RE: Land Use
This letter is a follow -up to my visit with you last week. I carne to discuss the sale and
storage of RV's on this property. In September 2004 you meat with the Community
Development Department of the city of Yelm. We discussed the requirements to use
that property in conjunction with your existing building. The owner of the property, Dr.
Barrett, will need to apply for a Re- zone /Comprehensive Plan Amendment with the city.
You would need to request the zoning to be changed from C1 Commercial Zone to C2
Commercial to engage in this type of business.
Currently you are not in compliance for RV Sales and Storage. This activity is not
Allowed in C1 Zone. I am requesting you cease all activity of Storage and Sales of RV's
And Vehicles on the Barrett parcel. You have 30 days from the date of this letter to
Vacate the property of any all RV's and Vehicles and cease any and all activities.
If you should have any questions or I can be of further assistance, I can be reached on

Pre - Application Meeting
May 10, 2006
These comments are preliminary in nature and are not intended to represent final comments and or
requirements for the City of Yelm. Until a complete application is made, the Community Development
Department can only attempt to inform the applicant of general requirements as they appear in the form
presented by the applicant at the time of pre - submission.
Proponent: Teresa Mendes
Project Proposal: Display and rental of UHaul trucks & Trailers
Project Location: 109 93' Ave. SE, Yelm
Zoning and Setbacks
The property is zoned Commercial (C1), Chapter 17.26 YMC.
Applications to develop, remodel or improve properties and structures within this zone
shall require review and approval of a site plan in accordance with Chapter 17.84 YMC.
Site plan review and approval shall be required prior to the use of land or building for
the location of any commercial, industrial or public building or activity, including
environmental checklist review, and for the location of any building in which more than
two dwelling units would be contained.
Exemptions from site plan review shall be granted if:
1. There is no addition of square feet, or no additional tenant, or the expansion is
for storage only.
2. The proposed use is similar as classified by the Standard Industrial Code
Classification manual;
3. The building has been occupied with the previous 18 months.
Parking
The requirements for off - street parking and their design shall be regarded as the
minimum; however, the owner, developer, or operator of the premises for which the
parking facilities are intended shall be responsible for providing adequate amounts and
arrangement of space for the particular premises even though such space is in excess
of the minimum set forth.
Chapter 17.72 does not list an auto repair, or vehicle rental as a specific use, however
the most similar use listed is industrial use. Minimum parking requirements are one stall
per employee based on the greatest number of employees on a single shift, plus
landscaping area. No parking stall shall be located more than 50 feet from a
tree.
Type V landscaping is required in storm water retention areas, if required.
The floor and slopes of any stormwater retention /detention area shall be planted
in vegetation that is suitable and will thrive in hydric soils. The landscaping of the
stormwater facility shall be incorporated with all on -site landscaping.
A conceptual landscaping plan is required with the application for site plan review. Final
landscaping and irrigation plan is required as element of civil construction drawings,
with installation prior to occupancy.
The refuse area must be large enough to accommodate a dumpster and recycle bin.
Refuse areas must be screened with an enclosure of a material and design compatible
with the overall architectural theme. A six foot wall or fence shall enclose any outdoor
refuse collection point. The fence shall be a solid material such as wood or masonry.
Traffic
The City has adopted a Transportation Facility Charge (TFC) of $750.00 per PM peak trip.
The Code provides a default table that the applicant can use to determine new PM trips
generated. The code does not list a vehicle rental use, so a similar use is used for trip
generation. The warehousing /storage use is most similar, and creates .74 new.trips per
1,000 sq. ft. To determine the projects impact and fee, use the following formula for the
use proposed:
((Peak PM Trip Rate Gross Floor AreaY1,000)' $750.00 = TFC
Example:.74 x 3,000 = Z200 + 1,000 = 2.2 x $750.00 = $1,665.00
If the applicant feels the proposed use would not generate the default number of trips as
designated in the TFC Ordinance, and analysis prepared by a Washington State Licensed
Engineer can be submitted to the City for review and consideration.
SEPA
An environmental checklist is required when the proposal creates 4,000 sq. ft. or 20 or
more parking stalls.
Application and Process
Site Plan Review, Chapter 17.84, is an administrative process. Minimum application
requirements are located in Section 17.84.060 and are listed on the application form. A
project of this size can expect completed review in approximately 14 to 16 weeks. Land
use approval typically contains conditions of approval that the applicant must complete
prior to receiving a building permit. Upon satisfactory completion of all conditions of land
use approval, the applicant can submit building plans for approval.

We met with Teresa Mendez today, regarding the UHaul business at Bucky's. We gave Teresa 30 days from
today to hire a planner or engineer to assist her with her site plan application. Please mark your calendar for
June 9, 2006 to check with me on the progress.
Teresa requested that the other businesses on the lot follow the same rules that she has to follow. Could you
please contact Millennium RV, and the other auto repair business (I think it is called gearworks) to remove the
vehicles and RV's that have leaked over onto the adjacent lot. Also, there is a report of hazardous materials
being kept between the Bucky's building and the other automotive repair building. Would you please check on
that as well?

Pre - Application Meeting
Date September 8, 2004
These comments are preliminary in nature and are not intended to represent final
comments and or requirements for the City of Yelm. Until a complete application is
made, the Community Development Department can only attempt to inform the applicant
of general requirements as they appear in the form presented by the applicant at the time
of pre-submission.
Proponent: Millenium RV — Cheryl Goff
Project: Expansion of existing commercial use
Project Location: 109 93rd Ave SE
Yelm, WA 98597
Water
The proposed site would need to connect to the City's water system. There is an
existing 10" water line located on SR 510. This project will have to extend the waterline
down 93rd Ave SE and be 10" in size.
This project will need to install water meter(s) and fire suppression to support this type
of project.
Residential water connections are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day
and are charged at a rate of $1,500 per a residential connection (fee subject to change)
inside city limits. Each commercial unit would be charged for its estimated use. This
fee is payable at building permit issuance.
Irrigation Meter:
An irrigation meter shall be installed for the purpose of irrigation. An approved backflow
prevention device will be required for all landscape irrigation connections.
Cross Connection Control:
Washington State Department of Health, in WAC 246 - 290 -490 states that all group A
water systems with 1000 or more connections are required by the department of health
to develop and implement a cross control connection program. This program requires
all commercial buildings and irrigation systems to have a back flow prevention device
installed on the water services. A list of approved devices can be located at the above
referenced Washington Administrative Code.
Sewer
The proposed site will be required to connect to the City's sewer system. There is a 4"
sewer line available on SR 510. Your project will be required to extend a sewer main to
your proposed development. The sewer main extension shall be 4" in diameter. The
STEP system shall be designed and installed per the City of Yelm Development
Guidelines. The building will be required to install a step sewer tank (1500 gall min.)
The tank will be required to have a duplex pumping system. A civil engineer licensed in
the state of Washington shall submit this design.
Commercial sewer connections are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day
and are charged at a rate of $5,269 per a connection (fee subject to change) inside city
limits. An inspection fee of $145.00 per a STEP sewer system will also be required.
These fees are payable a building permit issuance.
Fire
All projects need to have fire protection for the buildings. When reviewing proposals or
projects for compliance with the International Fire Code (IFC) the following need to be
addressed: Does the proposal have fire hydrant coverage or how is this project meeting
the IFC requirements for fire coverage.
Stormwater
Developments with over 5,000 square feet of impervious surface are required to provide
stormwater facilities pursuant to the 1992 DOE Stormwater Manual. If stormwater
mitigation is required the types of stormwater mitigation may be wet ponds, bioswales
and filter strips. The stormwater disposal is 100% infiltration. There are 2 ways to
accomplish this: open ponds and underground galleries. The open ponds are
depressions that store stormwater and allow it to perk back into the underground
aquifer.
Street Improvements
Frontage improvements shall be consistent with Yelm's Development Guidelines. Your
project will be required to improve the your frontage alone 93`d Ave SE. The required
improvements shall be consistent with the "neighborhood collector" roadway section per
the city's development guidelines. These improvements will be widening the asphalt,
concrete curb and gutter, sidewalk, planter strip and street lighting
The interior drive aisles and parking shall be consistent with the city's parking details
and the development guidelines.
Street improvements may not be limited to above references. If a Traffic Impact
Analysis is required this may also outline additional improvements to the adjacent
roadways and intersections
ADA Requirements
The American Disabilities Act required that facilities are ADA accessible. Facility
improvements will have to meet current code. Review of these improvements will be
determined upon further review of the civil and architectural plans.

Side yard - 10'
Maximum height of buildings shall be 40 feet.
This district allows minor automobile repair as a permitted use subject to site plan
review.
Parking
The requirements for off - street parking and their design shall be regarded as the
minimum; however, the owner, developer, or operator of the premises for which the
parking facilities are intended shall be responsible for providing adequate amounts and
arrangement of space for the particular premises even though such space is in excess
of the minimum set forth.
Chapter 17.72 does not specifically list an auto facility, so the nearest use is used to
determine the minimum number of required stalls. The auto service facility will require
one space per employee, based on the greatest number of employees on a single shift,
plus one sq. ft. of parking per sq. ft. of display or retail area, and one space for each
vehicle owned, leased, or operated by the company. All parking areas must be paved,
striped, and landscaped.
A parking plan shall be submitted to the Community Development Department for
review and approval at the time of application for site plan review.
Ingress /Egress
Ingress and egress at the site shall be consistent with the Yelm Development
Guidelines, section 413.140. One vehicular access to Yelm Avenue will be allowed.
Landscaping: Chapter 17.80, Type 11, III, IV, V, & VII
• Type II landscaping is intended to provide visual separation of uses from streets,
and visual separation of compatible uses so as to soften the appearance of
streets, parking areas, and building elevation. This landscaping is used around
the perimeter of a site, and adjacent to buildings.
Type II landscaping is characterized by an 8 foot landscape strip between uses
and a 5 foot strip around buildings of any combination of evergreen and
deciduous trees (with no more than 50 percent being deciduous), shrubs,
earthen berms and related plant materials or design features may be selected;
provided, that the resultant effect is to provide partial screening and buffering
between uses and of softening the appearance of streets, parking and structures.
Type III landscaping is intended to provide visual relief where clear sight is
desired. This landscaping is utilized along pedestrian corridors and walks for
separation of pedestrians from streets and parking areas. Type III landscaping
would be required along Yelm Avenue.
Type III landscaping is typified by a six foot landscaping strip with street trees for
a large overstory canopy along streets and pedestrian corridors and grass or
other approved vegetation for groundcover. Earthen berms with grass or other
vegetative groundcover and other design features may be worked into
landscaping provided the resultant effect of providing a pedestrian - friendly
environment and visual relief where clear site is required can be achieved.
• Type IV landscaping is intended to provide visual relief and shade in parking
areas.
At least 24 square feet of landscape development for each parking stall
proposed. Each area of landscaping must contain at least 100 square feet of
area and must be at least six feet in any direction. Each planting area must
contain at least one tree. Live groundcover shall be provided throughout each
landscaping area. No parking stall shall be located more than 50 feet from a
tree.
• Type V landscaping is required in storm water retention areas, if required.
The floor and slopes of any stormwater retention /detention area shall be planted
in vegetation that is suitable and will thrive in hydric soils. The landscaping of the
stormwater facility shall be incorporated with all on -site landscaping.
A conceptual landscaping plan is required with the application for site plan review. Final
landscaping and irrigation plan is required as element of civil construction drawings,
with installation prior to occupancy.
The refuse area must be large enough to accommodate a dumpster and recycle bin.
Refuse areas must be screened with an enclosure of a material and design compatible
with the overall architectural theme. A six foot wall or fence shall enclose any outdoor
refuse collection point. The fence shall be a solid material such as wood or masonry.
Traffic
The City has adopted a Transportation Facility Charge (TFC) of $750.00 per PM peak trip.
The Code provides a default table that the applicant can use to determine new PM trips
generated. The ordinance does not list a Transmission facility, so the ITE manual is used.
The most similar use for a Transmission facility would be an Auto Care Facility(ITE Code
840). The trip generation rate is 1.43 per 1,000 square feet. To determine the projects
impact and fee, use the following formula for the use proposed:
((Peak PM Trip Rate' Gross Floor Area) /1,000)' $750.00 = TFC
Example:1.43 x 3200 = 4576 + 1,000 = 4.58 x $750.00 = S3,432.00
If the applicant feels the proposed use would not generate the default number of trips as
designated in the TFC Ordinance, and analysis prepared by a Washington State Licensed
Engineer can be submitted to the City for review and consideration.
SEPA
An environmental checklist is not required provided the proposal does not create 4,000 sq.
ft. or 20 or more parking stalls.
Application and Process
Site Plan Review, Chapter 17.84, is an administrative process. Minimum application
requirements are located in Section 17.84.060 and are listed on the application form. A
project of this size can expect completed review in approximately 12 to 14 weeks. Land
use approval typically contains conditions of approval that the applicant must complete
prior to receiving a building permit. Upon satisfactory completion of all conditions of land
use approval, the applicant can submit building plans for approval.
Other
Design Guidelines - the attached checklist must be submitted at time of application, with
written responses on how each guideline requirement is proposed to be met.
