Re: Waiver request for proposed annexation
Dear Mr. Falcone:
Pursuant to RCW 36.93.110 the City of Yelm requests the full Boundary Review Board process be waived on the enclosed application for annexation.
The proposed annexation is less than 10 acres in size and is less than $2 million in assessed value, including improvements. Following is information requested, by the Chair of the
Boundary Review Board, for a waiver to be considered.
The proposed annexation area includes tax parcel number 64303200300. The parcel is 9.33 acres with an assessed valuation of $943,050.00.
The City of Yelm received a Notice of Intent to Commence Annexation Proceedings in April 2007. The property owner submitted a Petition to Annex to the City Council on April 10, 2007.
Copy of the City Council minutes are attached.
The current County zoning is 1 unit per 5 acres. Upon annexation the parcel would be zoned Heavy Commercial (C-2) in accordance with the site's future land use designation found in
Yelm's Comprehensive Plan and Joint Plan with Thurston County. Please see enclosed map.
The proposed annexation site is rectangular in shape and contiguous to the City on the west and north property lines. The proposed annexation area is within Yelm's urban growth boundary.
Please see enclosed map.
The original and eight (8) copies of the application, and a CD Rom containing the application package as adobe acrobat .pdf files is enclosed.
Thank you for your consideration. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (360) 458-8496.
