This Mitigated Determination of Non Significance is based on the project as proposetl and the impacts and potential mitigation measures reflected in the following environmental documents: • Environmental Checklist (dated February 2005, prepared by George Hom) • Traffic Impact Analysis (dated March 2005, prepared by Transportation Engineering NW) • Preliminary Drainage Report (dated February 2005, prepared by SCA Consulting Group) • Amended Si[e Plan and Drainage report dated June 2005 2.

The City of Yelm has adopted a concurrency management system as required by the Growth Management Act. Chapter 15.40 YMC (Concurrency Management) is designed to ensure that the improvements required to support development are available at the time of development. A concurrency determination may be issued for a proposal as it relates to transportation issues when: the development provides on-site frontage improvements; the project makes off-site improvements as necessary to provide for the safe movement of traffc; and the project makes a contribution to projects identified the six year transportation improvement program in the form of a Transportation Facilities Charge. The Growth Management Act at Section 36.70.070 (6)(b) RCW states that a f nding of concurrency can be issued when required improvements are in place at the time of development or that a financial commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies within six years. 4. Chapter 15.40 Concurrency Management provides for mitigation measures for impacts to the City's transportation system. Chapter 15.40.020(5)(a) states that "The project makes on-site, and frontage improvements, consistent with City standard for utilities, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, bicycle lanes where appropriate, and roads necessary to serve the proposed project consistent with safety and public interest. Frontage improvements are usually required for the entire property frontage. 5. The Yelm School District has adopted a school mitigation requirement based on the demand that new residential units create for atltlitional school services and facilities. Additional demands on the school system will be mitigated through the requirement that the tleveloper enter into a mitigation agreement with the District. Mitigation Measures The developer shall mitigate transportation impacts based on the new residential P. M. peak hour trips generated by the project. The Transportation Facility Charge (TFC) shall be based on 1.01 new peak hour trips per residential unit. The proponent will be responsible for a TFC of $757.50 per dwelling unit which is payable at time of building permit. Prior to foal subdivision approval, the developer shall complete the following transportation improvements' a. The east half of Burnett Road shall be improved to City Standards for a Neighborhood Collectorfrom the southwest property line to the northwest property line. Additional right-of- way may be required for frontage improvements. b. The west half of Mountain View Road shall be improved to City Standards for a Neighborhood Collector from the southeast property line to the northeast property line. Additional right-of-way may be required for frontage improvements. c. The developer shall construct internal streets to City Standards for Local Access Residential.
