Public Hearing opened at 4 07 P m 2 Public Hearinq - ZON-8161 - Rezone and Comprehensive Plan Amendment of Proposed area from Industrial (I) to Moderate Density Residential (R-6), located on Crystal Sprinqs Road, between the UBCO and Mt. Aire Lane N Staff Report: Report given by Cathy Carlson Cathy showed the commission and the public in attendance where the four pieces of property are located Cathy advised that the property is surrounded by residential development. The current access to one piece of property is 40' which is narrower than the minimum standard of 54 feet for residential access roads The other access available would be through Crystal Springs development. Letters were (\ Yelm Planning Commission U November 20,1995 1 c c c submitted by Ruth Lucas, Wayne Keifer and Greg and Melissa Hartung, in response to the proposal Two were in favor of the proposal, one property owner was concerned about eroding away the industrial designated land The area involved in this rezone is approximately 0002% of the total designated industrial area in the City limits and the UGA. The planning department recommends approval of the proposal Tom Gorman wanted to clarify that the 0002% of the total area zoned industrial, referred to by Cathie, includes industrial zoned property outside the city limits, but inside the Urban Growth Boundary, that the commission designated in the master plan and had been zoned industrial and the city is in effect the applicant. Comments from the Public Wayne Keifer, 15733 - 95th Ct. N E , stated his house is directly adjacent to the access to the property in question He has a very minimal setback from the access It would impact his home and family if there was heavy traffic through the area He would not like to see industrial, ie, heavy equipment going back and forth through the area Donald Gray, 802 Mountain Aire Lane, asked what the definition of moderate density residential Cathy Carlson responded that it would allow a maximum of 6 residential units per acre, with a minimum of 4 units per acre Mr. Gray then asked what the minimum lot size would be Cathy responded that there isn't a minimum lot size, but you could expect a lot size in that area of approximately 6,000 sq feet. Mr Gray wanted to clarify that this was "single-family residential," not "multiple-family residential" Cathy stated that duplexes could go on the property, but it couldn't exceed the maximum density of six units One duplex structure would be counted as two units Mr. Gray went on to ask where the access to the property would be Ms. Carlson stated that since there was no proposal at the present time, logically there would probably be one or two driveways off Mountain Aire Some property could be accessed off Crystal Springs Dick Larman, stated his property is surrounded by rezone He appeared at today's meeting to support the rezone His major concern is the larger rezone, with access to the property through the cul-de-sac He would like to see a buffer between the industrial area and the residential area Joe Huddleston asked Mr. Gray if he is in favor or against the rezone proposal Mr. Gray said he hadn't formed an opinion yet. If it means constructing Yelm Planning Commission November 20, 1995 2 c c c I apartments in the area, he would be against it, but he approves of single-family residents, and is undecided on duplexes Unidentified female asked if there was a possibility multi-family dwellings (apartments) could be built on the property Cathy said that theoretically someone could put up one building with 6 units but that type of construction on a one acre parcel would not be profitable to the property owner Vicki Workman, stated she has lived there for 12 years Has a buyer who is interested in buying their back lot and he says he has no intention to build multi- family dwellings Toni Gay, a neighbor of Ms Workman, stated that the piece that they will be selling is approximately 220 ft. x 9 ft. behind their existing homes Frank Jones, owner of the larger piece of property on the east side of Crystal Springs Estates wanted to go on record as stating that he favors the rezone, however, he wanted to make it clear that he has no intention of moving horses for at least five years Wondered if the 40 foot strip through Crystal Springs is sufficient access to his property? Cathy Carlson responded that the local access streets is 54 feet of right-of-way, but that's not to say that it can't be used for one-way access and even if the city made some adjustment or variance from the standard, that's to small of a road to support five acres if that were the only access Mr. Jones said he didn't want the city to say he could no longer get to his house along that strip Questions from the Planninq Commission Roberta LonQmire asked if the present zoning on Crystal Springs Estate and Mountain Aire Court was R-6 Cathy Carlson responded that it was ~Sundsmo said it didn't make any sense to zone it industrial Tom Gorman asked if and when this property is looked at for residential development, could they anticipate if the staff recommendation requirements might include a buffer in the back of the property It probably wouldn't De unrealistic that might be a requirement? Cathy Carlson stated that when industrial properties are adjacent to residential property the Industrial Chapter of the zoning code requires a 25 foot setback but she wasn't sure if that same requirement is in the residential zoning chapters Public Hearing closed at 4 40 P m Yelm Planning Commission November 20, 1995 3 c o c i 95-39 MOTION BY ROBERTA LONGMIRE, SECONDED BY EJ CURRY, FOR APPROV~L I OF STAFF'S PROPOSAL TO REZONE THE SUBJECT AREA AND AMEND THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (Zon-8161).

(see cul-de- sac on map) This would result in industrial traffic (trucks) accessing the site through a quite residential neighborhood Property zoned as industrial use is a valuable asset to the community for future economic development. The area proposed to be rezoned represents approximately 0002 percent of all the Industrial Zoned parcels in the City and the Urban Growth Area STAFF RECOMMENDATION The City of Yelm Planning Department recommends approval of the rezone and comprehensive pilan amendment as proposed by the City Submitted by, /1 ' /714 li)jf~Lr/~ GL- ~ Catherine Carlson City Planner Date 1/- /4 -1-S- r--~-~ , SCALE 1 "=300' o 150 300 I 600 NW 1/4, SEC.19, T17N, R2E, W.M. @-02 BAKERS CjJ @-0102 @-01 @-0103 c @-04 @-03 ~16 "" @ C]J @ @ @ @-02 ~~ Z-orte- tlr~ 8 @-0404 CD (2) ~010l ~ r&-01 : @-0203 l{3J-02 ~0201 , ~-0202 @-03 ~----- --- -- - - fuyv /3, /9 CJ~ \ oG-Af 0/ ~J ()JfM' q .f~ .... .. . \ - - .

I see mdustnal~ govemmental~ agncultural~ and family dwellings scattered about me. My major concern 1S organizing zones with like sumoundings and not leaving a city all chopped up and cluttered. Furthennore~ houses or dwellings should be done m the same manner Apartments~ mobile homes~ duplexes~ and framed houses should be separated from each other The swrounding area east of Ctystal Spnngs Road 1S a framed housmg development and should mamtam that continmty In additlOn~ access to the rezone area 1S questlonable. At the present tune there 1S a smgle lane road behInd Ctystal Spnngs Lots 11, 12, 13, 14, and 15 for traffic. WidellUlg and the potentlal use of the road would not only bring more traffic thus creating a safety issue but would devalue our propertIes.

component to solving this traffic problem 2 Explain that mixed use developments have unique parking demand characteristics 3 The Institute of Traffic Engineers (a document the Citv uses to calculate trip generation) has conducted several surveys showing a reduced parking demand for retail centers 4 The City's current language in the code for parking promotes increased area of asphalt which impacts economic and aesthetic feasibility e Automotive traffic in Washington's metropolitan areas is a major source of congestion pollution emissions and consumption of energy In the attempt to reduce single occupied vehicles and commute trips, the state has established a Transportation Demand Management Program [RCW 70 94 521J for those counties experiencing the greatest automobile related problems Although Thurston County does not have the same problems King County has, it is important to preempt, as much as possible, future transportation difficulties that may occur in the Yelm area More specific to parking, the legislation finds that increased parking availability promotes greater numbers of single occupied vehicles RCW 70 94 527 (4)(e) states that "a review of local parking policies and ordinances as they relate to employers and major work sites and any revisions necessary to comply with commute trip reduction goals and guidelines" should be made Statement We believe that by adopting a parking ratio of 1 150 (6 67 1,000), which will require more stalls then the old code, the City will be implementing a policy that directly conflicts with the State's effort to reduce tl~affic e The City has incorporated many of the suggested alternative parking reduction programs into it's new parking regulations [17 24 140(B)(3)], but failed to consider applicability of these incentives toward differing uses e e e Page 2 Retail centers for instance usually contain a variety of uses It is characteristic of mixed use developments for a consumer to drive to a center and utilize more then one use For example, a consumer will plan a visit to the center intending on conducting banking business. to eat a meal and go grocery shopping The consumer only needs one parking space throughout the duration of the visit 17 24 140 (B) attempts to address this characteristic but does not specifically state that a credit will be given to mixed use developments that is under single ownership Statement We feel that mixed use developments should automatically be given a parking credit of 15% This type of parking credit is commonly used throughout the Pl1get Sound area The Institute of Transportation Engineers is recognized as the comprehensive traffic experts by the majority of jurisdictions throughout the nation Including the City of Yelm, many jurisdictions use their models and formulas to evaluate a range uf information as it relates to traffic This includes parking characteristics for different uses and their respective parking demands Please note on the attachment that the ITE conducted 141 weekday and 178 Saturday parking surveys for shopping centers The surveys indicate that weekday parking demand for shopping centers is 3 23 per 1,000 and weekend is 3 97 per 1,000 The City is proposing to require over so~ more parking stalls then is proven to be necessary Statement Supporting documents indicate that a parking ratio of 3 5 1,000 square feet is appropriate It is obvious to say at this puint, that increased parking ratios will increase the amount of parking stalls required for a commercial project which will in turn impact the visual design of the development let alune the eLonomic viability Statement It is our believe the City does not intend to impact the aesthetiL design of development by replacing landscaping and viable taxable entities with parking lots II Drainage Goals 1 Provide documented information on the effectiveness of pollutant removal in biofiltration swales c e e Page 3 2 Outline recommendations In the last twenty years, uncontrolled storm runoff that accompanies development has posed a substantial and pervasive threat to the quality of the nation's lakes, rivers, and streams In order to reduce the impacts of the relatively dilute pollutant loads carried by urban runoff COST EFFECTIVELY, stormwater managers have advocated the use of passive, technically simply, and relatively flexible methods for treating urban runoff These systems are termed best management practices (BMP's) Wet detention ponds, infiltration basins, constructed wetlands, as well as biofiltration devices such as filter strips and grassy swales are some of the BMP's that have been suggested or required for stormwater quality management, both locally and nationally A multi-agency comprehensive study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of pollutant removal in biofiltratiun swales The report was published in ]992 Agencies involved with the study in~luded WA Department of Ecology University of Washington, Metro, King County, City of Redmond, City of Seattle, City of Bellevue and City of Mountlake Terrace The study sought to measure effectiveness of two swale configurations differing in length and water residence time The two configurations are referred to as the 200 foot and 100 foot configuration The 200 foot configuration was found tu have 3 hydraulic residence time of approximately 9 minutes ,vhi Ie the 100 foot conf igUl~at ion was 4 6 minutes Findings from the study show that a hydraulic residence time of about 9 minutes (at the 200 foot length configur'ation) resulted in excellent removal of particulate pollutants, oil and grease and total petroleum hydrocarbons (approximately 80%) The study shows that pollutant removal happens exponentially in the first 125 feet and decreases to next to nothing after 200 feet Based on the collective e:...perif::lnce of the BiofiltratioIl Project team recommendations were made in the area~ of I andscap i ng, des i gn par'ame t(~rs, ins ta 11 at ion, ma i n tenance , and enforcement (please see attachment) The Project team recommended BMP is to construct a biofiltration swale 200 feet long 7 tu 8 feet wide with slopes between 2 to 4 percent e c e Page 4 Statement While the intent of the Thurston County Surface Drainage Manual is to control stormwater runoff and water quality, they do not follow DOE guidelines and their requirements for biofiltration are excessive, inefficient and costly Current studies prove that pollutant removal occurs primarily in the first 125 feet of the swale and minimal, if any, removal occurs after 200 feet State standards will recommend a removal rate of approximately 80~ Further, if the designed detention system is infiltration, additional pollutants will be removed as water leaches to the aquifer This study has prompted current revisions to the various stormwater manllals such as WA Department of Ecology Stormwater Manual, King County Sllrface Water Design Manual, Water Quality Best Management Practices Manual and Water Quality Design Manual We suggest that the City of Yelm, take the opportunity to research recent findings and follow the DOE guidelines and BMP's, not Thurston County's :1 ;1

This study was conducted to determine the pollutant removal effectiveness of a grassy swale designed spedfically for its water treatment benefits In addition, the study sought to measure effectiveness of two swale configurations differing in length and water residence time The two configurations are referred to as the 200-foot and lOa-foot configurations The ZOO-foot configuration was found to have a hydraulic residence time of approximately 9 minutes; the lOa-foot configuration, 4 6 minutes. In addition, the Manning's roughness coeffident, referred to as Manning's n, was also measured in the 200-foot configuration. RESULTS Major findings of the study are summarized below Pollutant Removal Performance n The biofiltration swale studied (which was designed according to criteria gIVen in Horner, 1988) was seen to consistently remove particulate pollutants such as total suspended solids (83 percent removal), turbidity (65 percent) and metals of largely particulate character, such as lead, zinc, iron and aluminum (63 percent to 72 percent). Materials which adhere to the grass surfaces, such as oil and grease and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) were also effectively removed (about 74 percent). 1 Metals of less particulate character, such as copper; and dissolved metals were generally less consistently removed. Dissolved zinc removal averaged 30 percent for the 200-foot configuration. Dissolved copper, iron, and aluminum removals were negative on average, although for some events positive removals were seen. Dissolved lead was always below the detection level, so conclusions about removal could only be inferred from the behavior of other similar metals. Nutrients were removed to varying degrees, with best removals seen for bio- available phosphorus (40 percent), followed by total phosphorus (29 percent) Poor r negative removals were seen, on average, for dissolved nutrients, such as ortho hosphorus (ortho-P) and nitrate+nitrite-nitrogen (nitrate+nitrite-N). , -, The removal of fecal coliform bacteria was highly variable. Some of the data showed good removals, while other data showed elevated concentrations in the outflow These increased loadings were probably caused by external sources (such as pet wastes) and bacterial multiplication on the swale bottom and on the wooden flume bottom. Figure 1-1 summarizes the pollutant removals associated with the 200-foot swale configuration ranked in order of treatment effectiveness. The figure represents the average of removals seen for each of six events. e 90 83 80 70 60 "ii ~ 50 E '" a: #- .w 30 0 20 10 0 TSS Ohncl Fe Pb T urbiclity T-Zn/T-AI T-Cu 8AP 11' Dissolved Ci~H In Figure 1-1. Pollutant Removal of a 200-Foot Swale (9-minute Average Hydraulic Residence Time) Hydraulic Residence Time A hydraulic residence time of about 9 minutes (at the 200-foot length configuration) resulted in good removal of particulate pollutants, oil and grease, and TPH. This residence time is recommended as a basis for design for most biofiltration swale applications. Longer residence times are recommended if solids removal in excess of about 80 percent is desired. c 1.2 ( " t \'. 11 n o I, m m m of de gr; de Me ill( -ec tEi ~N ece - .-fIB I ~ When the hydraulic residence time was reduced to an average of 4.6 minutes fi the 1 GO-foot length configuration) visual observations and performance data for "zJhc and iron indicated that pollutant removal performance was poorer than for the 9-minute, 200-foot configuration. Because of a high variance in average removal for the 100-foot configuration, data for parameters other than zinc and iron could not be shown to be significantly different from those observed for the longer detention time configuration. However, it is suggested that a residence time of 4 to 5 minutes is not adequate to assure consistently good pollutant removals, particularly for storms with significant rainfall peaks. More work is needed before a residence time of less than 9 minutes can be recommended with confidence as adequate for biofiltration swale design. Manning's n Value This study has shown that Manning's n did not vary significantly with changes in slope between 3 and 4 percent, but did vary with flow rate Variation was also seen with grass height (6 inches vs 12 inches) For a grass height of 6 inches and a flow rate of 0.51 feet per second, the Manning's n values observed were between 0.192 to 0 198 (dimensionless). Considering uncertainties involved In this study, and erring on the conservative side, a Manning's n of 0.20 is recommended for swale design for stormwater treatment applications. n In applying this information, the user should be aware that the Manning's n 0./0.20 was measured for grass having blade densities averaging from 600 to 1,600 blades/ft2. The swale had infrequent maintenance (mowing and other lawn maintenance activities such as aeration and fertilization). For regularly mowed and mamtained swales, grass is likely to be denser, and hence the Manning's n value may be higher than 0.20. Therefore, it is recommended that the Manning's n value of 0.20 found in this study be adopted as the minimum value for biofiltration swale design. More work should be done to investigate Manning's n for regularly mowed grass. Before mowing, when grass was about 12 inches, the Manning's n determined for the same swale was 0.24. It is reasonable to apply this higher Manning's n value in situations where swales can only be infrequently maintained, such as for rural roads. However, in general, regular mowing of swales is recommended. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PLANNING DESIGN INSTALLATION " , o MAINTENANCE Based on the collective experience of the Biofiltration Project team, cjmmendations were made in the areas of landscaping, design parameters, 1-3 c installation, maintenance, and enforcement. These recommendations supplement the primary data on pollutant removal effectiveness and Manning's n values collected during the project. Highlights are summarized: e Landscaping can be integrated into water quality swales, but precautions are needed to prevent shading and leaf drop, which can kill the grass, and transport of soil from the planting beds into the swale. · Uniform spreading of flow at the head of the swale is important for effective pollutant removal. · Maximum design velodty should not exceed 0.9 feet per second to prevent exceedance of the treatment capability of the swale. · A hydraulic residence time of 9 minutes is recommended for pollutant removals of about 80 percent of total suspended solids. If higher levels of performance are desired, longer residence times are recommended. · Swale width should be limited to about 7 to 8 feet (the width of a typical backhoe loader) unless special measures are provided to assure an even level of the swale bottom, uniform flow spreading, and management of flows to prevent formation of low-flow channels. C · No specific swale length is recommended, but the recommended hydraulic residence time and width will result in a minimum length for a particular set of geometric and vegetation characteristics. In the case of the 200-foot swale studied, application of these residence time and width criteria would result in a minimum length of 125 feet. · Swale slopes should be between 2 and 4 percent. Underdrains should be installed if slopes are less than 2 percent. If standing water is likely for prolonged periods (for example, several weeks) due to low gradients or interception of the water table or base flow, wetland vegetation should be used rather than grass. · Water depth should be limited to no greater than one half the height of the grass up to a maximum of 3 inches of water depth. For taller grass, water depth should be less than or equal to one third the grass height. · Regular mowing is strongly recommended. Not only does regular mowing encourage thicker, healthier grass, but leaves, litter, and e ,~ ....-.~~, ~ ..;. ....._.. 0#40 .~--"~..'. .-AIB c .\.~ \/0 e other obstructions to good flow spreading are removed in the process of mowing. . Regular maintenance of swales is key to assuring good water quality performance. Spedfying mowing frequencies, regular inspection and repair on site plans is recommended. Establishing performance bonds retained through the first year of operation has also been effective in assuring early problems are addressed.

TO Id!)lJ Ken Garmann, Public Works Director Yelm Public Works Robert G Connolly, PE ~~--.,b~J20 Skillings.Connolly, Inc. \J~~ /<1' { This memorandum has been prepared at the City of Yelm's reque~ to summarize what has transpired over the past week as it relates to stormwater and the City of Yelm. ,il! .. FROM e last Monday at the Yelm Planning Commission meeting, testimony concerning grass swales was heard from Mary Murphy. a planner/land use consultant hired by Mike Edwards who IS presently developing a commercial site in Yelm Her testimony basically came down to asking the City to use the DOE Stormwater Manual for grass biofiltraUon swales instead of using the Thurston Regional Manual for the sizing of grass swales Developers typically like to spend tl1e least amount of dollars on the development of a site and therefore would like to use the DOE method of swale design. The swale will be smaller, and therefore less expensiva to build. SLlbsequent to this Planning Commission meeting, I set out to look Into the biofiltration ISSlIO and also to decide what is In the best interest of the City of Yelm as it relates to ground water I drinking water quality. My experience and expertise on the subject of stormwater and groundwater has been gaIned as a practicing engineer for over 20 years I graduated from Clarkson University in 1975 after studying Civil and Environmental Engineering I served as a member of the Honderson Inlet Watershed Management Committee several years ago and have been recently select~d to serve on the DOE Quantity and Quality Control Subcommittee for the update of the DOE Stormwater Manual Dunng the past 11 years I have prepared numerous drainage plans and reports using different city and county stormwater manuals including those for King County Pierce County, City of Seattle, CIty of Tacoma, City of Bonny Lake, Thurston COl.lnty, Tumwater, Lacey and Olympia. Tile City of Yelm is in a unique pOSition The City is growing at a time when solutions exist to control stormwater and to protect its groundwater source Much of the Puget Sound didn't have this opportunity and most communities have been striving to fix what uncontrolled development has done to overall water quality o Of the two stormwater manuals, the best suited for Yelm's very porous soils is the Thurston Regional Stonnwater Manual This is based on the fact that its authors steered the manual In a direction that would maximize infiltration It also is much more conservative when It comes to CIYll . H~ANSPOrnAlION . fNvmONMENTAl ~016 tAllY 1.I0.,("AIl.1., l PO BOX ~OIlO L\. l\ W4\lIiI'/Gw", 9115(H } hO I .] '" I ,n 9 'i 14)1 01? 1 HI ~ I J~ !5-.9~ ne _OFM Fn_ Ken Garmann August 15. 1995 Page two II'; o o o the sizing of grass swales. During the past few days I have spoken with stormwater experts that represent the City of Olympia. Lacey and Tumwater as well as for Thurston County and the DOE Water Quality Program. The consensus is that the grass swales constructed dunng the last few years, in genera', do not work. as de~igned and that the agencies will de- emphasize the use ot swales In the future. The DOE Manual may also have changes in this regard In an article sent to me by Loretta Swanson with Thurston County titled K Performance and Condition of 8iofilters in the Pacific Northwest" (see attached) it was found that only 500/0 of the biofilter swales sUlveyed had been maintained In 1988 Mr. Hornor, (the author of the study referenced by Ms Murphy) and his colleagues surveyed the condition of 44 biofiltcr$ They found that 40% of the biofilters did not have the dense grass cover necessary to achieve effective filtration. The City of Olympia has recently changed its stormwater policy to only allow grass swales as a last resort. Thurston County will be starting soon on a program to inventory existing stormwater facilities, finding out which ones work and which ones don't. A large arl10Llnt of money will need to be spent to retrofit these facilitIes and to provide the badly needed maintenance Thurston County IS also looking into a regional comprehensive stormwater plan for the Grand Mound area in order to protect the groundwater resource that will be so important for the proper development of that area This plan will focus on regional stormwater facllitios, maintained by the County The ground conditions for the Grand Mound area are very porous, Just like Yelm's, and their main objective is to protect the groundwater Skillings..Connolly. Inco's recommendation is for Yelm to adapt the most recent versIon of the Thurston Regional $tormwater Manual It may not be perfect, but it is best suited for Ye:lm, to encourage total onsite infiltration The manual can be updated by Yelm in the future to further incorporate effective water quality measures based on Yelm's condItions and how stormwater devices and methods work over time Yelm may want to look into lessening the grass swale requirement on a caserby.case basis The Thurston County Manual allows for a variance process Higher inspection effort, a longer maintenance bond period may be suitable and possibly an agreement should be drafted that would allow the City to prOVIde maintenance when the system is not property maintained by H10 owner and most importantly to allow for the City to bill the owner Grass swales are quickly dropping to the bottom of the preferred method of storrnwater troatment and it may be to the City of Yelm's overall benefit to encourage the use of altt1rnate stormwater treatment methods at this time I! -: 1;:- ::: _I C, _ II:: 1'/1 ~ ) ---+-- 10 3.3 TC WATER & WASTE f'lGtlT P 17 3t~0 ';'S4 '~6!32 _." ,...'.......Ull..,'l.... ....~-.....l../f--t'.......t.....H...j&.~"7...~......"...._a.....11..,-r. . ~rformance and Condition of Biofilters In the Pacific Northwest Byt Erik Reeves, Ctntu for W~<<rshed Protection, Sih'er Spring, MD W h:u exactly 1$ a biofilter?

By allowing excessive parking in commercial aeeas the City is promoting SOY rather then discourdging thereby creating a counter. effect In dddition, the City hd~ accepted and regularly uses traffic generation models created by the Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) Further. all traffic studies required by the City uses the ITE model to determine new trips generated by a development e Shelley Badger August 16, 1995 Page 4 e Q]lestion If the City itself uses the ITE and accepts required traffic studies also using the ITE model, why is the City not accepting proof positive data (319 nationwide parking surveys) conducted by the ITE showing actual on the ground parking demand for shopping centers of 3 23 1000 (weekday) and 3 97 1000 (weekend)?

' Shelly Badger August 16, 1995 Page 5 e Based on the findings, we recommend that the City either reconsider it's effort to reduce SOY's or attempt to reduce traffic on a comprehensive level In addition, we recommend that the City recognize available data which clearly identifies actual parking demand for retail centers Thank you for giving us the upportunity to present our thoughts and findings We sincerely hope that the City will seriously consider this information If you should have additional questions regarding this matter, please feel free to call me at (206) 784-1133 Sincerely, Mary Hanna Murphy Land Use Consultant c cc Mike Edwards Gary Tusberg 1\ \..J ,~~ & PEl/SA ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ o American Planning Association Washington State Chapter August 4, 1995 I yo em Mr Lyle Sundsmo Planning CommISSIOn ChaIr PO Box 479 Yelm, W A 98597 Re: Fall 1995 American Planning Association Conference - Bellevue Dear CommIssIoner On behalf of the Washmgton Chapter of the Amencan Planmng ASSOCIatIOn (APA), we would like to mVlte you to attend our upcommg Fall 1995 Planmng Conference, Prospects and Perspectives, thIS October 16-18 m Bellevue The conference WIll be a three-day event whIch will feature more than fifty program sessIons and mobIle workshops.

The exceptions are Chapter 17.72, Off-Parking and Loading and Chapter 5, Stormwater, in the Design Guidelines. Public comment at the July 12, Council meeting prompted the Council to requested the Planning Commlssion to further study these two issues and make a recommendation back to the Council. Chapter 17.38, Off-Street Parking of the old zoning code and the 1992 Stormwater Manual will remain in effect until the Planning Commission reviews these issues, makes a recommendation to the Council and the City Council takes an official action on each item. The Planning Commission has the following options: 1. Recommend to the Council that the existing code, Chapter 17.38, Off-Street Parking and/or the 1992 Stormwater Manual be retained as written. 2 . Recommend to the Council that the existing Off-Street Chapter and/or Stormwater Manual be modified per the Planning Commission recommendation. 3. Recommend to the Council that the proposed Chapter 17.72, Off-Street Parking and Loading, of the new zoning code and/or the 1994 Stormwater Manual be retained as written. 4. Recommend to the Councll that the proposed Chapter 17.72, Off-Street parking and Loading of the new zoning code and/or the 1994 Stormwater Manual be modified per the Planning Commission recommendation. On the following page is a summary comparison of the existing code, Chapter 17.38; the new code, Chapter 17.72, as originally proposed by the Planning Commission; and a variety of incentives that could be used to modify either of the above chapters.

Storage volume is effected by maximum allowable release rates The DDECM sets maxImum release rates per disturbed acre which arc reduced by tile site's ability to 0 mfiltrate runoff The SMMPSB sets maximum release rates based on existing indIvidual sIte conditions The DDECM requires the maximum possible infiltration of runoff and requires soils testing to determine what amount of runoff will be infiltrated and/or released The SMMPSB encourages maximum infiltratIon, which can possibly reduce volume requirements The DDECM has a more stnngent infiltration reqUirement but allows for more liberal infiltration rates Drainage designs with the typical soils in the Yelm area, Spanaway sandy loam and Nisqually loamy sand would benefit from the DDECM's infiltration design criteria The SMMPSB allows a maximum of 10 incheS per hour after apply a safety factor where the DDECM will allow a design based on a rate of 20 Inches por hour Also of concern to the developer/builder is the water qualIty enhancement requirement. Both manuals proVIde for essentially the same features The most comrnon features currently used are biofiltration and wet ponds The SMMPSB requires that the features are designed based on the 6-month design storm event and other miscellaneous cnteria The DDECM sets speCific area reqUirements based on the developed ImperviOUS area that requires treatment Neither method proves to be more stringent on a consistent basis, rather, either may prOVide a !"nore stringent design on a cflse-by- o o e o case basIs Ooth manuals call for essentially the same accouterments such as hydroseeding, impervious liners or topsoil, etc. As to detention volume reqLllrements, either one or the other manual could allow fl}r ;! less restrictive design on 8 C8se-by-case evaluation Tile thIrd item of concern to a developerlbullder is whether or not engineered plans (or report) IS required The DDECM provIdes for abbreviated plans for certain prOjects falling under the thresholds for exemption from full design The SMMPSB has "5m311 parcel" mlllJnillm requirements In essence, these two sets of requirements are the same as the jurisdictions administrator can set equivalent conditions or reqUirements If"') both Tho net effect on developers over a range of projects would be the same under the gUIdelines of either manual The effect on the jurisdiction may be somewhat different In that the DDECM is more clear-cut on storm management design options A lot of the design Variability, sllbJectlvlty has been elIminated, whIch simplifies both application and revlow of design It is much simpler to determine if a storm plan/design meets ttlO reqUIrements of the DDECM than the SMMPSB STORM DRAINAGE CHAPTER 5 o 5.000 STORM DRAINAGE 5 010 General The standards established by thIS chapter are intended to represent the mllllmUffi standards for the design and constructIon of storm draIllage facilities The enclosed document "Dramage Design and Erosion Control Manual for Thurston Region, Washington" is consIdered a part of this chapter and the Public Works Standards This Drainage Manual sets forth the mmunum drainage and erosion control requirements as supplemented herein. 5 020 DeSIgn Standards The design of storm draIllage andlor retentIon/detention system shall depend on theIr type and local sIte conditions The deSIgn elements of storm drainage systems shall conform to City standards as set forth herein and follow current deSIgn practIce as set forth III SectIon 3 010 The folloWIllg design consideratIons shall apply' A.

Because the primary purpose of consolidated open space IS to provide usable area for recreanon acnvIties, buffer zones, and green belt areas, the open space must be designed for this mtent. Any use of this area for stormwater detentIon/retentIOn must clearly be subordmate to and not detract from open space uses. Because active recreatIOn requires primarily flat topography, the usable open space will be predominantly flat. In no event shall slopes exceed 4 1 where dramage facilities are present and a minImum of 50 percent of the IIllear slope length shall not exceed 7 1 Design of the combmed facility, as well as ease of o 7/95 5 - 1 ....~ f =_. ~-~.

PARKING Goals 1 Communicate the State Legislatures intent to reduce the number of single occupied vehicles A reduction in available parking is an integral component to solving this traffic problem 2 Explain that mixed use developments have unique parking -demand characteristics 3 The Institute of Traffic Engineers (a document the Cit~ uses to calculate trip generation) has conducted se\eral s11rveys showing a reduced parking demand for retail centers 4 The City's current language in the code for parking promotes increased area of asphalt which impacts economiL and aesthetic feasibility Automotive traffic in Washington's metropolitan areas is a major source of congestion pollution emissions and consumption of energy In the attempt to reduce single occupied vehicles and commute trips, the state has established a Transportation Demand Management Program [RCW 70 94 521J for those counties experiencing the greatest automobile related pt'oblems Al though Thurston Coun ty does not have the same problems King County has it is important to preempt as much as possible, future transportation difficulties that mav occur in the Yelm area More specific to parking the legislation finds that increased parking availability promotes greater numbers of single occupied vehicles RCW 70 94 527 (4)(e) states that "a review of local parking policies and ordinances as the:.- relate to employers

the suggested alternative parking reduction programs into it's new parking regulations [17 24 140(B)(3)], but failed to consider applicability of these incentives toward differing uses e e e Page 2 Retail centers for instance usually contain a variety of uses It is characteristic of mixed use developments for a consumer to drive to a center and utilize more then one use For e'<:ample, a consumer <;vill plan a visit to the center intending on conducting banking business, to eat a meal and go grocery shopping The consumer only needs one parking space throughout the duration of the visit 17 24 140 (B) attempts tu address this characteristic but does not specifically state that a credit will be given to mixed use developments that is under single ownership -Statement We feel that mi'<:ed use

Drainage Goals 1 Provide documented information on the effectiveness of pollutant removal in biofiltration swales 'e e e Page 3 2 Outline recommendations In the last twenty years, uncontrolled storm runoff that accompanies development has posed a substantial and pervasive threat to the quality of the nation's lakes, rivers, and streams In order to reduce the impacts of the relatively dilute pollutant loads carried by urban runoff COST EFFECTIVELY, stormwater managers have advocated the use of passive, technically simply, and relatively fle~ible methods for treating urban runoff These systems are termed best management practices (BMP's) Wet detention ponds, infiltration basins, constructed wetlands, as well as -biofiltration devices such as filter strips and grassy swales are some of the BMP's that have been suggested or required for stormwater qualit~ management, both locally and nationally A multi-agency comprehensive studv ~as conducted to determine the effecti\eness of

percent e e e Page 4 Statement While the intent of the Thurston County Surface Drainage Manual is to control stormwater runoff and water quality, they do not follow DOE guidelines and their requirements for biofiltration are excessive, inefficient and costly Current studies prove that pollutant removal occurs primarily in the first 125 feet of the swale and minimal, if any, removal occurs after 200 feet State standards will recommend a removal rate of approximately 80~ Further, if the designed detention system is infiltration, additional pollutants will be removed as water

This study was conducted to determine the pollutant removal effectiveness of a grassy swale designed spedfically for its water treatment benefits. In addition, the study sought to measure effectiveness of two swale configurations differing in length and water residence time. The two configurations are referred to as the 200-foot and lOa-foot configurations. The ZOO-foot configuration was found to have a hydraulic residence time of approximately 9 minutes; the laO-foot configuration, 4.6 minutes In addition, the \;fanning's roughness coeffident, referred to as Mannints n, was also measured in the 200-foot configuration. RESULTS Major findings of the study are summarized below Pollutant Removal Performance The biofiltration swale studied (which was designed according to criteria en in Homer, 1988) was seen to consistently remove particulate pollutants such as total suspended solids (83 percent removal), turbidity (65 percent) and metals of largely particulate character, such as lead, zinc, iron and aluminum (63 percent to n percent). Materials which adhere to the grass surfaces, such as oil and grease and total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) were also effectively removed (about 74 percent). Metals of less particulate character, such as copper; and dissolved metals were generally less consistently removed. Dissolved zinc removal averaged 30 percent for the 200-foot configuration. Dissolved copper, iron, and aluminum removals were negative on average, although for some events positive removals were seen. Dissolved lead was always below the detection level, so conclusions t about removal could only be inferred from the behavior of other similar metals. ~ i Nutrients were removed to varying degrees, with best removals seen for bio. available phosphorus (40 percent), followed by total phosphorus (29 percent) Poor r negative removals were seen, on average, for dissolved nutrients, such as ortho hosphorus (ortho-P) and nitrate+nitrite-nitrogen (nitrate+nitrite-N). , -, , o The removal of fecal coliform bacteria was highly variable. Some of the data showed good removals, while other data showed elevated concentrations in the outflow. These increased loadings were probably caused by external sources (such as pet wastes) and bacterial multiplication on the swale bottom and on the wooden flume bottom. Figure 1-1 summarizes the pollutant removals associated with the ZOO-foot swale configuration ranked in order of treatment effectiveness. The figure represents the average of removals seen for each of six events. 90 83 80 70 60 .. ~ 50 E .. a:: #- ~ 30 0 20 10 0 m Oil .1d Fe Pb Turbidity T-Zn/T-AI T-Cu SAP TP Dissolved G~H Zn Figure ,-,. Pollutant Removal of a 200-Foot Swale (9-minute Average Hydraulic Residence Time) Hydraulic Residence Time A hydraulic residence time of about 9 minutes (at the ZOO-foot length configuration) resulted in good removal of particulate pollutants, oil and grease, and TPH. This residence time is recommended as a basis for design for most biofiltration swale applications. Longer residence times are recommended if solids removal In excess of about 80 percent is desired. o '-2 ( \ t 'or L r o I, IT n: IT: at de gr de M, ill 'ec ~E ~N ec -- When the hydraulic residence time was reduced to an average of 4.6 minutes the l00-foot length configuration) visual observations and performance data for ~f'.. and iron indicated that pollutant removal performance was poorer than for tfil9-minute: 200-foot configuration. Because of a high variance in average removal for the 100-foot configuration, data for parameters other than zinc and iron could not be shown to be significantly different from those observed for the longer detention time configuration. However, it is suggested that a residence time of 4 to 5 minutes is not adequate to assure consistently good pollutant removals, partIcularly for storms with significant rainfall peaks. More work is needed before a residence time of less than 9 minutes can be recommended with confidence as adequate for biofiltration swale design. Manning's n Value This study has shown that Manning's n did not vary significantly with changes in slope between 3 and 4 percent, but did vary with flow rate. Variation was also seen with grass height (6 inches vs. 12 inches) For a grass height of 6 lIlches and a flow rate of 0.51 feet per second, the Manning's n values observed were betvveen 0.192 to 0 198 (dimensionless). Considering uncertainties involved in this study, and erring on the conservative side, a Manning's n of 0.20 is recommended for swale design for stormwateI treatment applications. In applying this information, the user should be aware that the Manning's n 0020 was measured for grass having blade densities averaging from 600 to 1,600 blades/ft2. The swale had infrequent maintenance (mowing and other lawn mamtenance activities such as aeration and fertilization). For regularly mowed and mamtained swales, grass is likely to be denser, and hence the Manning's n value may be higher than 0.20. Therefore, it is recommended that the Manning's n value of 0.20 found in this study be adopted as the minimum value for biofiltration swale desIgn. More work should be done to investigate Manning's n for regularly mowed grass. [ Before mowing, when grass was about 12 inches, the Manning's n t determined for the same swale was 0.24. It is reasonable to apply this higher Manning's n value in situations where swales can only be infrequently maintained, such as for rural roads. However, in general, regular mowing of swales is recommended. RECOMMENDAT10NS FOR PLANNING, DESIGN, INSTALLATION, o MAINTENANCE Based on the collective experience of the Biofiltration Project team, commendations were made in the areas of landscaping, design parameters, o 1.3 - installation, maintenance, and enforcement. These recommendations supplement the primary data on pollutant removal effectiveness and Mannin~s n values collected during the project. Highlights are summarized: \ 0 . Landscaping can be integrated into water quality swales, but precautions are needed to prevent shading and leaf drop, which can kill the grass, and transport of soil from the planting beds into the swale. . Uniform spreading of flow at the head of the swale is important for effective pollutant removal. . Maximum design velodty should not exceed 0.9 feet per second to prevent exceedance of the treatment capability of the swale. . A hydraulic residence time of 9 minutes is recommended for pollutant removals of about 80 percent of total suspended solids. If higher levels of performance are desired, longer residence times are recommended. . Swale width should be limited to about 7 to 8 feet (the width of a typical backhoe loader) unless special measures are provided to assure an even level of the swale bottom, uniform flow spreading, and management of flows to prevent formation of low-flow channels. o c . No specific swale length is recommended, but the recommended hydraulic residence time and width will result in a minimum length for a particular set of geometric and vegetation characteristics. In the case of the 200-foot swale studied, application of these residence time and width criteria would result in a minimum length of 125 feet. . Swale slopes should be between 2 and 4 percent. Under drains should be installed if slopes are less than 2 percent. If standing water is likely for prolonged periods (for example, several weeks) due to low gradients or interception of the water table or base flow, wetland vegetation should be used rather than grass. . Water depth should be limited to no greater than one half the height of the grass up to a maximum of 3 inches of water depth. For taller grass, water depth should be less than or equal to one third the grass height. . Regular mowing is strongly recommended. Not only does regular mowing encourage thicker, healthier grass, but leaves, litter, and ,..... .. .... - ~ _ _""T"- ". .:- c other obstructions to good flow spreading are removed in the process of mowing. .' Regular maintenance of swales is key to assuring good water quality performance. Spedfying mowing frequencies, regular inspection and repair on site plans is recommended. Establishing performance bonds retained through the first year of operation has also been effective in assuring early problems are addressed. i \ I \ c c '.5 o o o YELM PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES MONDAY, AUGUST 7,1994,4:00 P.M.

Public Hearing opened the hearing at 4 04 p m by Chair Tom Gorman 2 Public Hearing - A. Off-street Parking and Stormwater Manual - Staff Report Staff report given by Cathie Carlson. Cathie reported that on July 12, 1995 the city council voted to adopt the new zoning code and development guidelines with the recommendations that the planning commission had forwarded to them with a few minor amendments At that meeting, there was a public comment that expressed concerns about the requirements for parking (Increased ratio and the stormwater guidelines regarding the size of the retention pond area. CounCIl asked that the planning commiSSion look at those two issues and make recommendations before final adoption. In the Yelm Planning Commission August 7, 1995 1 meantime, the city has retained the existing parking codes and have gone back to the 1992 Stormwater Manual. Options 1) retain off-street parking and retam the 1992 Stormwater Manual as written; 2) retain the bodies of those, with minor changes; 3) retain the proposed chapter of the zoning code, off-street parking which was in the onginal one forwarded to the council, 4) keep the 1994 manual which the city has been using for a year or make minor changes; 5) write all new codes o The existing code is 1 parking stall per 200 sq ft of commerciallretarl space. The new code is a formula that breaks down to 1 per 150 Public Comments John Huddleston, voiced concern that under the proposed guidelines, It would turn the City of Yelm into a vast parking lot with vast stormwater retention ponds Marv Hanna Murphy, representing Mike Edwards, property owner on a proposal submitted to the city called (for now) the "Yelm Retail Center" Ms Murphy reported that she has researched national and local studies concerning adequate parking and management practices for water systems, and is presenting her findings to the planning commissIon along with some alternative gUidelines and to provide documentation that Justifies her suggestions 0 Roberta Longmire asked if studies were taken In rural areas as opposed to urban Mary Murphy said she didn't know but she knew that the ITE tries to give accurate guidelines that will reflect all situations E.J. Curry said she would like to see the comments that were made at the city council meeting before the planning commission makes a decision regarding this subject Adam Rivas asked if by reducing parking requirements will discourage development Cathie Carlson responded that if you reduce sIgnificantly the amount of parking, you may be encouraging development right now In the long run, as uses change and sites develop there may not be a site suitably available to development. Joe Huddleston mentioned that another consideration is the percentage of business that are on a bus route. Yelm Planning Commission August 7, 1995 2 o c c c ---~Ti ,-~ .r-"-'--'-.-;;,,--~. -;- -:-~ John Huddleston stated that there is poor pedestrian access at the Nisqually Plaza. There is a need for more pedestrian access, not parking spaces Tom Gorman asked If the planning commission wanted to continue the hearing to have more time to review the material and comments made to the city council. It was decided to continue this matter until the planning commission meeting on August 21, 1995 Bob Connolly, 5616 Lacey Blvd , Lacey, W A gave an overview of the Design Manual for Pierce and Thurston counties and the Department of Ecology. He recommends the use of the Thurston County Regional Drainage Design and Erosion Control Manual Shelly Badger wanted to add as clarification that the City of Yelm has been using the 1992 Manual and they have been giving variances from that manual to reduce the volume to get closer to the new 1994 manual The proposal is to adopt the 1 994 manual which takes some of those reductions Into account. Tom Gorman asked if there was public comment on this issue Shelly responded that there had been public comment at the July 12 meeting there was concern that the King County Drainage Manual was more restrictive than the state or some of our adjoining counties. Ben Cook, IS working with John Huddleston re development of 10 acres He used the DOE Technical manual and the Thurston County manual tables and took the ratios to determine the amount of pond area required USing those two tables he came up With a pond capacity of approx. 16,000 cu ft. That consumes approx 2-3 lots In a 10 acre development. Mary Murphy reported that she researched studies regarding current standards for use swales and the amount of area required. John Huddleston commented that he felt the requirements were excessive Tom Skillinqs, Skillings & Connolly pointed out that things to be considered would be 1) Issue of how well they work with regard to maintenance, 2) design flaw in the swale in that water sometimes doesn't make it to the pond, 3) issue regarding water quality and protection of the aquifer, 4) consistent use of treatment used in and Yelm Planning Commission August 7, 1995 3 around Thurston County area Mr Skillings says all local entities are using the same requirements. Tom Gorman - decision on this matter was tabled until August 21 0 meeting. B. Design Guidelines - minor changes Shelly Badoer reported that there will be changes to the Development Guidelines due to office error on the Transportation section There also will be language added to the street standards 3 Cathy Carlson asked how the planning commission wanted to handle a work program for the Design GUidelines and Sign Code Adam Rivas, Glenn Blando, Roberta Lonqmire and Buffy Clark volunteered to work on the sub-committee 4 Other - No other busmess 5 There being no further business, the meetmg was adjourned at 5.52 p m The next planning commission meeting will be held of Monday, August 21, 1995 at 4 00 p m Respectfully submitted, o Kris Taylor Secretary Tom Gorman, Chairperson Planning Commission Date Yelm Planning Commission August 7, 1995 4 o c c c (]) SIGN IN SHEET FOR SPEAKERS MEETING: YELM PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING LOCATION: YELM CITY HALL DATE: AUGUST 7, 1995 AGENDA ITEM( S) Please slgn in if you wish to speak at the meeting.

Many hours of discussion and debate regarding the downtown traffic congestion and possible short and/or long term solutions occurred during the transportation planning process. As a result, it was recommended and adopted that the by-pass 'corridors be pursued and that: Yelm Avenue remain a 3 lane street. The Comprehensive Transportation Plan is available for $25.'00 at- City Hall. The City of Yelm contracts with the Olympic Air Pollution Control Authority (OAPCA) to review and an'alyze applications from Industrial and Commercial users who propose an activity which omits pollutants. OAPCA staff performs an extensive analysis of the proposed pollutants and determines if their impact is ,below or above the Acceptable Source Impact Level (ASIL) as prescribed in the Washington Air Toxics Regulation. OPACA recently analyzed an application from AMTEC to increase their styrene emissions. OPACA's analysis found the proposed level of emissions to be below the ASIL. In accordance with the washington Air toxics regulations, this outcome means that emissions are, II sufficiently low to protect human health and safety from potential carcinogenic and/or other toxic effectsll (WAC 173-460-070.) c The Planning Commission relies on citizen input and comments to aid in the decision making process. Again, thank you for taking the time to provide your input on how the City of Yelm can continue to strive for improving our quality of life. Sincerely, ~WJ~ Catherine Carlson City Planner @.

Staff Report: The staff report was given by Cathie Carlson. The city received an application for Preliminary Plat for a l2-one acre lot industnal park. The apphcant is Michael O'Rear The applicant is also being represented by Dennis Cochran and Randy Orth, consultants. The location of the property IS the east side of Rhoton Road SE, between N.P Road NE and Canal Road SE. Currently zoned IZ, Industrial Zone. Area land use to the north, residential, south, industrial, east, industrial and west, reSIdential. The applicant has proposed an internal loop road with a 40 ft. right-of-way, however, the current street standard for this proposal requires a CommercIal Collector of 84 ft. right-of-way Staff worked with the applicant and has suggested a 57 ft. right-of-way, consisting of two 12 ft. traffic lanes, two 8 ft. paved shoulders, and two 6 ft. planter strips and one 5 ft. sidewalk. The Traffic Generation and Trip Distribution Analysis was prepared by S Chamberlain & ASSOCIates. Based on the ITE manual it is estimated that the site will add 126 new vehIcle trIpS during the p.m. peak hour.k Of these 126 trips, approx. 100 trips will enter and 26 will exit the project site during the p.m. peak hour The effect that has on Five Comers is approx. 17% based on the calculations. Chamberlain also looked at the intersection of First Avenue and Yelm Avenue intersections. Buffie Clark arrived at1-<13 p.m. A Mitigated Determination of Non-SIgmficance was issued on June 27, 1995 The comment Yelm Planning Commission July 17, 1995 1 c period expired on July 13, 1995 There were no objections to the proposal in the comments received. It meets all critena of the Yelm Comprehensive Plan. The proposed internal road system does not meet the current design standards for a commercial collector Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat applicatIon with the follow conditions. c (I) The applicant shall contribute financially to the Five-Corners intersection improvement and/or the Y-2 Alternate Route as specified in the 1992 Yelm Comprehensive Plan, (2) the applicant and the City will work with WSDOT on signal tIming modifications to traffic control system to help improve traffic operations until other major roadway facilities are implemented around the city center; (3) Burning of large piles of debris on the site will require the applicant to secure any necessary approval and penn its from the Dept. of Natural Resources; (4) frontage improvements to Rhoton Road are required as per City Development Standards. The applicant may request a deferral of improvements and enter into an agreement waiving any right to protest the fonnation of a LID or Latercomer's Agreement; (5) the proposed drainage plan IS to service only the project roadway system and frontage improvements on Rhoton Road. The FlOal Drainage Plan shall meet the requirements of the City's Erosion and Drainage Control Manual. (6) the extension of utilities and system upgrades (if required) to the site and installation of utIlities on-site will be at the developers' expense; (7) The City of Yelm can provide water and sewer to the site. However, lOdustrial uses and their utility needs vary greatly, therefore capacity and infrastructure needs will be reviewed for each lot during the individual site plan review process; (8) the Public Works Department suggested the follow modificatIOn to the Commercial Collector standard. I) the 17 ft. stonnwater treatment swale required on each side of the centerline be eliminated If the site stonnwater is tightlined to the detention pond. Tightlined stonnwater must meet the requirements of the Yelm Erosion and Drainage Control Manual, 2) two 12 ft. traffic lanes, 3) two 8 ft. paved shoulders 4) two 6 ft. planter strips and 5) one 5 ft. sidewalk. The modified commercial collector will reqUIre a 57 ft. right-of-way plus the 10ft. utilIty easement on both sides of the street. Applicant: Mike O'Rear stated that origlOally talking about 66 ft. right-of-way He stated he would like to get rid of the 8 ft. paved shoulders. Mr O'Rear added that they would like to eliminate the 8 ft. shoulders. Cathie Carlson stated that the staff discussed the different types of industrial that could potentially use the site and since the is a WIde variety of vehicles that could use the site, and staff felt the width of the shoulders should be retained. Dennis Cochran. civil engineer asked If staff was considerIng the two 12 ft. lanes with paved shoulders as drIving surface, not as shoulders. Cathie Carlson stated that the staff viewed them as a backup to potentially large vehicles in the site. Mr Cochran said that the comment that came back at the time of the meeting with staff was that they could have utilized a pair of cul- de-sacs with a fire lane between them. From an engineering standpoint he stated he didn't see the need to have two 12 ft. lanes and two 8 ft. shoulders. What the applicant would like to see is the automation of the 8 ft. shoulder, elImination of the parking strips because they serve no purpose-curb and walk on one side and even that is questionable because they would like to discourage pedestrian traffic through the site. Would like to place the landscaplOg behind the sidewalk and behind the curb where it could be utilized as a portion of the landscaplOg for the individual lots. They believe that would cut down the amount of impervious area. Mr Cochran Said If the intention of the 8 ft. shoulder is to give more maneuvering room, let's not call It a o Yelm Planning Commission July 17, 1995 2 c o c shoulder, let's call it a driving surface and it can be dealt with that way Tom Gonnan asked for clarification of what they are proposing. Mr. Cochran explained that they would prefer two 12 ft. lanes, curbing gutter on both sides and integrated sidewalks. Shirley Ledgewood. read a letter submItted by Cathy O'Neal of the Chamber of Commerce, encouraging the City to assist Mr O'Rear in this project. Public Comments. John Huddleston asked what the reqUIrements were for bufferIng between the residential areas and the industrial areas. Cathy Carlson responded by saying that the application meets current zoning. Landscaping also meets the current code. John went on to ask If new reqUIrements have been added to the code since the time of this application? Cathy advised that the City Council adopted at the last meeting does not go In effect until July 25, 1995 Ouestions from Staff or the ApplIcant: Buffie Clark stated that she recalled that the reason they chose to put an 8 ft. paved surface on the road was for bicycle use. Shelly Badger explained that street sections that have a bike lane are designated as such and they are striped as a bike lane. The required pavement markings are not being required on this section. Buffie Clark asked what types of businesses would be located In the park. Mike O'Rear stated small businesses, warehouse space, candle factoI)', etc. Shelly Badger added that an 8 ft. shoulder allows for on-street parking. Dennis Cochran asked if the 8 ft. shoulder IS considered part of the parkIng requirement does that reduce the amount of parking required on sIte? Tom Gonnan went on to asked what and how the parkIng ratio on site would be decided. Cathy Carlson explained that the code makes some distinction between uses, I.e., retail use is higher than industrial. Shelly Badger explained that it could be different dependIng on the use and building. Mike O'Rear asked if the site required three parking stalls could they use the on-street parking to count those spaces. Cathy Carlson responded no, as on-site parking would be required. Tom Gonnan asked If Ken Gannann could offer any comments on discussion about wide turning vehicles. The planning department has encouraged the planning commission to go to a template driving surface WIth minimum right-of-way so that all development that took place would allow for on-street parking. The feeling was that it needs to be carried through with private roads, meeting the same standards as the city roads and that was the basis for that. Also, the fact that pedestrians will use the street surface if sidewalks are not available for their use. When the project starts to get built out, there is always a need for addItional parking. Mr. Gannann also added that parking surface will be controlled by the line of sight and entI)' into the pads. The Public Works Department would like to see a 57 ft. minimum. The public hearing was closed at 4.38 p.m. Yelm Planning Commission July 17, 1995 3 c c c 95-25 MOTION BY ROBERTA LONGMIRE TO RECOMMEND FOR APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL WITH THE CONDITIONS AS STATED IN THE STAFF REPORT DATED JULY 11, 1995.

Mayor Wolf opened the public hearing at 7:33 pm. Ken Garmann introduced Perry Shea, who explained that the program is prepared yearly and has been condensed from 40 to 14 projects that are prioritized by need. Projects 1 (Stevens Ave.) & 2 (Edwards St.) - did not received Transportation Improvement Board funding due to the limited availability of funds. Projects are generally very competitive and need a substantial dollar match. We will attempt to increase the City's match to earn extra points. Project 3 (Y-2 Connector) - Grant awarded in 1993. Hope to begin study by the end of the year. Project 4 (Yelm Ave./Bald Hills Rd. Traffic Signal) - Funding is being accumulated through impact fees calculated on the number of vehlcle trlps generated. PAGE 1 Project 5 (Yelm Ave. Improvements) - For road improvements to the south side of the roadway. Project 6 (Mosman St/) - Realignment of intersection at 1st c=) St. Project 7 (Second St.) - from Yelm Ave. to Mosman repalr shoulders, pave, drainage, walks and lighting. Project 8 (Creek St.) - the developers are working with the City to discuss the process and funding. Hope to have work done the end of next year. Probably 100% of the funding will come from private sources. Project 9 - 14 are scheduled for improvements during the 3rd to 6th year of the program. Mayor Wolf requested public comment on the program. John Huddleston - asked how to get a project added to the program. It was suggested that the first contact be with City staff. However, projects are part of a regional plan with yearly updating permitted. Being no additional comment, Mayor Wolf closed the public hearing at 7:51 pm. a. Resolution No. 332. 95-122 MOTION BY AMOS LAWTON, SECONDED BY DON MILLER ACCEPTING RESOLUTION 332 APPROVING THE 1996-2001 SIX-YEAR STREET PROGRAM. CARRIED. ~PUbliC Comment/Questions John Huddleston - Asked if comments would be accepted during discussion of 9 b. Mayor Wolf responded that comment had been received during two public hearings and open work sessions. Shelly Badger added that accepting comment on the agenda item would in essence open an unadvertised publlc hearing. c=) Mr. Huddleston commented that he felt the commercial development parking requirements, which he had believed were being written to allow a trade off for mixed use and benefits were actually going to be made more restrictive than current regulations with 1 parking stall required per 150 sq. ft. of development. Mr. Huddleston belleves this conflicts with the vision's plan intent and will increase development costs. Shelly Badger commented that the Planning Commission recommendation does increase gross parking requirements by 25% (pg. 17.26.5). Staff recommended that the ordinance be adopted as is and that the parking lssue then be referred to the Planning Commission. 8 CITY COUNCIL JULY 12, 1995 PAGE 2 c Mike Edwards - suggested a wording change from ownership to tenants to the parking requirements found in 17.24.140 B-2 which addresses adjoining parking facilities developed and designed as one parking facility and permits a reduction of up to 15% of the total combined required parking spaces in such situations. Mr. Edwards expressed concern that a mixed use provision lS not included in the ordinance for businesses that don't require much parking; that section 17.24.140 B-3, alternative programs considered for site plan review, does not include specific amounts of parking reductions for such programs, and that the criteria does not have a corrunercial/retail use application; and that creating additional parking spaces conflicts with the Public Transportation Policy's goal to increase public transit. Also questioned were drainage standards. Yelm has matched Thurston County's, which are more restrictive than the standards established by the Department of Ecology. Mr. Edwards felt that many opportunities could be lost by these issues that present the corrununity as not being open to managed growth and being overly restrlctive. Larry Schorno - questioned why the City would change from the current 1 parking space per 200 sq. ft. of developed space to a more restrictive parking requirement? c There were no additional corrunents/questions. 8 . New Business: a. Resolution 331 Agnes Colombo explained that this resolution will permit purchases of up to $15,000 without formal bid procedures. The resolution has specific guidelines on the number of vendors to be contacted and basic information to be obtained. Funds in excess of $1,500 must be approved by the CAO/Mayor. The policy should result in reduced advertising costs and staff time. MOTION BY DON MILLER, SECONDED BY MARTHA PARSONS ACCEPTING RESOLUTION 331 SETTING PROCEDURES FOR PROCUREMENTS COSTING LESS THAN $15,000. CARRIED. 95-123 9. Old Business: a. Animal Custody scheduled for 8/9/95. b. Ordinance 555 - Zoning Ordinance and Map and Development Regulations. Changes made to the ordinance as the result of discussion at public hearlngs included: 17.06-5 17.12-1 Major/minor auto sales definitions Permittlng mobile/manufactured housing in all residential zones on slngle lots. c CITY COUNCIL JULY 12, 1995 PAGE 3 17.20.050-B. Establishing a minimum 20 ft. driveway approach and 15' setback on local streets. Auto sales, minor as a permitted use in C-l Requiring foundations for mobile homes Stormwater retention/detention area vegetation. C) 17.26.030-A. 17.63.050-A. 17.80.050-F.2. Comments from the state were received late today and will be given to the Planning Commission for consideration along with any changes to be incorporated into the ordinance. Shelly Badger suggested that Council could adopt the ordinance without the drainage chapter allowing additional study time or adopt exclusive of sections. Tom Skillings - commented that Thurston County had adopted drainage criteria that is more restrictive than DOE's because aquifer protection is critical due to porous soils and a sensitive aquifer.

SECONDED BY JOE HUDDLESTON. E.J. CURRY ABSTAINED. MOTION CARRIED. 2 Development Guidelines Cathv Carlson presented a review of the requirements for manufactured homes and in which zone they are allowed. She outlined the requirements in the City of Lacey and the City of Tumwater Shelly Badger added that they are presently allowed on an individual lot, in every zone except the R-4 zone, and in a sub-division or park. Chapter 17 63 requires porches, foundations, etc. Lyle Sundsmo commented on "site-built" homes vs. manufactured homes, statmg that manufactured homes were almost the same as "site-built" homes. She'lly Badger reported on the work session. The result was that they felt that mobile/manufactured homes should be allowed in all reSidential zones versus excluding them. Yelm Planning Commission June 19, 1995 1 c c c Roberta Longmire and E.J. CUrry voiced concern that people are looking for affordable housmg. E.J. added that she felt manufactured homes should be allowed in R-4 because it is discriminatory to exclude them. The County figures show that Yelm is low on affordable housing. Roberta Longmire stated that there is a lot of affordable housing in the downtown district. Ed PItts stated that he was concerned about affordable housing, he does not belief there is an excess of affordable housing available. He feels manufactured homes should allowed in R-4 as long as they meet comparable standards of construction. Cathy Carlson asked Lyle Sundsmo if he could explain the differences between HUD, UBC AND L&I codes. He stated that the upscale factory built house when it is placed on the foundatIon you would be hard pressed to tell that it was built off- site. They come in all designs with porches, garages, decks, etc. HUD deals with material standards. The issue would be whether or not to allow a properly constructed factory-built, not site-built home in R-4 Manufactured homes are not mobile homes by that definition, however, they are built off-site. They are built with the same construction materials as a site-built home. It meets the Uniform Building Code. Tom Gorman asked what the price range was for manufactured homes. Lyle responded anywhere up to $125,000 Roberta Longmire asked If a requirement to meet UBC code could be added. Shelly Badger went on to add that if a home meets UBC it is allowed everywhere. If it IS a HUD home and meets the defimtion of the mobile/manufactured home it is not allowed in the R-4 but is allowed in the R-6 and R-I0 E.J. CUrry stated she would like to see HUD approved housing m the R-4 zone. Shelly Badger stated that what needed to be done today was for the planning commission to make any recommendations, changes, etc. to the (1) zoning code, (2) the zoning map and (3) the development gUIdelines, before it is forwarded to the CIty council. Cathy Carlson reviewed the Mr and Mrs. Reeder's request to moye a mobile home onto their property, whIch is located in an R-4 zone, bordering the R-6 zone, Cathy Carlson gave a brief comparison of the setbacks in neighborIng citIes. The recommendation for the City of Yelm is to require a 20 ft. setback to prevent vehicles from hanging out over the sidewalk. Tom Gorman reVIewed the tOpICS that needed to be addressed and voted on tonight.

I understand that the Planning Corrmission had additional questions regarding the letter and via this letter, I hope to give them a better understanding of the intent. The goal of the letter (not an official action of the Yelm Planning Carmission or City Council), was to ask the Planning Corrrnission to re- evaluate the zoning designation of the Four Corner's area based on the past efforts of both the Yelm and Thurston County Planning Corrrnissions during the Yelm Joint Plan process in 1988-1990. I was specifically addressing the grouping of smaller parcels irrmediately adjacent to Four Co:r:ners at the intersection of Vail and Bald Hills Roads. It may be consistent with current County rural policies for these parcels to be at a higher density than the 1/5 zone as proposed. The letter did not intend to include any parcels shown as 1/5 on the 5-2-90 Joint Plan map (which was attached to the May 24, 1995 letter) or parcels to the north of Cook Road and west of Weste:r:n Airpark that do not meet County criteria. I hope this clarifies my original letter, please know that the intent was merely for re-evaluation of this specific area based on prior efforts and the 1993 Thurston County rural policies and criteria. Please contact me if you have any further questions at 458-8405. Sincerely: St~'! ;4 bju;/ Shelly .

Cathie Carlson gave the staff report. An application was received by Arnold Ball for a site plan review for new construction of a 10,000 sq ft. retail building, which would be diVIded into ten separate retail store with 1,000 sq. ft. in each. The building will be located at 715 Y elm Ave. E. with the same ingress/egress as Arnold's Country Inn. Adjacent land use to the north, east and west of the site is commercial. Adjacent land use to the south is residential. The proposal includes 60 new parking stalls in addition to the existing parking lot. City parking standards reqUIre a mmimum 50 stalls. According to the Institute of Traffic Engineer's Manual the proposed use would generate approximately 63 PM peak hour trips. It is estimated that of those trips, 35% (22 trIpS) would be captured from existing traffic and 65% (41 trips) would be new traffic generated by the proposal. Therefore, the new impact to the street system would be 41 PM peak trips. The PM peak hour traffic generated by the existing use (Arnold's Country Inn) occurs between 6'00 p.m. and 7'00 p.m. Therefore, PM peak hour trips from the two uses would not occur simultaneously The preliminary drainage plan was submitted by review A Final Drainage Plan and construction drawings will be prepared after site plan approval and prior to construction approval.

Since that time, the City has been working with the proponent on the application. Basic Facts Proponent: Arnold Ball 2329 Log Cabin Rd. Olympia, WA 98501 Owner's Representative: S. Ray Cason, PE 7926 Lorna Drive SE Olympia, WA 98503 Proposal: Site plan proposal for the new construction of 10,000 square feet of retail space. The retail space will be divided into ten retail stores. Access will be provided through the existing ingress/egress location for the site. GUblic Notice: Notlce of the Public Hearing was published in the Nisqually Valley News on May 25, 1995, posted in public areas on May 24, 1995, and mailed to adjacent property owners on May 31, 1995. Notice was mailed to the Planning Commission mailing list and the applicant on May 31, 1995. Location: 715 Yelm Ave. E. (Arnold's Country Inn.) Comprehensive Plan: The Comprehensive Plan designation for the site is commercial. Zoning: C-1 Commercial Zone. Yelm Municipal Code, Title 17, Chapter 17.28. Area Land Use: Adjacent land use to the north, east and west of the site is commercial. Adjacent land use to the south of the site is residential. Shoreline: Not applicable. Critical Areas: Sensitive Aquifer. Resource Lands: Not applicable. C Historic Structures: Soils and Geology: Topography: Air Quality: Parking & Traffic: Solid Waste: Wastewater: Water Supply: Stormwater: Landscaplng: Power and Energy: Noise: .- None. o Spanaway gravelly sandy loam. Approximate slope of the site lS 3%. The proposed project should not substantially affect the air quality. The proposal includes 60 new parking stalls in addition to the existing parking lot. City parking standards require a minimum 50 parking stalls. According to the Institute of Traffic Engineer's Manual the proposed use would generate approximately 63 PM peak hour trips. It is estimated that of those 63 trips, 35% (22) trips would be captured from eXlsting traffic and 65% (41) trips would be new traffic generated by the proposal. Therefore the new impact to the street system would be 41 PM peak trips. - 1;';"2::0 . ~ : aO The PM peak hour traffic generated by the existing use (Arnold's Country Inn) occurs between 6:00 PM and 0 7:00 PM. Therefore, PM peak hour trips from the two uses would not occur slmultaneously. LeMay Garbage Service. City of Yelm STEP system. City of Yelm. The Preliminary Drainage Plan was submitted for review. A Final Drainage Report and construction drawings for the parking areas and impervious surfaces will be prepared after site plan approval and prior to construction approval. The proposed conceptual landscaping meets current landscaping/buffer requirements, Chapter 17.38.00. puget Power and Washington Natural Gas.

Box 479 Yelm, WA 98597-0479 Two items have been evident recently concerning the Yelm area. First there is the new paving and second is the request for more pollution by HiTech Co. I fail to understand how that with all the money it cost to do the re- paving, which really wasn't too necessary, there was not any more professional skill from the Commission to see what the priorlties are with the Yelm problems. First and foremost there is the constant traffic congestion that is not getting any better. The obvious solu- tion to getting rid of most of that is to have solid three lane throughout the entire Yelm strip. Then there would not be the constant delay waiting for someone to make a left turn. With moving the power poles back a ways and some other minor changes, including no parking on Yelm Avenue, thlS could have been done at reasonable cost before the re-paving was done It appears that the so called Yelm bypass is so for into the future that most of us will never see it done. It would help a llttle ~f the Pollce department would allow cars to pass O~o the rlght, after stopping, when there ~s a car stopped to make a \eft turn, but no, that will give you a tlcket, EXCEPT the police can do it even though they are not on a prlorlty case. I saw this happen at the post office several weeks ago That is beside the point, howev- er. The point is that there are cost effectlve ways to get the conges- tion considerable reduced or eliminated and that the Planning Commis- Slon does not have the "smarts" to get that done. The second point I read recently about the health and other problems with people living down wind from Hi-Tech and I also notice that the Commission is apparently willing for Hl Tech to raise the pollution level even more. Air, water, and noise pollution are things that are definitely not deslrable and it is a shame that this city values more Jobs for a very-very few over the health and welfare of the vast majority. I hope that some of you wake up soon before this area turns lnto another one of those cities like Tacoma which long ago aquired the title of "the Armpit of Seattle" Sincerely, GW~ Robert Fankhauser 9129 Kllllon RD SE Yelm, WA 98597-9704 ("\ V 458-7718 ... " C YELM PLANNING DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT ZONING CODE AND DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES DATE OF STAFF REPORT: MAY 30, 1995 A subcommittee was formed in February 1995, to review and revise the proposed City Zoning and Development Guidelines. The committee members are: Roberta Longmire, Buffy Clark, Adam Rivas, Glen Blando, Shelly Badger, Jerry Prock, Ken Garmann and Cathie Carlson. The C~ty Attorney's (Sandie Mackie and Jim Blundell) also provided assistance and legal clarification on many issues. Public Hearing: The Planning Commission held a public hearing at the regular commission meetings on March 6 and 20, 1995. The City Council will hold a public hearing upon the receipt of the Planning Commission's recommendation. Following is a brief description of the intent for each zoning code chapter, its highlights and significant changes from current zoning. If there was a particular lssue or concern which generated significant discussions, it will be summarized in the applicable chapter. CChapter 17.12 - Low Density Residential (R-4) Low-Density residential is intended to provide areas throughout the city for single family homes that can be served by public utilities.

Rear yard - 25'. Existing Code - 25' Main Issue/Concern The main issue in the low-density district was if mobile/manufactured homes should be allowed on single family lots. The committee recommends that mobiles not be allowed on slngle family lots, but are allowed in this dlstrict within mobile home subdivisions. C Chapter 17.15 - Moderate Density Residential (R-6) Moderate-Density residential is intended to provide are~s throug~out the city for a greater variety of housing types ~md afforc;i9-bili~y " ~ o than the low density district, and that can be served by public otilities.

The committee recommends the deletion of all text dealing with these issues. The recently developed deslgn guidelines, spearheaded by the Chamber of Commerce, lS much more concise and understandable. One of the next task for the Planning Commission is to review and revise the design guideline and make a recommendation to the City Council. Once the design guidellnes are adopted pedestrian circulation and requirements in the CBD will be addressed.

I have discussed comparable County zones with County staff and Thurston County's Light Industrial and Arterial Comrercial zones work well with Yelm's zoning code. Preservation of this area for future industrial and commercial use is extremely important to the City for the much needed expansion of our economic base. *The rezone of residential lands inside the Urban Growth Area from the 1990 Rural Residential 1 Unit/5 Acres zone to Thurston County's 1993 Rural Residential/Resource 1 Unit/5 Acres zone is merely a clean-up amendment for consistency. *We would ask that you re-evaluate the zoning classification for the area outside of the Urban Growth Area, southeast of Yelm, particularly the Four Corners area, at the corner of Bald Hills and Vail Roads. When reviewing Thurston County's rural policies and criteria, it appears that this area may meet the requirements for a 1 unit/lor 2 acres zone. During the Joint Planning process with Thurston County in 1988-1990 (prior to the Growth Manage....nent Act), the area was shown as a 1-2 units/l acre County zone. This came after months of joint meetings between City and County and much input from property owners in this area. o We recognize that Growth Management has changed the way rural zones are assessed and detennined and that the 1-2 unit/1 acre zone is too high of density for the rural area outside of the Urban Growth Area, but ask that you consider either a 1 unit/1 acre or 1 unit/2 acre zone for this area. I have included a copy of a map from the draft Yelm/Thurston County Joint Plan, which 'Was very near adoption when it was put on hold due to the Growth Management Act. * &cyckd paper q- . . ..'

We continue to think that Yelm's unincorporated urban growth area is much larger than necessary to accommodate 20 years of population growth, even though Yelm has taken another look at it We do not agree that subtracting 1036 1 acres of land inside the city limits from UGA calculations while adding 2,551 acres of unincorporated land is appropriate in sizing a UGA Please work with Thurston County to scale back the size of the unincorporated UGA o · A process for identifying and siting essential public facilities is needed If you have questions or concerns about our comments, please call me or Rita R Robison at (360) 753-2222 We extend our continued support to you in achieving the goals of growth management and look forward to seeing your draft development regulations Congratulations to your community for the work they have done Sin.c.erely, ~'1 /i,NL: Steve Wells Assistant Director Growth Management Services SW/co Enclosures cc Alexander Mackie Shelly Badger, City Administrator Department of Ecology o .

Mr. Mackie explained that the development regulations include the formation of and/or amendments to the: (a) Zoning Map, (b) Zoning Ordinance, (c), Critical Areas Ordinance, (d) SEPA Ordinance, and (e) Development Standards. He stated that the revisions to Yelm's Official Zoning Map to be considered include those land use designations in the Draft Comprehensive Plan (for those areas inside the Yelm city limits) and any others the Planning Commission feel may be necessary based on public input. Also, an entirely new zoning ordinance is necessary to carry out the policies set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.

Staff Report The staff report was given by Shelly Badger Shelly explained that the property is a 1 43 acre piece located at the northwest corner of Burnett Road and SR 510 The request is consistent with the comprehensive plan The applicant requested zOning of Commercial (C-1), however the Planning Department recommends approval of the annexation with zoning consistent with the Yelm Comprehensive Plan Joint Plan With Thurston County scheduled for adoption in late February John Huddleston spoke with Gene Borges regarding the issue of storm water The piece of property in question has a natural swale depression in it and when developing the property across the street it Will allow the use of this property for storm water versus using the property across the street which is level When the repavement of SR 507 occurs, the state Will be looking for areas to use for storm water because there will be new storm water to deal with when they start c c c 95-04 3 the resurfacing there So there is an opportunity to combine storm water use That is the reason for the annexation request Public Comments Diane Thompson, owner of the property at issue, has lived on Burnett Road for thirty years and before that her uncle had it I trust John Huddleston not to put something across from her property that would not be acceptable to her She wanted to let the planning commission know that she is agreeable to the proposal Buffie Clark asked if it had been determined if there has to be a certain amount of treatment regarding the swales? John Huddleston responded that until it goes to the engineer to design we won't know that There are large trees on the perimeter which makes a nice break It won't be just an ugly hole in the ground The transit system already uses the property as their last stop in the City and we might be able to enhance that area as that corner develops more, providing additional space there, maybe even a parking area, etc but until engineers take a look at it it's hard to say what they will recommend there Joe Huddleston asked if there is any intention of building on the property John Huddleston responded no, not at the moment There are 10 5 acres across the street and as that property develops its going to take a rather large area for storm water to deal with that 10 5 acres, plus some other improvement, ie, highway The public hearing was closed at 4 13 P m MOTION BY E.J.

High Capacity Transit (HCT) means any transit system that operates at high speeds, high frequency, and with the capacity to move large numbers of people. There are a variety of technologies that can be used to provide HCT Light rail and commuter rail are popular forms of HCT, but it is also possible to develop premium bus servIces that match the speed, convenience, and comfort of rail service. In any case, HCT services achieve their speed by operating in exclusive rights-of-way and stopping only at major stations, rather than every two blocks like conventional bus service. HCT lines would form the backbone of a regional transit system, providing fast service for long trips, with connections to local feeder bus services as well as park and ride opportunities. What's this study all about? The Intercity Transit Authority is Thurston County's Regional Policy Committee for HCT Under state law, this committee is charged with looking at how to implement HCT solutions for Thurston County The Regional Policy Committee also includes Gary Dernich, Washington State Department of Transportation's Olympic Region Adnunistrator The Regional Policy Committee has commissioned this study as a starting point to find out whether and when HCT services might be feasible within Thurston County and between Thurston County and other counties. The study will also identify critical issues that would affect how HCT services could be implemented, including community goals, travel behavior, existing and projected land uses, parkmg policies, facility needs, costs and financing options. The Regional Policy Committee hopes the study will proVIde long-range direction for Intercity Transit and other local jurisdictions over the next 20 years on how Thurston County can prepare for a high-capacity transportation system. The study will. . Assess current and projected transportation and land-use conditions in Thurston County . Identify high-volume travel corridors and define HCT services justifiable for each. . Develop transit ridership and cost estimates. . Identify and evaluate opportunities and barriers to HCT services. . Result in a set of prioritized recommendations and a final report. Who is involved in the study? The Regional Policy Committee will oversee the HCT Feasibility Study, which IT's Long-Range Planrung staff is coordinating with assistance from Nelson/Nygaard Consulting Associates. Intercity Transit has also formed a Technical Advisory Team to work through the land use and transportation modeling aspects of the study Staff members from the cities of c c c 105 Yelm Avenue West POBox 479 Yelm, Washington 98597 (206) 458-3244 City of Yelm AGENDA CITY OF YELM PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1995, 4:00 PM YELM CITY HALL COUNCIL CHAMBERS, 105 YELM AVE.
