RE Please send comment to meHi Tami,
This email is in regards to the lot subdivision with project name ‘The Hutch’, 118 lot Subdivision located at 9306 Mountain View Rd, Yelm, WA 98597, land use case # 20180280.
I would like it to be put in record that I am the property owner of 9225 Killion Rd SE, Yelm, WA 98597 and I have concerns with the development of this property that could affect my
use of my property as well as the value of my property now and in the future.
Pre-development: the plot of land proposed to you for development has been used to grow grass hay for at least the last 13 years that I know of. As a result this property is filled with
rodents of just about every kind from field mice to moles. I am concerned that once heavy equipment is brought in and earth is moved that these vermin will scatter to any neighboring
property, mine being one of them. This last summer I had a pocket gopher study done to my property in order to put in a family member unit. I was told by the State Wildlife Department
and the Thurston County Inspector which made multiple trips to inspect my property for pocket gophers, that they have documented Pocket Gophers 600 feet away to the south of my property.
This would put a Pocket Gopher population on the south end of the subject property. This greatly concerns me as the Land Developer would be driving heavy equipment and working out of
the south end of the property in order to develop the north end. This would again send these vermin migrating. So before anything is done to that property I would want a above ground
and below ground vermin barrier put in to stop any potential migration of any kind. From what I read a proper vermin barrier would be buried a minimum of 24 inches below the ground
and extend a minimum of 24 inches above the ground. The barrier itself should be durable enough to stop the smallest of rodents from either burrowing or running across the ground. Additionally,
it should cut back into the subject property to prevent rodents from going around it.
I would also be concerned on the time of day and days of the week I would have to put up with noisy and heavy equipment that could create stress on my family members, animals, and the
improvements on my property that could be damaged because of continuous vibration of the earth. I would probably be okay if the time of this construction was limited to 9 am to 5 pm
Monday through Friday and that the contractor put in writing that they would fix any and all improvements to my property that were displaced or damaged as a result of the use of heavy
equipment.
To this date, I do not have and have not been given a site plan to see just how the layout of this community would look. Can you please provide me with the proposed one so that I can
comment on any concerns that I may have around the layout of the community? For now, I would like to point out that 118 lots on less than 20 acres that would require basic infrastructure
i.e. roads would make for extremely small parcels and small homes. This brings upon several concerns that I would like addressed. The first one is what this would do to the value of
my property having small homes on small lots with low values could result in loss of value to mine and my neighbor’s property. As a real estate agent I have the ability to estimate
that loss to be as high as 15% of the value of my property. With a current market value of $345,000 that would put my losses at $51,750. In order for me not to suffer loss in value,
the lots would need to be a minimum of 5,000 sq ft with homes no smaller than 2,000 sq ft. I am also concerned with the size of the lots, 118 homes would be, that the setback from the
street would put the homes at or less than the minimum county setback of 5 feet from my property. I would prefer any home placed in that field to have a setback from my property line
of at least 15 feet. This may sound a little restrictive but I am betting that there could be as many as 20 homes placed along my property line. Each one of these homes occupied by
a family with pets would create quite a bit of noise and stress to my family and animals, not to mention the potential for those occupying to throw debris/trash into my yard creating
problems that I and my family will have to deal with. In addition to the 15 foot setback, the land developer needs to put a permanent barrier/fence between those lots/homes and my property.
Currently right now the only thing that separates our two properties is a double stranded barb wire fence. On my side, I have a in ground wire transmitter that restrains my animals
from leaving my yard. I have used this for the past 13 years and it has worked just fine. All these new homes would come with pets that could enter my yard and do damage or injury
to my property and my pets and possibly even my family. This is why I would request a permanent and durable barrier, not just the standard 6 foot wooden privacy fence stapled together
with a life span of about 3 years as we’ve seen from the construction across the street in the Cherry Meadows community. This barrier would also need to provide privacy as well.
As for the water issue, I am also concerned that even though this community is being fed by Yelm City Water, the water shed coming from this property and from rain that feeds the ground
water could adversely affect my well in numerous ways. First, like many, I am concerned that the city of Yelm continues to exceed their water rights and one day my well may dry up leaving
my property without a source of water. As a property owner in the unincorporated area of Thurston County, I do own the water rights to my property and will not stand for over use of
Yelm City Water Rights in order to approve more developments. Should this occur, me and my neighbors would be forced to seek relief through the courts. It also concerns me that again
with the water run off of this property going to the storm water system instead of draining through the ground to the water table, this can have an adverse effect on my well.
While I understand some of the infrastructure i.e. electric, water, sewer, storm water and telecommunication lines were stubbed out to this property at the time Killion Rd was improved
by the city of Yelm during the first phase of the bypass, I may have concerns depending on how that infrastructure would be ran throughout this community and request that information
so that I can express any concerns I may or may not have.
Traffic: 118 new homes will bring with it an increase in traffic on Killion Rd, which runs right in front of my property. This is a concern because the bypass which was supposed to relieve
traffic has not been finished and as a result would increase noise to my property. This additional traffic could have other unforeseen consequences that I would like looked at and addressed
prior to development of this property. I would like to see entrance and exits to this development on both sides of the development. One on Killion and one on Mountain View Rd as a minimum.
In closing I would like you and everyone involved to know it is not my intention to stop the development of this property. However, the above concerns need to be addressed before I can
give my blessings. In your letter, dated Oct 31st, it gives me 15 days to add comments and concerns and while I have expressed some of those, I have not been given full information
needed to fully consider the impact it could have on my property i.e. I have not received the proposed layout of subdivision with infrastructure and lots. Additionally, I have not been
given proper contact information to the land developer or the owner in order to express and possibly work out concerns with them. In the letter I received, while it named a contractor,
the address listed belongs to a car dealership and not a land developer. There are no phone numbers and you Tami are my only contact at the time of this email. If this is the information
that was given to you, I have to question why incorrect information would be put on a permit request. Please provide updated contact information when you get it. You may also share
my contact information below with the owner and contractor of this project. They are welcome to contact me anytime. I think that all will find I am easy to work with as long as we can
address my concerns.
Thank you and please reply so that I know you have received this email,
Neal
Your referral is the greatest compliment we can receive! It would be our honor to be a resource for you, your family, friends and coworkers.
