20080347 CC Staff ReportI OF THFp~~ 4~ 9~ off. ~n YELM WASHINGTON To: Mayor Ron Harding Yelm City Council City of Yelm STAFF REPORT From: Tami Merriman, Associate Planner Date: May 16, 2011 (for May 24, 2011 City Council Meeting) Subj: Eagle Plaza Final Binding Site Plan Recommendation Approve the final Binding Site Plan, BSP-08-0347-YL and authorize Mayor Ron Harding to sign the final Binding Site Plan. Background The Yelm Hearing Examiner approved, with conditions, a preliminary binding site plan for the above referenced project on November 24, 2008. The project has finished construction, and the applicant has filed a complete application for final Binding Site Plan. Pursuant to the State Subdivision Act at Section 58.17.110 RCW, the Hearing Examiner found that the public use and interest will be served by the proposed preliminary subdivision and that appropriate provisions were made for the public health, safety, and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets or roads, alleys, other public ways, transit stops, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, playgrounds, schools and school grounds and all other relevant facts, including sidewalks and other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who only walk to and from school. Many of these conditions are required to be met prior to approving a final subdivision, including the dedication of open spaces, drainage ways, the construction of streets, and the construction of water and sewer pipes and lines. Provisions for other areas of the public use and interest, such as water supplies, sanitary sewer capacity, and school mitigation fees are addressed at the time a building permit is issued. Pursuant to the State Subdivision Act at Section 58.17.150 RCW, final subdivisions are required to be accompanied by a recommendation for approval by the agency furnishing sewage disposal and supplying water as to the adequacy of the proposed means of sewage disposal and water supply. Each preliminary plat submitted for final approval of the legislative body shall be accompanied by the following agencies' recommendations for approval or disapproval: (1) Local health department or other agency furnishing sewage disposal and supplying water as to the adequacy of the proposed means of sewage disposal and water supply; (2) Local planning agency or commission, charged with the responsibility of reviewing plats and subdivisions, as to compliance with all terms of the preliminary approval of the proposed plat subdivision or dedication; (3) City, town or county engineer. (Section 58.17.150 RCW] The proposed means of water supply, connecting to the City's water system, is adequate and it is expected that water rights to serve uses within the binding site plan will be available at the time of building permit issuance pursuant to Section 19.27.097 RCW. The City currently has approximately 300 water connections available, enough to accommodate over two years building growth. The City has submitted to the Washington Department of Ecology mitigation plans for new water rights. The Department is currently processing these applications and the City expects approval of the first 554 acre feet this year. The City has been working on infrastructure improvements to increase source capacity and storage as well. The following note has been placed on the face of the final subdivision: Issuance of a building permit constitutes the City of Yelm's determination that evidence of an adequate water supply for the intended use of the building has been provided pursuant to Section 19.27.097 RCW. If the City is unable to provide potable water at the time a building permit application is submitted for any structure within this subdivision, the permit will not be issued until such time as evidence of an adequate water supply can be made pursuant to Section 19.27.097 RCW. The proposed means of sewage disposal, connecting to the Yelm Wastewater Treatment Facility, is adequate. Improvements associated with the binding site plan, including streets, sidewalks, stormwater treatment and disposal, sewer lines, water lines, street lighting, and open spaces, have been constructed pursuant to Yelm Development Guidelines and have been approved and accepted by City staff. All conditions of the Hearing Examiner's approval have been met by the developer. Current Situation Staff has reviewed the binding site plan for compliance with the conditions of approval placed on the preliminary binding site plan and is satisfied that the final binding site plan meets all conditions of the preliminary approval.
