Re: Griffin Subdivision Application
Dear Grant
We are submitting 10-revised full size and one reduced (11" x 17") plan sets with the additional informaTlon
requested in your letter dated November 2, 2004 for the above referenced project. The following revisions have
been made to The plans:
The preliminary plat maps have been updated to show the location of Yelm Creek. At [he pre-submission
meeting for the project, the CiTy ind9cated that based on the significant distance behveen the development
and Yelm Creek (and the associated wetlands) that a wetland delineeHon would not be required. As
suoh, elevations and/or environmental information between the floodplain elevation end Yelm Creek,
including the ordinary high water mark has not been determined. The distance between Yelm Creek and
[he developed area of the site ranges between 367 and 438 feet, which is well beyond the 200-foot
shoreline jurisdiction of Yelm Creek. The extra 167 to 238 feet beyond the 200-foot shomline
jurisdictions provides ample room to account for mapping errors from the Thurston County Geodala site
on the exact location of Yelm Creek. Determining the ordinary high water mark would no[ add any
benefit or substance to the environmental review of the project.
The preliminary plat maps have been updated ro show the 200-foot setback from [he Creek and labeled as
the shorelinejurisdiction area. The tlood zone area is shown separately.
The preliminary plat maps have been updated [o show wells and underground storage ranks within 200
fee[ of the site. Copies of supporting maps from [he DOE web site identifying wells and underground
storage tanks have also been provided. The City well is located approximately 500' to the southeast of
the site and was not included on the updated maps.

4. The preliminary plat maps have been updated [o show dimensions of lots, s[reefs, property borders, e[c.
A wncepmal landscape plan for the street trees end stormwater facilities has been provided on sheet 5 of
the plan set.
The Boundary Line Adjustment, which includes The project parcel, has been recorded with Thurston
County, therefore the legal dese~ption remains Parcel B of BLA 04-00-99YL.
Thank you for reviewing the revised plans. We look forward to completing the review process and being
scheduled for the public hearing. If you have any questions, please call me at (360) 459-3609.
Sincerely,
Cathie Carlson
