Findings of Fact
1. This Mitigatetl Determination of Non Signifcance is based on the project as proposed and the
impacts and potential mitigation measures reflected in the following environmental tlocuments:
• Environmental Checklist (dated October 15, 2004, prepared by Parametrix)
• Traffc Impact Analysis (dated August 25, 2004, prepared by Jake Traffic Engineering, Inc.)
• Traffc Impact Analysis Addendum Letter (dated March 3, 2005, prepared by Jake Traffc
Engineering, Inc.)
• Preliminary Drainage Report (dated September 2004, prepared by Parametrix)
2. The property was originally two parcels of land approximately 8'/:acres and 10 acres in area, the
larger of which was occupied by a single family dwelling. A boundary line adjustment in January
2005 changed the parcel confgurations, leaving the house on a small parcel and the 17.45 acre
parcel subject to this subdivision application.
3. SEPA Rules intlicate a project is not categorically exempt from threshold determination

functionally related to each other, some of which are categorically exempt antl some of which are
no[ nNAC 197-11-305 (1)].
4. The traffic impact analysis (TIA) submitted as part of the subdivision application indicates that the
project wilt generate an average of 478 vehicle trips per day, with a PM peak of 51 vehicles per
hour. The TIA indicates that, with average growth:
The signalized intersection of Yelm Avenue and 1" Street (SR 507 and SR 510) will be at
a Level of Service (LOS) E, both with and without project conditions.
• The intersection of 1~' Street and Rhoton Road will be at a LOS C or better with or without
project conditions.
• The intersection of Railway Road SE and Middle Road will be at a LOS C or better with
or without project conditions.
• The intersection of 100'" Way and Grove Road SE will be at a LOS C or better with or
without project conditions.
The TIA addendum indicates that the stopping site distance and entering site distance from the
proposed intersection of the subdivision road with Middle Road to [he curve in Middle Road meet
the AASHTO requirements fora 25 mph design speed. Middle Road, pusuant [o the Yelm
Development Guidelines standards, has a design speed of 30 MPH. This speed requires a
stopping site distance of 200 and an entering site distance of 335.
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 [o 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 f nancial commitment is in place to complete the improvements or strategies within six
years.
7. Middle Road is currently a substandard road, with the exception of half-road improvements
located in front of the Willow Glenn Subdivision. Frontage improvements, if based on the revised
boundary lines of the original parcels will create a disconnected tlrive lane from Fort Stevens
Elementary to Prairie Creek Estates with partial, full improvements.
S. The series of actions by the developer, the boundary line adjustment followed by a subdivision,
unless adtlressed through the State Environmental Policy Act, allow the development to not meet
concurrency requirements for transportation improvements by avoiding the improvement of
Middle Road along the smaller parcel.
9. The property is bordered on the south side by Yelm Creek, which is listed as a Shoreline of the
State. There is a flood zone area adjacent to Yelm Creek, which encompasses the creek and its
associated wetlands, and extends over 100 feet above the Shoreline Jurisdiction area. Section
15.32.280 prohibits construction of residential structures, or any construction that results in any
increase in flood levels.
10. Chapter14.12 YMC requires the dedication of open space for all residential development.
Section 14.12.050 YMC lists four (4) attributes for qualifcation of open space.
11. The Yelm School District has adopted a school mitigation requirement based on the demand that
new residential units create for additional school services and facilities. Additional demands on
the school system will be mitigated through the requirement that the developer 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 1.07
new peak hour trips per residential unit. The proponent will be responsible for a TFC of 5757.50
per dwelling unit which is payable at time of building permit.
2. Prior to foal subdivision approval, the developer shall complete the following transportation
improvements:
a. The South half of Middle Road shall be improved to Ci[y Standards for a Neighborhood
Collectorfrom the Northwest property line to the Southeast property line, including the roatl
