DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
CITY OF YELM
And
YELM MPC,LLC.
This Development Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered as of the 13th day of October 2026 (the
“Effective Date”), by and between Yelm MPC, LLC, a Washington limited liability company, and/or
assigns (“Developer") and the City of Yelm ("City"). Developer and the City are herein collectively
referred to as the “Parties."
RECITALS
A. Developer has a legal property interest in certain real property located within the City
of Yelm Urban Growth Area (“UGA”) consisting of approximately 640 acres, which
is fully described on Exhibit A attached to this Agreement and incorporated herein (the
“Property”).The City currently owns this property and, on November 13, 2025, entered
into a Purchase and Sale Agreement with Developer for the Property, based on
particular terms set forth therein (the “PSA”).
B. On November 25, 2008, the City issued a Final Environmental Impact Statement for
the proposed Thurston Highlands Master Planned Community(the“FEIS”).That
previous project proposal was based on a mixed-use development on a 1,240-acre site
in the southwest quadrant of the incorporated area of the City of Yelm. That proposed
Master Plan included the Property plus additional acreage located to the east. Under
any conceptual land use alternative, the development scenarios included several
thousand res idences to be provided in a mix of housing types and densities; commercial
development; passive and active open spaces, including protection of critical areas;
reservation of area for emergency services; accommodation of public services, such as
water supply, wastewater collection, stormwater management facilities; and the
extension of Tahoma Boulevard through larger area,connecting to SR 507. No master
plan was ever approved for this proposed community, although the City did complete
the SEPA review process and rezoned the area as Master Planned Community.
C. The Property, consisting of approximately 640 acres, is located entirely within the
larger area which formerly comprised the proposed Thurston Highlands Master
Planned Community. Developer proposes a master planned development of the
Property generally consistent with the Urban Village Alternative as described in the
2008 EIS, with area set aside for commercial and public park uses. The Parties
recognize that the Urban Village Alternative depicts only residential development, and
that Developer is separately required to construct commercial development as provided
in this Agreement. The City anticipates that development under this Agreeme nt will
confer a substantial benefit to future development of the adjacent property(ies) and
provide a significant public benefit primarily in the extension of Tahoma Boulevard.
1
Developer has separately applied for a Concept and Final Master Plan that proposes to
develop the Property in up to five phases, including a range of residential uses and
densities, specific acreage for future commercial and multifamily development,
stormwater facilities serving the public and private improvements, property dedications
for a public park, property dedication for emergency services, provision of arterial right
of way for a future Tahoma Boulevard roadway to serve the larger region, dedication
for water tower and related service, and dedicated critical areas and buffers
(collectively referred to herein as the “Project”). Developer has worked closely with
the City on utility and grading pla n specifications allowing for technical evaluation of
the viability of the proposed development.
D. Because of the size and scope of the Property and Project, Developer anticipates that
the Project will be built in Phases as identified by the PSA, with multiple Divisions in
each Phase. To maximize marketability, Developer and the City anticipate that each
Phase and potentially Divisions will involve more than one homebuilder at any given
time.
E. Considering the complexity and size of the Project, the city recognizes that additional
regulatory flexibility beyond that set forth in Title 18 YMC is critical to support
successful development. Regulations pertaining to the Project are adopted as part of the
Concept Master Plan.
F. Development Agreements are authorized by RCW 36.70B.170 to establish the
“development standards and other provisions that shall apply to and govern and vest
the development, use, and mitigation of the development of the real property for the
duration specified in the agreement.”
G. The City and Developer intend to create uniform processes and standards for
entitlement and development of the Property, including master planning and
subdivision. Developer recognizes that the City’s approval of the Concept Master Plan
results in an update to the City’s Official Zoning Map pursuant to YMC 18.15.040.
H. The Parties recognize that development of the Property depends on Developer securing
funding for the extension of the Tahoma Boulevard and other public improvements,
and the City’s public right of way and acquisition of the Tahoma Boulevard, costs of
which are expected to be paid through tax allocation revenue collected within a tax
increment area formed by the City under chapter 39.89 RCW. Because the funding and
acquisition plan is central to the Parties' decision to enter into this Agreement, the
Parties have addressed its role, and the consequences should it not be put in place, in
the operative provisions of this Agreement.
Pursuant to the provisions of RCW 36.70B.170, et seq., and in consideration of the mutual
promises, benefits and obligations set forth herein, the City and Developer hereby enter
into the following Development Agreement:

A. TERM AND GENERAL DEVELOPMENT PROVISIONS
1. Term. The terms of this Agreement shall commence upon the effective date of
t his Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect for the sooner of (i) a
period of ten (1 0) years from Master Plan approval, or(ii)issuance of the final
certificate of occupancy, unless amended by mutual agreement of the City and
Developer. The City and Developer intend for this Agreement to be in effect for a
term concurrent with the Master Plan and intend that any request for extension of
the Master Plan will be processed concurrently with an extension of this
Agreement, and that any expiration of the Master Plan shall cause this Agreement
to expire. The City and Developer agree that if the Master Plan is extended, the
term of this Agreement shall likewis e be extended for the term of the Master Plan.
Notwithstanding the initial ten (1 0) year term, if Developer completes Phase 1 and
Phase 2 within the initial term, the term of this Agreement shall be extended by an
additional five (5) years for each subsequent Phase (Phase 3, Phase 4, and Phase 5)
that thereafter reaches completion, with e ach such five (5) year extension applying
to and measured from the completion of the corresponding Phase. For purposes of
this Section, a Phase is “completed” when certificates of occupancy have been
issued for seventy-five percent (75%) of the dwelling un its within that Phase.
a. Termination due to Tahoma Boulevard Funding. The Parties recognize that
development of the Property depends on Developer securing funding for
the extension of the Tahoma Boulevard and other public improvements, the
public use of the Tahoma Boulevard, and the City’s acquisition of the
Tahoma Boulevard, costs of which are expected to be paid through tax
allocation revenue collected within a tax increment area formed by the City
under chapter 39.89 RCW. Because the funding for the Project and
formation of the increment area by the City pursuant to chapter 39.89 RCW
are key to this Agreement, this Agreement and the agreement between the
City and the Developer regarding such public use and acquisition (the
“Tahoma Boulevard Agreement” or “TBA”) shall lapse and be of no
further force or effect, automatically and without further action by either
Party, if the ordinance forming the tax increment area is not adopted and
effective within ninety (90) days after the Effective Date of this Agreement.
Upon such lapse, each Party shall bear its own costs and shall have no
further obligation to the other, except for those obligations that expressly
survive termination of this Agreement.
b. Option to Extend Initial Term. The City hereby grants to Developer the
option to extend the initial term of this Agreement for an additional five (5)
years (hereinafter “Extension Option”), provided that such extension is
necessary to accomplish closing obligations under the Purchase and Sale
Agreement and the Developer provides evidence of substantial progress
and commitment to construction of the Development Property. If
5
Developer seeks to exercise the Extension Option hereby granted, the
Developer shall notify the City of Yelm Planning and Building Manager,
in writing not less than 90 days prior to the termination date of this
Agreement, of Developer’s intent to exercise the Extension Option.
Developer shall provide evidence of substantial progress and commitment
to construction of the Development Property not later than 60 days prior to
the termination date of this Agreement.
2. Proposed Change to Zoning. Approval of a Concept Master Plan may result in a
zoning determination and change to the City’s Official Zoning Map. YMC
18.15.040.. As part of this Agreement, the City will process the Concept Master Plan
and associated zoning determinations in accordanc e with the YMC and applicable
law and will forward a recommendation in support of the same to the Hearing
Examiner and City Council. The Parties acknowledge that consideration and
approval of the Concept Master Plan and related zoning determinations consti tute
land use actions that cannot be predetermined by this Agreement pursuant to RCW
36.70B.170, that this Agreement creates no obligation on the Hearing Examiner or
City Council to approve the same, and that the City Council retains the full discretion
al lowed by law to approve, approve with modifications, or deny the same following
the public hearing process required by RCW 36.70B.200 and the YMC. Developer
acknowledges and accepts the risk that the Concept Master Plan and related zoning
determinations ma y not be approved as proposed or at all.
3. Vesting of Development Regulations. All Project Permit applications for the
Property for the duration of this Agreement shall vest to the approved Master Plan,
this Agreement, and Development Regulations, defined above and including those
set forth in Title 18 as modified in the Concept Master Plan and otherwise herein,
and other applicable laws in place on the Effective Date of this Agreement, except
as otherwise provided for in this Agreement and its Exhibits. The City shall not apply
to the Project any ordinance, resolution, rule, regulation, policy, standard or other
measure that may be in conflict with the vested-to Development Regulations or that
reduces the rights provided by this Agreement unless agreed to by Developer in
writing. Th e City and Developer agree that this vesting provision shall not apply to
purely procedural standards contained in the YMC, including, administrative final
plat procedures, approving authorities and hearing procedures.
In the event that this Agreement expires by its terms or by law prior to issuance of
any permits or approvals applied for based on an approved preliminary or final plat
for any Phase or Division and necessary to complete development under this
Agreement, t he City and Developer agree that vesting of these regulations will
apply to said applications, subject to the City’s determination as to whether
additional review under the State Environmental Policy Act, chapter 43.21C RCW,
is required. Further, the City and Developer agree that any preliminary plat which
has not yet been final platted upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, and
6
any Project Permits associated therewith but which have not yet been applied for,
shall remain subject to and benefit from the vesting provisions herein.
The City shall not apply subsequently adopted ordinances, regulations and design
standards to infrastructure development of the Property, either directly or indirectly
(i.e., by imposing requirements for such compliance pursuant to the State
Environmental Policy Act), provided that the City reserves authority to apply new
or different regulations as required by a serious threat to public health and safety,
as required by federal or state law, or to address materially changed infrastructure
or environmental conditions. The Parties shall meet not less than once every five
(5) years to review the vested Development Regulations and consider mutually
agreed updates.
The following amendments, additions, increases or other changes to the following
plans, laws, ordinances, regulations, fees and monetary charges, adopted by the
City following the effective date of this Agreement, are exempt from the vesting
provisions of this Agreement:
a) Any permit application, permit review and inspection fees applicable to

or other land use approval for any portion of the property not included in Exhibit
C and to the extent not waived by this Agreement or other action of the City
Council;
b) Water, sewer, stormwater and irrigation connection charges, general
facility and monthly service charges, (except for the System Development Charges
expressly set forth in Exhibit B, which are locked for the five (5) year period
provided in Section 4), as the City Council may from time to time adopt;
c) The Washington State Building Code, including without limitation the
International Building Code and such other International or other Uniform Codes
adopted by the Washington State Building Code Council and/or the City Council,
including electrical, buildi ng, plumbing, fire and other ancillary uniform or
international construction codes adopted pursuant to Ch. 19.27 or 19.27A RCW;
d) Any plans, policies, ordinances, regulations or development regulations
that the City must change by virtue of, or the City reasonably determines to be
necessary to change to comply with, the requirements of any federal or state law or
the directive of any state or federal agency or court, in order to avoid being in
violation of state or federal law, or to preserve the City’s eligibility to receive shared
revenues, grants or other funding, but only to the extent necessary to comply with
such state or federa l law; and,
e) Taxes of any nature of general applicability throughout the city.
7
Any waiver or revision of a vesting provision under this Agreement shall be
processed as a Major Amendment under Section 5 and shall be made only upon the
mutual written agreement of the City and Developer.
4.Impact Fees and System Development Charges.The Project shall vest to those
impact fees and system development charges in those fee categories and rate
schedules expressly set forth in Exhibit B. Only the impact fees, system
development charges, and other fees and charges expressly identified in Exhibit B
are locked as provided in this Section. All other fees and charges shall apply at the
rate and amount in effect at the time a complete permit application is submitted for
the applicable lot or building. Any listed indexed fee shall be adjusted solely by t he
Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), Seattle-Tacoma-
Bellevue, All Items, using July 2025 as the base index, and shall be calculated as
of the date a complete building permit application is submitted for the applicable
lot or building. The impact fees and system development charges set forth in Exhibit
B are locked at the rates and amounts set forth in Exhibit B for a period of five (5)
years commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement. Upon expiration of that
five (5) year period the lock shall end, and any fee or charge set forth in Exhibit B
for which a complete permit application has not been submitted and the applicable
fee paid before expiration shall thereafter be assessed at the rate and amount in
effect at the time a complete permit application is submitted, regardless of any
extension of the term.
5. Interpretation and Amendment of Agreement. The City and Developer recognize
this Agreement is of an extended duration and covers a significant area of land
within the city limits. As a result, the City and Developer recognize they cannot
forecast long term market conditions or other circumstances which may affect
development or uses of future Phases within the Master Plan. Therefore, the City
Administrator is hereby given w ide latitude in interpreting the terms of this
Agreement to prioritize development flexibility in the application of use charts and
bulk regulations, subject to the Minor and Major Amendment process set forth
below, under which Major Amendments require review and approval by the City
Council. Except for Major Amendments under subsection (a) below, an
Amendment to this Agreement’s s pecific terms and/or provisions set forth in the
Exhibits, condition of the Master Plan or the Master Plan map requested by
Developer shall be processed as a Minor Amendment, approved by the City
Administrator or designee without requirement of public hearing.
a. Major Amendments. An amendment shall only be deemed a Major Amendment
if it: (i) materially changes the Tahoma Boulevard alignment, cross-section, or
connection points; (ii) materially changes the location, size, or configuration of a
public park or other public dedication area; (iii) materially changes the approved
residential density, product mix, or commercial acreage of a Phase; (iv) materially
revises a Phase boundary; (v) reduces any required public dedication; (vi) waives
8
or modifies a vested engineering, stormwater, or utility standard in a manner of
more than minor significance; (vii) extends the term of this Agreement beyond the
extensions expressly provided in Section 1, it being understood that exercising an
extension right expressly granted in Section 1, including the automatic Phase-
completion extensions and the Extension Option, is not itself a Major Amendment;
(viii) materially diminishes a mitigation measure relied upon in project-level
environmental review; or (ix) waives or revises a vesting provision under Section
3, or the impact fee or system development charge vesting under Section 4. A Major
Amendment shall require review and approval by the City Council following public
notice.
b. Minor Amendments. All other amendments, including without limitation minor
revisions to internal road or alley alignment within an approved corridor, utility
layout adjustments within an approved corridor or easement, platting details, lot
line adjustments, and minor setback implementation consistent with vested
standards, use-category determinations for uses readily analogous to a listed use,
stormwater configuration changes that preserve approved treatment and detention
volumes, phasing or infrastructure timing changes that do not alter the items listed
as Major, and par k or open-space configuration within the agreed service area that
do not reduce designated open space beyond the tolerance set forth in Section 2 5,
and other comparable development details,shall be deemed Minor Amendments.
c. Any determination that an amendment is Major shall be supported by written
findings issued within fourteen (14) days of request. The final determination
regarding whether an Amendment to this Agreement is Minor or Major shall rest
with the City Administrator subject to appeal to the Hearing Examiner, following
the timelines set forth in Section 6, below.
6. Interpretations of Terms and Modifications of Development Standards. Any
interpretation or modification of a term of this Agreement, condition of the Master
Plan or Development Regulation, or dispute regarding the foregoing, shall be
resolved first by Developer submitting a written request to the City Administrator
or designee, requesting interpretation or modification. The City Administrator or
designe e shall decide whether it agrees with the request in writing within fourteen
(14) days of receiving the request. Any denial or conditional approval shall include
specific written findings, identify the particular Agreement provision or vested
standard relied upon,and describe the basis for the decision with reasonable
specificity. If the City Administrator or designee fails to issue a written decision
within such period, the Parties may agree in writing to an extension; absent
agreement, the request shall be deemed denied and Developer may a ppeal that
constructive denial to the Hearing Examiner as provided below. In no event shall a
request be deemed approved solely by reason of the City’s failure to act within a
specified time. The written decision may be appealed by the Developer to the
Hearing Examiner within ten (10) days of the written decision and within fourteen
(14) days the City shall request that the Hearing Examiner conduct a hearing at its
9
earliest opportunity. Any subsequent appeals of the written decision shall be
brought exclusively by Land Use Petition, pursuant to Chapter 36.70C RCW. The
dispute resolution terms set forth in Section 5 8 shall not pertain to this Section.
B. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
7.Property Development. Developer agrees to construct the Property generally
consistent with the PSA, the proposed development of the Property shown on the
Urban Village Alternative Conceptual Land Use Plan, Figure 1.3-6 of the FEIS,
and Concept Master Plan. The City and Developer recognize that modifications to
those Plans may be necessary as the Project proceeds; any such modification shall
be made only through the amendment process set forth in Section 5 of this
Agreement and shall not relieve Developer of its obligations under this Agreement.
Environmental review of any such modifications is addressed separately, herein.
Modifications shall be processed in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement.
Detailed plans for development of the Property shall be approved through Project
Permits and approval processes set forth herein. Road widths, onsite and offsite
easement and right-of-way dedications, public open spaces, and street and utility
improvements shall be governed by the Master Plan for any future site plan
entitlement application and reviewed under the Development Regulations as vested
to under Section 3, above. However, depictions of building footprints, shapes,
square footage, and number of sto ries in the Master Plan are illustrative only and
shall not bind future Project permit applications.
8. Zoning. The Property is currently zoned Master Planned Community (MPC) and
does not require a rezone to process and approve subdivision under Chapter 58.17
RCW.
9. Permitted Uses. All uses set forth in Title 18, Division 5, YM C (Zoning), as
modified in the Master Plan and in all Exhibits, shall be those allowed. In the event
a use is not specifically listed within the zoning code, it shall be allowed if readily
analogous to a listed use. If not, Developer shall be entitled to the requested use
based on an Administrative Zoning Int erpretation approved by the Public Services
Director upon reasonable justification. In the event of disagreement, the
Determination process set forth in Section 6 shall be used.
C. PHASING OF DEVELOPMENT.
10. The PSA provides that the Master Plan shall include up to five Phases for purposes
of subdivision and closings, each Phase not being larger than one-hundred sixty
(160) acres in size unless otherwise approved by the City. Each Phase may be
divided into mul tiple divisions which will be established upon entitlement for each
Phase. Each phase is anticipated to yield the following approximate number of
residential units with the specific unit types and zoning considerations to be provided
10
with the Master Plan. Developer may construct Tahoma Boulevard through the
Phase 1 site as part of Phase 1. Upon issuance of the five hundred and ninety-ninth
(599 th) residential occupancy permit, Developer shall commence construct ion of the
remaining segment of Tahoma Boulevard(meaning all portions of Tahoma
Boulevard not previously constructed) and shall complete th e remaining segment
prior to issuance of the eight-hundredth (800 th) residential occupancy permit in
accordance with a construction schedule approved by the City, with progress reports
to the City. The City shall use diligent efforts to acquire any necessary right of way
for Tahoma Boulevard, including condemnation if authorized by the City Council.
Developer and City shall expeditiously coordinate, apply for and diligently pursue
all permits required for Tahoma Boulevard, including from the Washington State
Department of Transportation, in time to meet th e requirement s of this Section.
Nothing in this Agreement prevents Developer from constructing all of Tahoma
Boulevard as part of Phase 1. T he following table reflects the referenced
construction.

11. The Master Plan identifies, at a minimum, the general location of development areas,
Arterial and Collector public roads, approximate public park dedication area,
sensitive areas and associated buffers, and City of Centralia utility easement. The
Master Plan includes conceptual utility and grading plans for future reference as
12
specific entitlement applications proceed. The Master Plan demonstrates that the site
is being developed in an integrated and cohesive manner based on a complete site
delineation of sensitive areas. The Master Plan also shows the Tahoma Boulevard
alignment in its currently planned route offsite from the Property and as
preliminarily designed through the Property.
12. Public Dedication Areas. The City has reviewed the utility and service needs
for the Master Plan and confirms adequate capacity with the proposed water tower,
pond, and well for the anticipated water, sewer, and stormwater demands. The City
has not yet made a determination regarding capacity requirements for emergency
service demands, and that determination is reserved to the City and may be made
following execution of this Agreement. To support these utilities and services,
Developer agrees to dedicate or otherwise set aside from development the following:
approximately two acre s for an emergency services area (Phase 1), approximately
two acres for water tower and treatment area (Phase 2), approximately ten
acres for public park (Phase 2) and areas as needed for Tahoma Boulevard and its
associated improvements (all Phases) (referred to in this Section as the “Public
Dedication Area(s)”). The locations for the Public Dedication Areas as shown on the
Master Plan may be moved only upon written agreement of the City and Developer,
which shall not require further Council approval and shall not be unr easonably
withheld. Considering that the City currently owns the underlying property and
Developer is agreeing to commit certain areas for future public use, the Parties wish
to coordinate on the process for preserving those areas.
a. The Parties agree that Developer will dedicate the land identified on the
Concept Master Plan for each of these Public Dedication Areas as part of
final platting for each Phase, and Division within each Phase if applicable,
assuming final platting is approved after Closing of the given Phase. In the
event Developer has not Closed on the Phase at the time of final plat for
any Phase in which the Public Dedication Area(s) are not otherwise placed
in a separate tract by lot segregation, the final plat shall set forth said public
dedication area(s) as separate lots or tracts and the City shall retain
ownership to public dedication area(s) upon Closing of the Phase under the
PSA.
b. For purposes of the emergency services area, Developer shall ensure that
area is dedicated and available to emergency services upon construction
and dedication of Tahoma Boulevard to the west terminus of Phase 1.
c.With respect to the 10-acre public park area proposed within Phase 2, the
City and Developer agree that a large lot segregation will create a separate
tract over which the City will retain ownership based on agreed property
boundaries for said tract in approximately that location shown on the
Master Plan. However, Developer may adjust the boundaries and location
of such public park area during platting of Phase 2, provided that the full
13
ten (10) acres of public park area shall be preserved, in order to reasonably
accommodate other development needs, including but not limited roadway
alignment, location of residential lots, and location of commercial space
anticipated as part of Phase 3.
13. Developer will acquire ownership to the property subject to the easement benefiting
the City of Centralia, Recording Number 221154, as part of Closing on each Phase.
The City will assist in coordination with the City of Centralia for the proposed road
right of way crossings and trail corridor prior to Closing of any Phase.
14. Each Phase shall have all infrastructure and other mitigation associated with said
Phase constructed or otherwise in place at the time of the first certificate of
occupancy unless otherwise agreed to by the City and Developer as part of each
Project Permit process. However, certificate of occupancy within a Phase shall not
be withheld so long as the public improvements, utilities, stormwater facilities,
mitigation measures, and other infrastructure required to serve the applicable final
plat, lot, or building permit have been installed, bonded, temporarily approved, or
otherwise secured in the manner permitted by vested City standards and the
applicable implementing approval. Infrastructure intended solely to serve later
divisions, later phases, or future off-site system expansion shall not be required as a
condition to issuance of an earlier certificate of occupancy unle ss expressly
identified in this Agreement or the applicable implementing approval. Phased
infrastructure shall be designed and constructed to meet City engineering standards,
as vested herein, for dead end streets and utilities. Bonding for infrastructure shall
be allowed to facilitate final platting. Phases may ultimately be built sequentially or
simultaneously. Accordingly, infrastructure a nd timing of development different
from the Concept Master Plan may be proposed by Developer and processed as a
Minor Amendment under Section 5 of this Agreement, based on the needs and
timing of specific Implementing Projects and technological advancement s.
15. To effectuate phased development and ph ased infrastructure, including
establishment and construction of Tahoma Boulevard, the City understands and
agrees that Developer may require the ability to construct infrastructure or conduct
grading activities, including earthwork, mining and stockpiling, within areas still
owned by the City and outside of any actively developed Phase. The City shall grant
Developer the temporary construction access, license rights, and easement rights
reasonably necessary to perform grading, utility, drainage, roadway, and related
work on City-owned portions of the Property and on City-owned lands needed to
implement approved Project infrastructure. The City shall issue the applicable form
of permissio n within fifteen (15) days a fter receipt of a written request identifying
the work area and proposed activity, provided such work is consistent with an
approved permit, civil plan, or other implementing approval. Such rights shall be
granted at no cost other than mutually agreed thir d-party recording or survey
expenses.
14
16. The parties acknowledge that the Master Plan and Phasing sizes and locations are
preliminary and may be changed from time to time based on infrastructure
availability, market conditions, sensitive areas, and other factors, many of which are
beyond the cont rol of the City and Developer. Any such change to Master Plan or
Phasing sizes or locations shall be processed under the Minor or Major Amendment
procedures of Section 5, according to its classification. Developer shall be entitled
to revise the Master Pla n and Phasing from time to time with City approval, subject
to the review processes established by City code, including any applicable Hearing
Examiner and City Council review, so long as the master plan and phasing plan
provide for the development of park s, recreational improvements, the quantity and
type of housing units, and commercial areas as set forth in this Agreement.
Developer shall have the right to make Minor Modifications to the Concept Master
Plan so long as those modifications do not conflict with any conditions of approval
recommended by the Hearing Examiner a nd adopted by the City Council. Any such
Minor Modifications shall be administratively approved by the City, subject to
reasonable conditions that are capable of being accomplished, pursuant to Section 5.
1 7. Commercial. Developer shall construct not less than one hundred fifty thousand
(150,000) gross square feet of commercial, including mixed use, development
within the commercial or mixed-use areas designated on the Master Plan. Mixed
use development shall count toward the required one hundred fifty thousand
(150,000) gross square feet only if not less than twenty percent (20%) of the gross
square footage of the mixed-use project consists of non-residential space, excluding
parking and areas primarily serving residential units. Not less than forty percent
(40%) of such commercial development shall be constructed by the completion of
Phase 2, and the remainder shall be constructed by the completion of Phase 3.
Provided, however, that if Developer has not been able, despite commercially
reasonable efforts, to construct the remaining 60 percent (60%) of the required
commercial development by the completion of Phase 3, Developer may satisfy the
requirement by completing pad ready building sites (including providing that
complete infrastructure and utilities are provided to the site in support of
development-ready vertical development) for the required commercial and/or
mixed use development. For purposes of this Agreement, a Phase shall be deemed
complete when certificates of occupancy have been issued for seventy-five percent
(75%) of the dwelling units within that Phase.
1 8. Affordable Housing. Developer shall construct or coordinate for construction by an
affordable-housing builder for each Phase a minimum of five percent (5%) of the
units in that Phase as affordable units, with a minimum of thirty (30) affordable
units per Phase, affordable to households earning between fifty percent (50%) and
eighty percent (80%) of the area media n income (AMI) for Thurston County.
Developer may defer construction of a Phase’s affordable units only upon a written
demonstration to the City that, despite commercially reasonable efforts,
construction financing for the affordable units is not available on commercially
15
reasonable terms. Any deferral requires the written concurrence of the City
Administrator, shall not exceed twenty-four (24) months, and shall not reduce the
number of affordable units required. If deferred units are not under construction by
the end of th e deferral period,t he City may, in its sole discretion, accept conveyance
of land from the Developer in exchange, in whole or in part, for the Developer’s
obligation to construct affordable housing units. These affordable units shall not
count towards the residential and multifamily units otherwise approved with this
Development Agreement. Developer shall make this conveyance by completion of
Phase 4 subject to the following provisions:
a. Acreage shall be useable for housing construction (i.e. not steep slopes,
wetlands, buffers etc.) and the City shall approve feasibility of the location
for constructing the required minimum number of units. The acreage may
be located in either the residential or commercial portions of the Project.
b.Developer shall be responsible for construction of access, water and sewer,
consistent with vested Development Standards, up to the parcel
boundary(ies) and for all necessary permits and fees associated with the
affordable housing units. The City shall waive utility connection charges
and City controlled impact fees for affordable housing units at or below
seventy percent (70%) of AMI and shall reduce by fifty percent (50%)
those charges and fees for affordable housing units above seventy percent
(70%) and up to eighty percent (80%) of AMI.
c. If the property is conveyed to the City, the City will issue an RFQ/RFP for
potential owner/developers of the affordable housing. Developer, at its
option, can participate in the selection process.
19. Impacts to Public Schools. Developer recognizes the Project will have impacts on
either Rainier or Yelm School Districts as the development occurs. Developer shall
enter into a mitigation agreement with the applicable School District as part of each
Project Phase. Further, pursuan t to the FEIS, it is recognized there may be shortfalls
between revenues generated by the development and the requirement for public
services in the early phases of the project. Provision of services during this period
of time may warrant interim provisions and/or operations funding by the D eveloper
at higher levels than those assumed in the fiscal analysis. The Developer will reach
a “shortfall agreement”, if necessary for public school facilities, to be executed
between the Developer and the applicable school district prior to approval of the
Phase 1 preliminary plat.
16
D. STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT(SEPA)
20. Prior SEPA Review. As part of the City’s previous zoning of the Property to MPC,
the City completed a Final Environmental Impact Statement, issued November 25,
2008 (the “FEIS”). That FEIS included comprehensive review of the following
environmental categories:
Aesthetics
Air Quality
Fiscal Analysis
Fish, Wildlife and Habitats
Geology and Soils
Grading, Drainage and Utilities
Infiltration Effects Assessment
Light and Glare
Parks and Recreation
Surface Water Technical Report
Transportation Impact Analysis
Wetlands
No appeal from that environmental review occurred.
21. SEPA Review – Future Phases of Development.At the time of submission of
permit applications for future phases of development of the Property, Developer
shall submit an environmental checklist and any supporting documentation
regarding potential impacts of that phase of the development, except to the extent
such impacts have been previously subjected to environmental review and
mitigation as set forth in this Agreement and the FEIS.
E. PERMIT PROCESSING PROVISIONS
22. Platting of Divisions. Upon approval of the conceptual Master Plan, the City agrees
to process preliminary plat applications for Phases or divisions of Phases in an
expedited manner pursuant to the process set forth herein.
23. Binding Site Plan Process. The City has adopted a binding site plan process under
YMC 18.14.070 for commercial and industrial pads. Said binding site plan process
may be used for residential, commercial or mixed-use development within the
Project. The City agrees to process applications in an expedited manner within the
timeframes established under Chapter 18.10 YMC.
24. Platting Process for Phases Containing Divisions.
a. Preliminary Platting of Divisions. The City agrees to process applications
in an expedited manner within the timeframes established under Chapter
17
18.10 YMC. Where any Phase is proposed for preliminary platting by
division, Developer may either submit (i) separate applications for each
division within a Phase, (ii)a single preliminary plat application containing
multiple divisions or (iii) a combination of the foregoing options. For an
application falling under either (ii) or (iii), above, the preliminary plat
approval shall include conditions allowing final plats for each division to
be separately reco rded, subject to any necessary implementing conditions.
b. Final Platting of Divisions. In such event, the first final plat for the first
division shall be recorded within five years of the date of preliminary plat
approval for the Phase. Each final plat for each subsequent division shall
be recorded within two years of the date of the prio r final plat division.
Developer may apply for sequential one-year extensions of the final plat
schedule within thirty (30) days of the deadline to submit the particular
division’s final plat application. The Public Services Director shall grant
such extension for good cause, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
A maximum of 5 extensions may be allowed for each division final plat.
25. Engineering Review; Concurrent Review Allowed; Preliminary Plat Modifications.
The City agrees that Developer may submit engineering plans for review
concurrently with preliminary plat application review for each Phase or division
after the City’s first round of preliminary plat application review comments.
Engineering plan approva l will not be issued before approval of the preliminary plat
but may be issued concurrently therewith. In the event lots approved by preliminary
plat are not desired for final platting and public facilities or services necessary to
serve the plat are subst antively unaffected, the Developer shall be allowed to adjust
individual lot boundaries or reserve said lots within the preliminary plat as future
development or other use tracts during the engineering process and without
requirement for minor modification to the plat. After preliminary plat approval,
minor revisions may be made without triggering Section 5,limited to the lesser of:
(i) a ten (10) percent increase in the number of lots or units; (ii) a change in access
points so long as offsite trip distribution is not materially altered; (iii) a change in
the aggregate area of designated open space that does not decrease the amount of
designated open space by more than five (5) percent, and does not cause Project-
wide designated open space to fall below the twenty percent (20%) minimum; (iv)
any other change which does not substantially alter the character of the approved
preliminary plat. Any reduction of designated open space b eyond the tolerance set
forth in clause (iii) shall be processed as a Major Amendment.
26. Administrative Approvals of Final Plats. While nothing herein shall bind the City to
future legislation,to facilitate the development of the site, the City expresses its
current intent to adopt an administrative final plat approval process prior to the first
final plat within Phase 1 of the Master Plan. In the event of such future legislation,
the City agrees that administrative final plat processes will be applied to final
18
platting of each Phase and Division.
27. Final Plat Timelines for Phases and Divisions. Each final plat application shall
include a draft set of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for a homeowners’
association to provide controls pursuant to Washington State laws, as may be
amended from time to time. Upon application for a final plat, th e City agrees to
process and schedule said final plat application on the next available City Council
consent agenda within thirty (30) days (consistent with YMC 18.10.090) of complete
application submittal. In the event the City adopts an administrative approval for
final plats, the City agrees to issue a decision on any final plat application within
thirty (30) days (consistent with YMC 18.10.090) of complete application. In the
event the City finds the final plat application is incomplete or inconsistent with any
condition of preliminary plat approval, or otherwise results in a threat to public
health, safety or welfare under RCW 58.17.170 the City shall provide Developer
with a reasonable opportunity to revise the final plat application or otherwise cure
the potential threat prior to denial.
F. TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS AND ROADWAY STANDARDS
28. Tahoma Boulevard Alignment. The City has planned for the extension of Tahoma
Boulevard between State Route 510 and State Route 507 to address existing an d
future, regional transportation circulation for several years prior to this Agreement.
Pursuant to terms of the PSA, Developer and the City have agreed to the acquisition
and construction of Tahoma Boulevard to extend it from its current terminus through
private property to complete its connection to State Route 507. Developer and the
City have agreed upon a general route to complete this extension. Based on that
agreement, Developer has developed preliminary engineering plans for a
prospective alignment through Phase 5 on which the Concept Master Plan Map
relies. Pursuant to the terms of the PSA, the City and Developer are pursuing further
design work and establishment of necessary and reasonable public right of way. The
Parties recognize that development of the Property depends on Developer securing
funding for the construction of the Tahoma Boulevard and other public
improvements, the public use of the Tahoma Boulevard, and the City’s long-term
use and acquisition of the Tahoma Boulevard pursuant to the Tahoma Boulevard
Agreement. Costs of such use and acquisition are expected to be paid through tax
allocation revenue collected within a tax increment area formed by the City under
chapter 39.89 RCW. Funding, public use, and transfer of the Tahoma Boulevard
extension and other eligible public improvements shall be governed by the Tahoma
Boulevard Agreement between the City and Developer. The Tahoma Boulevard
Agreement establishes the intent of the City to form the tax increment area pursuant
to chapter 39.89 RCW, to use tax allocation revenue collected within such tax
increment area to acquire the expanded Tahoma Boulevard and related public
improvements, and the public works procurement, prevailing wage, bond, and
retainage requirements applicable to the Tahoma Boulevard expansion and any other
19
public improvement s.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the Tahoma Boulevard
Agreement or any other related document, the parties acknowledge that financing
obtained by Developer for construction of the Tahoma Boulevard and other public
improvements shall solely be an obligation of the Developer and shall not be
guarantee d by or otherwise an obligation of the City. The parties acknowledge that
the City intends to use tax allocation revenue to acquire the Tahoma Boulevard and
other public improvements if and to the extent such tax allocation revenue is
available for such purpose. The City’s obligation shall not be a debt, shall bear no
interest, does not represent a repayment obligation, and will not be evidenced by a
promissory note, bond or other evidence of indebtedness issued by the City, and no
pledge of City funds, its full faith and credit or its non-voted taxing or debt authority
shall be pledged.
29. Traffic Impact Analysis for Master Plan and Entitlements for Project Phases.
Developer has submitted a traffic analysis memorandum to support the Concept
Master Plan which does not identify any new or increased significant adverse
environmental impact likely to result from development consistent with the Concept
Master Plan. The City has not reviewed or confirmed that conclusion. The City’s
determination under this Section is reserved and may be made following execution
of this Agreement, and nothing in this Section constitutes City concurrence with the
traffic analysis memorandum.
Traffic Impact Analysis for Phases 1 t hrough 5, are addressed below.
30. Tahoma Boulevard Temporary Terminus.
a. The roadway cross-section for Tahoma Boulevard as currently constructed
as part of the Tahoma Terra development has sufficient capacity to
accommodate traffic from Phases 1 and 2 of the Project. The boulevard
design with a separated landscape median results in a greater factor of safety
for purposes of emergency se rvices by providing two routes of travel.
b. Developer has conducted a traffic analysis report related to anticipated traffic
impacts resulting from up to 1,320 residential units anticipated for Phases 1
and 2 of the Project. Given the staged construction of Tahoma Boulevard for
each Phase, the City has considered the potential impacts of issuing
certificates of occupancy based on a separated boulevard design and agrees
it is reasonable to issue the foregoing number of certificates of occupancy
for Phases 1 and 2, subject to the construction and completion requirements
for Tahoma Boulevard in Section 10 above
20
c. In addition to the extension and completion of Tahoma Boulevard required
by Section 10, Developer may construct secondary access to serve future
Phases of the Project as approved by the City, which may also take into
account temporary access for fire and life safety purposes.
31. Traffic Impact Analysis for Phases 1 and 2. The Developer has submitted traffic
impact analyses for Phases 1 and 2 and the City’s review of those analyses has not
been completed. The Parties acknowledge that the City’s confirmation and related
decisions under this Section are reserved to the City and may follow the execution
of the Agreement.
32. Traffic Impact Analysis for Phases 3-5.
a. For Phases 3 through 5, D eveloper shall submit a traffic impact analysis
as part of the entitlement application for each Phase, based on the scoping
parameters set forth in this Section. The traffic analysis for each future
phase shall be established through a traffic scoping process with the City to
address the following study intersections:
i. Burnett Rd / Yelm Ave (SR 510)
ii. 93 rd Ave/Yelm Ave (SR 510)
iii. Mountain View Road / Yelm Ave (SR 510)
iv. Killion Rd / Yelm Ave (SR 510)
v. Cullens Rd / Yelm Ave (SR 510)
vi. Longmire St / Yelm Ave (SR 510)
vii. Edwards St SW / Yelm Ave (SR 510)
viii. First St S (SR 507) / Yelm Ave (SR 510)
ix. First St S (SR 507) / Mosman Ave SE
x. SR 507 / Mill Road
xi. Tornado Alley / Tahoma Blvd
a. The City and Developer will agree upon adjustments to the traffic
forecasts at study intersections related to timing and completion of the
North Yelm Loop.
b. A future horizon year consistent with the anticipated buildout of each
Phase shall be established in traffic scoping with the City.
c. An assumption regarding a growth rate for background traffic shall be
mutually agreed upon by Developer and the City through traffic
scoping.
d. Following submission of each traffic impact analysis, the City shall
have the TIA report peer reviewed by the City’s traffic consultant. Any
discrepancies between the traffic impact analysis and the peer review
21
shall be resolved by mutual agreement of the City and Developer in a
final traffic report. The final report shall serve as the basis for all SEPA
review of traffic impacts of development of the Phase on offsite
intersections and for mitigation of such impa cts.
33. Impact Mitigation for Intersections.
a.Developer proposes that, f or Phases 1 and 2, payment of the transportation
impact fees identified in Exhibit B and completion of the signal timing or
striping modifications identified through the City’s review of the traffic
impact analyses for Phases 1 and 2 constitute Developer's sole off-site
transportation mitigation obligation. The City has not confirmed this
proposal; confirmation, modification, or rejection is reserved to the City
upon completion of its review of the traffic impact analyses for Phases 1
and 2, which the Parties acknowledge may occur following execution of
this Agreement.
b. For Phases 3 through 5, any off-site transportation mitigation not already
funded through adopted impact fees shall be limited to Developer's
proportionate-share impact, calculated by the mutually approved final
traffic impact analysis for the applicable P hase using the trip generation,
trip distribution/assignment, background growth, and horizon-year
assumptions established during written traffic scoping.
c. Under no circumstance shall Developer be required to fund correction of
existing deficiencies or future system improvements beyond its
proportionate share.
d. Any required Developer-funded off-site improvement shall be subject to a
dollar cap equal to Developer's proportionate share as shown in the final
approved traffic analysis, and all eligible design, right-of-way, permitting,
and construction costs shall be credited automatically against transportation
impact fees otherwise due for the Project, with any excess credited or
waived against other fees otherwise due for the Project or carried forward
as a transferable pr oject credit.
e.For those intersections identified in a TIA which are projected to fall below
the LOS established by the Comprehensive Plan without impacts from a
Developer Project Phase, and which require improvements not listed in the
Yelm CIP (and therefore not include d in the transportation impact fees),
the City and Developer shall agree upon a proportionate share contribution
that would reasonably provide financial mitigation for the Project Phase
impacts without delay to the Project Phase or otherwise imposing a
22
requirement that Developer fully resolve the LOS failure.
f. For those intersections identified in a TIA which are projected to fall below
the LOS established by the Comprehensive Plan as the result of the given
Phase, and which require improvements not listed in the Yelm CIP (and
therefore not included in the transportation impact fees), the following shall
apply:
i. The City shall determine whether the improvement needed to
meet City-adopted LOS is a system-improvement necessary to
accommodate regional future traffic growth, or a direct and
proportionate impact of the given Phase.
ii. The City shall determine whether to add the improvement
required to bring the intersection or roadway into compliance
with City LOS standards to the City’s transportation plan and
transportation impact fee funded list or require Developer to
construct the improvements.
iii. If the City determines that Developer must construct the
improvement, Developer shall receive full credit against
transportation impact fees from the City. In the event the
Developer constructs any improvement pursuant to this
Agreement, the City agrees Developer shall be entitled to a
latecomer agreement as provided for under Washington State
laws. Eligible costs for credit against transportation impac t fees,
reimbursement and latecomer agreement include design,
engineering, permitting, and construction costs, the costs of
right-of-way acquisition and the value of property dedication
required for construction of the improvements, and any actual
management and contingency costs. Developer shall maintain
accurate records of all costs and payments eligible for such
credit and shall segregate costs associated with offsite
improvements and costs associated with the three-quarter (¾)
street frontage improvements abutting the Developer Property.
Such records shall be provided to the City in support of an
application by Developer for such transportation impact fee
credits. Credits may be applied against transportation impact
fees for all phases of the Developer development, but in no event
shall the total impact fee credits for transportation improvements
awarded pursuant to this Agreement exceed the total amount of
standard and supplemental transportation impact fees owing by
Developer for its development.
iv. If the City determines that the right of way required to construct
23
the improvement is not available, Developer shall be given the
option of paying a fee in lieu of construction in the amount of
Developer’s share of the cost of the improvement or reducing
the amount of any pending credit against transportation impact
fees in the amount of Developer’s share of the cost of the
improvement.
G. SENSITIVE AREAS
34. Sensitive Areas Study and Native Growth Protection Area. Developer has submitted
a sensitive areas study in support of the Concept Master Plan. Therein, the biologist
has completed a delineation of all wetlands located on site and concluded there are
no streams on site. The report further establishes buffers f or each onsite wetland.
This study is considered the final report for purposes of the Master Plan, this
Agreement and Phase 1 of the Project. The final report shall further serve as the basis
for review of sensitive area impacts of development of the Prope rty through all
remaining Phases. Based on the Master Plan wetland delineation, Developer shall
develop a native grown protection area map which shall be reviewed and approved
by the City, recorded against the Property and bind all development to the recor ded
critical areas and their buffers for purposes of future entitlement for all Phases so
long as developed consistent with the terms of this Agreement. To the extent
Developer proposes any wetland or wetland buffer modifications, alterations or fill,
the City reserves the authority to require further critical areas evaluation to comply
with chapter 18.21, YMC, as vested to herein.
35. Sensitive Area Alterations and Mitigations. Developer shall have the option to
propose sensitive alterations, buffer reductions, buffer averaging and to use other
mitigation techniques in accordance with the provisions of Chapter 18.21 YMC.
H. STORMWATER; SEWER; DOMESTIC WATER.
36. Stormwater System Design. The City and Developer agree upon the following
adjustments to the City of Yelm Engineering Specifications and Standard Details
(ESSD):
a. No retention/detention facility shall be located within an area that is used to
satisfy an open space requirement unless it is approved during Site Plan
Review. ESSD 3.00.020 Part A. In the event trails or other active recreation
is planned on or around retention/detention facilities, Developer shall
receive a credit toward open space requirements for any such amenities and
such use shall be counted toward the twenty percent (20%) open space
estimation.
24
b.The maximum depth of an infiltration facility (including but not limited to
bioretention, infiltration pond, vaults) shall be seven feet from the bottom
of the facility to the top of the facility or side slope. This depth will account
for six feet of pondi ng depth and one foot of freeboard. Reference: 2024
Department of Ecology Manual, BMP 17.10. Infiltration facilities shall be
designed with a minimum 3:1 side slopes, and if over four-point-five (4.5)
of ponding depth, a three-foot wide bench shall be prov ided halfway down
the slope or a fence shall be installed around the entirety of the facility.
c. The stormwater from individual lots (roof and footing drains) may be
collected and conveyed with six-inch pipes and cleanouts and connect
directly to catch basins within the Right-Of-Way. Up to six individual lots
may share one six-inch pipe connection to a single catch basin in the Right-
Of-Way.
d.On-lot infiltration is anticipated for portions of the Project depending on site
conditions. The design and location of the infiltration systems, including
setbacks, will be determined by a licensed geotechnical engineer and will be
specific to the site and lot conditions in each case. This will allow the
Developer to minimize the size and impact of the trenches while still
delivering a system that is appropriately designed for the application based
on lot size, lot grade, soil type, and like considerations.
e.The City will consider measures to address flow control needs of the Project
and hydrology based on site conditions, wetland ratings and available
stormwater management practices, such as dispersion devices based upon
review of Developer’s civil engineer a nd biologist.
f.All stormwater facilities (infiltration, detention and retention facilities)
located on public property shall be owned and maintained by the City of
Yelm. Private facilities on private lots, if used, will be owned and maintained
by the homeowner. EDDS, Sec tion 3.00.100.
g.Stormwater facilities shall be designed to accommodate the lot coverage
assumptions. Impervious surface on private lots that exceeds the lot coverage
assumptions may be managed by private facilities on the lot they serve.
h.Stormwater facilities may be designed and constructed to serve multiple
phases of the Project. Facilities constructed as part of an earlier phase may
be expanded, modified, or supplemented to accommodate runoff from
subsequent phases.
i. Stormwater facilities approved and constructed under prior phase approvals
shall be deemed compliant with the stormwater regulations in effect at the
time of their approval and shall not be required to be retroactively modified
to meet subsequently adopted stormwater regulations, provided that the
originally approved treatment and detention volumes for such prior phases
25
are preserved.
j. In the event a stormwater facility is expanded or modified to serve additional
phases, only the incremental improvements necessary to accommodate
runoff from the new phase(s) shall be required to comply with the stormwater
regulations in effect at the time of application for the subsequent phase. The
previously approved and constructed portions of the facility shall not be
subject to re-evaluation or upgrade to current standards, except as necessary
to ensure that:
i. The total required stormwater volumes (existing and new) are fully
provided,
ii. The functionality and performance of the overall facility are not
materially impaired, and
iii. The expanded facility meets current standards solely with respect to
the additional contributing area.
iv. Nothing herein shall be construed to waive the requirement that the
combined system, as expanded, provides the total required
stormwater management for all contributing phases.
37. Sewer Lift Station Design. Developer has provided initial design for a gravity flow
system, combined with lift stations, for sewer service across the Project as part of
its Concept Master Plan. The City concurs with this design approach and has
received final approval from the Was hington State Department of Ecology.
a. In the event the City does not have standard details for sewer appurtenances
related to gravity sewer, WSDOT standards shall be followed. Details
provided by engineer of record or manufacturer shall also be acceptable.
b.The City has confirmed sewer capacity for serving the Project for the
following number of ERUs based on the following capacity measurements
assuming detached and attached residential, up to approximately two
hundred and forty (240) apartments, up to one hundred and fifty thousand
(150,000) square feet of commercial development, collectively as provided
for in Section 17, and all public dedication areas as improved:

38. Reclaimed Water. Developer has provided a reclaimed water design for the Concept
Master Plan. The design extends reclaimed water along the Tahoma Boulevard
through a twelve-inch main and provide loops therefrom in a smaller pipe size to
provide reclaimed water to be used for irrigation purposes in open spaces.
39. Utility Separation and Cover. A five-foot (5’) separation horizontally between all
non-potable utilities (such as sewer, storm, and reclaimed water) shall be allowed.
A horizontal separation of ten feet(10’) between potable water and non-potable
utilities shall be met to the extent feasible. Where infeasible, alternate measures
may be allowed, such as encasing the potable water, enhancing of pipe materials,
or placement of the utilities in separate tren ches, as allowed by the Washington
State Department of Ecology “Orange Book” formally Criteria for Sewage Works
Design.
Vertical separation between non-potable utilities shall be a minimum of 6”. Vertical
separations between non-potable and potable water, developer may request an
adjustment to vertical utility separations (eighteen inches (18”) minimum), by
providing altern ative safety measures. For example, six inch (6”) vertical separation
with a casing or controlled density fill, throughout the Project or on a Phased or
Division basis based upon reasonable justification, which may include economic or
site design considera tions to allow for development yield objectives to be met.
ESSD 4.00.150. Minimum and maximum cover over pipes may be adjusted to
allow for maximum serviceability of the overall site.
40. Emergency Services. Developer shall dedicate a minimum of two acre s for City use
for emergency services use which shall be located at a location to be determined by
Developer but contained within Phase 1, located within the western area of Phase 1
so as to be centrally located to the Project and readily accessible to future Phases.
Developer shall provide such dedication with the final plat of Phase 1, Division 2,
consistent with Section 1 2.
41. Domestic Water and Water Tower. City has confirmed there are sufficient water
rights, capacity and pressure to serve the Project, assuming construction of a water
tower, pond and well. City will design and construct the water tower, pond and well
based on the following funding parameters and for service to the Project upon
is suance of the 500 th building permit. City will assume the first four million dollars
in costs to allow for up front design and construction. City will fund the following
two million dollars in construction costs from Water System Development Charges
paid for by the first 250 building permits in Phase 1. Developer will construct booster
pumps for Phase 1 buildout as may be necessary, depending on City’s construction
schedule. In the event reasonable construction costs exceed six million dollars,
Developer will pay for up to two million dollars in actual costs and will be
subsequently credited its Water System Development Charges on a per permit basis.
28
Reasonable construction costs in excess of eight million dollars shall be borne
equally by the City and Developer with subsequent credits to Developer’s Water
System Development Charges on a per permit basis. Thereafter City shall collect
Water System Development Charges on a per permit basis for the remainder of the
project. If construction is delayed, all Developer deadlines and performance
obligations dependent upon water service availability shall be automatically
extended for the duration of the delay, and Developer s hall not be deemed in default
by reason of such delay.
42. Latecomers Agreements (Water; Sewer). In the event Developer constructs water
and/sewer from the current terminus of Tahoma Boulevard to the Project which
infrastructure is not otherwise funded, Developer shall be entitled to a latecomer
agreement for a duration of not exceeding fifteen (15) years pursuant to YMC
13.12.010.
43. Site Grading. To achieve site-wide mass balance, the Developer shall be permitted
to conduct grading, excavation (borrow), and/or stockpiling activities within areas
of the Project site that are located outside the limits of the phase under active
construction (“Off-Phase Areas”), including within future phases, provided that
borrow and stockpiling activities shall be conducted only on portions of the
Property that Developer has purchased and closed on under the PSA or that are
subject to a written lease, easement or other license between the City and
Developer. Borrow areas and stockpile locations shall be identified on the approved
civil plans, including associated limits of disturbance, clearing, grading, and
erosion and sediment control measures in accordance with applicable Cit y
standards and permits. The City acknowledges that field conditions may necessitate
adjustments to the location, configuration, and extent of such borrow and stockpile
areas. Accordingly, the Developer shall be permitted to modify these areas in the
field, provided that:
Such modifications are consistent with the overall intent of the approved
plans,
Appropriate erosion and sediment control measures are implemented
and maintained, and
The modifications are documented and submitted to the City as part of
record drawings and/or through applicable field revision or inspection
processes, as determined by the City.
No additional discretionary approvals shall be required for such
adjustments, provided the work remains within the Project boundaries and
complies with applicable grading, drainage, and environmental regulations.
All disturbed Off-Phase Areas shall be stabilized in accordance with City
29
standards and permit requirements until such time as they are developed
under a subsequent phase.
Grading within on-site slopes identified as geologically hazardous areas may be
permitted when supported by a geotechnical report prepared by the Project
geotechnical engineer. Such areas may be regraded, stabilized, and improved as
engineered slopes in ac cordance with the geotechnical recommendations, provided
that the design demonstrates long-term stability.
Where a geologically hazardous area is regraded and constructed as an engineered
slope in accordance with an approved geotechnical design, the associated geologic
hazard buffer may be reduced or eliminated, as appropriate, provided that:
The geotechnical report demonstrates that the regraded slope achieves a factor
of safety and performance standard consistent with or exceeding applicable
code requirements,
The need for the buffer is mitigated through engineering design, including slope
geometry, reinforcement, drainage controls, and erosion protection measures,
and
The City concurs that the engineered condition no longer warrants the full
extent of the standard buffer.
Any modified or eliminated buffer shall not be required to be re-established in
future phases, provided the engineered slope remains in place and continues to
perform as designed.
44. Road Standards. Developer and the City will, to the extent feasible, work to modify
applicable road standards in order to implement low impact development techniques.
Such techniques may require deviations from road standards, which will be
considered through the City’s road standards variance process.
45. Tahoma Boulevard Road Standard. The improvements to Tahoma Boulevard shall
be constructed in accordance with the City of Yelm Engineering Development
Design Standards (“EDDS”), as shown on Exhibit C(excerpted roadway standards)
and except as specifically agreed to per modified Tahoma Boulevard roadway
section, as shown on Exhibit D.
46. Internal Road Standards. The improvements to these roads, alleys and access tracts
shall be constructed in accordance with the EDDS, as shown on Exhibit E
(excerpted roadway standards) and except as specifically agreed to below:
a. Developer shall be allowed adjustments and/or deviations from the adopted
minimum street design standards including but not limited to road grades,
30
right of way widths, and curb radius, which shall be subject to City approval
that shall not be unreasonably withheld and may be conditioned on
reasonable requirements.
b. All road section details that have a varying buffer, which is noted “to be
determined by the City Engineer”, shall be zero (0).
c.City Curb ramp detail 2-12 is not compliant with current ADA and
PROWAG standards, WSDOT curb ramps shall be sure for the site.
d. Alley standards. Alleys shall be utilized for rear loaded product and follow
the standards below
i. Alleys shall be twenty (20) feet wide and accepted as public
roadways.
ii. Alleys maybe be inverted crown or supered to one side as
demonstrated on Exhibit F.
iii. Alleys shall include stormwater collection conveyance. While other
utilities are not anticipated to be placed in Alleys, developer
reserves the right to run any other utility necessary to serve to units
within the alley such that utility separations, as provided herein,
and appropriate easements are provided.
e. Developer shall be entitled to construct three-quarter (¾) street
improvements (including sidewalks and landscaping on one side of the road
and two travel lanes) where any roadway is bifurcated between Phases,
Divisions or property boundaries. The City wil l review any such proposed
three-quarter (¾) street improvement on a case-by-case basis to apply
reasonable conditions regarding adequate and safe transportation of
vehicles and pedestrians, and for future full street construction where a
three-quarter (¾) street exists along a Phase or Division boundary.
f. On Street Parking. On street parking is allowed on all internal roads except
along Tahoma Boulevard and collector roads which interconnect Phases
and Tahoma Boulevard. Developer may use a local street standard cross-
section for any collector (same overall ROW) where alley-lo aded
residential product lines both sides of the fronting roadway.
g. Off street Parking. Off-street parking may be provided in private driveways,
garages or off-street parking lots. Driveway parking shall be
8.5 feet wide by 20 feet deep, min.
h. Street Corners. Given the Project development as a Master Plan, the City
agrees that site planning for individual entitlement applications need not
31
meet the provisions set forth in YMC 18.59.060 for purposes of single
family and townhome residential units.
i.Contractor shall be allowed to use onsite suitable materials for subbase in
lieu of import gravel base. Geotechnical engineer shall review on site
materials and compaction must still be met.
47. Deviations or Adjustments from Engineering Standards. Developer may require
certain engineering standard and specification deviations or adjustments to
accommodate development as anticipated under the Concept Master Plan. The
parties have attempted herein to list those potential areas of deviation or adjustm ent
that could be needed but recognize that it is impossible to anticipate any or all
necessary requests. The City agrees to accept and process any deviation or
adjustment request and provide a decision within thirty (30) days, absent extenuating
circumstances. The City shall review each such request in its reasonable discretion
and may approve, approve with reasonable conditions, or deny the request based on
sound engineering judgment, consistency with the Concept Master Plan, a nd
compliance with the applicable provisions of the YMC and this Agreement. In the
event of disagreement over any City decision, the City shall provide a written
decision with administrative appeal opportunity to the City’s Hearing Examiner to
be resolved on an expedited basis as provided for in Section 6.
I. PARKS, RECREATION,OPEN SPACE, AND PEDESTRIAN
CONNECTIONS
48. Parks and Recreation. At least one public park of a minimum size of 10 acres shall
be dedicated, or otherwise set aside and retained in City ownership, as part of Phase
2 of the Project,unless otherwise agreed in writing by the City. The 10-acre public
park dedication space shall be situated so that it is located centrally to all phases at
the location depicted and amenities outlined on the Concept Master Plan or similar
location which serves the equivalent purposes and approved by the City
Administrator pursuant to Section 5. The purpose of the public park is to serve as a
focal point and organizing element for Project, including both the
commercial/mixed-use area and residential neighborhoods for their use and
enjoyment. The City recognizes that the value of this dedication was bargained for
with the PSA and constitutes Developer’s reasonable contribution towards park
impacts of the Project. Developer shall propose, fund, and construct the park
amenities, including but not limited to amenities supporting events and recreational
open space or play area(s) up to a total cost of two million dollars, which amount
shall be adjusted annually on each anniversary of the Effective Date by the
percentage change in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U)
for the Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue area published by the United States Bureau of
Labor Stati stics. The park improvements shall be completed as of Phase 3
completion (defined above as 75% occupancy).
32
49. Open Space. Inclusive of the above park area, Developer agrees to set aside at least
twenty percent (20%) of the total site area to a combination of public and private,
active and passive, open spaces. This calculation is based on a Project-wide basis;
each Phase will have varying amounts of open spac e depending on the phase
characteristics, development layout and location of critical areas. These open spaces
include public park area(s), community meeting spaces, event spaces, trails, private
parks (including pocket parks), critical areas and buffers. Stormwater ponds are not
counted toward open space calculations, however activated spaces around ponds
and/or over stormwater vaults would count toward open space calculations. At least
one active open space area will be located within every division of a Phase. Pocket
parks are to be owned and maintained by the Phase and Division homeowner
association. Active open spaces shall include, but not be limited to the following
outside privately owned yards:
(i) Playgrounds developed with children’s play equipment;
(ii) Improved pedestrian or bicycle paths with hard or soft surfaces;
(iii) Sports fields with associated improvements;
(iv) Indoor or outdoor sports courts (such as volleyball, basketball or
tennis courts), swimming pools, and similar facilities;
(v) Picnic areas with permanent tables, benches or gazebos;
(vi) Community clubhouse and meeting facilities;
(vii) Community gardens for use by the residents;
(viii) Plazas with lighting, artwork, and sitting space for pedestrians
(ix) Outdoor exercise facilities and courses
(x) Pet relief strips and play areas; and
(xi) Other similar uses.
50. Pedestrian Connectivity.
a. There shall be pedestrian and visual connectivity between Phases and
Divisions.
b.Sidewalks may be utilized as pedestrian connections between parks in
addition to unpaved trail systems.
c.A mix of paved and soft-surface trails and paths will be provided throughout
the site for interconnectivity of open spaces, parks and amenities. Options
for trails include wood chip/hog fuel, compacted soils, gravel, asphalt and
concrete. Trail materials will be based on use and site design. Trail sections
are provided in Exhibit G. Sections are provided in concept only and
materials, width, and design of trails may differ from shown.
d. To the extent that adjacent phases or properties are currently undeveloped,
temporary barricades shall be installed at the ends of the pedestrian
connections in order to discourage unauthorized or unsafe access onto such
33
other properties.
e. Those trails and paths which are paved shall comply with applicable ADA
requirements in accordance with applicable law.
J.MISCELLANEOUS

to perform the obligations hereunder and to execute the same. A memorandum of
this Agreement shall be recorded and a complete copy kept at Yelm City Hall and
made available to anyone requesting review or a copy consistent with the
Washington State Public Records Act.
53. Transfer of Obligations and Assignments.
a. Assignment of Interest After Closing. Developer shall have the right to
assign or transfer all or any portion of its interests, rights, obligations, or
responsibilities under this Agreement to third parties acquiring an interest in
any portion of the Prope rty that Developer has closed on under the PSA.
b. Assignment of Interest Prior to Closing. Prior to entitlement of any Phase of
the Project, Developer shall be entitled to assign its interest subject to the
terms of the PSA. Developer may assign all or any portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement, whether to an affiliate, merchant builder,
parcel taker, financing entity, or other successor in interest, upon
34
written notice to the City together with an assumption agreement executed
by the assignee. City consent, not unreasonably withheld, shall be required
for any assignment of rights or obligations relating to an unbuilt Phase or
to Project-wide infrastructure. The assigning Developer’s release from
liability with respect t o the transferred property shall take effect only upon
a written assumption agreement and the City’s written confirmation of the
assignee’s capacity to perform. City consent shall not be required for
assignments to affiliates or for transfers of lots, tracts, divisions, or phases
to builders or purchasers that assume the applicable obligations for the
transferred property. Upon effectiveness of any assignment and
assumption, assigning Developer shall be released from liability for
obligations first arising after the effectiv e date of assignment with respect
to the transferred property, except for obligations expressly retained in
writing.
c. No Creation of Master Developer Relationship. Under no circumstance will
assignment create a Master Developer relationship under this Agreement.
54. Voluntary Agreement. The Parties intend and acknowledge that this Agreement is
a voluntary contract binding upon the Parties hereto, as well as their successors and
assigns.
55. Amendment of Agreement This Agreement may be amended only by a written
instrument executed by Developer and approved by the City in the manner required
for the particular amendment classification under Section 5 of this Agreement.
56. Applicable Law and Venue. This Agreement is entered into under the laws of the
State of Washington, and the Parties intend that Washington state law shall apply to
interpretation of this Agreement. Venue and jurisdiction to enforce all obligations
under this Agreement shall lie in Thurston County Superior Court.
57. Default. No party shall be in default under this Agreement unless it has failed to
perform as required under this Agreement for a period of thirty (30) days after
written notice of default from the other party. Each notice of default shall specify
the nature of t he alleged default and the manner by which the default may be cured
satisfactorily. If the nature of the alleged default is such that it cannot be cured within
the thirty (30) day period, then commencement of the cure within such time period
and the diligent prosecution to completion of the cure activities shall be deemed a
cure. Any disputes under this section shall be resolved pursuant to the Dispute
Resolution terms herein.
58. Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute between the City and Developer
arising from this Agreement, including but not limited to deadlines, duties of parties,
material breach, or damages but excluding determinations made under Sections 5
35
and 6, the parties will first attempt to resolve the dispute informally. If informal
resolution fails, the Parties shall participate in good-faith, non-binding mediation. If
mediation does not resolve the dispute, either party may bring an action in Thurst on
County Superior Court. The Parties may, only by separate written agreement entered
after a dispute arises, submit that dispute to binding arbitration; no dispute
concerning land use regulations, public dedications, or other matters of public law
shall b e subject to mandatory or binding arbitration. The parties shall attempt to
agree on a mutually acceptable mediator during the next thirty days. If agreement
is not reached within such time period, either party may request that the Presiding
Judge of the Thurston County Superior Court appoint a mediator. If the appointed
mediator is unable to resolve the dispute, the matter may proceed to arbitration upon
the written request of both parties, or either Party may bring an action in Thurston
County Superior Court as provided in this Section. Any arbitration hall be conducted
pursuant to the Rules of the American Arbitration Association, regardless of whether
the arbitrator is a member of that Association. The arbitrator’s fee shall be divided
equally between the parties, provided the arbitrator shall award costs, including the
arbitrator’s fee, to the prevailing party if the arbitrator determines that a party has
pursued claims in bad faith or claims which are frivolous. This section shall not
apply to any action subject to Section 6 above.
59. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs. In any arbitration or judicial action to enforce or
determine a party's rights under this Agreement, the prevailing party (or the
substantially prevailing party, if no one party prevails entirely) shall be entitled to
reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, including fees and costs incurred in the appeal
of any ruling of a lower court. In the event of litigation or arbitration between the
parties hereto, declaratory or otherwise, in connection with this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall recover its reason able costs and attorneys' fees actually
incurred, including for appeals, which shall be determined and fixed by the court or
arbitrator as part of the judgment, provided the parties hereby agree that the amounts
actually charged to the parties by their respective counsel shall be presumed to be
reasonable by any court or arbitrator and shall not be reduced or increased unless the
court or arbitrator specifically finds that the rates for such legal work were
unreasonable or that some portion of the legal work was unnecessary or performed
without justification.
60. Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement, or its applicability to a
particular situation, is found to be invalid, void or unenforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall
continue in full force and effect unless and to the extent the remaining provisions, if
implemented, would be inconsistent with or otherwise fail to carry out the mutual
intent of the Parties.
61. Mutual Drafting and Construction. The Parties agree that both Parties participated
fully in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement and the rules of construction
36
of ambiguities against the drafter shall not apply to either Party. The Parties
acknowledge that all placeholders, drafting notes, bracketed alternatives, and
incomplete exhibit references shall be removed and finalized before execution of the
Agreement.

Street design must provide for the maximum loading conditions
anticipated. The width and grade of the pavement must conform to
specific standards set forth herein for safety and uniformity.
A. Design Standards. The design of streets and roads shall depend
upon their type and usage. The design elements of City streets shall
conform to City standards as set forth herein and current standard
specifications as set forth in Subsection 1.00.010. Standard street
design s are shown on the drawing s at the end of this chapter. A
design exception may be granted by t he City based on the following
criteria:
1. Reduction of carrying capacity as demonstrated by a Traffic
Impact Analysis;
2. When alternative methods of stormwater conveyance and
treatment (other than swales) are proposed and in compliance
with the Stormwater Manual;
3. Future expansions / extensions of the proposed roadway are
improbable due to physical constraints; and
4. Meets the intent of Transportation Chapter 2.00
5. Alternate structures may be used based on the criteria as outlined
in Subsection 2.10.1 1 0.
B. Alignment. Alignment of major arterials, minor arterials and
collectors shall conform as nearly as possible with that shown in the
Comprehensive Plan.
C. Grade. Longitudinal (profile) s treet grade s should conform closely to
the natural contour of the land. In some cases a different grade may
be required by the City. The minimum allowable grade shall be 0.5
percent. The maximum allowable grade shall be 15 percent.

2.1 0.040 Naming
Streets and roads shall be named according to specific criteria. All street
addresses within the City shall be suffixed by the name of the quadrant
within which the same is located. The City is divided into four districts as
determined by the base lines described in YMC 12.20.
An address number will be assigned to all new buildings at the time the
building permit is issued. It is then the owner's responsibility to see that
the house numbers are placed clearly and visibly at the main entrance to
the property or at the principal place of ingress.
The City of Yelm Public Services director, or his/her designee shall serve
as the addressing officer.
The developer must check with the addressing officer regarding the
naming of streets. This should be done at the time the preliminary land
division is submitted and again upon approval of the final land division.
The Building Official will e nsure that the name assigned to a new street is
consistent with policies of the City.
Developers shall follow the same criteria as the Yelm Addressing Officer
when proposing street names or propose names that reflect the
geography, history, or heritage of the Yelm area. Street names when not
selected by the developer shall be chosen by the City of Yelm Addressing
Officer. The addressing officer will choose street names from either the
addressing officer may choose a name that honors a citizen
posthumously.
2.1 0.05 0 Signing
The developer shall furnish and install all signage. All permanent signing
shall comply with the provisions as established by the MUTCD, WSDOT
Standard Specifications for Road, Bridge, and Municipal Construction and
the WSDOT Sign Fabrication Manual. Street designation signs will
display the street name as determined in Subsection 2.10.040 YDS.
2.1 0.06 0 Right-of-Way
Right-of-Way is determined by the functional classification of a street.
See drawing numbers 2-1 through 2-8 for specific widths. See Minimum
Street Design Standards Table Subsection 2.10.030 YDS for radius
requirements at cul-de-sac "bulb". Right-of-Way at "bulb" shall be
increased accordingly.
Draft Engineering Specifications and Standard Details - 06/26/2024 8
Right-of-Way requirements may be increased if additional lanes, pockets,
transit lanes, bus loading zones, operational speed, bike lanes, utilities,
schools or other factors are required as determined by the City.
Right-of-Way shall be conveyed to the City on a recorded land division
map or by a Right-of-Way dedication deed.
2.1 0.0 7 0 Medians
A median shall be in addition to, not part of, the specified roadway width
except on a road classed as a boulevard. Medians shall be designed so
as not to limit turning radius or sight distance at intersections.
Pedestrian access, landscaping, and irrigation shall be installed when
directed by the City.
2.1 0.080 Intersections
Traffic control will be as specified in the Manual on Uniform Traffic
Control Devices (MUTCD), or as modified by the City as a result of
appropriate traffic engineering studies.
Street intersections shall be laid out so as to intersect as nearly as
possible at right angles (within 15 degrees).
For safe design, the following types of intersection features should be
avoided:
Intersections with more than four intersecting streets
"Y" type intersections whe re streets meet at acute angles
Intersections adjacent to bridges and other sight obstructions
Spacing between adjacent intersecting streets, whether crossing or "T"
should be as follows:
Minimum Spacing Between
Minimum Centerline
When highest Driveways and Other
offset Between Public

Neighborhood Collector 200 100
Local Access 150 22
Private Roadway 150 22
Draft Engineering Specifications and Standard Details - 06/26/2024 9
When different class streets intersect, the higher standard shall apply on
curb radii. Deviations to this may be allowed at the direction of the City.
On sloping approaches at an intersection, landings shall be provided with
grade not to exceed one foot difference in elevation for a distance of 30
feet approaching any arterial or 20 feet approaching a collector or local
access street, measured from nearest Right-of-Way line (extended) of
intersecting street.
2.1 0.090 Sight Obstruction
Sight distance at intersections and road approaches shall be in
conformance with the most current WSDOT Design Manual and the
AASHTO Green Book.
Within the sight triangle, cut slopes, hedges, fences, trees, signs, utility
poles, or anything large enough to constitute a sight obstruction should
be removed or lowered. Parking should also be eliminated and signs
offset so sight distance is not obstructed.
Sight obstructions that may be excluded from these requirements
include: existing utility poles, regulatory signs, trees trimmed from the
base to a height of 10 feet above the street, and preexisting buildings.
A sight distance maintenance easement, if required, must be granted to
the City for all improvements including commercial and residential
development, and land divisions. The sight distance maintenance
easement is based upon the sight distance triangle calculations in the
most current WSDOT Design Manual and the latest edition of the
AASHTO Green Book.
2.1 0.100 Driveways
A.All abandoned driveway areas shall be removed and the curbing
and sidewalk or shoulder and ditch section shall be properly
restored.
B.All drive approaches constructed within street right of ways shall be
constructed of Portland Cement Concrete and shall be subject to
the same testing and inspection requirements as curb, gutter, and
sidewalk construction.
C.Grade breaks, including the tie to the roadway, shall be a
maximum 8 percent on a crest and 12 percent in a sag.
D.Road approach type accesses shall only be allowed when justified
through an accepted traffic analysis and report, and approved by
the City Engineer.
E.Spacing criteria seek to achieve several objectives. One is to
clearly identify which property the driveway is serving. Another is
Draft Engineering Specifications and Standard Details - 06/26/2024 10
to leave a usable island between driveways for utility poles and
traffic control devices.
F.An additional factor concerns the spacing of high-volume driveways
where deceleration or acceleration lanes are required. Examples
would include driveways into community and regional shopping
centers as well as those into major industrial, commercial, and
apartment complexes. At least several hundred feet between
major driveways is desirable. Factors to be considered include the
speeds and volumes of entering and leaving traffic, the speeds of
through traffic, and the resultant merging movements upstream
and downstream.
G.It is important that driveways be designed for the particular traffic
characteristics anticipated and that upstream and downstream
factors affecting a driveway location be considered in each
instance. Drawing number 2-25 contains minimum spacing
recommendations. All driveway spacing must be approved by the
City.
H.Driveways giving direct access onto arterials may be denied if
alternate access is available. Deviations of these standards may be
permitted by the City.
2.1 0.110 Surfacing Requirements
The following are the surfacing requirements for each application listed.
A.Boulevard and Arterial Streets
The engineer will provide a pavement design. The design of the
pavement shall include a study of the native soils, their behavior
under load, and the design of a structural section to carry the
anticipated loads under all climate conditions. In no event shall
the structural section be less than the minimums shown below:
Surfacing: Class B Asphalt Concrete
Top Course: Crushed Surfacing Top Course
Base: Gravel Base
One soil sample per each 500 LF of centerline with 3 minimum per
project representative of the roadway subgrade shall be taken to
determine a statistical representation of the existing soil conditions
at design grade.
The pavement design, signed and stamped by an engineer licensed
by the State of Washington, shall be based on actual soils tests and
submitted with the plans.
Draft Engineering Specifications and Standard Details - 06/26/2024 11
The following structural section may be used in lieu of a pavement

3.00.010 General Considerations
The standards established by this chapter are intended to represent the
minim um standards for the design and construction of storm drainage
facilities.
The City of Yelm (City) has adopted t he latest edition of the Department
of Ecology Stormwater Management Manual of Western Washington
(SWMMWW) by reference and is hereinafter referred to as the M anual. The
Manual is considered a part of the se s tandards and sets forth minimum
drainage and erosion control requirements. Where conflicting information
occurs between this chapter and the Manual, the most appropriat e
standard as determined by the Civil Review Engineer shall apply.
3.00.020 Design Standards
The design of storm drainage and/or retention/detention system shall
depend on their type and local site conditions. The design elements of
storm drainage systems shall conform to City standards as set forth herein
and follow current design practice as set forth in Chapter 1. The following
design considerations shall apply:
A.No retention/detention facility shall be located in an area that is used
to satisfy an open s pace requirement unless it is approved during
Site Plan Review.
B.Use of designated open space areas for stormwater detention /
retention and for infiltration shall satisfy all conditions of the City for
usability and l andscape conformity. See Section 3.00.0 30 for
landscape considerations.
C.The City shall make the sole determination whether the proposed
stormwater facilities are compatible with open space and satisfy the
intent of the City for open space amenities.
D.Infiltration trenches shall not be located under a public roadway
prism. Infiltration trenches and swales may be located within the
public right-of-way within a planter strip or green belt as long as the
trench or swale does not interfere with the original intent of the
planter strip or green be lt.
E.Stormwater facilities shall not have other utilities located within
t hem unless approved during the civil plan review. Adequate
separation (as determined by the City) between stormwater facilities
and other utilities will also be required.
F.Swales designed for transporting, storing and/or infiltrating
stormwater shall not be located on a lot designated for single family
Engineering Specifications and Standard Details - 08/26/2020 2
occupancy. Easements proposed for such swales shall not be
allowed. This is necessary due to the complexity of operating and
maintaining the integrity of such facilities within fenced and
landscaped private property.
G.The use of commercial parking lots for detention of storm water will
be reviewed by the Civil Review Engineer and approved or denied
based on the design. The dete ntion area shall be situated away from
areas of pedestrian movement unless means for the rapid closing of
the area is incorporated into the design. The maximum depth of
water in parking lot storage shall be limited to 12 inches.
H.Maximum catch basin spacin g shall be 300 feet on boulevards,
arterials and collectors and 500 feet on all other street
classifications.
I.The maximum depth of a retention or detention basin shall be 4.5
feet from the pond bottom to the top of the side slope (not the water
elevation). Deeper basins
Engineer. If basins over 4.5 feet deep have side slopes steeper than
4:1 (horizontal:vertical), then benches that are a minimum 3 feet
wide shall be required for every 4.5 feet of depth. If basins o ver 4.5
feet deep have sides flatter than 4:1, benches are not required.
3.00.030 Landscape Considerations
The final landscape design shall be prepared by a licensed landscape
architect or certified nursery technician. Wherever possible, existing trees
and other native vegetation around the facility shall be saved. This allows
for a smooth transition to other undeveloped areas and helps retain the
character of the site.
New vegetation will need to be planted regardless of how much is cleared.
Plantings should be designed with specific functions in mind: soil
preservation, erosion control, evapotranspiration, screening, space
definition, sun and shade, and others. Use a combination of trees, shrubs
and groundcovers to provide variety and interest. Plant at least three
different species of trees and shrubs.
Native plants that will tolerate flooding and wet conditions are preferred.
To ensure survival of newly planted native vegetation, it is recommended
that the plants be irrigated for the first season. I n wet ponds with standing
water, wetland herbaceous species (cattails, sedges, rushes, etc.) must be
included.
Regional wet basins located in commercial developments should be
designed with consideration for pedestrian and passive recreation
facilities. A menities around regional wet basins such as picnic tables,
benches, gazebos, etc. are encouraged. Aeration and/or recirculation of
Engineering Specifications and Standard Details - 08/26/2020 3
the water, such as waterfalls, cascades and fountains, should be
considered to reduce the potential for odors to develop duri ng the warmer
months, to add visual interest, and to mask unwanted traffic noise.
Consult the City Associate Planner for additional details on plant and
landscape design criteria.
3.00.0 4 0 Conveyance
Pipe: Storm drainpipe within a public right-of-way o r easement shall be
sized to carry the maximum anticipated runoff from the possible
contributing area using a 25-year, 24-hour storm event model or a
continuous time series model with 25-year conditions, whichever is more
stringent.
All storm pipe shall be a minimum of 12-inch diameter for mains within
the right-of-way. Laterals less than 12 inch in diameter must be approved
by City Civil Review Engineer as supported by situation variables. When
private stormwater (i.e. roof, lot or footing drains) cannot be infiltrated on
individual lots, the minimum standard piping connection to the public
system shall be 8 inch PVC. The 8-inch main used for connection shall
begin at the right-of-way, the connection to the catch basin or manhole
sh all be cored.
The minimum cover above the top of the storm drainpipe shall be 2 feet.
Where the minimum depth includes the roadway section, structural
calculations for the appropriate H-loading shall be submitted along with
the plans. All pipe specified wh ere the cover is 2 feet or less shall be
concrete or ductile iron of a class determined by the structural calculations.
All pipe for storm mains shall comply with the requirements specified in
the Storm General Notes at the end of this chapter.
Channels: The City encourages the use of open vegetated channels to
convey stormwater runoff when possible. Any open channels proposed to
be located within public right-of-way shall require special approval from
the Director of Public Works.
Private stormwater con veyance piping shall not be located within the public
right-of-way. Where soils or other conditions prohibit infiltration on
individual parcels (as determined by the Civil Review Engineer),
stormwater may be conveyed to the stormwater facilities ass ociated with
the residential or commercial development. In that case, the stormwater
conveyance system located in the public right-of-way shall be sized to
accommodate the additional stormwater. The minimum private
stormwater conveyance pipe size within th e right of way shall be 8 inch in
diameter. Multiple roof drains shall be terminated at a common junction
structure outside of the Right of Way (i.e. catch basin or manhole). The
Engineering Specifications and Standard Details - 08/26/2020 4
shal l be through an 8-inch main connecting to a City catch basin or
m anhole.
3.00.0 5 0 Staking
All surveying and staking shall be performed by an engineering or
surveying firm capable of performing such work. The surveyor directing
such work shall be licensed a s a Professional Land Surveyor by the State
of Washington.
The minimum staking of storm sewer systems shall be as follows:
A. Stake centerline alignment every 50 feet with station and cut or fill
to invert of pipe.
B. Stake location of all catch basins, manholes and other fixtures for
grade and alignment with cut or fill to rim and invert of all pipes.
C. Grade stake or slope stake (as appropriate) at intervals, sufficient to
control location, size and depth of retent ion/detention facilities.
3.00.0 6 0 Erosion Control
See Volumes I and II of the Manual for specific erosion control
requirements. Sites subject to a Construction Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP) must have the SWPPP approved prior to any site
dis turbing activity. All erosion control measures shall be implemented and
maintained throughout the entire site development process and a financial
vehicle shall be provided to ensure removal of temporary erosion control
measures after the project is develop ed.
3.00.0 7 0 Trench Excavation
See Chapter 4.0 0.1 7 0 for requirements regarding trench excavation.
3.00.0 8 0 Backfilling
See Chapter 4.0 0.1 9 0 for requirements regarding backfilling.
3.00.090 Street Patching and Restoration
See Sections 2.10.130 and 2.10.140 YDS for requirements regarding
street patching and trench restoration.
3.00.1 0 0 Maintenance
All stormwater facilities in the City, both public and private, shall be
maintained according to this Chapter, maintenance guidelines specific to
the stormwater fa cility, and the Minimum Maintenance Requirements and
Standards of the Stormwater Management Manual for Western
Washington, as published by the Washington State Department of Ecology

approved designs for stormwater facilities, stormwater permits that
may be issued by the City, the State Department of Ecology or the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), applicable constru ction
standards, and the minimum requirements as stated in the Manual.
B.Disposal of waste from maintenance activities shall be conducted in
accordance with the minimum Functional Standards for Solid Waste
Handling, Chapter 173-304 WAC, guidelines for disposal of waste
materials from stormwater maintenance activities, and where
appropriate, the Dangerous Waste Regulations, Chapter 173-
303 WAC.

The City of Yelm Technical Specifications were originally developed for use
with onsite Septic Tank Effluent Pump (STEP) tank installations, onsite
wastewater disposal sys tem installations that were converted to STEP, and
STEP collection line installations. Revisions in 2023 to these specifications
added section s for the implementation of Grinder Systems and Gravity
Sewers in the future.
Sanitary sewage refers to waste water derived from domestic, commercial
and industrial pretreated waste to which storm, surface, and ground water
are not intentionally admitted.
Any extension of Yelm's sanitary sewer system shall be approved by the City
Engineer and shall conform to the City of Yelm Comprehensive Sewer Plan,
Thurston County Health Department, Department of Ecology (DOE), and
Washington State Department of Health (DOH) requirements. In case of
conflict between any of these Standards, the most stringent conditions shall
apply. Specific site conditions may require variance from the comprehensive
plan and require approval from the City Engineer and/or Public Services
Director.
Within the corporate City limits where a public sewer is available it shall be
used. Where public sewer is not available within the City limits, connection is
required provided that the premises are within 200 feet of the public sewer
collection system; however, all new homes and businesses constructed
within the corporate City limits shall connect to public sewer regardless of
distance from the public sewer.
Growth area shall connect to public sewer, regardless of distance, when
made a condition of land use approval or where public sewer is already
located within 200 feet of the property line of the parcel.
Anyone who wishes to extend or connect to the City's sewer system sh all
contact the Public Services Department for a sewer extension/connection fee
estimate. The design of the proposed sewer shall start from the existing
system.
Prior to the operation of any sewer systems, all Public Works improvements
shall be completed and approved and all applicable fees shall be paid. In the
event that a sewer project has no new water meters to trigger payment of
Engineering Specifications and Standard Details - 07/22/2024 2
the connection fees, the sewer connection fees shall be paid prior to the
start of construction.
Ownership, operation and maintenance of the tank, pump, and pump
controls shall be the responsibility of the City only after the system has been
inspected and approved, an easement granted, ownership of the STEP
component conveyed to the City, and the warranty period of one year has
expired. The City requires that easements for a new development be granted
on the plat, otherwise, an easement for each lot shall be granted at the time
of connection.
Currently, only the Orenco STEP Pump System shown in the drawing section
of this C hapter has been approved by the City. Any alternate shall be
reviewed and approved by the City.
5.00.020 Shared Sewer S ystem
Customers located on the same parcel may share a single sewer system,
regardless of whether these living units or businesses are configured as two
separate structures or as a single structure. In the case of a shared tank, a
separate dedicated electric service must be installed for the STEP tank.
In the event a property with a shared system is subdivided or multiple
properties utilizing a single shared system desire to alter the sewer system
such as upsizing, replacing, or adding another tank(s), the shared system
must be separated into individual systems.
