Attachment A
Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance
SUB-05-0305-YL
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 (September 19, 2005, SCA Consulting Group)
/ Preliminary Drainage and Erosion Control Report (September 2005, SCA
Consulting Group)
/ Addendum to Tahoma Terra Residential Development Transportation Impact
Study dated February 25, 2005 (August 2005, Transportation Engineering
Northwest)
2. The environmental documents indicate that the property is composed of soils and
substrates that are suitable for building and for stormwater infiltration. There is no
indication that there are any potential significant impacts to the earth (geology,
topography, soils).
3. There is no indication in any of the environmental documents that there will be any
potential long-term significant impacts to air quality from the proposed development.
4. The City of Yelm is identified as a Critical Aquifer Recharge Area, a designated
environmentally sensitive area. Potential Impacts to groundwater quality and
quantity will be mitigated through measures that meet or exceed the standards in the
1992 DOE stormwater manual as adopted by the City of Yelm. In addition, the east
and south portion of the property is identified by Thurston County as a potential high
groundwater flooding buffer area. Thurston County, in other areas of the County
that are potential high groundwater flooding areas, indicates in the Interim Site
Development Standards for New Development in Salmon Creek Basin that if there is
more than six feet of separation between the level of the high groundwater and the
bottom of any infiltration gallery, the project should be designed to the effective
drainage manual.
The City has adopted the 1992 Department of Ecology Drainage Design Manual,
which requires that stormwater generated from a development be treated for oils,
sediments, and heavy metals before infiltration.
5. The south and east portion of the site is identified by Thurston County as including a
potential Oak Stand Habitat which is a Department of Fish and Wildlife priority
species.
6. 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.
Attachment A MDNS (SUB-05-0305-YL)
7. The environmental documents do not identify a potential significant impact related to
the use of energy or natural resources.
8. The environmental checklist indicates noise generated from vehicles will be minimal.
9. 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.
10.The Growth Management Act at Section 36.70.070 (6)(b) RCW states that a finding
of concurrency can be issued when required improvements are in place at the time
of development or that a financial commitment is in place to complete the
improvements or strategies within six years.
11. Chapter 16.16 YMC requires that the layout of streets provide for continuation of
streets existing in adjoining subdivisions. The project provides a future street
connection to the west.
12. Section 16.16.050 (YMC) states that lots within a residential subdivision shall be
designed so that lots adjacent to arterial and collector streets are not allowed direct
access.
13. The traffic impact analysis (TIA) submitted as part of the application indicates that
the project will generate an average of 410 vehicle trips per day, with a PM peak of
41 vehicles per hour. The TIA indicates that, with average growth:
14. Section 14.04.055 YMC indicates that the principal guide in measuring
environmental impact is consistency with the land use designations of the
comprehensive plan and the development regulations designed to implement the
plan.
15. The checklist indicates that the proposal will not require addition fire or police
protection services.
16.Temporary construction impacts such as noise, light, water quality, and air quality,
are mitigated by requirements of the Zoning Code and Development Guidelines
relating to construction activities.
17.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.
Attachment A MDNS (SUB-05-0305-YL)
Mitigation Measures
1. Prior to final subdivision approval, the developer shall complete the following
transportation improvements:
a. The south half of Longmire Street 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 a Local Access
Residential.
c. The SR 510/Longmire intersection improvement required by the Tahoma
Terra Master Plan Approval shall be completed prior to final plat application
for this subdivision.
d. The interior street shall provide a future street connection to the west.
2. Civil plan submission shall include an updated preliminary stormwater plan that
meets or exceeds the standards in the 1992 stormwater Manual as adopted by the
City of Yelm. The stormwater plan shall include the following elements:
a. The elevation of the bottom of the infiltration gallery shall be a minimum of six
feet above the elevation of the high groundwater area as identified by Thurston
County, and must be 50 feet horizontally, or 2 feet vertically away from the High
Ground water area, which ever distance is less.
b. Individual dry wells are required for roof runoff.
c. The stormwater system shall be designed to accommodate stormwater
generated by required frontage improvements.
3. The applicant shall provide a tree and vegetation plan that identifies and protects
any priority oak species.
4. Temporary erosion control systems to be approved by the City of Yelm.
5. The developer shall provide at least 5% of total acreage as qualified open space.
This shall include the area of the man made pond, and oak habitat species area.
6. The developer shall enter into an agreement with Yelm Community Schools to
mitigate project impacts to the School District.
