with the Yelm Comprehensive Plan and all applicable City policy's and development standards.
Pursuant to Chapter 15.49, Integrated Project Review Process, a Mixed Use Planned Development is a
Type IV Permit and can be appealed in Superior Court as set forth in RCW 36.70C., JUDICIAL

this project is federal funds, the Prairie Park project will pay a percentage match for their share
of the frontage improvement.

the road standard has been modified through the curve to reflect wider driving lanes needed to
accommodate the reduced radius. Modifications have also been made to the road section
between buildings C & D deleting the on-street parking lane, increasing the planter strip width
from 6' to 11' and the sidewalk width from 5' to 10' (placing the sidewalk in the utility
easement). The remainder of the internal road has been modified from the "Local Access
Commercial" section combining the 6' planter strip and 5' sidewalk into a more pedestrian
friendly 11' sidewalk with street tree grates.
