Re Site Plan Approval for Case SPR-988220YL, Puerto Vallarta Restaurant Remodel
Dear Ms Meza.
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 17, 1998, 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.
