeting.
Some fire code problems were anticipated due to the reed
huts/natural shelters. Also to be considered by the property
owner would be a possible rezone from multifamily to commercial.
Borges suggested the property owner come into the office to meet
with him. Persons said he would have the owner contact Borges.
c
Borges updated the commission on the recently held meeting with
Thurston Co. Commissioners~ their planning staff and Yelm's
council~ attorney, and staff concerning the current standing of
the Yelm/Thurston Co. Joint Plan. Yelm was able to present the
commissioners with information, documentation and time frames
showing when and how the urban growth boundary that Yelm
officials believe should be accepted was developed. A work
session for commissioners and county staff will follow the
meeting, the issue will probably go back before the joint
committee after the work session for a recomendation to elected
officials.
Borges also stated that the meeting was well attended by local
businessmen. Their support in this matter was appreciated by
staff and council. Kinnee asked if there was anything commission
members could do to help. Borges suggested calls directly to the
commissioners supporting their willingness to explore the
situation. Kinnee expressed the difficulty of trying to plan for
future needs of local schools when the growth boundary issue has
not been settled.
Members were in agreement on the importance of resolving
issue and maintaining compliance with SHB 2929, which will
allow amendments to growth boundary. This means the growth
would probably remain stationary for a 10 year period.
