As background in April 2008 Triance entered into a contractual agreement with Lieutenant Colonel Andy Smith and his wife Cindy to build their dream home on lot 15 to retire here. We were delayed in starting construction until the details an the water booster station were finalized. In the mean time, the Smith had secured theix financing. In September, all permits and appraisals were completed. When we informed that the city had approved the design, the developer was still working with his lender on the financing of these additional improvements but was conf dent that it would be forth coming. We proceeded accordingly due to the time that had already elapsed and the deteriorating banking environment before the Smith's last their financing.

I meet. with both Chief Rita Hutcheson and Deputy Chief Maxk Kiaig to discuss any interim options we might pursue until financing becomes available. They informed zne that they could presently and would provide w~vw.trianceY~ornes.com adequate fire service to this house and suggested that I only install a fire alarm monitor m addition to the standard smoke detectors. They acknowledged that there had been two permanent residences on the property in the recent past that had na fire protection. The location of the home to the fire station and its proximity to the fire hydrant at the base of the hill would allow them adequate fire fighting capabilities. I have enclosed a copy of their letter to me for your reference. It is my sincere hope that with this new information and given the economic circumstances that we all are now faced with,. that the city will see fit to grant us a final on the lot 15 home and allow the ~znith to move in to their dream home.. This will be the only home build on the hill until the booster station or other improvements are installed that enhance the fire flow. Lastly, I have spent my most of my life in Yelm and my family roots here go back nearly 100 years. I am very proud to say that I have invested my fortunes and my livelihood in to the home building business. I am extremely proud of the homes I have built the past couple ofyears particularly this one. The Smith family has been very active in the community and the Yelm school district.

FH1, LLC April 07, 2009 Triance Homes 16948 Kaylan Lane Rochester, WA 98579 RE: Palisade West Dear Dan, As you [snow I have been working for over' a year on raow getting resolution to the city's requirement for the installation of a water booster station at the entrance to the plat. Originally, we were optimistic that one would not be required grad pxeceded on that basis. It was not until the Erna] plat was ready to record that it was confirmed we would need to do something to improve the fire flow at the tap of the hill. The plat was recorded with that as a condition azad we were given the ok to build the frrst home. However the final occupancy permit was conditioned on resolving the matter to the city's satisfaction. We then began the design of a booster station. Unfortunately it took a lot longer to get city approval than we had hoped. As such the real estate market and banking environment continued to deteriorate. I have kept the bank in the loop and they agreed to sell lot frfteen in the interim until the appropriate city approvals were obtained and we knew what these additional improvements were going to cost. I was confident at the time that the bank was going to finance these latest inraprovenrrents based on my coznrrrunicationwitb there. I have been persistent with trying to get that accomplished for the past six month, however the banking industry continues to worsen and now appears the bank I have been working with is not able to process any additional funds for- this project at this tune for reason beyond my control. I have asked the city on several occasions for a variance on the Ere flow for all the reason we have previously discussed but to date have been unsuccessful. You will recall that there were two existing houses on the hill that had no fire flow nor city water for years. I installed a new 8" water main and fire hydrants up the hill with the intent to loop it back out Hwy 507 as phase 2 is completed. There is adequate fire flow at the base of the hill but clue to the height of the rise where the new house sits, about 500 feet away. the residue pressure drops from about 53 psi to ] $ psi. The city's minimum is 20 psi. That said, I would suggest you contact the fzre department and see if there were any way they would consider the fact that there is only one house on the hill. It was built to current building codes, it replaces the two older homes that existed there for years, there is fire flow available now where there wasn't before. The next available fire hydrant that meets the minimum flow and pressure requirements' is only a few hundred feet way near the bottorn of tlae hill. You rnight also offer up to install an ez~ianced smoke and fire detention system above the normal detectors. This is only an interim situation. When I am able to get financing, the booster station will be installed and the pressure at the top of the hill will be erzlaanced. I will continue to seek alterxaatc financing options to get this issue resolved to the best of my ability. Hopefully your requests' to the city will have~tter results. FH1 LLC.... - ~~,'~;' /~~ f a.

This is approximately a three minute response. Given the close vicinity to the station and the recommendation for an early detection system, the potential for fire growth beyond 25% is highly unlikely. A 50% involvement or greater is incompatible with life. A fire with 50% or greater involvement would be mitigated in the same fashion as it would be today given the current fire flow ability on scene. 2. The fire flaw requirements for this particular structure are as follows: ^ A 3,200 square foot home (no exposures) 13 = 1, 066 gallon per minute required fire flow for 100% involvement ar, ^ 533 gallons per minute for 50% involvement or, ^ 266.5 gallons per minute far 25% involvement which can be met with the hydrant currently focated on site. ^ The current hydrant on site provides 500 gallons per minute, leaving an additional 566 gallons to be pravided for by a secondary source if the structure is 100% involved. 3. The Fire Department can meet the required fire flaw requirements in one of two ways ar a combination of both: ^ The #irst arriving S.E. Thurston engine would lay 1400' of 4" supply line from the secondary hydrant located Hwy 507 & 105t~' providing required ire flow or, ^ An engine 1 tender response (The same response we currently use for non hydrant areas) S.E. Thurston Fire Department can provide 4,797 gallons of water on the initial response, providing required fire flaw for 8.4 minutes. In this particular situation, the tender refill and turn around S. E. TH U RSTQN FIRE & EMS Rainier Ye1m Post Office Box 777 Yelm, Washington 98597 (360) 4882799/ Fax (360) 458-2766 time is approximately 6 minutes, allowing the tenders to deliver their water, refill, and return to the scene prior to the water supply being depleted, 4. This particular parcel captains no other exposures. S.E. Thurston Fire & EMS would expect no additional construction would take place until such time that the required fire flow is met. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. installation of a monitored alarm system. 2. No additional construction on this site or adjoining sites until such time adequate fire flow can be met. If the above recommendations are met, S.E. Thurston Fire & EMS, supports the decision to issue an occupancy certificate prior to the operation of a pump station for this development. Please do not hesitate to contact us at the above location, if there are additional questions.

It was built to current building codes, it replaces the two older homes that existed there for years, there is fire flow available now where there wasn't before. The next available fire hydrant that meets the minimum flow and pressure requirements' is only a few hundred feet way near the bottorn of tlae hill. You rnight also offer up to install an ez~ianced smoke and fire detention system above the normal detectors. This is only an interim situation. When I am able to get financing, the booster station will be installed and the pressure at the top of the hill will be erzlaanced. I will continue to seek alterxaatc financing options to get this issue resolved to the best of my ability. Hopefully your requests' to the city will have~tter results. FH1 LLC.... - ~~,'~;' /~~ f a.

This is approximately a three minute response. Given the close vicinity to the station and the recommendation for an early detection system, the potential for fire growth beyond 25% is highly unlikely. A 50% involvement or greater is incompatible with life. A fire with 50% or greater involvement would be mitigated in the same fashion as it would be today given the current fire flow ability on scene. 2. The fire flaw requirements for this particular structure are as follows: ^ A 3,200 square foot home (no exposures) 13 = 1, 066 gallon per minute required fire flow for 100% involvement ar, ^ 533 gallons per minute for 50% involvement or, ^ 266.5 gallons per minute far 25% involvement which can be met with the hydrant currently focated on site. ^ The current hydrant on site provides 500 gallons per minute, leaving an additional 566 gallons to be pravided for by a secondary source if the structure is 100% involved. 3. The Fire Department can meet the required fire flaw requirements in one of two ways ar a combination of both: ^ The #irst arriving S.E. Thurston engine would lay 1400' of 4" supply line from the secondary hydrant located Hwy 507 & 105t~' providing required ire flow or, ^ An engine 1 tender response (The same response we currently use for non hydrant areas) S.E. Thurston Fire Department can provide 4,797 gallons of water on the initial response, providing required fire flaw for 8.4 minutes. In this particular situation, the tender refill and turn around S. E. TH U RSTQN FIRE & EMS Rainier Ye1m Post Office Box 777 Yelm, Washington 98597 (360) 4882799/ Fax (360) 458-2766 time is approximately 6 minutes, allowing the tenders to deliver their water, refill, and return to the scene prior to the water supply being depleted, 4. This particular parcel captains no other exposures. S.E. Thurston Fire & EMS would expect no additional construction would take place until such time that the required fire flow is met. RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. installation of a monitored alarm system. 2. No additional construction on this site or adjoining sites until such time adequate fire flow can be met. If the above recommendations are met, S.E. Thurston Fire & EMS, supports the decision to issue an occupancy certificate prior to the operation of a pump station for this development.

You may not be aware that City staff spent considerable time and effort reviewing this matter last December when Steve Chamberlain asked the City to ignore the condition of final subdivision approval and issue a certificate of occupancy for the home in question. Now, as then, we can find no options other than installing the booster pump station as proposed and approved. While it unfortunate that Lt. Colonel and Mrs. Smith are caught in a difficult position, please keep in mind that the requirement for a booster pump has been a known condition since the first meeting on this project in 2005, and could have been addressed many times before now. The City did not create the circumstances which are making it difficult for the developer to meet his obligations, and has been flexible throughout this process to the point of now having no choice but to hold firm. In fact, at the initial pre-submission meeting in May of 2005, which you attended, the City's Development Review Engineer noted that "This project location is on top of a hill. 1 would highly recommend that you have your engineer look at the elevation of the location and how it is going to effect the hydrant operation. This location is 6 feet higher than the base of the Baker Hill Water Tower. " (360) 458-3835 (360) 458-3144 FAX www.ci.yelm.wa.us The subdivision application was subsequently submitted and the staff report to the Hearing Examiner in September of 2006 stated that: "The City of Yelm's current water system cannot provide the fire flow and water pressure that is required to serve this proposed subdivision due to the significant amount of topographic relief, and the project is approximately the same elevation as the City's water reservoirs. Service of the City water system will require the installation of a booster pump. Civil plans shall include an analysis of the water system and propose appropriate mitigation measures. " The Hearing Examiner, in his decision to approve the preliminary subdivision on September 27, 2006, found that: "The City of Yelm will provide both domestic water and fire flow subject to the applicant paying the connection fee. Furthermore, due to the height of the parcel, the applicant must install a booster pump to provide both fire flow and domestic water pressure." Based on this finding, the Examiner attached the following condition: "Civil engineering plans shall include an analysis of water system pressures and propose appropriate mitigation for probable low pressure flows at the project site, such as a booster pump. " The developer, however, requested during the civil plan review process that the water system be installed prior to designing a booster pump station in the hopes that pressures would meet fire flow without the booster pump. This approach was approved by the City on March 20, 2007, but with the following caution: "After the installation of the water system, the water system will need to be tested to verify if the system is going to meet the fire flow requirements and domestic pressure requirements. The testing perimeters, target flow and target pressures will be determined by the Public Works Department and only the Public Works Department. If the installation does not meet the testing requirements as set forth by the Public Works Department then the subdivision will not be approved and a final plat application will not be accepted by Community Development Department. " "This approval has been granted to allow the system to be installed and tested to verify exactly what additional improvements may be needed to serve this subdivision. The above approval does not guarantee that the existing system will be adequate to serve this application. " April 14, 2009 Page 2 of 3 At the request of the developer, who wanted to convert construction financing to long term financing, the City agreed to allow the subdivision to record with the following condition: "No building permit shall be issued within this subdivision until a booster pump is installed by the developer and approved by the City of Yelm which provides adequate fire flow per the International Fire Code and City of Yelm standards, provided that a building permit may be issued for a model home if a fire protection plan is approved by the City of Yelm Fire Marshal and SE Thurston Fire/EMS. " Rather than have a sales office in the model home, you chose to construct the model home as a residence, apparently in the hopes that the booster pump station would be installed and approved prior to occupancy. If you choose to pursue amending the final subdivision in order to remove the condition relating to the installation of the booster pump station, the fee is $750.00 and the request requires a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner, who would make a recommendation to City Council. The Community Development and Public Works Departments would oppose any such amendment. Please keep in mind that the subdivision also contained the condition that "no certificate of occupancy for any habitable structure shall be issued until a sewer roll seal is installed by the developer and approved by the City of Yelm" and that the City is still owed $25,015.43 for plan review fee's which will be required to be paid before the pre- construction meeting for either the booster pump station or the pressure sustaining valve (roll seal).

The City can not waive this standard without being in jeopardy of an enforcement action by the Department of Health. As indicated at the hearing, Department of Health regulations do allow the use of booster pumps for individual services may be used as an interim measure until system improvements are made to resolve pressure deficiencies. Individual booster pumps must be under the management and control of the purveyor, in this case the City of Yelm. Dan Lee, the developer's agent and contractor for the Smiths, indicated at the hearing that he had installed an individual booster pump inside the home. This pump was placed without a permit from the City of Yelm and does not meet the standards for an exception to pressure requirements noted above. In order for the individual booster pump to be allowed under Department of Health regulations, it would have to be located March 10, 2010 Page 1 of 3 on the public side of the water meter in the public right-of-way. If this option is pursued, the pump would have to be approved by the Department of Health, relocated to the public right-of-way in front of the meter, enclosed in a heated structure, and dedicated to the City. Individual booster pumps were explored as an option by the City in December of 2008 and were determined to be unfeasible for these reasons and for the fact that an individual booster pump does not help with fire flows. RESPONSE TO APPLICANT'S ENGINEERING REPORT RELATED TO FIRE FLOW. The static pressure in the hydrant in Palisades West subdivision is less than the required residual pressure during fire events. At 20 psi residual pressures, as required by fire codes, the hydrant provides just over half the required fire flow, which is 1,000 gpm for 60 minutes without sprinklers per Appendix A of the International Fire Code. The Yelm Development Guidelines at Section 6.030 require hydrants to provide fire flows per the IFC except that under no conditions shall a hydrant flow less than 750 gpm at 20 psi residential pressure. The hydrant in question flows 578 gpm at 20 psi. RESPONSE TO APPLICANT'S ENGINEERING REPORT RELATED TO SEWER SYSTEM PRESSURE SUSTAINING VALVE.
