Re Site Plall Approval for SPR978203YL, ARCO AM/PM
Lor (
Dear Mrr'
The City of Yelm has completed its review of the above referenced project. Site plan approval
has been granted based upon the Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance issued December
24, 1997 and the following findings of fact and conditions of approval
1 Transportation
Finding Yelm is a small compact community most directly affected by two state highways which
bisect the community The two state highways are used by local residents for transportation
throughout the city and for access to commercial and residential areas throughout the
community In lieu of widening existing streets, the City has elect to create certain alternatives,
Y-1, Y-2, Y-3 which will avoid the need to significantly widen existing streets, and particularly
Yelm Avenue New developments do in fact burden the city's central streets, and unless the
bypass alternatives are accomplished, the City would have to require developers to pay the cost
of the internal street widening The city plans show and the City finds that adequate facilities will
be accomplished better and in a timely fashion by bypass facilities as a substitute for the
widening of existing facilities As a result, the City finds that the regional plans in fact benefit
projects in all areas on the City and will accomplish the goal of providing adequate facilities to
City standards within a reasonable time to serve the demands created by the proposed project.
The following conditions are based on the Trip Generation Study, prepare9by The Transpro
Group, dated October 16, 1997 and correspondence from SCA Engineering, dated 12-1-97
