Nisqually Estates Division II - Final Plat: Ms. Carlson briefly reviewed the
staff report and stated there were three items on the punch list which were not
complete when the staff report was sent out, but they have been completed
now Mr. Gorman asked if there were any questions from the Planning
Commission (PC) members? Mr. Gorman then asked Ms Carlson ifthere have
been any problems with home owners associations? Ms. Carlson said there
have been none to date

CITY COUNCIL FOR REVIEW AND APPROVAL. MOTION CARRIED
Stevens Street Vacation Reauest: Ms. Carlson explained the city codes on
a street vacation process Mr. Gorman asked if the PC members had any
questions? There was some discussion regarding the vacation of this street.
Ms. Longmire said she feels this is a direct contradiction to city policy More
discussion followed Mr. Gorman stated he has two concerns - 1) is it logical to
vacate the street or not? 2) and if it is logical to vacate the street, is it
appropriate to consider whether or not there is economic value being passed
on to the adjacent property owners and if so what is the city council's process
for dealing with that? Ms. Clapp added a third concern - 3) if in its current state
- the logic of vacating the street versus in its fully developed state, and if it were
to be subdivided and developed - then should it be with the grid pattern or with
a different pattern?
Ms. Longmire stated she doesn't see how it is justified to vacate the street when
the city's policy is to have connecting streets and streets are being put in where
citizens don't really want them in order to fulfill the policy of having the
connecting streets, and then the city owns a street (such as this one, Stevens
Street) and the city wants to give it away Ms. Carlson said that the policy is not

applicable 1 OO%of the time to every piece of property - this situation is staffs 0
interpretation Mr. Gorman said "procedure-wise" the PC has to consider this
request and develop a recommendation for city council Ms. Carlson said that
is correct.
Applicant Carl Tietge introduced himself and Robert Bussey, and stated that
they have an agreement to purchase the property if they can get preliminary plat
which suits their needs and is financially feasible to do Mr. Tietge continued -
originally when he looked at the property - it wasn't feasible financially to put
Stevens Street through - it would actually diminish the number of lots they could
get out of the property without the right-of-way If one looks at the property,
from the middle school going West - the property drops off about 10 or 11 feet
into the very bottom - it would take thousands of yards of fill to fill the whole low
area in order to put a road grade through there and the cost of the road would
be about $200,000 - there just isn't any way it is financially justifiable to put it
through, plus - the way the property is configured - it is so small that there would
be no way to have really more than 1 or 2 lots fronting that road
Mr. Tietge continued - from the city's standpoint there are concerns - besides
it not really fitting the transportation system, they would really be increasing the
tax base and increasing the maintenance budget by adding 400 feet of road that
nothing fronts onto - because no matter how this gets developed, almost every
lot is going to front onto Coates, Solberg, Van Trump or Longmire Mr. Gorman
asked why is it necessary to have the property if its not going to be used? Mr. 0
Tietge stated it will be used probably for storm retention Discussion continued
Mr. Tietqe stated he doesn't believe the property has no value, but he doesn't
think it meets the city's grid pattern and in this instance if the extension over to
the next street is impeded by houses already in the right-of-way - he doesn't feel
he can ask those homeowners to vacate - because then they would probably
have to compensate
Mr. Gorman asked how would the street infrastructure be developed if that was
vacated to access the interior part of the property? Mr. Tietge said there would
be an access easement - he explained it further Ms. Longmire asked what the
width of Solberg Street is? Ms. Carlson stated it is a 60 foot right-of-way Mr.
Tietge said there are different rig ht-of-ways , but he has to give up enough to
meet the right-of-way requirements - Van Trump is 60' -Longmire, Coates and
Solberg are 50' Discussion followed Mr. Thomson stated if the city is going
to vacate half of Stevens Street and on the other half right now, allegedly there
is a house sitting on city property who isn't paying taxes because they are not
on any property - why wouldn't we vacate the entire Stevens Street and
recommend this to the city council? Why would we vacate half of Stevens
Street and wait around for someone to come in and ask to vacate when the
whole area has been built on? Ms. Carlson stated the people living in that
house are paying property taxes on their whole parcel, technically if the city
Yelm Planning Commission

o
decided that Stevens Street was a really important street and the city wanted
it to go through - then those houses would have to be moved Mr. Thomson
stated by vacating half of Stevens Street, technically the city is then declaring
that it's not a important street - so why not vacate the whole street? Then the
city has definitely made the decision that it is an important street, its never going
to go through Ms. Carlson stated it's hard to determine what is going to
happen in the future - that's a big undeveloped field out there, and someone
may come in and buy all of it. Mr. Kent said he doesn't think the city would be
saving any money by vacating the whole thing now
o
Ms. Longmire asked if the city has researched the policy in the past to set a
precedent whether or not they have ever charged anyone for any vacated
streets? Ms. Carlson said she could not find any old vacations (in all the most
recent files and records) that the adjacent property owners compensated for
Ms. Clapp stated she agrees with Ms Longmire's comment but since they are
looking to actually develop those lots and fill it in as opposed to the landowners
just wanting to use it for a bigger back yard etc Ms. Clapp said she would
make a motion to allow for just that half - contingent on the fact that it does get
developed Ms. Longmire said it could be tied to the development.
Mr. Kent said he would endorse that concept - just to keep the grid idea
together Mr. Thomson asked if it could be worded to say - "if in the event the
properties there were combined in such a manner that a portion of Stevens
Street would be required to develop that property then the city would agree
upon vacating that section of Stevens"? Ms. Carlson stated another way of
wording it would be "the vacation will not occur until such time that the applicant
receives preliminary plat." Mr. Tietge stated he has problems with requiring it
at final plat only because it might be difficult to get construction financing from
the bank without owning the property There was more discussion

interest? There was none Mr. Gorman asked if any member of the Planning 0
Commission had received any information prior to the hearing? No Mr.
Gorman asked the applicant if there were any conflicts of interest with any of the
PC members? No Ms. Carlson handed out an additional comment letter
received from Mrs Lee Spivey, then gave the staff report. Mr. Gorman asked
the applicant if he would like to speak? Mr. Norbierg just thanked the city for all
their help Mr. Gorman asked the PC members if they had any questions? Mr.
Thomson asked about the retention pond? Ms. Carlson explained that behind
the sidewalk there is a 10 foot utility easement and behind that is another 10
foot utility easement on both sides - so they are actually putting the storm water
in people's front yards and it's running lineal just parallel with the street. The
civil engineer reviewed and it was all consistent.
Ms. Clapp asked the applicant if he is building houses or just selling lots? Mr.
Norbierg stated houses will be built, but he hasn't decided on the price range
Mr. Baker asked about a fence? Mr. Norbierg stated he is looking into the white
vinyl fencing - but if that is not used then he will go with a 6 foot wooden fence
Mr. Gorman asked if there were any further questions or comments? None Mr.
Gorman closed the public hearing at 450 P m

Petition to Vacate Right-of-Way
Exhibits
Exhibit I - Request for Street Vacation
Exhibit II - Site Map of Area Proposed for Vacation
Exhibit 111- Resolution No 408
Exhibit IV - Aerial of Area
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends the Planning Commission refer the Vacation Petition to the City Council for
approval
Backqround
The City received a petition, signed by 2/3 of the abutting property owners, to vacate the Stevens
Street right-of-way between Solberg Street and Longmire Street. RCW 35 79 requires the City
Council set a public hearing date, by Resolution, to consider the petition The attached Resolution
No 408, sets a public hearing date for January 10, 2001
Prior to the close of the public hearing, Chapter 16 14, requires the petition be referred to the
Planning Commission for review and comment.
Staff Analysis
At this location the Stevens Street unopened right-of-way is only one block and is bound on the
east end by School District property and on the west by a residence As shown on the enclosed
aerial map Stevens Street between Cullens Rd and Longmire Street is encumbered with buildings
and under current conditions could not be opened The portion of Stevens Street proposed to be
dedicated lies between Solberg Street and Longmire St. is unencumbered at this time
If a street was constructed on the one block of Stevens Street proposed for vacation, it would not
increase the efficiency of automobile movement in the immediate or surrounding neighborhoods
The City's Transportation Plan does not identify the opening of this block of right-of-way as a short
or long term need

REQUEST FOR STREET VACATION
CITY OF YELM
o
This letter is a request from the undersigned owners to the City of Yelm to vacate
an unimproved portion of Stevens Street in the City of Yelm that abuts their property
Attached to this request are the legal descriptions of the two parcels of property which
we own Also attached is a Thurston County Assessor's map of the two. parcels we
own and Stevens Street right of way that we are requesting to be vacated The
property we own abuts seventy five percent (75%) of the Stevens Street right of way
that we are requesting be vacated
We have entered into a purchase and Sale Agreement with Robert A. Bussey
and Carl 0 Teitge to purchase our parcels of property They are in the process of
preparing a Preliminary Plat Application for our two parcels of property In that process
it became gpparent that Stevens Street dead ends at the middle school on the east and
on the west does not continue A house is constructed on Longmire Street in what
would be the westerly right of way extension of Stevens Street. We believe that the plat
can be served better by the existing right of ways of Coates, Solberg, Van Trump and
Longmire Streets. These right of ways would be improved to city standards. The city
would not have the additional maintenance expense for a new Stevens Street.
If you have any questions on this request, the communication may be faster if
you please contact Robert A. Bussey at 360-264-6355, 157 Lemieux Lane, Tenino,

CITY OF YELM
RE Mill Valley Residential SubdivIsion
AU Cathie Carlson
In my talks wIth city staff and look 109 at the copy of the Prelimmary Plat of Mill Valley Estates
that they furnIshed I see that the mlet road to the property IS not a through street and will stop in
a cul-de-sac short of the south property Ime which IS the line that I hold 10 common with the
proposed project.
c
In the development of the property to the west by JCH Development two roads sites were
stubbed off with utihtJes at both, one at the pomt that IS to be the inlet for the road mto Mill
Valley Estates and the other on the intersectIOn of my property wIth Mill CIrcle with the deSign
that these two road sites and utilities should In the future be connected to make the thru loop for
less congestion and with future development in mmd.
It is my wife as well as my own wishes that this still be the over all plan as I explamed to the CIty
staff and also to Mr .and Mrs. Donald Brugeon on numerous occasIOns m the past. We are more
than ready to work with City staff and developers to thiS end.

commercial lot. The proposed plat includes stormwater facilities, open space and new streets
C. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS.
1 Proponent. Dan Bruno, Heritage Homes & Land Inc
2 Location The project site is located on the southeast side of Hwy 507 just south of Mill
Road The project site includes 3 parcels for a total of 15 58 acres
3 Public Notice Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Nisqually Valley News
on November 10,2000, and posted :n public areas on November 9,2000 The notice
was mailed to adjacent property owners and the applicant on November 9, 2000
4
Existinq Land Use, Zoning and Density There is currently one house on the northeast
corner of the site that is proposed to be removed and one house located on the western
corner of the site along Hwy 507 that is currently used as a commercial building The
site is zoned Low Density Residential (R-4), Chapter 1712 and C-1 Commercial
Chapter 17 26 The applicant proposes to dIvide the 15 58 acres into 60 single family
residential/ots and one, one acre commercial lot. In the R-4 District the maximum
density is four (4) units per acre As proposed the density of the project is four units per
acre
c
5
Lots Size and Setbacks. The R-4 District does not have a minimum or maximum lot size
but it does have standard yard setbacks It appears all lots can meet minimum setback
requirements
6 Adiacent Land Uses and Zoning Properties surrounding the project site are zoned R-4
and Institutional District ( Mill Pond School) Uses of the adjacent land ranges from rural
residential to low density residential and a school site
7 Open Space. Chapter 16 14 requires a minimum of five percent of the gross area be
dedicated as open space, which is 0 78 of an acre The proposed open space is
approximately 1 08 acres and will be dedicated to the City of Yelm The open space
must provide one or more of the following uses environmental interpretation or other
education, park, recreational land, or athletic fields, off-road footpaths or bicycle trails, or
any other use found by the City to further the purposes of the open space chapter
The area to be dedicated as open space is the future transportation corridor for the Y2
improvement. At such time the open space is purchased for the Y2 right-of-way the City
will either provide open space of equal value within a close proximity of the site or pay a
fee-in-lieu of which would be spent on improvements to an existing park or towards the
purchase of additional open space
o
An existing ingress/egress easement for the Yelm School District exists within the area
designated as open space and the future Y2 corridor After consultation with the school
district it was agreed to abandon the existing easement if the plat was designed so that
the internal road system would provide future access to the school district property
The applicant has not indicated at this time what improvements will be made to the open
space to meet minimum standards as stated above
8 Schools New residential units create a demand for additional school services and
facilities The Yelm School District requests that the developer enter into an agreement
with the school district for the payment of mitigation fees based on the project's impact.
This request became mitigation of the Environmental Determination
9 Transportation and Site Access. The property fronts on Hwy 507 with a small area in the
northeast corner adjacent to 104th Street. The site plan has been revised to include one
access to the residential area from Hwy 507 and provides a future connection to 104th
Street. The commercial site will have one access from Hwy 507 The commercial site
would not be accessible by automobiles from the interior of the subdivision
As discussed in the open space section above along the southern property line is an
ingress/egress easement to the school property located to the east of the project site
The School District has agreed to the relocation of the access via the proposed internal
public road (See Exhibit IV)
o
A Traffic Impact Analysis was submitted for the project which identified impacts at the site
accesses Improvements to Hwy 507 are required to address the safety impacts to Hwy
507 generated by the development. The specific improvements are required as
mitigation in the Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance issued for the project (See
Page 2 of 7
o
c
c
Exhibit III)
In addition to the improvements to Hwy 507, the completed project will increase traffic
and impact the City's transportation system Chapter 15 40, Concurrency Management,
requires all development to mitigate impacts to the City's transportation system A single
family home generates 1 01 P m peak hour trips per unit. The Transportation Facility
Charge per unit is $757 50 and payable at time of building permit.
10
Parking. Chapter 17 72, Off-Street Parking and Loading, requires a minimum parking
ratio of two spaces per unit. The developer is proposing at a minimum to provide parking
accommodations for at least two vehicles on each residential lot.
11

to the City's STEP sewer system There is an existing 6" collection line available along
the property frontage of Highway 507 The connection of the project site to the sewer line
is subject to a latecomers fee of $11,798 32.
The existing on-site structures are currently served with on-site sewage systems. The

at building permit issuance
The existing on-site structures are currently served with on-site wells The applicant is
proposing to remove the homes and abandon the wells
13
Drainage/Stormwater The completed project will increase impervious surfaces on the
site and adjacent streets Impervious surfaces create storm water runoff When
uncontrolled and untreated storm water runoff can create health and safety hazards
YMC requires all development to comply with the Stormwater Manual for the control and
treatment of stormwater runoff
The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Stormwater Report that estimates the
impervious surface, infiltration rates of the runoff, and a conceptual design for treatment

and storage of the stormwater Following preliminary plat approval the City Stormwater
Manual requires the developer to submit a final plan consistent with the final impervious
calculations for the site
Stormwater facilities require continued maintenance to ensure they remain in proper
working condition
WSDOT will only accept surface water runoff equal in quality and quantity to that of the
pre-developed site Any additional surface water runoff generated, impacting State
property, will require appropriate stormwater mitigation in accordance with the
Department of Ecology's Stormwater Management Manual
14 Fire Protection Fire protection is provided by the Thurston County Fire District #2.. As
development occurs there will be additional demands for fire service
15 Police Protection Police protection is provided by the City of Yelm As development
occurs there will be additional demands for police service

design must meet the City of Yelm's Development Guidelines and will be submitted to
Puget Sound Energy for review and approval
17
Landscaoina. Landscaping and screening are necessary to promote safety, to provide
screening between compatible land uses, to safeguard privacy and to protect the
aesthetic assets of the City Chapter 17 80, Landscaping, requires the applicant to
provide on-site landscaping for all development proposals
The site is adjacent to properties that are compatibly zoned When all adjacent properties
are zoned residential the code requires that the perimeter of the site be landscaped with a
Type II landscaping In residential subdivisions the city also allows fencing to meet the
landscaping requirements for the perimeter of the site
Landscaping is also required in the open space and above ground stormwater facilities
A preliminary landscaping plan has not been submitted at this time
Chapter 17 80 requires that at time of civil plan review and approval the applicant provide
a final landscape and irrigation plan for approval
18 Environmental Review: After review of the environmental checklist and supporting
documents, a Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance (MONS) was issued on

Re. Rezone and Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the Urban Growth Area
A, PUBLIC HEARING OBJECTIVE:
The Planning Commission must determine if the proposed rezone and comprehensive plan
amendment is consistent with the City of Yelm's Comprehensive Plan. After consideration of the
facts and public testimony the Planning Commission must take one of the following actions:
request additional information from the applicant and/or staff, continue the public hearing or make
a recommendation of action to the City Council
o
B, PROPOSAL:
Attached is the staff report for a Thurston County Board-Initiated Rezone and Comprehensive
Plan Amendment for twelve acres in the City's urban growth area. The City of Yelm
Comprehensive Plan and Joint Plan with Thurston County provides policies, goals and land use
designations for not only the City limits but those areas designated as the City's urban growth
area. When amendments to the plan occur in the urban growth area it is necessary for both the
City and Thurston County to approve the amendments through the adopted processes of each
jurisdiction.
In addition to the proposed rezone it is necessary to designate future land uses for when the
parcels annex into the City of Yelm The properties are bound by Railway Street SE, parcels in the
City limits that are zoned Moderate Density Residential (R-6) and parcels in Thurston County that
are zoned Light Industrial
For consistency with the proposed rezone and the surrounding zoning the appropriate future land
use designation would be Moderate Density Residential (R-6)
C. STAFF RECOMMENDATION,
Staff recommends approval of the proposed rezone from Light Industrial to Rural Residential and a
future land designation for the parcels to Moderate Density Residential

Summary of Proposal
RedesIgnate and rezone twelve acres (five parcels) m the Yelm Urban Growth Area (UGA) from
LIght Industnal (LI) to Rural ResIdentIal 115 (RR 115).
Issues, Analysis & Rationale
Background
ThIS proposal was ImtIated by the Board of County ComnllsslOners on March 28, 2000, based on
a request by property owner Ben Harper and hIS neIghbors to the northeast (see attached letters)
Mr Harper's parcells zoned approxImately half m LI and half m RR 1/5 Yelm staff support the
rezone but do not WIsh to lose mdustnalland. The CIty IS consldenng a future rezone of another
area wlthm CIty lImIts to an mdustnal use to make up for tills loss.
Current zoning and land use
The property lIes Just outsIde the CIty of Yelm, wlthm an LI zone that extends west to the
Burlmgton Northern Railroad tracks (approxImately ~ mile to the northeast) The subject
propertIes are surrounded on all SIdes by smgle-famIly resIdentIal uses, although homes to the
northwest across RaIlway Road and nnmedlately to the northeast are zoned LI. The area looks to
be a low densIty resIdentIal neIghborhood, although mdustnal permIts have been Issued to a few
of the nelghbonng propertIes (none of the subject propertIes)
Goals and PolIcIes
The Yelm/Thurston County Joint Plan (Jomt Plan), an mtegral part of the Thurston County
Comprehensive Plan establIshes goals and polICIes to gUIde land use deCISIons m the Yelm
UGA. Pertment sectIOns are excerpted below
YCP III-3 The land use deSIgnations shown on the Future Land Use Map (Map
#3) m the umncorporated area wIll not take effect untIl annexatIOn and mclusIOn
wIthm a sewer dIscharge permIt area.
C.2 III-4 To promote coordmated development, any land approved m thIS Jomt
Plan WIll not be umlaterally changed by eIther the CIty or the County for three
years from the date of thIS plan WIthout wntten approval from the other
JUrISdIctIOn.

Comment: The subject propertIes are zoned LI on the OfficIal Zomng Map of Thurston County
However, the property IS desIgnated on Yelm's Future Land Use Map as "Industnal," a
desIgnatIOn that wIll only be Implemented upon annexatIon by the CIty Tills mdustnal zomng IS
meant to permIt manufactunng, warehousmg, and other mdustnal type uses. UntIl the property
annexes to the CIty, the County retams zomng authonty, m cooperatIOn wIth the CIty ofYelm.
The Jomt Plan IS dated 1995, and zornng changes made now are done so m coordmatIOn wIth the

Goals related to housing
Goal 6, yep IV-9 Conserve and Improve the eXIstmg housmg stock and
neIghborhoods.
YCP IV-II Adjustments wIll be made throughout the UGA dunng penodIc reVISIOns to
the Plan where momtoring shows a Sub-Area need for change to assure that reqUIred
housmg needs contmue to be met.
Comment: The subject propertIes he wIthm the Eastern Sub-Area of the Jomt Plan. WhIle Yelm
envISIOned the area to develop for mdustnal uses, It contmues to be largely a reSIdentIal area.
However, there IS no potential for addItional housmg to be bUIlt on the propertIes once they are
rezoned.
SIte Constramts/EnvIronmental Issues
The subject propertIes each have one smgle family reSIdence on septic. The two larger parcels 0
mclude areas of pasture and some trees. The SIte IS almost eptIrely flat. A SIte VISIt revealed no
ObVIOUS cntIcal areas. There are no known flood hazards or illgh groundwater hazards that affect
the SIte.
The subject property IS located on two-lane Railway Road, a commercIal collector No major
road Improvements are slated for tills road m the near future
Issues and AnalYSIS
Although the CIty ofYelm IS concerned WIth retammg land for mdustnal uses, the City has other
parcels located close to the raIlroad that are more appropnate for thIS type of development.
Rallway Road IS a two-lane collector, and addItional traffic Impacts from mdustnal development
m thIS area could Impact the reSIdentIal neIghborhoods to the south of the subject propertIes. No
major road Improvements are planned for RaIlway Road m the near future GIven the reSIdential
nature of the subject propertIes and the deSIres ofMr Harper and hIS neIghbors to keep the
property m reSIdentIal use, It IS appropnate that thIS area be gIVen a reSIdentIal zomng
deSIgnatIOn. Upon annexatIOn to the CIty ofYelm, the City WIll have an opportumty to rezone
the parcels to a hIgher reSIdentIal denSIty, as IS planned for the surroundmg area (indIcated as R-
6 on the Future Land Use Map m the Jomt Plan)

Effects of the Change
Ifthe propertIes were rezoned to RR 1/5, the current resIdentIal uses would be made conformmg,
allowmg the owners to expand and Improve theIr homes. ThIS actIvIty would be restncted under
the LI zonmg. The three smaller parcels would stIll be of nonconformmg lot SIze, but thIS could
change If the parcels are annexed to the CIty and gIVen a hIgher densIty resIdentIal zonmg.
ThIS proposed amendment would necessItate a change to Future Land Use map, Sub-Area map,
and East Sub-Area Map m the Jomt Plan (Maps 3,9, and 10, respectIvely) In addItIon, the
change would reqUIre a redesIgnatIOn of the property on the OfficIal Zomng Map of Thurston
County
Staff Recommendation
Staff recommends approval ofthe Board-ImtIated proposal to rezone the subject property m the
Yelm UGA from hght mdustnal (LI) to rural resIdentIal 1/5 (RR 1/5)
ConclusIons/RatIOnale
Staff concludes that the redesIgnatIOn and rezone of 12 acres from LI to RR 1/5 would be a
ratIOnal actIOn for the followmg reasons
lOne of the subject parcels IS zoned halfRR 1/5 and halfLI, WIth a resIdence currently
located on the half zoned LI. ThIS zomng IS not logIcal for the owner's deSIre to keep hIS
property for resIdentIal use.
2 The subject properties are currently developed as smgle famIly resIdentIal, and no sIgmficant
additIonal development would be mduced by the rezone
3 Yelm has opportumtIes to rezone other properties close to the raIlroad lme to lIght mdustnal
to mitIgate thIS loss of lIght mdustnalland.

Dear Commissioner Oberquell:
I presently own seven acres on Railway Road~in Thurston County just outside
of Yelm.
When the Planning Commissions of Thurston County and the City of Yelm did
the zoning of this area, they divided my land approximately in half, with
one-half designated "Residential" and the other half designated "Light
Industrial." This was done without my knowledge.
I would like to have this changed, with the whole property designated "Residential."
Please let me know if there is anything further that I need to do to get
this accomplished.
Thank you.
Yours very truly,

When we purchased thlS property we bought It WIth the mtent that m the future, we might

OUf neIghbor Ben Harper mformed us that hlS land was zoned half resIdentIal and the other half

Please let us know, If there IS anythmg else we must do to have thIs zonmg changed and If

Notice of.Addendum
to the
Thurston County Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Statement
Dear Interested Party.
c
Enclosed is a list of proposed revisIOns to the Thurston County Comprehensive Plan
ADDENDUM to the Thurston County Comprehensive Plan Environmental Impact Statement.
The current Thurston County Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the Thurston County Board of
County Commissioners m April, 1995 The Comprehensive Plan reflects several mandates of the
Washington State LegIslature, the most importapt of which is the Growth Management Act
(RCW 36 70A), wInch was adopted by the legIslature in 1990. A Notice of Availability of this
Addendum was published in the Olympian on July 13, 2000
The ComprehensIve Plan IS the most fundamental planmng and policy-level document oflocal
government. It establIshes the framework that serves as gUIdance for a variety of County
actiVItIes, includmg zomng and capItal faCIlIties plans (e.g. roads, stormwater facilities, parks,
etc,). The Comprehensive Plan is also a living document. For example, as changes in the
ComprehensIve Plan are adopted by the Board of County Commissioners, zomng is also revised
to reflect those changes. Revisions to the Comprehensive Plan occur annually
Under the rules of the State EnVIronmental Policy Act (SEP A - WAC 197-11), the adoption of a
Comprehensive Plan is reVIewed as a "nonproject action." SEPA defmes nonpro]ect actIOns as
"actions which are different or broader than a single site specific project, such as plans, polices,
and programs." [197-11-774 WAC] Smce the fundamental purpose ofSEPA IS to ensure that
governmental bodies and agencIes' planning and decision making processes reflect
envIronmental values [197-11055 (I)], both the Imtial adoption of the Comprehensive Plan, and
all subsequent revisions, have undergone environmental review through the SEP A process.
Since the Comprehensive Plan affects development patterns throughout all of Thurston County,
the origmal draft was accompanied by an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS has
been reVIsed 10 conjunction with each revision to the ComprehensIve Plan. Because the current

proposed reVISIOns to the ComprehensIve Plan EIS are not expected to substantIally change the 0
analysIs of sIgmficant Impacts and alternatIves that were analyzed In the ongInal EIS, SEP A
rules authonze the use of the addendum process for these proposals [WAC 197-11-600 (4)(c)]
Please note that each of the Items that are addressed In tlus addendum are still subject to further
envlfonmental review at the tIme a specIfic project IS proposed. For example, each of the
propertIes where a rezone IS proposed would stIll be reqUIred to complete envlfonmental reVIew
at the tIme a specIfic project for that property IS proposed. The same holds true for each of the
proposals that are IdentIfied III the CapItal FacIlItIes Chapter of the ComprehensIve Plan. The
current level of envlfonmental reVIew IS very general, and IS aImed at determimng whether the
Items proposed represent a major change from the envIronmental analysis that was performed
under the ongmal Envlfonmental Impact Statement for the ComprehensIve Plan, as well as
whether the proposal are consIstent WIth the concepts of Growth Management, such as

RedesIgnate and rezone a five acre parcel in the Tumwater UGA from
"MultI-family Medmm-densIty ResIdentIal (9-15)" to "Light Industnal
(Ll)." On May 23,2000 thIS proposal was amended by the ongmal
applicant and new owners of the property; the ongmal rezone request was
for a general commercIal desIgnatIon. The subject property was purchased
by Kaufman Brothers ConstructIOn, Inc. on May 22, 2000 from the
original apphcant, Dennis Artus, and the apphcation was amended to
reflect the new owners' desire to develop a warehouse on the property
(The owners would be permItted to develop a warehouse in the Ll zone,
whereas the general commercIal zone would have requued a specIal use
permIt for this type of facIhty) The property had been rezoned in 1995
from hght mdustnal to multl-famIly medium density reSIdential. The
property owner mamtains that he has been unable to market the property
for multi-family development due to its SIze. County staff discussed this
proposal with City ofTumwater staff, who agree that a light industrial
deSIgnatIOn would be consistent With the surrounding area.

through the annexation process, had their property annexed to the City; but
now the proposed Y2N3 transportation corridor runs through the middle of the
property, and he objects to the present configuration of the Y2N3 corridor
Mr. Coyne stated he and his partner would like to either not have the corridor
on their property at all, or at least have it as far on one side of the property as
possible when it is finally adopted, rather than going through the middle
Ms. Carlson clarified for the planning commission that Mr Coyne's property
is marked on the staff report map, as "Land Area C" for potential rezone, but
the city is not looking at a rezone at his property at this time, possibly in the
future - it is something the city is working with Mr Coyne on Mr. Coyne added
he has had a preliminary meeting with the Ms Carlson and Ms Badger with
respect to a preliminary plat to bring residential units to the city, and are in the
planning stages currently
o
Mr. Gorman asked if there were any more comments from the public? Dan
Bruno stated he is the proponent for the preliminary plat application in which
the rezone would affect, and he stated that he didn't have any comments, but
he is available if the PC members have any questions regarding his
preliminary plat. Ms. Clapp asked Mr Bruno what his proposal is? Mr. Bruno
said it is a 61 home subdivision Ms. Clapp asked what Mr Bruno's plans are
for the commercial piece of property? Mr. Bruno said he doesn't have any
plans at this time Mr. Bruno also stated that he and his colleagues have
willingly worked with the City on the Y2N3 Transportation Corridor
Mr. Gorman asked if there were any further questions or comments from the
public or the PC members? Ms. Longmire asked what the plans are for the
numerous crossings at the different roads along the proposed Y2N3 corridor?
Ms. Carlson said that every road will not have access to the corridor, due to
safety issues Ms. Longmire asked why commercial trucks will not be allowed
to go down Rhoton Road? Ms. Carlson stated that even though Rhoton Road
is partly in the Industrial area, it is also residential - there will be a signal at the
Wilkensen Road intersection for the commercial vehicles Ms. Longmire then
asked about the Y2N3 corridor - why was it changed from going up Canal
Road? Ms. Carlson answered with a couple reasons Mainly it was changed
due to public impact, plus - along Canal Road, especially between Grove and
Canal - a lot of those areas are pretty well established as far as development
right at the edge of the existing right-of-way, and Y3 is a limited access road,
meaning no driveway approaches - so a frontage road would have to be built
along the new road for all those properties
Ms. Longmire asked what will be done with the Y3 corridor if Mr Coyne's
o

property is developed? Ms. Carlson said that if they weren't able to design
their plat around the corridor, to leave the corridor area open, the city would
have to approve the plat, and on the face of the plat and it would show on the
engineers drawings - that it was a future transportation corridor and it would
have to be disclosed to people, or when Mr Coyne submits a plat, it the city
can get some money to buy right-of-way we could purchase the right-of-way
from Mr Coyne at that point, but that's our problem - the city doesn't have any
money to do that, but we can't tell Mr Coyne that he can't develop his
property Mr. Coyne added that their intent would be for the city to purchase
the right-of-way now rather than later
Dr. Kent asked what would happen if the Y3 corridor were changed to skirt the
southwest edge of Mr Coyne's property? Ms. Carlson said that it starts
impacting all the properties out along the corridor, the city did look at seven
areas for just the Y3 area, and this actual alignment was the combination of
two or three The city's driving force was to not separate properties but more
importantly - not go right through existing houses and properties that people
are living on Unfortunately, Mr Coyne's property was one of the very few
that the corridor bisects
o
Mr. Gorman stated that there is a part of public input process that has involved
this whole road alignment, but there doesn't seem to be a way to go back and
look at that now Ms. Carlson said there is some flexibility, but not really
enough to make a huge difference Mr. Gorman said the city has to set a
precedence too Ms. Carlson agreed, stating the city wants to be able to help
everyone, but there is a limit and a lot of it is going to depend on when the city
gets the money to do the design, and what is built out between now and then
Ms. Clapp asked about the land use paragraphs on page 5 of the staff report,
in the second paragraph where it says "some may be more appropriately
zoned commercial or industrial" - could it say somewhere in those paragraphs
something to make sure that there is no one who is surprised when they
purchase property and then find out that they can't turn it into commercial?
Ms. Carlson stated that this staff report is actually a synopsis of the
Environmental Assessment (E.A.) document, but before this goes to city
council she will amend this staff report to include the additional language out
of the E.A.
Mr. Gorman asked if there were any more questions or comments? None

zoned as High Density Residential (R-14) All other properties in the area are
zoned C-1 Commercial District. Uses in the vicinity are primarily residential and
undeveloped land
7 Transportation and Site Access. The property fronts on Killion Road which is the
only access to the site Killion Road is designated a pedestrian oriented street in
the Design Guidelines For pedestrian oriented streets the frontage improvements
are modified from a Commercial Collector so that the planter strip and sidewalk are
combined to create a 12' sidewalk with tree grates for the street trees
The completed project will increase traffic and impact the City's transportation
system Chapter 15 40, Concurrency Management, requires all development to
mitigate impacts to the City transportation system A residential care facility
generates 0 17 P m peak hour trips per dwelling unit. The Transportation Facility

House provides a van to transport residents to and from activities, appointments,
etc. which meets the intent for parking stall reduction
With a 25% reduction the project is required to provide a minimum of 21 stalls. The
project proponent is proposing 22 stalls which include two (2) handicapped stalls
As shown on the site plan the loading area is proposed at the front of the building.
This area would provide loading for residents, visitors and goods Loading areas

2000 AMENDMENTS TO CITY OF YELM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND JOINT PLAN WITH THURSTON
COUNTY ADDENDUM TO FEIS
o
PROPOSED ACTIONS
A. ADOPTION OF THE SPECIFIC Y2N3 TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR
The City ofYelm developed a TransportatIon Plan m 1992, subsequently amended m 1995 and
1997, to meet the reqUIrements of the Growth Management Act and estabhsh a plannmg document
to assIst the City m developmg a good, efficIent.transportatIOn system.
The 1992 Transportation Plan assessed alternatIves for potentIal solutIons to ItS transportation
problems throughout the CIty and ItS urban growth area, in partIcular the congestIOn and faihng
levels of servIce along Y elm Ave (SR 510 and SR 507) As a result the Y2N3 alternatIve route of
the urban core was selected as the preferred alternatIve for thIS specIfic transportatIOn problem. The
locatIOn of the Y2N3 comdor was adopted m a conceptual locatIOn in the CIty ofYelm
Transportation Plan.
In 1997, the CIty receIved a transportatIOn grant to conduct a TransportatIon Corridor Study for the
Y2 corridor In late 1997, the Thurston RegIOnal Plannmg Council approved an expanSIOn of the
TransportatIOn Corridor Study to include the Y3 comdor A product of the study was an
envIronmental assessment that evaluated the alternatIves for the Y2N3 locatIOns. The Y2N3 0
Comdor EnVIronmental Assessment was Issued a Fmdmg of No SIgmficant Impact by the Federal
Highway AdmmIstratIon on February 1,2000 The City Council approved the preferred alternatIve
of the Y2N3 EnVIronmental Assessment March 8, 2000, Resolution No 398
GIVen that the locatIon of the Y2N3 TransportatIon Comdor does not pose new probable sIgmficant
adverse envIronmental Impacts, thIS Addendum IS adequate for the purposes of analYSIS aSSOCiated
WIth the proposed amendment.
B. AMENDMENT TO THE LAND USE MAP TO REFLECT A REZONE FROM LOW
DENSITY RESIDENTIAL TO COMMERCIAL.
The Rezone and ComprehenSIve Plan Amendment for Parcel No 21725120100 IS City sponsored.
In the Y2N3 EnVIronmental Assessment land use along the comdor was analyzed for compatibIhty
WIth eXIstmg zonmg, future zomng deSIgnatIOns and the potentIal Impacts from the transportatIOn
comdor As a result three areas were IdentIfied as areas in whIch secondary Impacts could occur
WIth the adoptIOn of the Y2N3 comdor The CIty had scheduled the reVIew and analYSIS of those
Impacts to the three IdentIfied areas III 2001 and planned to recommend amendments to the 2001
ComprehenSIve Plan Amendments. However, one of the three SItes IS currently bemg reVIewed by
the City for a prehmmary plat. In order to preserve the transportatIOn comdor on the SIte and to
ensure land use compatibihty the CIty has InItIated the rezone of the SIte.

2000 AMENDMENTS TO CITY OF YELM COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND JOINT PLAN WITH THURSTON
COUNTY ADDENDUM TO FEIS
The subject SIte encompasses the Y2 transportatIon comdor, mcludmg the comdor termmus, along
ItS southwesterly boundary The locatIOn of the future comdor termmus IS currently a non-
conformmg commerCIal use (grand fathered) m a Low DensIty ResIdentIal Zone. While the subject
SIte IS approXImately eIght acres, the proposed rezone to commercial IS for one acre only The acre
would be confined to the area adjacent to the comdor termmus.
GIven that the amendment to the Land Use Map and ComprehensIve Plan do not pose new probable
sIgmficant adverse envlfonmentalImpacts, thIS Addendum IS adequate for the purposes of analYSIS
associated wIth the proposed amendment.
c. AMENDMENTS TO THE TABLE OF CONTENTS AND TEXT
1. TABLE OF CONTENTS
Three amendments to the ComprehensIve Plan Table of Contents are proposed. The first
amendment to the Table of Contents IS to add "or as amended in the future" to the ExhibIts,
AppendIces and/or Reference Documents of the Comprehensive Plan. ExhibIts, AppendIces and
Reference Documents to the ComprehensIve Plan are charactenstIcally mdependent documents
WhICh are amended from tIme to tIme outSIde of the comprehensIve plan amendment process.
AdoptIOn of any amendments to these plans are by CIty Council Resolution and must demonstrate
compliance WIth the goals and polICIes of the ComprehenSIve Plan. If such plan or document
amendment proposes any change(s) to polICIes or goals of the comprehenSIve plan, then the
amendment would be processed as a comprehenSIve plan amendment.
The second amendment to the ComprehenSIve Plan Table of Contents IS to remove maps wInch are
a component of a plan or document lIsted m the AppendIces or the Reference Documents.
Therefore, when an AppendIces and/or Reference Document, m whIch a map IS a component, are
amended it will not reqUIre a ComprehenSIve Plan Amendment unless there are proposed changes to
the polICIes and/or goals of the ComprehenSIve Plan. The maps whIch will be removed from the
comprehenSIve plan but will remam a component of an AppendIces and/or Reference Document
are: TransportatIOn Route and ClaSSIfication Map, ComprehenSIve TransportatIon Plan, Sewer
ServIce Area, Water ServIce Area, Traffic AnalYSIS Zones (T AZ) and Zoning.
The thIrd amendment to the Table of Contents IS to mclude a preface sectIon, tItled Adopted
Amendments to the ComprehenSIve Plan m Chronology Order, whIch will mclude a summary and
date for each amendment to the ComprehenSIve Plan. WhIle all amendments that affect the body of
the ComprehenSIve Plan will be mcorporated mto the document at the tIme of adoptIon, the addItIon
of thIS sectIon will be helpful to CItIzens, elected offiCIals and plan admInIstrators to understand the
progreSSIon of the ComprehenSIve Plan.

Amendment to the City of Yelm 1995 Comprehensive Plan and Joint Plan with Thurston County
(Summary of Proposal, Issues, Analysis, Rationale, Summary of Recommendations, and Maps)
SUMMARY OF PROPOSAL
Provide an update to the City of Yelm 1997 CQmprehensive Transportation Plan & Transportation
component (Chapter VI) of the 1995 Comprehensive Plan & Joint Plan with Thurston County
The transportation plan update incorporates the corridor plan for the Y2fY3 Corridor with all
existing documentation, including the Environmental Assessment and the specific corridor route
location based on the Environmental Assessment.
ISSUES, ANALYSIS & RATIONALE
BackQround
The City of Yelm developed a Transportation Plan in 1992 to meet the requirements of the
Growth Management Act and establish a planning document to assist the City in developing an 0
good, efficient transportation system The plan was amended in 1995 and 1997 to reflect minor
modifications to the 1992 plan
By the late 1980's, traffic on Yelm Avenue had become so congested the Yelm City Council
began seeking ways to identify potential solutions to its transportation problems. The limited
capacity of Yelm Avenue (SR 510) and First Street (SR 507), the city's only route for regional and
local traffic passing through town, had led to failing levels of service (LOS) during peak hours and
created long delays and unsafe conditions.
LOS is used to describe the operating conditions of a roadway or intersection and is evaluated on
a range between A and F, LOS A representing free-flow conditions and LOS F constituting stop-
and-go congestion The city adopted LOS D as its standard for peak traffic periods in all
commercial and industrial areas, including Yelm Avenue, and LOS C for residential streets.
Currently, several segments of Yelm Avenue and intersecting roadways operate below the
established minimum LOS, at times dropping to LOS E or F during morning and evening peak
periods
o
o
The city looked at the option of widening the existing roadways to improve the LOS on Yelm
Avenue, but this was determined to be an undesirable alternative Traffic studies indicated that
by 2020 any traffic flow benefits achieved by widening Yelm Avenue SR 510 and 507 would be
diminished and the congestion problems would fall to at or below today's conditions. Even with
the widening, the LOS on Yelm Avenue by 2020 would be poor (LOS E) The Council was also
committed to protecting and enhancing the historic character of the downtown and wanted to
prevent it from becoming a strip development without character or continuity Widening the
existing corridor would require displacing 5 dwellings and 5 businesses, including the historic
Wolf Building Additionally, between 50 and 65 businesses lose some parking and have street
access modified. The Transportation Plan developed in 1992 identified new roadway facilities to
provide relief to Yelm Avenue, as well as other needed improvements. These improvements
were designated Y1 through Y12
The Y21Y3 plan addressed a potential option for an alternative route to bypass the urban core as
a solution to congestion on Yelm Avenue Traffic from the south and east heading towards
Olympia, and vice versa, would bypass the core via a new road corridor This would free Yelm
Avenue/First St. to serve primarily local traffic.
o
The Y2 facility (identified as SR 507/Five-Corners connector in the Comprehensive Plan) is
intended to provide a southerly route that links the southwest and southeast areas of the
community Traffic travelling north on SR 507 toward Pierce County would no longer be
channeled into the Yelm Avenue/First Street intersection but would instead be routed around the
city to the south During the course of the Y2 Corridor Study, it became apparent that Y2 alone
would not reduce the congestion levels on Yelm Avenue to meet the city's LOS standard In
order to thoroughly address the traffic problems on SR 507 and SR 510, it is also necessary to
include the northern portion of the loop known as Y3 The project identified in the Transportation
Plan as Y3 would provide a northern route around the city Neither Y2 nor Y3 alone can reduce
current and future traffic congestion on Yelm Avenue, and therefore they are inter-dependent. In
1997, the Thurston Regional Planning Council approved moving forward with the project under a
combined Y21Y3 corridor study
Goals and Policies
The purpose of this project is to satisfy the policies, goals, and objectives of the City of Yelm and
Thurston County Joint Comprehensive Plan by providing appropriate and functional
transportation facilities to reduce congestion, improve freight mobility, safety, and improve traffic
circulation in and around the City of Yelm on SR 507 and SR 510 Additionally, the plan
o
2
designates a specific location for the Y21Y3 corridor to replace the conceptual location included in
previous transportation plans. 0
Alternatives
Twelve alternatives were considered for potential routes for Y2 and seven for Y3, including a no-
build alternative. Each alternative was evaluated based on environmental and transportation
criteria
The No Build Alternative would preserve the existing SR 510 and SR 507 as a single lane in each
direction, with left turn lanes at intersections WRere needed. Other designated "Y" project
improvements included in the Yelm Transportation Plan would be made as funding becomes
.available Transportation System Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management
(TOM) strategies would be implemented to make the existing corridor as efficient as possible
without increasing capacity
The preferred alternative for the Y21Y3 Corridor is a 6 4 mile three-lane highway designed to
meet state highway standards adopted by WSDOT, with one through lane in each direction and a
left-turn lane where needed The Y2 alignment begins approximately 1500 feet north of George
Road off SR 507, runs along the base of Foxhill easterly toward Vancil Road where it turns
northeasterly crossing Morse Road, Yelm Creek, and Bald Hills Road. It then turns northward 0
creating a new intersection with SR 507 east of Grove Road. From SR 507, the Y3 alignment
runs northerly crossing 103rd Avenue SE, Canal Road, and Flume Road At Railway Road, the
alignment runs northwesterly, crossing over the Chehalis Western Railroad and running south of
and parallel to the Centralia Power Canal, crossing Wilkenson Road, Canal Road, Rhoton,
Crystal Springs, Cullens, Killion, Mountain View and Burnett Roads before creating a new
intersection with SR 510 near Mud Run Road
Environmental Issues
Air Quality
Under the no-build scenario, traffic conditions are expected to worsen to LOS F in the year 2020,
resulting in a local air quality problem caused by delays and resulting concentration of fumes from
idling vehicles With the corridor, in the year 2020, all intersections and roadways are expected
to operate at LOS C or better As a result, the air quality would continue to be within the
established standards
o
3
c
Noise
The noise analysis conducted for the project involved measuring existing noise at various
locations along the corridor, verifying existing noise levels, and predicting traffic noise levels for
the design year 2020 No traffic noise impacts directly associated with the Y2 corridor were
identified, and therefore no noise mitigation is recommended for this segment of the project.
Potential impacts were identified at 64 residences along the proposed Y3 corridor, with the
majority due to use of WSDOT substantial increase criteria of 10 dBA or greater Noise levels at
some receptors along Yelm Avenue and First Avenue would decrease due to traffic being
diverted onto the new corridor A noise barrier is proposed from Crystal Springs Road NW to
Rhoton Road NW, near the Kingsview residentjal community None of the unmitigated receptors
adjacent to the corridor approached or exceeded FHWA's noise abatement criteria. Installation of
a noise barrier at the above-mentioned location and adoption of regulations requiring noise
mitigation measures to be integrated into future noise sensitive developments adjacent to the
corridor will keep impacts to a minimum. Additionally, other design measures, such as a
depressed roadway, are incorporated into the project wherever feasible
c
Energy
Long range energy usage will be reduced as a result of the alternative travel routes available The
new corridor, with its improved LOS, will decrease the miles traveled while adding to the
efficiency of the roadway system throughout Yelm.
Geology and Soils
Erosion of soils would be minimal due to the relatively flat terrain and low cut and fill slopes along
the new roadway alignment. Best Management Practices included in the WSDOT Highway
Runoff Manual would be used to minimize soil and erosion impacts.
Waterways and Hydrological Systems
Yelm Creek would be bridged at two locations. No piers would be located within the Ordinary
High Water Mark for either crossing No floodplain storage will be lost due to fill for the roadway
or bridge approaches
o
Water Quality
The Yelm Creek watershed is roughly 7% impervious under existing conditions The project
would represent about a 5% increase in impervious surface in the immediate project vicinity, but
only 0 3% of the Yelm Creek watershed Impacts to water quality will be avoided or minimized by
incorporating mitigation measures into project design utilizing the provisions of the City of Yelm
Drainage and Erosion Control Manual
4
Wetlands, Fisheries, Wildlife and Vegetation 0
Wetlands will be crossed at three locations, two along the Y2 route and one along the Y3 route
A small amount of fill will be necessary at only one wetland site The other two wetland crossings
will be on bridges With compensatory mitigation in the vicinity, impacts will be negligible. Yelm
Creek is crossed in two locations, but the only direct"impact to the stream will be shading of a
small portion of stream bed Four oak woodlands are along the proposed Y2/Y3 corridor
Impacts to the oak woodlands will be minimized by preserving oaks within the right-of-way where
possible and replanting oaks contiguous to mature stands near the north crossing of Yelm Creek.
Impact on fisheries will be avoided or minimized by treating and infiltrating stormwater runoff
There would be no impact to endangered or threatened plant or animal species
Land Use
The planned corridor would be located within the Yelm Urban Growth Area and will require
approximately 95 acres of land With over 1600 acres of land planned for development, no land
or housing shortages are anticipated to occur as a result of this project.
There are three points along the corridor where land uses may be more appropriately zoned
commercial or industrial to blend into contiguous land uses identified in the Comprehensive Plan
These areas are the intersection of State Route 507 and Y2, at the southwestern terminus of the 0
corridor; a triangular area between Morris Road and Bald Hill Road, north of the Y2 corridor; and
an area northwest of Burtington Northern Railroad line to Canal Road, south of the Y3 corridor
All other areas are appropriately zoned
Farmlands
The Y2/Y3 corridor will be located in the rural areas just outside the current city limits of Yelm.
There is no prime and unique farmland within the corridor Two poultry-raising barns would be
displaced
Social Elements
Impacts to school property include acquisition of approximately 3 acres of a total of 32 acres of
set-aside property at the Mill Pond Intermediate School site This land is needed for future
expansion, including the addition of a second school and related facilities. Mitigation measures
for impacts to the school property will be included in an agreement with the Yelm School District.
Fire and police personnel have indicated that the new route will decrease response time to
service calls
o
5
c
Relocation
A total of 17 residences will be displaced by the corridor Several manufactured homes can be
relocated on the existing properties. Sufficient affordable and safe replacement housing exists in
the Yelm area marketplace. The only commercial displacement would be removal of one of the
six Foster Farms poultry-raising structures
Economic Elements
The proposed corridor will impact four businesses' Foster Farms Poultry, Stiebrs Farms,
Cattleman's Livestock Auction, and EI Patio Restaurant. The northwest corner of the Stiebrs
property will be crossed by the corridor, and approximately 2.4 acres of land will need to be
acquired Approximately 2 4 acres along the western side of the Cattleman auction yard and
restaurant will also need to be acquired. One poultry building will need to be removed.
Disruptive impacts to businesses would have a minor impact on the overall Yelm area economy
c
Cultural Resources
Initially, 24 potential-historic structures were identified as directly or indirectly affected by the
proposed project. These resources were reviewed and evaluated by the Washington State
Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, who determined that none of the structures
retained sufficient original fabric or architectural integrity for designation. One historic isolated
artifact, a square nail, was found in the vicinity of the corridor during the archaeological survey,
but is not eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Two hunter-fisher-
gatherer isolated artifact sites were identified and determined by the State Historic Preservation
Office to not be eligible for listing in the NRHP One historic site (34-102) located near Yelm
Creek in the vicinity of Bald Hills Road, approximately 98 4 feet north of the Y21Y3 Corridor right-
of-way, may be eligible for the NRHP It consists of a fine-grained pebble aggregate foundation,
a large ditch feature, a historic plow, a wood feed trough, and extensive historic artifact surface
scatter Both the hunter-fisher-gatherer site and historic site 34-102 would be avoided by the
Preferred Alternative
Hazardous Waste
There are no known hazardous waste sites affected by the project. It is anticipated that asbestos
and underground storage tanks may be encountered in the displacement of the 17 residential
structures, many of which are 30 to 50 years old. Heating oil tanks would be removed when
found, and asbestos would be removed following Olympia Air Pollution Control Authority or
appropriate agencies' criteria.
o
6
Visual Quality
With the proposed corridor being on new alignment, visual quality will be altered The view
toward the corridor will lose some of its intactness and unity The view from the corridor will
provide new views to special features, such as Mount Rainier and Oak Woodlands Significant
impacts will be avoided by blending the design of the roadway into existing topography,
preserving existing significant views, and strategic revegetation of the roadside
o
Effects of the ChanQe
A goal of the City of Yelm Comprehensive Plan and Joint Plan with Thurston County is a series of
connected arterials which would permit througt.l traffic to bypass the urban core in order to reduce
congestion The Yelm Comprehensive Transportation Plan makes initial recommendations for
potential route locations in relation to existing neighborhoods and sensitive areas The Y2/Y3
Corridor plan is consistent with goals in the comprehensive plan Adoption of the Y2IY3 corridor
plan and supporting documentation will designate a specific location for the Y2 and Y3 segments
of the system improvements and will satisfy the policies, goals and objectives of the City of Yelm
and Thurston County Joint Comprehensive Plan
Conc lusio ns/Rationale
Because the Y2/Y3 Corridor has been issued a Finding of No Significant Impact by the Federal
Highways Administration and been adopted by the Yelm City Council, it is necessary to amend
the 1995 Comprehensive Plan and Joint Plan with Thurston County The Y21Y3 corridor plan
satisfies the policies, goals and objectives of the City of Yelm and Thurston County Joint
Comprehensive Plan by providing appropriate and functional transportation facilities to reduce
congestion, improve freight mobility, safety, and improve traffic circulation through the City of
Yelm on SR 507 and SR 510 A specific corridor route is designated to replace the conceptual
location included in previous plans

It would appear that all the purchasers of the Huntington Green development
assumed that the road would not ever go through, from the testimony received -
and therefore the homeowners purchased their homes with the intent that the
road was a dead end road, or cul-de-sac - and they purchased for the price they
did based on this fact. MOTION CARRIED. E.J. CURRY AND BOB 150M
ABSTAINED.

APPROVE THE MINUTES OF JULY 17, 2000 MOTION CARRIED.
Public Communications' There were none
Continuation of Public Hearing - SUB-OO-8251-YL, Huntington Green II
Preliminary Plat. Applicant. Dick Boness Proposal This proposal is to
subdivide 3.26 acres into 13 single family residential lots Project location.
The location is on the west side of Crystal Springs Road just north of the
existing Huntington Green Subdivision Tom Gorman stated that the public
testimony portion of the original public hearing was closed on July 17, 2000,
but he will re-open it for anyone who has new testimony/issues Mr. Gorman
re-opened the public hearing at 4 03 p m Mr. Gorman then asked if anyone
had any new testimony, issues or concerns? Larry Mellema, 1209 Crystal
Springs Street, Yelm - said he wrote a letter dated July 22, 2000 to Cathie
Carlson - stating his concerns on this project. Mr. Mellema asked if the
Planning Commission (PC) has a copy of his letter? Cathie Carlson answered,
no the PC doesn't have a copy, because the public comment period was
closed at the last meeting Mr. Mellema then asked if he could submit the
letter to the Planning Commission now? Mr. Gorman asked if there are any
new issues in the letter? Mr. Mellema said yes there are many inaccurate
statements he has addressed in his letter including the location of his well, and
the zoning of his property Mr. Gorman stated the issues Mr Mellema is
presenting sound somewhat technical in nature, and he urged Mr Mellema to
discuss these issues with city staff Mr. Mellema said he feels that his
concerns are valid, and should be addressed today Mr. Gorman apologized
and said that he didn't mean to "downplay" Mr Mellema's concerns, and then
he asked Cathie Carlson how last minute issues are handled? Ms. Carlson
stated that a majority of Mr Mellema's concerns were addressed prior to the
public hearing, an engineer was called out to the site, etc

Mr. Gorman reiterated that Mr Mellema has concerns regarding the accuracy
of the staff recommendation, and suggested city staff meet with the Mellema's
to address his concerns
Mr. Gorman asked if there was anyone else who wished to speak? Ed
Rhodes, 15629 92nd Way SE, Yelm - talked about the fact that the preliminary
plat approval was approved November of 1991, not in August of 1992 Mr.
Rhodes then showed on the whiteboard his ideas/suggestions for the
proposed streets Mr. Gorman asked if anyone else was signed up to speak?
None Mr. Gorman closed the public testimony period at 4 15 pm, and then
stated he would like to make sure the Planning Commission (PC) members
understand everything, including the staff recommendation Mr. Gorman
asked Ms Carlson to give an updated staff report. Ms. Carlson started by
saying that Mr Rhodes was correct on the actual date of approval on the
preliminary plat, it was approved in December of 1991, with the civil drawings
being done in 1992, and the final approval in 1994 Ms. Carlson stated that
from the staffs perspective - they are charged with implementing the rules and
the regulations that the City Council has approved There have been times
when staff has recommended variations of the rules and regulations based on
facts and findings Ms. Carlson stated she and the other staff have empathy
for this situation, but they have to look at it from a city wide system and what
the City Council has asked the staff to do, in implementing those rules
Although, the issues which were raised on this project, were valid concerns -
there wasn't anything substantial - the traffic engineer Ms Carlson spoke to
said that he couldn't quantify the additional traffic which will occur from the
opening of the street. Ms. Carlson stated that in all her research, there wasn't
anything to give her a reason to recommend a deviation from the City's
adopted set of standards As a staff member, they have to be ready to treat
any person who comes in, (regardless of who they are, a homeowner, a
developer, or a local business person) the same The rules have to be applied
in an equitable fashion to everyone If staff is going to pick and choose which
rules and regulations they make people adhere to, then they aren't doing their
job, and legally they could be challenged Ms. Carlson said this is why the staff
recommendation is the way it is She added, it is the Planning Commission's
(PC) prerogative to recommend something different to the City Council, if they
see it differently Or the PC could go forward with the staff recommendation,
and the City Council has the prerogative to make a change Ms. Carlson said
that she recognizes that every neighborhood would love to be a cul-de-sac, but
ifthe City lets that happen - then there is no transportation system, and the City
is responsible for a good transportation system Sometimes it works out to be
more beneficial to some, and not others Ms. Carlson stated that she felt she
had to explain this because she didn't want everyone thinking that she wasn't
listening to their concerns

Mr. Gorman asked Ms Carlson to read aloud the staff recommendation for
clarification Ms Carlson did so Mr. Gorman asked if there were any
questions or comments from any of the PC members? Roberta Longmire
stated that in both the first and the second staff report, and again here today,
the Planner has said that it will not increase the traffic because everyone will
go out to Crystal Springs Road - if that is true, then she feels that there is no
advantage to connect this cul-de-sac to another road Ms. Longmire said her
second comment is about the manufactured housing statement, about the
County Assessor's comments regarding what is around the house, but when
a certified appraiser is brought out to make an appraisal - the appraiser takes
photographs of what is up the road, and down the road from the subject
property, and it greatly affects the value of people's homes Also, Ms.
Longmire said that on Map tf2 in the new staff report, a connection is shown
similar to the one that Mr Rhodes drew today (on the whiteboard) - this could
be done leaving this a cul-de-sac, and when people buy into the new
subdivision, it will say on the plat that the streets will eventually connect, and
there would be no argument. Ms. Longmire stated that the people in
Huntington Green now, bought their homes with a cul-de-sac - they were told
it was a cul-de-sac, it shows as a cul-de-sac on the plat, there is no place on
there that shows it is going to connect in the future, therefore they have a right
to continue to have it as a cul-de-sac
c
Margaret Clapp said she doesn't think it is for them to tell a developer what to
do, but she thinks the water lines must connect, whether the road does or not.
Ms. Clapp also stated that she disagrees with Ms Longmire, and she feels that
Huntington Green has a beautiful development and the homeowners should
be proud of it. While she supports staffs recommendation based on adopted
policies, she feels that this would be one situation in which she could support
an exception to the connecting street requirement.
John Thomson asked if the Huntington Green development wanted to become
a gated community, would they have to purchase back the streets from the
city? Or, could a gate be put there, and only be used for emergency access?
Ms. Carlson stated that this is not something that they would advocate for in
every residential subdivision, once something like this is allowed then the City
would have to make sure they had findings of "why it is unusual, and why it
should be allowed in the subdivision, and then why it is not going to be allowed
in the future" This is something she would have to look into
c
Ray Kent said he thinks that putting in the round-about would be a splendid
idea, and he doesn't feel there would be a lot more traffic Mr. Gorman asked
ifthere were any further questions or comments from the PC members? None
Mr. Gorman then reopened the public testimony portion of the meeting at 4 30
pm, for those who arrived late

Virginia Tompkin stated that she is fairly new to the Huntington Green 0
development, and she did not know anything about the proposed street going
through Ms. Tompkin also stated that she doesn't see how there won't be
more traffic going through
Larry Coniff, Attorney at Law, representing Huntington Green Community
Association, asked if his supporting comments and some photos could be
accepted as points of record? Mr. Gorman said yes, but Mr Coniff has five
minutes to do so Mr. Coniff pointed out that the studies are not identified,
there is no basis for determining comparability, there is no showing that studies
have been made in areas that would be considered to be relevant to the
problems presented The unidentified studies in general are not of sufficient
basis to support a conclusion that there will be little if any increase in traffic due
to the construction of the second vehicular access The basis forthe vehicular
access and staff's view is based upon two things - 1) it says, a policy was in
place when Huntington Green Plat was approved, and 2) it says, the
ordinances require it, and a third point is emergency vehicle access Mr. Coniff
restated the fact that the preliminary plat for Huntington Green was approved
in December 1991, before the transportation policy was adopted in 1992
Under the vested rights doctorate, a development has the right to rely upon
that particular preliminary plat and the law and policies that are in place at that
time, therefore staff's first point is simply wrong, and the second point is based
on these alleged violations of city ordinances - and the city ordinances which 0
they rely on are really very interesting One of the ordinances says a 13 unit
plat, exceeds the 25 unit requirement for the second vehicular access point.
This can only be done by adding in the 31 lots of Huntington Green, and
Huntington Green has al ready been approved, moreover another section of the
ordinance that is cited - says that the Planning Commission and the City
Council are only to consider the lots that are applied for, not prior approved
lots The next point Mr. Coniff spoke about, is about emergency vehicles - that
city staff has ignored the comments of a police officer for the City ofTenino and
a Washington State Patrol officer who live within Huntington Green, and have
many years of experience in addressing emergencies and seeing all kinds of
emergency vehicles in operation Mr. Coniff stated that no one knows if city
staff called someone at Fire District #2. and CapCom, and said, ''wouldn't it be
better to have this rather than that?" The answer was yes, which is the answer
that city staff wanted Mr. Coniff said that no one knows which questions were
really asked, if the people were even familiar with the Yelm policies? Mr.
Coniff went on to say that he feels the emergency vehicle issue is nothing
more than an albatross, it is not a real issue On the basis of unidentified
people speaking over the telephone in answer to unknown questions is not in
fact sufficient factual basis upon this to make a finding that in fact emergency
vehicles would be impaired in some manner in terms of performing those
services but for the construction of a second access

Mr. Conifftalked about the children's issue - the attractiveness of the park, and
the misuse of the park by unauthorized families in adjacent parcels has not
been addressed The issue of investments by the community in the park has
not been addressed The issues of diminished property values has not been
addressed, except in general by Ms Longmire, and he would agree with Ms
Longmire Mr. Coniff went over the dimensions of the lots, and the issue of
possible manufactured homes that could go into this new subdivision Mr.
Coniff implied that the city staff and Planning Commission are not familiar with
"Chapter 17 53-Mobile/Manufactured Homes," of the City of Yelm Municipal
Code, and he urged them to read it. Mr. Coniffthen asked if he could have Pat
take everyone on a guided tour of Huntington Green with some enlarged
photographs of the existing subdivision, its playground area, and also some
photographs of an existing mobile home/manufactured housing subdivision in
Yelm, which they do not wish to have next to them
Mr. Gorman closed the public testimony portion of the public meeting at 4 45
pm, then asked if there were further questions/comments from any of the PC
members? Mr. Thomson said - in the initial meeting for Huntington Green
(1991) - it was emphasized that there would be an extension through this
property, and he can't find it anywhere in the minutes - that this would be a
temporary cul-de-sac and there would be an egress put through
c
Ms. Carlson said she also read through the minutes and she had called Eddie
True the Land Surveyor, and also the original property owner, John
Huddleston - and he (Mr Huddleston) said that it was designed that way (to
connect through) because he was going to purchase the adjacent property and
develop it, but that never worked out. The point is, when it was designed and
then approved by the City, it was with the future intent that it was going to be
developed Mr. Thomson asked if Mr Huddleston's design to extend was a
design to make that development larger, with the same type of homes Shelly
Badger and Ms. Carlson both said yes, that was Mr Huddleston's original plan
Bob Isom stated that it doesn't matter, it was approved the way it was
approved - regardless of what anyone's intentions were
c
Ms. Clapp asked Ms Carlson - if one were to offer a motion to make an
exception, does that make it hard for city staff - as far as many people coming
forward etc Ms. Carlson said if a motion is made to deviate from the
standards, then the motion must state some facts and/or findings (i e one
believes that there will be a significant increase in traffic which will be
detrimental to their neighborhood, that home values will decrease etc ) there
has to be some factual reasons why one would make the change, and deviate
from the city standards Ms. Badger added that any final plats that the city
deals with now - it is being noted on the face of the final plat - '~his will be a
connecting-through street."

Ms. Carlson added that the City of Olympia has the same problem, so they
have signs made which are posted at the end of a cul-de-sac, and it is also 0
printed on the preliminary plat that the street will eventually become a through
street.
Ms. Clapp asked about fire, egress - emergency type issues, do all the
neighbors have to sign-off saying that they support abandoning any thought of
a connection, in case someone makes an argument that it would be safer to
have a two-way access? Ms. Carlson said she didn't think so Ms. Longmire
stated that the city should stand on their word, when they have done
something, or approved something in the past - they should not try to change
it on the people in the future The people in the city should have the right to be
able to depend upon their government.
E.J. Curry asked how many preliminary plats have been approved since 1994
that could potentially come about as an issue? Ms. Carlson stated that Prairie
Heights III had this situation, the first leg was built and it was not put on the
face of the plat that it was to be a future road The road was put through, and
there weren't any concerns Ms. Carlson said that the one that was just
approved off of Cullens Road is the only one - and it will say on the face of the
plat that it will be a through road
Mr. Gorman said the Planning Commission has three options to proceed with,
and then he listed the options Mr. Gorman then called for a motion
o
00-12 MOTION BY ROBERTA LONGMIRE, TO FORWARD A RECOMMENDATION
FOR APPROVAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL, ON SUB-00-8251-YL-
HUNTINGTON GREEN-PRELIMINARY PLAT, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF
LEAVING THE CUL-DE-SAC IN HUNTINGTON GREEN AS IT IS, WITH ALL
OTHER CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL TO STAND IN PLACE There was
discussion Mr. Gorman asked Ms Longmire if she could add to the motion
that Mr Mellema's concerns will be addressed by city staff? Ms. Longmire
said yes Ms. Clapp offered an amendment to the motion - that the reason for
making the exception on the cul-de-sac is due to the concerns of the
Huntington Green homeowners that their property values will decrease and
also increased traffic concerns Mr. Gorman asked for a second to the original
motion before there was discussion SECONDED BY RAY KENT. Mr.
Thomson stated it might be easier if the motion stated that it would appear that
all the purchasers of the Huntington Green development assumed that the
road would not ever go through, from the testimony received - and therefore
the homeowners purchased their homes with the intent that the road was a
dead end road, or cul-de-sac - and they purchased for the price they did based
on this fact. Mr. Thomson also stated that it appears from the testimony given -
that no one came forward and believed that the road would ever be extended

Ms. Badger stated that in her opinion Mr Thomson's statement is a better
"finding" - because the previous reasons which were stated earlier, anyone in
the future could come in and use (decreased property value etc.) Mr. Gorman
asked Ms Carlson if the findings of fact should be part of the motion? Ms.
Carlson said yes Mr. Gorman asked Mr Thomson if he is repressing a
modification to the motion to include those findings offact? Mr. Thomson said
yes, in other words that is the reason to leave the cul-de-sac the way it exists,
because everyone who purchased their property, at that time they truly
believed that the road was a dead end road, and they purchased because of
that. It appears unanimous that every homeowner there assumed this Mr.
Gorman stated that there is a motion on the table, it has been seconded, to
recommend approval by the city council, with the exception of leaving the cul-
de-sac as it is - with the findings of fact which justify the reason for the
recommended variation from the staff recommendation MOTION CARRIED.
BOB 150M ABSTAINED
Applicant, Dick Boness asked that since Huntington Green was not going to
be connected, could he revise his site plan and not provide a connection to the
North? Ms. Longmire responded that he would definitely have to provide a
connection
Mr. Gorman then asked Ms Carlson when will the City Council review this?
Ms. Carlson said at the August 23, 2000 city council meeting, at 7 30 P m
Other Ms. Carlson stated that the next Planning Commission meeting
(August 21) will be canceled due to lack of business, and the September 4
meeting will be canceled because it is a holiday (Labor Day) The next
regularly scheduled meeting will be held on Monday, September 18, 2000
Ms. Carlson explained the planning department and public works department
reorganization, to take effect sometime between January - March 2001
Meeting adjourned at 5 05 P m

SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
INTRODUCTION
12
The Huntington Green Community Association and Mr. and Mrs.
13
Ed Rhodes (herein "HGCA") submit these comments in opposition to
Staff's supplemental report. The report recommends approval of the
15
Huntington Green II preliminary plat application.1 We will follow
16
Staff's presentation of issues.

1.
Connection of 92ftd Way S.E. with the Proposed Subdivision.
18
There are two basic reasons why Staff's conclusion that
1 Staff was directed by the Planning Commission to address concerns raised at its
July 17, 2000 meeting. The agenda item was continued to the next available date
(August 7, 2000). Staff provided a copy of its supplemental report late in the day on
August 2nd. Commenters thus had three working days to review and comment upon
the supplemental report (dated July 24, 2000).

be approved. The first stated reason is that the connection policy was
3
in place in 1992 prior to Huntington Green's plat approval. This isn't
4
so. The second reason is based upon erroneous "interpretations" of
5
city ordinances.
6
The first reason is factually inaccurate. Huntington Green's
7
preliminary plat was approved on December 11 J 1991. HGCA's rights
8
vested on that date. The policy regarding secondary access was
9
i
adopted in August, 1992. The policy cannot retroactively be applied to
I
i
the Huntington Green plat.
11
Staff relies on YMC 16.16.060 as support for its conclusion that
at least two vehicular accesses are required for the proposed plat of
thirteen lots. YMC 16.16.060 states:
Every subdivision or combination of subdivisions of twenty-
five or more housing units . . . shall provide more than one
vehicular access from (a) . . . collector street.
Staff failed to mention its interpretation of YMC 16.16.060 in its
July 11 th report despite its obvious significance. If Staff's

interpretation is legally correct, the Commission and, for that matter,
2
the Yelm City Council must require two vehicle access points for a
3
thirteen lot plat. The interpretive issue is whether the twenty-five lot
4
requirement is intended to apply to the proposed new plat (13 lots) by
5
adding the existing Huntington Green plat (41) lots) which totals 54
6
lots. It is logically sound to limit the twenty-five lot access
7
requirement to the application for plat approval under review. The
8
language used is indicative of an intent to prohibit a developer from
9
requesting more than one plat approval at the same point in time and
thus evade the twenty-five lot access requirement.
11
YMC 16.16.080 was not considered. It sets out language
relevant to our interpretive inquiry:
To determine the applicable street standard for residential
development, the number of housing units shall be the
number designated on the application by the applicant. . .
We request that documents which demonstrate prior application
of Staff's present interpretation be made a part of this record (if such
documents exist). Staff's belated effort to bolster their original

o conclusion that a second vehicle access street is required by city
2 ordinance is unpersuasive.
3 Staff ignores an ordinance directive based on its newly minted
4 interpretation to allow adjacent developed plat lots to be counted
5 toward the twenty-five lot limit which triggers the two vehicle access
6 requirement. Under Staffs interpretation, if the proposed plat was for
7 one residential lot of three plus acres, a second vehicle access would
8 be required because Huntington Green has 41 lots. Staffs argument
9 refutes itself.
C \ Moreover, Staffs interpretation hinges on the meaning of
11 "combination of subdivisions" in YMC 16.16.060. The only other code
12 reference to combined preliminary and final subdivisions is in YMC
13 16.12.210 which provides an option to submit "concurrent and
14 combined preliminary and final subdivision applications." This
15 language provides affirmation of the meaning of the twenty-five lot
16 limitation. The limitation applies to a combined application. It does
17 not include the number of lots in an existing developed plat.

Staff's argument is but a contrived attempt to reach a
2
predet~rmined result which is not required by the Yelm Municipal
3
Code (as HGCA pointed out in opening comments, p. 12).2 Staff
4
concludes that it does not have authority "to grant an exception to the
5
regulat,ions for connecting streets." Staff SUppa Rep., p. 4. HGCA
6
wholeheartedly agrees with the concept that Staff does not possess
7
authority to grant exemptions from ordinance based requirements.
8
Staff's proper role is to develop relevant and reliable information to
the decision-maker. Staff is not the decision-maker and, under the
Yelm o~dinance scheme of things, most definitely lacks power to
interpret ordinances in a manner inconsistent with their obvious
intent.
2 Staff points to YMC 16.16.090 which requires access to adjoining, but not
subdivided (platted), property. The developer's request for preliminary plat approval
in this proceeding is for thirteen residential lots, not for approval of undeveloped
land. YM~ 16.16.090 is irrelevant. This ordinance does not provide authority to
impose policy standards found in the Yelm Transportation Plan upon the preliminary
plat under review.

There was no response to our concern for the safety of children
9
from the proposed residential plat who will be attracted by the HGCA
sponsored park and playground (located on 92nd Way S.E. as Tract "A"
Open Space on Huntington Green Final Plat, Commenters Exhibit VI).4
There was no response to our concern regarding misuse or
overuse of the playground-park by residents of the proposed
development. Recall that HGCA pays for the park-playground. It is a
privately-owned and funded project devoted to use by lot owners and

The code, YMC 16.04.030, creates a duty to "lessen congestion
in the streets." This subject is not addressed except by Staff's
reliance on unsupported opinions that existing street standards will
cause little if any increased traffic (previously considered).5
To summarize, the Commission must decide whether it is
reasonable to expect additional vehicular traffic on 92"d Way S.E. as
stated by numerous lot owners in Huntington by letters (Exhibit IV,

this view. Staff Supp. Rep., Item 2(b), p. 3. This maneuver precludes

the Commission from considering the likelihood that most, if not all, of

prospective lot purchasers, will opt for manufactured homes. The

maneuver, in turn, affects the rights of HGCA to object to the impact

The pending proposal should be treated as what it is: a pl..,t
intended for development as a manufactured home subdivision. YMC
Chapter 17.63, Manufactured Homes should be read as a part of the
11
subdivision requirements applicable to the proposal - in the same way
12
zoning requirements overlay subdivision requirements. YMC
17 .63.j01 0, Intent. (E) expressly provides for city review of proposed
manufactured home subdivisions. A manufactured home subdivision is
defined as ". . . an area of land, platted in accordance with the
subdivision or platting regulations of the city and the state of
Washington, in which each parcel or lot is designed and intended to be

3 thirteen lots are each 50' wide by 88' deep which will barely

11 comments, pp. 8-11, and will not be repeated except to note that the

14 Was the fence intended to represent the boundary of the plat? The
15 surveyor, Mr. True, says it was not. He intended to show that the

A. CONTINUATION OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Planning Commission requested staff to summarize the issues that were discussed at the July
17, 2000 public hearing and to provide analysis and comment( s) on those issues
At the conclusion of the August 7, 2000, the Planning Commission must determine if the proposed
project is consistent with the City of Yelm's Comprehensive Plan and applicable Municipal
Code(s) After consideration of the facts and public testimony the Planning Commission must take
one of the following actions request additional information from the applicant and/or staff, continue
the public hearing or make a recommendation of action to the City Council
B. STATEMENT AND ANALYSIS OF ISSUES FROM THE JULY 17TH PUBLIC HEARING.
1
ReQuest not to connect 92nd Way SE with the new subdivision.
1.a. Policy/Development Regulations - The staff report quoted City Policy that
has been in place since1992 and reiterated in 1997 in the Transportation Plan and
in the 1995 Yelm and Thurston County Comprehensive Plan In addition, the City
has adopted regulations to implement these policies
The regulation that implements these policies is Title 16, Subdivisions, adopted in
May of 1992 and the Yelm Development Guidelines adopted in 1992. Chapter
16 16060, states that "every subdivision or combination of subdivisions of twenty-
five or more housing units, shall provide more than one vehicular access from an
arterial or collector street." Chapter 16 16090 states "When adjoining property is
not subdivided, streets in the proposed plat shall provide access to such unplatted
property in accordance with the Yelm Transportation Plan"
These regulations were in place at the time of project approval for Huntington
Green and were incorporated into its design The preliminary plat for Huntington
Green was approved in 1992 and the final plat in 1994
o
1.b. Increased Neighborhood Traffic - With the connection and possible future
connections of two additional streets as illustrated on Map 2, the shortest and most
direct route for all lots would be the new primary roads that will be constructed as
development occurs
After consulting with the City's Traffic Engineer, it is estimated that very little if any
traffic increase would occur from the connection and future development. Traffic
studies have repeatedly demonstrated drivers will use the most direct route With
the new development and future development to the north, the direct route will be
straight out to Crystal Springs Road via the new road(s)
1.c. Emergency Vehicle Access - Multiple access for both residential and
commercial development is encouraged or is a condition of project approval as
required in Chapter 16, Subdivisions (see discussion of 1.a.) Contact with both
Fire District 2 and CAPCOM (emergency response) confirm and stress the need for
multiple access when ever possible for public safety
Huntington Green and the proposed project are required to comply with Chapter 16
and provide connecting streets
o
1 d General Public Access - As with 1 b above it is reasonable to assume very
little if any increase in traffic would occur from the connection
The City is responsible for improving and providing a transportation system for the
entire City Connecting streets are an important element of the City's transportation
system Unless a road qualifies for and remains private and the maintenance is
provided by the owners the street is intended to provide public access to all
residents of the City
1.e. Children and automobile conflicts - The adopted street standards are
designed to incorporate traffic calming techniques to reduce the potential for
speeding Local Access Residential Streets incorporate bulbed intersections which
create a visual illusion that the driving lanes are more narrow at the intersection,
which causes the driver to decrease their speed Bulbed intersections also
enhance visibility at the intersection for both the pedestrian and driver of the
vehicle. Driving lanes have been reduced to 11' to help reduce automobile speeds.
Sidewalks are provided for pedestrians on a minimum of one side of the street.
The existing street standards and little if any increased traffic should be adequate to
control speed However, an option to further decrease traffic speeds would be to
install a traffic circle as illustrated in Map 2.

Manufactured Housina.
2.a Potential decrease in property values - An appraiser from Thurston
County Assessor's office explained that when they appraise a house they
must base their analysis on the condition of the individual house and what
other homes that are comparable to it are selling for on the current market.
The appraiser stated that the house next door rarely has an effect on the
appraised price of the home regardless of type or mix of types stick built
and/or manufactured
2.b. Regulatory Chapters for Review - The project as submitted and
proposed is for a residential subdivision and is subject to Title 16,
Subdivisions Only if the project submitted was for a Manufactured Home
Subdivision would the additional review of Chapter 17 63, Manufactured
Homes be applicable If in the future a manufactured home is placed on an
individual lot then it will need to comply with Chapter 17 63 prior to receiving
a building permit.
3. Plat Boundary and Right-of-Way Location on 92nd Way SE. - I contacted the
original surveyor of the Huntington Green Plat regarding the plat boundary and the
fence line The plat boundary is different from the fence line By law the surveyor
is required to include a reference to physical objects on the property The
reference to the fence is only that, a reference, and does not in any way insinuate
that the fence and the plat boundary are one in the same
4
Ingress/Egress at Crystal Springs Road - The City's reviewing engineer
concluded that the proposed entry and the residential driveway to the south will not
be in conflict with each other The new road will not encumber any of the property
to the south The location of the road is consistent with City regulations Mr
Mellema's comments and requests were given to the developer, but because the
design meet City standards the Site Plan Review Committee did not require the
applicant to re-design the plat so that the road was on the north
5 Survey of Property to the North - A questions was raised regarding a boundary
problem with the Ziebel property to the north of the project site On May 25, 2000, I
requested the surveyor to reconfirm his survey The surveyor did provide the City
with information reconfirming the survey (see attached Letter dated June 23, 2000,
from Kevin Bluhm, P L.S )
6. Open Space - Future Plans - Under current Shoreline regulations the most likely
scenario for future open space in the area is that all of the Shoreline areas to the
north of the site (see attached Maps) will be dedicated to the City as open space as
development occurs
The Shoreline Program is currently being revised by the State and the City and
County will be amending our program, probably in 2002. In is unknown at this time
if those changes will affect what we are currently requiring for open space
dedication
Page 3 of 4
7
Subdivision Covenants - The only requirement the City has for covenants
pertains to the maintenance of the subdivision's stormwater facility If the
subdivision retains ownership of the open space and/or streets the maintenance of
those facilities would also be provided for in the covenants Other issues such as
siding type, size of home, roofing materials, etc. can not be imposed by a public
agency and can only be attached to the property by the developer or a
homeowners association
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City staff does not have the authority to grant an exception to the regulations for connecting streets
and concludes that the evidence and facts presented do not constitute a recommendation from
staff to grant an exception
After review of the City's development regulations and all the issues raised through public
comment, both written and verbal, the staff believes the conditions of approval as stated in the
Staff Report, dated July 11, 2000, are appropriate and provides for the minimum requirements for
the development to be consistent with City development standards
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward SUB-00-8251-YL as conditioned in the
July 11, 2000, Staff Report, to the City Council for approval

In regard to the letter from the City ofYelm to you dated May 25,2000: I am confident that the
boundary shown on our map is correct. We have physically tied the W1/4, E114, S1/4'; SWand SE
comers of Section 18. The only controlling point we did not personally tie is the N1/4 comer and that
has been computed per survey filed under Auditor File No. 3265981 by Gary Johnson, dated
November 17, 1999. The Johnson survey matches the survey filed in Volume 18, Page 1n by
James Pantier dated September 28, 1984 You may note our measurements closely match those
dimensions on other surveys in this area.
I have not read the letter from Mark Ziebell, which is referred to in the letter from the City of Yelm. I
\NOUld be happy to sit down with anyone who has concerns on this matter and explain to them hoW we
computed the deed and determined the deeded comer positions.
I hope this helps rectify any concems on this matter
Sincerely,
kUL-

Public Hearinq - Huntinqton Green /I Preliminary Plat:
Applicant: Dick Boness Proposar: This proposal is to subdivide 3.26 acres
into 13 single-family residential lots Project location: The location is on the
west side of Crystal Springs Road just north of the existing Huntington Green
Subdivisions Tom Gorman opened the public hearing at 4 14 pm Mr.
Gorman then asked if any of the PC (PC) members had a conflict of Interest?
No Mr. Gorman asked if any member of the PC had received any
Information prior to the hearing? No Mr. Gorman asked the applicant if there

stated that this Hearing had been postponed from the previously scheduled
meeting to allow further public comment and then gave a staff report,
highlighting #20. Public concerns Mr. Gorman asked if the applicant would
like to present any information
Dick Boness, applicant, assured the public that he had their best interest in
mind and that he would not be building on the lots but believed the lots were
not able to accommodate manufactured homes, due to their size
Larry Con iff, Attorney at Law, representing Huntington Green Community 0
Association and Mr and Mrs Rhodes, presented Commission members with
written documentation including a Comments Memo, HGCA Bylaws, Plat
map, HGCA Covenants, Dedication and Yelm Transportation Policy Some
areas that were highlighted by Mr Coniff were zoning issues, access
requirements, and much discussion between Mr Coniff and Commission
members was held regarding the plat map of Huntington Green and
boundary along the northern property line
The following list of speakers and their comments are those belonging the
Huntington Green Community members All of the following speakers also
provide a written letter
Belle Mills spoke about the community doing some research and assigning
residents different topics to cover Ms Mills discussed the connectivity policy,
which included but was not limited to such topics as Congestion, Cul-de-sac
Vs Loop and Re-distribution All of these topics reiterated the fact the
Huntington Green is a community of 44 families who care about their
neighborhood and like It the way it currently is Ms Mills stated that currently
there is no congestion on 92nd Way, the houses In this neighborhood were
Page 2
o
c

o
Yelm PC
July 17, 2000
designed to have parking off the street. If the cul-de-sac was opened and
made a through street it would then become a Loop None of the connectivity
policy benefits would benefit the families of Huntington Green It is believed
by this community that the through street would do just the opposite It would
add more congestion, loop instead of cul-de-sac and re-distribute nothing to
nowhere It would be greatly appreciated, for your consideration of our
neighborhood to not implement a policy with no benefits
Patrick VanCleave stated the fact that many of the residents of Huntington
Green bought their houses due to the cul-de-sac and the limited access to
the neighborhood He was not informed by the developer, real-estate or
those processing the titles when purchasing his property about the cul-de-
sac ever becoming a through street. Houses were bought In this
neighborhood due to the boundaries of the fences and the creek. A thief was
recently apprehended during a communrty yard sale, due the fact that there
was no through street.
Larry Mellema stated his concerns of ingress and egress, utilities, roadway
and access to the new development and drainage Mr Mellema was also
concerned about some loss of his property and the invasion of his privacy
with the development and roadway leading to adverse affects to his property
It was suggested by Mr Mellema that the roadway to the new development
be located on the other side of the property and be more assessable to the
corresponding streets on the other side of Crystal Springs Road, indicating
the traffic being able to bypass a section of Yelm Avenue He asked the PC
to please take all of this information into consideration when making their
recommendation
Marilyn Ziebel stated a concern of the survey and leaving a 16' No-man' s
land problem Another concern of the Ziebel's is the future plans for the
creek property? Mr. Gorman asked staff to please note these concerns and
address them later
Frank Frawly addressed the Law Enforcement and Emergency issues Mr
Frawly, being a part of Law Enforcement sees no problem with the access
of emergency vehicles With the current cul-de-sac The congestion was
reiterated again, enough traffic with the 44 families already living there, no
need to open up and add through traffic. He purchased his house due to the
fact that it was located on a cul-de-sac Mr Frawly also respects the fact that
there are strict covenant rules in his neighborhood
Ed Rhodes covered the Transportation Policy Mr Rhodes stated that a
Policy is just a policy and was made to be amended or changed to benefit
Page 3
Yelm PC
July 17, 2000
the citizens or parties affected by the policy Mr Rhodes also reiterated
that fact that the through street Issue was not brought to his attention 0
when purchasing his property
Tad Stillwell expressed his concern about the added liabilities of a larger
neighborhood and the aesthetics of the smaller lots compared to the
already existing larger lots of Huntington Green
Ruth Jacobson noted that the policy to make 92nd Way a through street was
not in affect when Huntington Green was developed
Chad Hoff, a police officer, also reiterated the affects of an open-ended
community which will decrease the communities security for the 44 children
living there and increase the traffic flow of those just passing through the
neighborhood, whereas with a cul-de-sac, those entering must exit the same
way
Mike Brown stated that he received no information about a through street, he
bought his house in a closed community He believes the property value will
drop if the community is opened Mr Brown asks you, the Commission
members to please don't mess our community up by punching a road
through there
Karen Saxton just wanted to reiterate the fact that she was under the 0
assumption that she bought her house on a cul-de-sac and has grown
accustomed to living on a cul-de-sac
Mr. Gorman then asked if there was anyone else who wished to speak on
this matter None He then asked the Commission members if they had any
questions or comments? Mr. Kent asked if there were plans for the utilities
to go through the area of the punched through street? Mr. Peterson stated
that the water and sewer would go through whether there was a street placed
there or not and with the extension of the water lines, would come a increase
in fire flow Ms. Clapp asked if there was any intention of placing compatible
covenants on the new lots? Mr. Boness replied that yes he was, but not as
strict as the existing one His would address automobiles, fences and
animals, and would not include the actual structure requirements Mr.
Boness then inquired that if he were to not access through the existing cul-
de-sac, would he then regain 200 feet of shoreline setbacks? Ms. Carlson
said that no Mr Boness would not regain this setback due to the Shoreline
regulations Ms. Lonqmire asked if the covenants would include a minimum
square footage size for the houses? Mr. Boness replied that no it would not.

north of the existing Huntington Green Subdivisions
3 Public Notice Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Nisqually Valley
News on July 7, 2000, and posted in public areas on July 6, 2000 The notice was
mailed to adjacent property owners and the applicant on July 6, 2000
4
Subdivision Name. The applicant submitted the project application under the name
of Huntington Green II After review by Thurston County it was determined that the
name could not be used for the project.
5
Existing Land Use. Zoning and Density There are currently two manufactured
homes on the site that are proposed to be removed The site is zoned Moderate
Density Residential (R-6), Chapter 17 15 The applicant proposes to divide the
3.26 acres into 13 single family residential lots In the R-6 District the minimum
density is three (3) units per acre with a maximum of six (6) units per acre As
proposed the subdivision density is four (4) units per acre and complies with the
density requirements within the district.
o
6 Adiacent Land Uses and Zonina Properties to the north, south and east are zoned
Moderate Density Residential (R-6), Chapter 17 15 The property to the west is in
Thurston County and zoned 5 units per acre There is significant residential
development in the area ranging from 3 to 5 units per acre Properties to the north
of the site are typically rural low density
7 Critical Areas. Yelm Creek runs along the western property line of the project site
Yelm Creek is classified as a shoreline of the state and subject to the City's
Shoreline Master Program The shoreline jurisdiction is the land from the creek
bank (high water mark) back 200' feet or the 100 year flood plain, which ever is
greater On this site the 200' is the greater of the two The Shoreline Program is
intended to ensure protection of shorelines and that the public retains access to
shorelines of state significance
The project site is designated in the Shoreline Master Program as a rural shoreline
Any development proposal that includes property inside the shoreline jurisdiction is 0
developable at a residential density of 2 units per acre. If all development is
outside of the shoreline jurisdiction then the R-6 zoning is applicable All
development for the project is proposed outside of the shoreline area, therefore the
allowed density is regulated by the R-6 Zoning District. The shoreline area is
proposed as public open space
8 Open Space. Chapter 16 14 requires a minimum of five percent of the gross area
be dedicated as open space, which is 16 of an acre The open space must provide
one or more of the following uses. environmental interpretation or other education,
park, recreational land, or athletic fields; off-road footpaths or bicycle trails, or any
other use found by the City to further the purposes of the open space chapter The
ordinance suggests that open space should be dedicated to the City
The Shoreline area is proposed as the open space for the project which is
approximately 70 acre The applicant is proposing a pedestrian trail and
environmental interpretive signage to meet the criteria of the open space
ordinance As proposed the open space is in excess of the minimum requirement.
9 Schools New residential units create a demand for additional school services and
facilities. The Yelm School District requests that the developer enter into an
agreement with the school district for the payment of mitigation fees based on the

Transportation and Site Access. The property fronts on Crystal Springs Road
which is the primary access to the site Secondary access is proposed to be
provided by 92nd Ave SE
The 1992 Yelm Comprehensive Transportation Plan provides policies in which the
Transportation Plan will be implemented The 1992 plan states
The city of Yelm recognizes that increasing connections throughout the City
not only reduces traffic congestion but also increases the sense of unity of
the community Therefore, the City will limit the use of cul-de-sacs, dead-
end streets, loops, and other designs that form barriers. The city will seek
to minimize impacts of through traffic upon residential neighborhoods by
employing narrow streets, curves, indirect access routes, and other
features The City will encourage the use of trails and other connections
that provide ease of travel between neighborhoods and community centers
The Transportation Chapter of the Yelm Comprehensive Plan provides objectives
in which the Transportation Plan will be implemented The 1995 plan states.
c
The objective of the Transportation Plan is to provide a cost-effective
network to accommodate travel in and around the core area To
accomplish this objective, Yelm will actively purse 1 A connected-streets
policy to promote the efficient flow of traffic within the community
The Design Guidelines implement the above objective through Section 48020 4,
Design Standards," the layout of streets shall provide for the continuation of
existing principal streets in adjoining subdivisions or for their proper project when
adjoining property is not subdivided "
92nd Way SE, to the south of the site was originally designed with the intent of it
being extended in the future The cul-de-sac was constructed as a turn around for
emergency vehicles as required by code However the right-of-way that was
dedicated goes beyond the cul-de-sac to the project site, allowing for the future
connection of 92nd Way SE
The design of the internal street system is a local access residential street. The
portion of the street that runs north and south is proposed to connect to 92nd Way
SE to the south and to provide a future connection to the north of the project site
The completed project will increase traffic and impact the City's transportation
system Chapter 15 40, Concurrency Management, requires all development to
mitigate impacts to the City transportation system A single family home generates
1 01 pm peak hour trips per unit. The Transportation Facility Charge per unit is
o

$757 50 and payable at time of building permit.

ParkinQ. Chapter 17 72, Off-Street Parking and Loading, requires minimum
parking ratio of two spaces per unit. The developer is proposing at a minimum to
provide a driveway approach that can accommodate two vehicles
o
12. Wastewater The project site is in the Sewer Service Area but is currently not
served by the City's STEP sewer system There is an existing 3" line available on
Crystal Springs Road
The existing manufactured homes are currently served with on-site septic systems
The applicant is proposing to remove the homes and abandon the systems
13 Water Supply The proposed site is in the City's water service area and service is
provided to the two manufactured homes There is a 6" service located on Crystal
Springs Road
14 Drainage/Stormwater The completed project will increase impervious surfaces on
the site and adjacent streets Impervious surfaces create storm water runoff
When uncontrolled and untreated storm water runoff can create health and safety
hazards. YMC requires all development to comply with the Stormwater Manual for
the control and treatment of stormwater runoff
The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Stormwater Report that estimates the
impervious surface, infiltration rates of the runoff, and a conceptual design for
treatment and storage of the stormwater Following preliminary plat approval the
City Stormwater Manual requires the developer to submit a final plan consistent
with the final impervious calculations for the site
o
Stormwater facilities require continued maintenance to ensure they remain in
proper working condition
15 Fire Protection Fire protection is provided by the Thurston County Fire District #2..
As development occurs there will be additional demands for fire service
16 Police Protection Police protection is provided by the City of Yelm As
development occurs there will be additional demands for police service
17 Street liohtino. Adequate street lighting will be required for this project.
18 Landscaping. Landscaping and screening are necessary to promote safety, to
provide screening between compatible land uses, to safeguard privacy and to
protect the aesthetic assets of the City Chapter 17 80, Landscaping, requires the
applicant to provide on-site landscaping for all development proposals
The site is adjacent to properties that are compatibly zoned, therefore the code
requires that the perimeter of the site be landscaped with a Type II landscaping In
Page 4 of 8
o
c
residential subdivisions the city also allows fencing to meet the landscaping
requirement for the perimeter of the site
Landscaping is typically required in the open space, however to meet the intent of
the Shoreline Master Program it is more desirable to leave the open space in a
more natural setting
The applicant has submitted a preliminary landscaping plan that includes street
trees, a 6' wood privacy fence along the perimeter of the site along the northern
property line and a pedestrian path and environmental signage in the open space
Chapter 17 80 requires that at time of civil plan review and approval the applicant
provide the Community Development Department a final landscape and irrigation
plan for approval
19 Environmental Review: After review of the environmental checklist and supporting
documents, a Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance (MONS) was issued on
May 25,2000 The comment period expired on June 7,2000 The MONS is
attached as Exhibit III
20 Public Comment. A number of letters were received from property owners in the
Huntington Green Subdivision to the south of the project site (Exhibit IV). A
summary of the main issues and concerns raised in the letters are
o
1
The extension of 92nd Ave SE, causing increase in neighborhood traffic
and safety concerns for the neighborhood children
Environmental concerns to Yelm Creek.
The name of the project, Huntington Green II, implying that this project is an
extension of the existing neighborhood
Concern of the quality of housing to be built or that manufactured housing
would be allowed

The following residence of Huntington Green object to the Project Name:
Huntington Green II and its impact on our community The following are a lughlight
of our objections:
1) We all purchased our homes believing that the development was the
enclosed size and boundaries, Wlth no through streets
2) Huntington Green Commuruty Association is a development Wlth stnct
covenants that the member of our commuruty abide by These covenant are very specific
as to the type of home that can be built (lap siding all the way around, and at least a
certain square footage) Also there are restnctions to landscaping, fencing, color,
parkmg, paVing and vanous other tlungs that could be supplied to you by obtairung a
copy of our bylaws and covenants.
3) The proposed 13 single-family development has no intentiOn of abiding by
these covenants. Trailers and or doubleWldes are to be placed on the lots.
4) The property values of the current homes In Huntington Green would
suffer greatly Tlus is extremely unfair to the residents of what is one of the rucest
developments in Yelm. The current property values of the homes in this community are
$130,000 plus.
5) We have a fence and landscaping in the proposed area to make a through
street. Also an easement on both sides ofthe property
6) The letter sent out was vague and appeared to be slipping sometlung by
the reSidents of the Huntington Green Community
7) Tlus is a qmet, great neighborhood, one that others should emulate We
deserve to keep it that way
8) We could go on and on, and as a community would like the courtesy of
being heard. We are the only residents tlus will affect, so our thoughts should way
heavily on your decision to not go ahead with this project.
Thank-you for your consideration,
Huntington Green Community Association and it residents

15624 92nd. Way SE
Yelm WA 98597
To Whom It May Concern:
When we received the notice regarding the proposed "addition:
to our neighborhood, of 13 trailer spaces. I Became very con-
cerned about many items.
It is my understanding that manufactured homes ha~e to match
the surrounding homes and neighborhoods. And I don't believe
that there are any manufactured homes that are built to match
our neighborhood. Thus, causing a possible decrease in property
values.
My next area of concern is that as a homeowners association we
have areas8that are owned by the Huntington Green Association,
that we have paid to build, maintain and also insure. With a
thru road on 92nd. Way we would have less control of who is on
our grounds. Which would expose all residents to additional
liability hazards.
o
In addition, when we purchased our home, one of the selling
points was that the neighborhood did NOT have through streets.
There are lots of children in our development, and I strongly
feel a through street would be dangerous.
Thank you in advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
T~d & Debbie Stillwell

Dear Kathie Carlson,
This letter is in reference to the proposal to make 92nd
Way S.E. into an access road for a new manufactured home
development. ~s a homeowner at 15645 92nd Way S.E., in the
Huntington Green community, I object to this proposal.
It is my. understanding that 92nd Way S.E. may become a
through street as well. My husband and I have two girls, ages 4
and 8. At this time, there are forty or more children in our neigh-
borhood. If the road was opened, the safety of our children would
be at stake.
We purchased our home two years ago under the assumption
o
the road would stay a cul-de-sac and only stick built homes
made to the specifications stated in our covenants would be
allowed here. Manufactured homes should not be accessed through
92nd Way S.E.
We have all worked hard as friends and neighbors to improve
our community and make it our little piece of heaven on earth.
Please don't let this be destroyed by a developer who could
certainly access his development by building h~s own road off
Crystal Springs Road.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,
-K~~

Re Land Use Case SUB-00-8251-YL
To whom it concerns
This letter is to voice our concern as Yelm citizens about the proposed development,
Huntington Green II, submitted by Dick Boness
When we bought our home in the Huntington Green subdivision in June 1999, we did
so because of the quality of life the neighborhood offers This quality of life is dictated by a
set of strict covenants and conditions very specific to this neighborhood.
The proposal to annex Huntington Green with a development totally out of character
with the original would be, in our opinion, an egregious act that would diminish the quality of
our neighborhood and make a mockery out of the Huntington Green covenants and condi-
tions.

original Hun~;,",~'ir!l Gr€en neighborhood The proposal to ccnnEct S2nd Way to the new
development is totally unnecessary and poorly conceived In fact, any connection to the
Huntington Green subdivision to Boness' property would be inappropriate and diminish the
character of the neighborhood, not to mention the property values Other access options -
ones that are more suitable - are available to Boness and his proposed development,
options that need to be utilized instead.
We ask that the city reject this proposal If the city does not reject this proposal, we
believe it is reasonable and fair to demand that the proposed new development, Huntington
Green II, adopt and abide by each and every one of the strict covenants and conditions of
the original Huntington Green subdivision
We believe that the city, in its wisdom will do the right thing and reject this application
as well as any other proposal to connect the proposed development to the original
Huntington Green subdivision Please include us on your list for any future mailings on this
proposal

To whom It concerns
5/4/00
Upon reCeIVing the recent notIce for the proposed development of the land that IS
adjacent to the onginal Huntington Green neIghborhood I was naturally Interested In
what impacts thiS nnght have on the life style that my family and many of our fnends
famihes have grown to enJoy and protect.
One of my first Inqumes had to do with the name of thiS proposed development bemg
referred to as "Huntington Green II" m the announcement mailed out. The assumptIOn
was that a neighborhood borrOWing the n~me of an upscale and higher pnced
development nnght mean that perhaps the same high quality builder, respecting the same
high standards and imposmg the same stnct covenants that those families in the ongmal
Huntington Green neighborhood have come to expect and who have tIrelessly protected,
would be used to develop this new neighborhood.
QUit to my surpnse and dismay, it turns out that this m fact is the proposal for a trailer
park of thirteen "slots" This was of immediate concern due pnmarily to the fact that if
allowed tlus development would only devalue my own property
It would also attract low income families who may not have as much respect for the hard
won and highly respected legal covmance that govern Huntmgton Green of wluch such
by -laws have made our neighborhood one that is respected and valued.
With aU due respect, trailers have no right to be assocIated with Huntington Green.
Furthermore, the design of the road m the shape ofa cul-de-sac suggests something other
than a thoroughfare and should not be opened to traffic as this was one of the mam
reasons I Invested m the home I currently live In at the end of satd cul-de-sac I would be
very concerned and quite upset If thIS road were to be connected With a low mcome
housmg development that was not bound by the same speed litnlt agreements, housmg
covenants, mcluding, fencmg, recreational velucle, parkmg, clutter, and many other
restrictions and agreements. I would have to say that I would be prepared to pursue thiS
issue further that being the case.
o
Please respect tlus appeal to refuse the applicatiOns for the development oftlus adjacent
land for such purpose With out consIdenng seriously the implicatIons and the effects tlus
would likely have on the people involved.
Thank you m advance for you conSIderation and all the best to you m your negotiatIOns.

Yelm, WA 98597
Dear Ms. Carlson
My family moved to Yelm three and one-half years ago. The main attraction for
us to this community was the small town, friendly environment. We realized we had
found something quite special in our particular neighborhood of Huntington Green. As
the parents of two small children, we were especially pleased that our neighborhood
was not accessible to through traffic. Our children, as well as the other neighborhood
children, currently have a safe area to ride their bicycles, roller-skate and play without
having to worry too much about vehicular traffic. The safety of our children is, naturally,
our primary concern.
The proposal before you of changing 92nd Way SE from a dead end street to a
street allowing through traffic to a mobile home development adjacent to Huntington
Green would have a detrimental effect if passed. Our neighborhood has strict
covenants, conditions, and restrictions, which all homeowners adhere This contributes
to our quality of life as well as maintaining our property values. It is my understanding
that the proposed new subdivision will have a street connecting it to Crystal Springs
Road. If this is the case, I fail to see why an additional road negatively altering our
neighborhood is necessary
I wish to be notified of a public hearing regarding any revisions to Huntington
Green's original developmental plans so that my concerns may be voiced.
Respectfully,
~Us~

Dear Ms Cartson,
This letter is in reference to the Notice of Application we received on May 4, 2000, conceming the
proposed project near our home. We are strongly opposed to this project. When we moved to this area
in 1995, the layout and security, with only one way to enter and exit this community appealed to us the
most. These aspects had a great impact on our decision to buy this property This project would have a
great impact on the value of our properties, jeopardize the security and would interfere with the
covenants established for this community
We want to be included in all mailing lists and public meetings concemin9 this project. Please inform us
of such with adequate notice prior to each event.

$incerely,

CIty of Yelm

Yelm, WA 98597
Dear Ms. Carlson,
We became aware today of a pendmg housmg development north and adjacent to Huntington
Green, where we live.
Some of the thmgs we have heard about this pending development are disturbing if true.
o
The rumors we have heard include: the development may be called Huntington Green II, the lots
are sized for mobile or manufactured homes and would not include attached garages; the
culdesac at the end of92nd Wy SE would become a through street, loopmg 93td Wy SE (the new
street m the development) through our neIghborhood.
We would like to go on record as bemg against makmg the 92nd Wy culdesac a through street
and as bemg against the proposed development m general if It is mdeed to be comprised of
mobile or manufactured homes or named anythmg SImilar to Huntington Green.
Yelm IS lIttered With low-end, unattractive housmg at thIS tIme.
We believe the CIty should be encouraging development of middle mcome housmg.
If you were to dnve through the recent manufactured home development adjacent to Mill Pond
IntermedIate School, you would clearly be appalled, as we are, at the thought of somethmg
SImilar bemg allowed next to our neIghborhood. Would you want it next to yours?
We bought mto our neIghborhood because it was quiet and attractIve. It had covenants
protectmg the appearance of the area and ultimately (we hoped) the property values of
neIghborhood homes.
All of that could be destroyed If a new through street guts our neighborhood, if the proposed
development does not have covenants similar to ours.

Before allowmg development to proceed, we expect that the City will hold pubhc heanngs and
notIfy every household m Huntmgton Green m adequate tIme of the date and tIme for the
heanngs.
Are there envIronmental concerns such as additiOnal pavement and concrete in the area
potentIally contributIng to the floodmg of Yelm Creek even worse than what already occurs each
wmter?
How will the qualIty of lIfe that we all bought mto when purchasmg homes m Huntington Green
be protected?
We look forward to heanng from the CIty soon.

Dear Ms. Carlson.
Thank you for the opportumty to comment on the mitigated determination of nonslgmficance
to subdivide 3.26 acres mto 13 smgle-famIly residential lots (SEPA No 8251) located at
1211 Crystal Springs Road as proposed by Dick Boness. We reviewed the environmental
checklist and have the following comments.
No site plan was included with the checklist making It difficult to determine the location
relative to the 1 OO-year floodplaIn. If any proposed bUIldIng sites are in the floodplain a
floodplaIn development permit IS required and the applicant will have to assure that there wIll
be less than a I-foot rIse In base flood elevation and no adverse floodmg Impacts to adjacent
properties.
If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments, please call Mr Dan
Sokol (Floodplain Management) at 9360) 407-7253 or wIth any other questions regardmg
this proposal I can be reached at (360) 407-6787

Re Middle Road Preliminary Plat Approval, SUB-00-8252-YL
LIST OF EXHIBITS. Exhibit I - Site Plan
Exhibit II - Public Hearing Notice
Exhibit III - Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance
A. PUBLIC HEARING OBJECTIVE:
The Planning Commission must determine if the proposed project is consistent with the City of
Yelm's Comprehensive Plan and applicable Municipal Code(s). After consideration of the facts
and public testimony the Planning Commission must take one of the following actions. request
additional information from the applicant and/or staff, continue the public hearing or make a
recommendation of action to the City Council
B. PROPOSAL.
The applicant proposes to subdivide 4 15 acres into 22 single family residential lots The
proposed plat includes Tracts A, Band C for open space and/or stormwater retention, a new street
and the infrastructure necessary to support the new development.
C. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS.
1 Proponent. Dennis Balascio
2. Location The project site is located on the north side of Middle Road just east of
the Prairie Creek Subdivision. The project site includes 2 parcels The majority of
the project is on tax parcel 64303500504, lots 14 - 16 and Welch Street are located
on a portion of tax parcel 64303500400
3 Public Notice Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Nisqually Valley
News on July 7,2000, and posted in public areas on July 6,2000 The notice was
mailed to adjacent property owners and the applicant on July 6, 2000
4
Subdivision Name. The applicant submitted the project application under the name
of Middle Road Plat. This name has not been approved by Thurston County
c

5
Existinq Land Use, Zoning and Densitv There is currently one manufactured home
on the site that is proposed to be removed The site is zoned Moderate Density
Residential (R-6), Chapter 17 15 The applicant proposes to divide the 4 15 acres
into 22 single family residential lots In the R-6 District the minimum density is three
(3) units per acre with a maximum of six (6) units per acre As proposed the
subdivision density is five (5) units per acre and complies with the density
requirements within the district.
6 Lots Size and Setbacks. The R-6 District does not have a minimum or maximum
lot size but it does have standard yard setbacks The shape or size of Lot 5, 14, 16,
17,18, and 22 may not accommodate typical foot prints for single story homes
7 Adiacent Land Uses and Zoning Properties to the north and east of the site are in
Thurston County Properties to the east are zoned Rural Residential (1/5) and to
the north are industrial The property to the north is currently being considered for
a rezone to residential by Thurston County Commissioners The property to the
west and south of the site are zoned Moderate Density Residential (R-6)
Developed densities in the immediate area range from rural (1 unit per five acres)
to moderate density of 6 units per acre
8
Open Space. Chapter 16 14 requires a minimum of five percent of the gross area
be dedicated as open space, which is 21 of an acre for Lot 3 of SS-8187YL. A
condition of approval for SS-978187YL was that Lot 3 provide the opens space for
Lot 1, which is an additional 05 of an acre Total open space required for the
project is 26 of an acre The open space must provide one or more of the following
uses environmental interpretation or other education, park, recreational land, or
athletic fields, off-road footpaths or bicycle trails, or any other use found by the City
to further the purposes of the open space chapter The ordinance suggests that
open space should be dedicated to the City
The applicant has not indicated at this time which tract or combination of tracts will
serve as the open space
9 Schools New residential units create a demand for additional school services and
facilities The Yelm School District requests that the developer enter into an
agreement with the school district for the payment of mitigation fees based on the
project's impact. This request became mitigation of the Environmental
Determination
10 Transportation and Site Access. The property fronts on Middle Road which is the
only access to the site
The 1992 Yelm Comprehensive Transportation Plan provides policies in which the
Transportation Plan will be implemented The 1992 plan states
The city of Yelm recognizes that increasing connections throughout the City
not only reduces traffic congestion but also increases the sense of unity of
Page 2 of 8
c
c
o
the community Therefore, the City will limit the use of cul-de-sacs, dead-
end streets, loops, and other designs that form barriers The city will seek
to minimize impacts of through traffic upon residential neighborhoods by
employing narrow streets, curves, indirect access routes, and other
features. The City will encourage the use of trails and other connections
that provide ease of travel between neighborhoods and community centers
The Transportation Chapter of the Yelm Comprehensive Plan provides objectives
in which the Transportation Plan will be implemented The 1995 plan states
The objective of the Transportation Plan is to provide a cost-effective
network to accommodate travel in and around the core area To
accomplish this objective, Yelm will actively purse 1 A connected-streets
policy to promote the efficient flow of traffic within the community
The Design Guidelines implement the above objective through Section 4B020 4,
Design Standards," the layout of streets shall provide for the continuation of
existing principal streets in adjoining subdivisions or for their proper project when
adjoining property is not subdivided "
The design of the internal street system is a local access residential street. Welch
Street which runs north and south on the eastern portion of the site is proposed as
the future access for development on the remaining portion of tax parcel
64303500400
The completed project will increase traffic and impact the City's transportation
system Chapter 15 40, Concurrency Management, requires all development to
mitigate impacts to the City transportation system A single family home generates
1 01 P m peak hour trips per unit. The Transportation Facility Charge per unit is
$757 50 and payable at time of building permit.
11
Parking. Chapter 17 72, Off-Street Parking and Loading, requires minimum
parking ratio of two spaces per unit. The developer is proposing at a minimum to
provide a driveway approach that can accommodate two vehicles
12
Wastewater The project site is in the Sewer Service Area but is currently not
served by the City's STEP sewer system There is an existing line available to the
west of the site at the Prairie Creek Subdivision
The existing manufactured home is currently served with an on-site septic system
The applicant is proposing to remove the home and abandon the system
13
Water Supplv The proposed site is in the City's water service area but is currently
not served by the city water system There is a service line located to the west of
the site at the Prairie Creek Subdivision
The existing manufactured home is currently served with an on-site well The

o
applicant is proposing to remove the home and abandon the system
14
Drainage/Stormwater The completed project will increase impervious surfaces on
the site and adjacent streets Impervious surfaces create storm water runoff
When uncontrolled and untreated storm water runoff can create health and safety
hazards YMC requires all development to comply with the Stormwater Manual for
the control and treatment of stormwater runoff
The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Stormwater Report that estimates the
impervious surface, infiltration rates of the runoff, and a conceptual design for
treatment and storage of the stormwater Following preliminary plat approval the
City Stormwater Manual requires the developer to submit a final plan consistent
with the final impervious calculations for the site
Stormwater facilities require continued maintenance to ensure they remain in
proper working condition
15 Fire Protection Fire protection is provided by the Thurston County Fire District tf2.
As development occurs there will be additional demands for fire service
16 Police Protection Police protection is provided by the City of Yelm As
development occurs there will be additional demands for police service
17
Street Lightinq. Adequate street lighting will be required for this project.
18
Landscaping. Landscaping and screening are necessary to promote safety, to
provide screening between compatible land uses, to safeguard privacy and to
protect the aesthetic assets of the City Chapter 17 80, Landscaping, requires the
applicant to provide on-site landscaping for all development proposals.
The site is adjacent to properties that are compatibly zoned with the exception of
the property to the north It is likely that by the end of the year the property to the
north will be rezoned to residential Assuming all adjacent properties are zoned
resiendital the code requires that the perimeter of the site be landscaped with a
Type II landscaping In residential subdivisions the city also allows fencing to meet
the landscaping requirement for the perimeter of the site
Landscaping is also required in the open space and above ground stormwater
facilities
A preliminary landscaping plan has not been submitted at this time
Chapter 17 80 requires that at time of civil plan review and approval the applicant
provide the Community Development Department a final landscape and irrigation
plan for approval

INTRODUCTION
These comments are made on behalf of an owner of several lots
13
in the Huntington Green plat and the Association which is organized
14
as a non-profit corporation in accordance with the laws of the State of
Washington. A copy of the Association's 1994 bylaws is presented as
16
Exhibit V. The Association charges dues, conducts regular meetings,
17
operates and maintains a community recreational ground for children
18
and adults. The recreational area is depicted on the Huntington Green
19
plat map as Tract A presented as Exhibit VI. The Association is
20
concerned about the proposed extension of 92ftd Way S.E. to the

adjacent proposed manufactured home development for several

COMMENT NO. 1
A one foot strip of land between the fence
4 and the boundary between the two parcels was not acquired by the
5 City of Yelm.
6 To grasp the meaning of our comment, one must examine the
7 Huntington Green plat map as accepted by Yelm via dedication. The
8 north line of Huntington Green plat is depicted by an arrow as an
9 extension from the range line and described as:
10 North line of South Half of Southwest Quarter of Southwest
01 Quarter of Section 18.
12
13 The plat map northerly boundary is depicted by a broad line
14 (wider than the northline) described as:
15 New 6' wood fence constructed approximately l' into plat
16 along north and south plat lines.
17
18 The Community Association was in existence when the plat was
19 drawn (June 14, 1994). The fence was in existence at that time. The

Association and Mr. Rhodes believed the fence was the intended

boundary in relation to 92Rd Way S.E. and lots 14 and 15.
3
Staff believes, to the contrary, that the 92Rd Way S.E. "right-of-
4
way that was dedicated goes beyond the cul-de-sac to the project site,
5
allowing for the future connection of 92Rd Way S.E." (Staff memo, page
6

7
Fences can be boundaries if the parties so intend. Description oiF
8
the north and south boundaries of the plat as a "wood fence
9
constructed approximately l' into plat along north and south plat
lines" is clear and unambiguous. One must ignore that description of
the boundary and extrapolate the "northline" description onto the wide
12
line which was intended to depict plat boundaries by reference to the
13
existing fence.2

2 certain strip of land or what was included within the bounds of a fence
3 will control. Washington Real Property Deskbook (1986), sec. 31.23
4 and sec. 31.24.
5 When ambiguity arises outside the description in a deed (or a
6 dedication) parole evidence is always admissible to resolve the
7 ambiguity. The goal is to ascertain what is the meaning of the words
8 used. This is accomplished by review of the facts and circumstances
9 at the time of the transaction and by the practical construction given
dO by the parties with respect to the ambiguity. It/.
11 A fair evaluation of the evidence necessarily leads to the
12 conclusion that Yelm did not receive a l' strip of land contiguous to
13 the north end of the right-of-way cul-de-sac by dedication. The
14 Huntington Green dedication is presented as Exhibit VIII. There is no
15 physical connection between the proposal and 92ftd Way S.E. as it
16 exists because the l' strip of land was not included within plat
17 boundaries.

3 evidence upon which to base a written finding that public safety has

5 Mandatory goals for the Commission to consider are set forth in

7 highways;" (2) "promote safe and convenient travel on streets and

the Association's community park will be adversely affected by (1)
increasing the risks associated with children walking to the park and

(2) possible overuse or misuse of the Community sponsored park by

Neither does Staff address the duty to "lessen congestion in the

1 Staffs memo fails to discuss the impacts of a manufactured

2 home subdivision upon the residents of Huntington Green or upon their
3 property values (which will be adversely aHected by an abutting row of
4 13 manufactured homes). No restrictions or provisions are suggested
5 to minimize or eliminate such expectable problems associated with a
6 pl2tted manufactured home subdivision.
7 One intent of the Manufactured Homes ordinance YMC
8 17.63.01 O(D) is to ensure a high quality of development so that "the
9 community as CD whole are [sic] protected from potentially adverse
10 impact [sic] of such development or use." A complementary intent is
o
11 to make a distinction between manufactured home communities and
12 manufactured home subdivisions and their characteristics. It/., (F).
13 The proposal is for a manufactured home subdivision which has no
14 controls over land use by occupants as opposed to a community which
15 is under covenants and restrictions on use which are capable of
16 enforcement. The "distinction" between the two is dramatic. The

A traffic policy must be implemented in

5 Staff draws upon policy found in the 1992 Yelm Comprehensive
6 Transportation Plan. The policy reads:
7 The city of Yelm recognizes that increasing connections
8 throughout the City not only reduces traffic congestion but
9 also increases the sense of unity of the community.
10 Therefore, the City will limit the use of cul-de-sacs, dead-
11 end streets, loops, and other designs that form barriers.
12 The city will seek to minimize impacts of through traffic
13 upon residential neighborhoods by employing narrow
04 streets, curves, indirect access routes, and other features.
15 The City will encourage the use of trails and other
16 connections that provide ease of travel between
17 neighborhoods and community centers.
18
19 This position has several weak points.
20 The Transportation Policy is just what it says it is: a policy. A
21 policy is, by definition, not mandatory. Neither can a policy override
22 city ordinances.

11 Green's plat was approved in 1994. The existence of the policy was
12 not made known to the Association or its members. The cul-de-sac

requirements.
In designing and planning for any development, it is the
developers responsibility to see that adequate water for both
domestic use and fire protection is attainable. The developer
must show, in the proposed plans, how water will be supplied
and whether adequate water pressure will be attained in case of
fire. An analysis of the system may be required if it appears
that the system might be inadequate.
Anyone who wishes to extend or connect to the City's water
system should contact the Department of Public Works for a
water extension/ connection fee estimate. This fee estimate is
an estimate of the costs due the City for a waterline extension
or connection (YMC 13.04.150, 160) A copy of the estimate
form may be found in the appendix.
o
Prior to the release of any water meters, all Public Works
improvements must be completed and approved including
granting of Right-of-Way or easements, and all applicable fees
must be paid.
Issuance of building permits for new construction of single
family subdivisions shall not occur until [mal Public Works
approval is given. For commercial projects, building permits
may be issued upon completion and acceptance of the required
fire protection facilities. A construction bond, in accordance
with Section 3.090f~3.100A of these Standards, will be required
for the remaining public works improvements. Certificate of
occupancy will not be issued until final Public Works approval
is given for all improvements.

conflict of interest? There was none Mr. Gorman asked if any member of
the Planning Commission had received any information prior to the hearing?
No Mr. Gorman asked the applicant if there were any conflicts of interest
with any of the PC members? No Cathie Carlson then gave a staff report.
Mr. Gorman asked about the setbacks, there was some discussion Bob Isom
asked if lots #17-20 are the only ones with the different setbacks? Ms. Carlson
said yes
Margaret Clapp asked if the conditions of approval will include wording about
the road going through in the future? Ms. Carlson said yes, it will be noted on
the face of the plat map Roberta Longmire asked about the depth of the lots
in the back? Ms. Carlson said approximately 92 feet.
Ms. Carlson gave Dana Spivey a copy of the settlement agreement to be
entered into the record as an exhibit of the public hearing Mr. Gorman asked
if the applicant would like to add to the staff report or give his own

presentation? Doug Bloom, of Rainier General Development(RGD,) said no,
everything had been covered
Mr. Gorman then asked if there were any comments from the public? Jerry
Cullens and Patty Thompson stated that their property is just across from the
proposed plat on Cullens Road Their only concern is the name of the
proposed project, and if their fence is going to be ruined? Mr. Bloom of RGD,
stated that the name of the project will not be Cullens Estates, it will be
something different, and Jim Gibson of SCA Engineering, stated that more
than likely their fence will not be ruined
Mr. Gorman asked if any of the PC members had questions? Ms. Clapp
asked about a public disclosure to buyers, that the street would be extended
in the future? Ms. Carlson said that it is listed as #14 under "transportation,"
in the conditions of approval Ms. Clapp asked if this is enough? Ms. Carlson
said yes, it is really all that can be done
Mr. Isom asked about the East West road - why couldn't there be a connector
straight through to Killion? Ms. Carlson stated the reason the city didn't have
that as a connector is because that property over there is zoned C-1
(commercial) which is a conflicting use, and the city doesn't typically have
those connected She also stated, just south of this parcel, (at the Yelm
Community Services-Krislen apartments) there is a future extension of Coates
Road planned through to Killion Road Ms. Longmire asked if that is a
different zone there, does that require a different buffer? Ms. Carlson said
yes, there is a 15 foot buffer, and in the conditions of approval it states that
within a homeowners agreement, a clause for protection of that buffer is
required - the homeowners have to keep the buffer maintained etc Ms.
Longmire also asked Cathie if the PC members could have an 11 x17 size map
with their mailing? Ms. Carlson said yes
Ms. Longmire - stated that with the required 15 foot buffer it leaves practically
no back yard Ms. Carlson stated that it does leave a small back yard, but if
people want a larger back yard then they can look at different lots Ms.
Longmire said that when the townhouse ordinance was created certain things
were specified - but now it seems we're going back and saying the front yard
setbacks are going to be those of the underlying district - and its been done
before -? Ms. Carlson stated that this hasn't been done with townhouses
before, but she went through and did a comparison with the other overlay
districts, and they all revert back to the underlying zone for setback
requirements, and the chapter for townhouses does also with the one
exception of front yards, and she isn't sure why that exception exists, there

isn't any obvious reason - she feels it was an oversight. Ms. Longmire stated
that if the underlying district is going to be used then the code should be
changed Ms. Carlson agreed Mr. lsom asked why would it be a problem to
conform with the requirements then for lots #17-20, rather than #13-20 - when
all of the lots appear to be the same size? Ms. Carlson said it is because of
the variation requirement of 4 feet for front yard setbacks
Mr. Gorman asked if there were any more questions? Mr. Gorman then asked
why there isn't a cul-de-sac at the end? Ms. Carlson stated the city has two
definitions for cul-de-sacs, a full radius and a hammerhead, and on this plat
a hammerhead will be used Ms. Longmire asked what the width of that street
will be? Ms. Carlson said it is approximately 58 feet, with a sidewalk on one
side, parking on both sides, 11 foot driving lanes and planter strips
Ms. Longmire asked the applicant if the lots and townhouses will be for sale
or rent? Mr. Bloom stated they will be for sale Mr. Gorman asked if there
were any further questions? There were none Mr. Gorman closed the public
hearing at 4 28 p m Ms. Carlson then stated what the options are for the PC
to take action on this proposal

From Cathie Carlson, City Planner
Re Cullens Estates Preliminary Plat Approval, SUB-00-8250-YL
LIST OF EXHIBITS: Exhibit I - Site Plan
Exhibit II - Public Hearing Notice
Exhibit III - Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance
A. PUBLIC HEARING OBJECTIVE.
The Planning Commission must determine if the proposed project is consistent with the City of
Yelm's Comprehensive Plan and applicable Municipal Code(s) After consideration of the facts
I
arid public testimony the Planning Commission must take one of the following actions request
additional information from the applicant and/or staff, continue the public hearing or make a
recommendation of action to the City Council
,
B. PROPOSAL.
The applicant proposes to subdivide four (4) acres into 24 townhouse lots The proposed plat
includes one (1) primary open space tract with one (1) additional tract containing both open space
and the plat's stormwater system totaling 0 68 acres
C. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS.
1 Proponent. Rainier General Development
2. Location The project site is located on the west side of Cullens Road just north of
the Cullens Road and Coates Ave intersection
3 Public Notice Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Nisqually Valley
News on May 26, 2000, and posted in public areas on May 24, 2000 The notice
was mailed to adjacent property owners and the applicant on March 24, 2000
4
Existing Land Use. Zoning and Density The site is vacant and zoned Moderate
Density Residential (R-6), Chapter 17 15 The applicant proposes to divide the four
(4) acres into 24 townhouse lots In the R-6 District the minimum density is three
(3) units per acre with a maximum of six (6) units per acre As proposed the
subdivision density is six (6) units per acre and complies with the density
requirements within the district.
o
5 Adiacent Land Uses and Zoning Properties to the north and south are zoned
Moderate Density Residential (R-6), Chapter 1715 The property to the south is
developed, in part, at a R-6 Density and the property to the north is developed at a
rural density Property to the east of the site is not in the City limits and is zoned
RR 1/5, Rural Residential by Thurston County The property to the west of the site
fronts on Killion Road and is zoned Commercial Zone (C-1), Chapter 17.26 and is
undeveloped
6 Townhouse Development. Townhouses are an allowed use in the R-6 District and
are subject not only to the standard subdivision design requirements but those of
Chapter 17 61 Lot standards require a minimum lot of 1,600 square feet, with a
minimum width of twenty feet. Setbacks are those of the underlying zone with the
exception of the front yard Chapter 17 61 requires a 25 foot front yard setback
rather than the 15/20 foot setback of the R-6 District. It is proposed that the
underlying front yard setback of 15 feet for the house and 20 feet for the garage be
applied to the subdivision
Also, Chapter 17 61 requires that no more the four abutting townhouses or
townhouse cluster shall have a common front building setback. Variation in
setbacks shall be at least four feet. It appears that all lots can meet the variation
requirements of Chapter 17 61, but in doing so the underlying rear yard setback
requirement of 25 feet can not be meet on lots 17 thru 20 It is proposed that lots
17 thru 20 comply with the setback variation requirement and reduce the rear yard
setback to 20 feet.
o
7 Open Space. Chapter 16 14 requires a minimum of five percent of the gross area
be dedicated as open space, which is 020 of an acre The open space must
provide one or more of the following uses. environmental interpretation or other
education, park, recreational land, or athletic fields, off-road footpaths or bicycle
trails, or any other use found by the City to further the purposes of the open space
chapter The ordinance suggests that open space should be dedicated to the City
The applicant has shown three tracts as open space for a total of 0 68 acres Tract
A in its entirety classifies for full credit towards open space Tract A represents
approximately 0 15 of an acre Tract B is a combination stormwater facility and
open space and represents approximately 0 50 of an acre The area used for
above ground stormwater facilities does not qualify for open space Tract C, along
the entry is a landscaped area of approximately 0 03 of an acre and would not
typically qualify as open space Because Tract B is a multiple use and only a
portion of it qualifies for open space and Tract C does not qualify at all it is
proposed that all three tracts remain in common ownership
As proposed the minimum open space requirement is satisfied Conceptually the
applicant has indicated open space improvements which include picnic tables, 0
barbecues and sidewalks with benches
c
8
Schools New residential units create a demand for additional school services and
facilities The Yelm School District requests that the developer enter into an
agreement with the school district for the payment of mitigation fees based on the
project's impact. This request became mitigation of the Environmental
Determination
9 Transportation and Site Access. The site frontages on Cullens Road and provides
an access to Lot 3 of Short Subdivision 8119 The Cullens Road access to Lot 3 is
proposed to be abandoned and two new access are proposed from the internal
streets of the subdivision
The Transportation Chapter of the Yelm Comprehensive Plan provides objectives
in which the Transportation Plan will be implemented The plan states
The objective of the Transportation Plan is to provide a cost-effective
network to accommodate travel in and around the core area To
accomplish this objective, Yelm will actively purse 1 A connected-streets
policy to promote the efficient flow of traffic within the community
The Design Guidelines implement the above objective through Section 4B020 4,
Design Standards," the layout of streets shall provide for the continuation of
existing principal streets in adjoining subdivisions or for their proper project when
adjoining property is not subdivided "
c
Also maximum cul-de-sac length allowed is 600 feet.
The design of the internal street system is a local access residential street. The
street that runs parallel with lots 13 - 20 is proposed to provide future access to the
properties to the north and possible the to south of the project site
The completed project will increase traffic and impact the City's transportation
system Chapter 15 40, Concurrency Management, requires all development to
mitigate impacts to the City transportation system A townhouse generates 0 60
P m peak hour trips per unit. The Transportation Facility Charge per unit is
$450 00 and payable at time of building permit.
10
Parking. Chapter 17 72, Off-Street Parking and Loading, requires minimum
parking ratio of two spaces per unit. The developer is proposing a double car
garage for each unit and a driveway approach that can accommodate two vehicles
11
Wastewater The project site is in the Sewer Service Area but is currently not
served by the City's STEP sewer system There is an existing 2" line available on
the adjacent property to the south The City Sanitary Sewer Plan requires a four
inch line along Cullens Road to service the site
o
The adjacent lots (Short Subdivision 8119, Lots 1 & 3) are currently served with on-
site septic systems Because of the close proximately of these systems the
proposed development is required to either design the subdivision around those
systems to ensure the septic systems and drainfields continue to function correctly
or abandoned the systems and connect the residences to the City S T E.P System
The applicant has elected to abandoned the systems and connected the residences 0
to the City S T E P System
The property is located within the Killion North LID District. Two Sewer ERU hook-
ups have been prepaid for this site ERU connection fees inside the LID are divided
into two methods of payment. The LID assessment fee of $1823 15 per unit is paid
on an annual basis for 15 years and the balance of the connection fee, $2,480 (fee
subject to change) is payable at time of building permit issuance The LID
assessment attached to this property is $36,463 00 At final plat, the assessment
will either need to be paid in full or segregated among the developed lots The City
is currently establishing LID segregation policy details
12. Water Supply The proposed site is in the City's water service area but is currently
not connected to the City's water system There is an existing 8" water line located
to the south at the adjacent property line Based on the City's Water
Comprehensive Plan the 8" line is adequate for future water service
13 Drainaae/Stormwater The completed project will increase impervious surfaces on
the site and adjacent streets. Impervious surfaces create storm water runoff
When uncontrolled and untreated storm water runoff can create health and safety
hazards YMC requires all development to comply with the Stormwater Manual for
the control and treatment of stormwater runoff
The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Stormwater Report that estimates the
impervious surface, infiltration rates of the runoff, and a conceptual design for
treatment and storage of the stormwater Following preliminary plat approval the
City Stormwater Manual requires the developer to submit a final plan consistent
with the final impervious calculations for the site
o
Stormwater facilities require continued maintenance to ensure they remain in
proper working condition
14 Fire Protection Fire protection is provided by the Thurston County Fire District #2.
As development occurs there will be additional demands for fire service
15 Police Protection Police protection is provided by the City ofYelm As
development occurs there will be additional demands for police service
16 Street Lightina. Adequate street lighting will be required for this project.
17 Landscaping. Landscaping and screening are necessary to promote safety, to
provide screening between compatible land uses, to safeguard privacy and to
protect the aesthetic assets of the City Chapter 17 80, Landscaping, requires the
applicant to provide on-site landscaping for all development proposals
The western property line is adjacent to property zoned Commercial (C-1)
Chapter 17 80 requires a 15 foot buffer of Type I landscaping along property
boundaries which have conflicting zone designations
o
o
o
c
The applicant has submitted a conceptual landscape plan that adequately identifies
the type and location of iandscaping as required by the code
Chapter 17 80 requires that at time of civil plan review and approval the applicant
provide the Community Development Department a final landscape and irrigation
plan for approval
18 Environmental Review: After review of the environmental checklist and supporting
documents, a Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance (MDNS) was issued on
May 10, 2000 The comment period expired on May 24, 2000 The MDNS is
attached as Exhibit III
19 Public Comment. Public comment was received on the Environmental
Determination from DOE and the Yelm Community Schools. The comments from
DOE are incorporated in the City's Development Guidelines and Stormwater
Manual as Construction Best Management Practices The comment letter from the
School District was included in the environmental mitigation.
20 FindinQs and Conclusion. Chapter 16 12.170 requires written findings prior to a
decision on a preliminary plat. Based on the project as proposed by the applicant
and the conditions of approval below, the staff finds that the subdivision
A.
Adequately provides for the public health, safety and general welfare and
for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets, potable water supplies,
sanitary wastes, parks and recreation, schools, sidewalks,
B That the public use and interest will be served by the platting of such
subdivision and dedications,
C The subdivision is in conformance with The Yelm-Thurston County Joint
Comprehensive Plan, the City Zoning Ordinance and the City's
Development Guidelines

Public Hearing - Conditional Use Permit - Case #MPD-OO-8246- YL
Applicant. Yelm Prairie Development Company Proposal Mixed Use Planned
Development including an 8-plex cinema, retail and office space, restaurant, fitness
center and hotel expansion Project location' The project site is bound by Yelm
Avenue East, 103rd Avenue SE and West Road SE, Yelm WA. Tom Gorman opened
the public hearing at 4 01 p m Mr. Gorman then asked if any of the Planning
Commission (PC) members had a conflict of interest? Margaret Clapp explained that
she will abstain from any voting today, as she is attending the meeting as a
representative of the Prairie Development Company John Thompson, City
Councilman also stated that he is attending today as a representative of the Prairie
Development Company and he will not participate in the City Council meeting when
this project goes before the City Council Mr. Gorman asked if any member of the
Planning Commission had received any information prior to the hearing? No Mr.
Gorman asked the applicant if there were any conflicts of interest with any of the PC
members? No Cathie Carlson then handed out a comment letter received 3/31/00
(after pc mailing) for the PC members to review and then she gave a staff report.
Shelly Badger discussed some water issues Ms. Carlson went over the conditions
of approval, and stated that she would like to have some language added, to include
{elm Planning rommission
April 3 2000
Page 1
o
Page 6, #4b - "in the future as development and infrastructure improvements occur,
the City will re-evaluate the access" Also, "at some point in the future, as we have
our streets improved, when the Stevens connector gets done - it may be ok to have
that as a full access on Fourth Street, but at this time we are limiting it because of the
condition of our existing infrastructure - so we'd like to leave that open in the future
so that it may be possible" Ms. Carlson then asked Shelly Badger to explain further
the water conditions - Ms. Badger did so by showing the referenced area on a map -
and explaining where the 8" main will go Ms. Carlson stated there is also a lot of
concern about the 'no left turn' onto West Road which is proposed - one of the
conditions is to put a traffic calming device in to discourage people from turning left
onto West Road from the West Road access point (from the cinema) - at this point the
city is not going to require the traffic calming device - we will monitor it as the project
develops Perry Shea, of SCA Engineering, explained the traffic light situation at the
Intersection of Clark Road and Yelm Avenue One of the conditions of approval is to
install the signal, but the Washington State Dept. of Transportation (WASDOT) has
the authority on when that signal actually gets turned on, and he is hoping it will be
turned on at the time of the opening of the cinema, but it is based on traffic warrants-
and if the traffic warrants do not meet the needs or criteria - then it will not be turned
on The city does not operate or maintain the traffic signals on the state highways,
WASDOT does Ms. Carlson went over the comment letter received from the
Kirkbride Group Mr. Gorman asked for comments from the applicant. Beth Dwyer
and Brenda Toole of GGLO, LLC Architecture and Interior Design of Seattle,
introduced themselves Ms. Dwyer gave a presentation
c
Mr. Gorman asked for comments from the public Ronald Simmons, 410 West Road,
Yelm, spoke of his concerns regarding the safety issues, present and future, of West
Road Larry Schorno, 18217 Hwy 507 SE, Yelm, stated that he is a proponent of this
project, very excited for it, but concerned about the bank's access (First Community
Bank.) Margaret Clapp and Brenda Toole expanded on this issue - stating that as the
project progresses and they know exactly what will be completed at what time etc ,
then they will know more on the bank access - but no matter what, the access will be
there, and will be available - whether it is graveled or paved
Frank Kirkbride 4405 7th Ave SE, Lacey WA, reiterated Mr Schorno's comments -
applauding the applicants and their team working on this project, but is also
concerned about the bank's access, wants to make sure the bank's customers will be
taken care of, would like to see a permanent access
Donna Wilson-Edwards, 10831 Vancil Rd SE, Yelm, said she represents some of the
property owners along Fourth Avenue - stated that they had not been notified by the
developers, but the property they own, which across from the proposed ingress - is
all vacant and they would not be opposed to the developers expanding the ingress
o
yelm Planning Commission
April 3 2noO

c
to an ingress/egress, by improving Fourth Avenue between Van Trump Ave and
Yelm Ave - it would solve some of the concerns that residents have along West
Road, as well as the issues at hand concerning Gordon's Garden Center along
Fourth Ave - if that area was improved or widened - maybe some of the "near
pedestrian accidents" wouldn't happen as much
David Asher, 404 West Road, Yelm, he is also very concerned about the safety
problems along West Road - he would like to see the West Road problems solved
first. Gordon Kampfer, owner of Gordon's Garden Center- 204 Fourth St NE, Yelm,
commended Prairie Development Company on this project, but stated that there are
some serious problems from his point of view The proposed cinema building will
block his businesses view of Mt. Rainier - which has become "Gordon's identity" in
many ways Mr. Kampfer then passed around a computer generated photo of what
the cinema building will do to their view of the mountain Roberta Longmire asked
what would happen if the cinema was moved to the other corner of the property, near
West Road? Mr. Kampfer stated that it would solve the problem, or if it was moved
closer to Yelm Avenue Kellie Petersen, the General Manager at Gordon's Garden
Center emphasized that the traffic concerns on West Road are hers too
c
Mr. Gorman asked if there were any more comments from the public? Mr. Simmons
stated that he liked the Fourth Avenue improvements idea that Ms Wilson-Edwards
suggested Mr. Gorman asked if the Planning Commission members had any further
questions or comments? Ms. Longmire asked about the West Road improvements?
Ms. Carlson stated that West Road will be widened
Bob Isom asked about the ingress/egress on Fourth Avenue - how will the city ensure
that It remains one way? And how will we make sure it will be enforced as a one
way? Ms. Carlson stated a signage plan will be implemented, and the access itself
is very narrow - so that it is not enticing to drivers - it will be clearly a one way lane
Brenda Toole addressed - they have done many things to discourage people from
trying to exit at one point. One of the devices they will do - is to make a one-way loop
with angled parking - the only way to get into that is to enter on the entrance side
They are also considering putting in some type of concrete and pavement in to deter
people from exiting onto Fourth Avenue Chief Glenn Dunnam added that putting in
these one-way type signs and alternatives does work, as it has next to the telephone
company Mr. Kampfer asked how are the Hertz Rentals' trucks going to get out?
Ms. Toole said they are making a six month adhesion to this plan, and they will trim
off the corner, so that Hertz will be able to come out of their property on the back side
and exit out through the cinema property Mr. Isom asked what the distance is
between the first parking lot entrance and the main entrance to the project off of West
Road? Ms. Toole said 200 feet. Mr. Isom asked why would a left hand turn be
allowed out of one entrance but not the other - onto West Road?
o
Yelm Planning Commission
April 3 2000
Page 3
c
Ms. Toole stated that left hand turns are allowed at both places, but at one point the
left hand turn is going to be made very unattractive, to deter drivers from exiting that
way
Ms. Badger stated that the city spent a lot of time on this very issue, trying to figure
out the traffic report, the mitigation, etc - its been very hard to figure a proposed
recommendation, but the city does have as a priority in its 6-year plan, the full
improvement of West Road, taking out that corner and connecting to Stevens The
city has tried to think ahead to that road being finished - which it will be some day,
and we are thinking ahead to applying for federal grants to have that road fixed in the
future Mr. Isom asked about the peak times and traffic counts - the peak time of 7-8
p m may be fine for the winter months, but what happens during the summer months
when the cinema is open from 11 00 a m - until late at night? Mr. Shea addressed,
stating that he has done numerous studies for cinema's around the puget sound area,
and even in the summer months the peak time is still between 7 and 9 p m The
busiest days and times are Friday and Saturday evenings, 9-930 pm Mr. Shea
explained further how he and others tried to design a layout that will work for
everyone, to provide the best circulation with the least impacts to a lot of people
o
Mr. Isom asked about the gas line easement - where is it on the map? Ms. Clapp
addressed, stating that it is there, it just isn't specified out. Mr. Gorman asked if there
were any further questions from any other Planning Commission members? Ray Kent
asked when is the Yelm Avenue improvement project going to happen? (between
First Community Bank and Third Avenue) Ms. Badger stated that there is a funded
project from Third Avenue to Five Corners - to repave Yelm Avenue, widen it and do
full sidewalk and planter strip frontage improvements The City has a grant for the
frontage improvement part - the sidewalks and the landscaping - and WASDOT has
the pavement part of it - which they had funded, but it is now in the "post 1-695" hole
The City is working with WASDOT to try to figure out how it will all be done It will not
be done In 2000 - hopefully in 2001 That is why it is listed in the conditions for the
cinema project - where they will provide the signal, frontage improvements and the
channelization for their project now, and then we would work out reimbursing them
in the future - for anything they did above and beyond their required share
Dr. Kent said he thinks it would help the traffic flow much better if we would just
temporarily block off the ingress from Fourth Avenue - keep the traffic off of Fourth
until we get the whole Yelm Avenue situation organized Ms. Wilson-Edwards
commented - that traffic signals are great, but anyone who travels every day through
Yelm knows the traffic is backed up every morning from one end of town to the other-
all on Yelm Avenue at the lights Everyone knows there is a short-cut, to take 103rd
to West Road, over on Van Trump and then onto First Avenue to the main traffic
signal - Ms Wilson-Edwards' mother lives on Van Trump and she sees the traffic

every day - it is horrendous Until something is done for the whole traffic flow - the
traffic is not going to be decreased on West, Fourth and Van Trump Ms. Carlson
stated that is why the city has a transportation plan, because those are current
problems that are the city's responsibility - they are not problems that this project
should have to address The city has a transportation program, we are aggressive
with it and we are working on those other issues
c
Mr. Gorman asked for any other questions from the Planning Commission? Ms.
Longmire stated that she has a few comments - 1) it doesn't seem to her that the
main entrance off of West Road has an adequate road either way you go 2) why
would it hurt anything to take the cinema building and move it to the other corner of
the property? Ms. Clapp addressed Ms Longmire - stating that they discussed and
reviewed this feature for a very long time, and one of the critical features is that they
have buildings massed together as best they can - and the way that the plan is now
is very pedestrian oriented, there IS a sense of critical mass of activities which makes
it an interesting place to go - it's a quality of life issue that has driven the design to be
what it is Ms. Dwyer added that if the cinema building was moved to the other
corner, there would be more traffic lights, there is not enough square footage room
for parking, and there is the retention and water issues - water can not be pushed up
hill - and it would end up in the parking lots etc - it has to be in a location where the
water can be retained on-site Dr. Kent asked if there ever was an alternative for the
building to be located somewhere else, as to not block Mr Kampfer's view? Ms.
Toole stated that at their open house meeting with the adjacent business owners, she
asked Mr Kampfer where could the cinema be moved? The only answer was that
corner at West Road - which for the optimum use of the project property - this did not
make a lot of sense for the project. Because that corner at West Road became the
primary site for all of the storm water runoff on-site, there is a natural flow from one
side to the other, and the one thing that is not seen on the plan is an infiltration pond
and a retention pond The other issue is, if the cinema is crunched up into that corner
(near West Road) all of a sudden there is another problem - where does the parking
go? Where would the traffic go? - the traffic would focus still on that corner at West
Road Ms. Longmire asked again why couldn't the parking go where the cinema
building is proposed to go now? Ms. Dwyer said that would be a huge parking lot, a
longer distance for people to walk - and there might be some neighbors who do not
wish to look at a parking lot that large Dr. Kent stated that his concern is if the
Planning Commission gives a rubber stamp 0 k. on this project, then in essence they
are endorsing a major litigation between the cinema project and Gordon's Ms.
Carlson added that Gordon's site is in two different districts - the Central Business
District and the C-1 Zone - and the cinema project is located in the C-1 Zone, and the
city's height limit in the C-1 Zone is a maximum building height of 40 feet, so under
the code - they have every right to build to 40 feet.

Ms. Badger added that the entire stretch of land across West Road is Commercially
zoned property - some day there will be full Commercial development on that side of
the road - and unless the regulations are changed - the future development( s) would
also be able to build to the 40 feet height limit, and there is view blockage potential
there also
John Thomson stated his concerns - in Phase 1, West Road will be upgraded to the
West, and then in Phase 2 it will be upgraded to the East - yet in reality we are
upgrading that section that goes nowhere - and since we are creating a major
thoroughfare through the center of the property, it would seem imperative to upgrade
it back down to 103rd Avenue in Phase 1 - because then at least as the traffic got out
there they could channel back to 103rd as an alternative to get out. Mr. Thomson's
other question was what would happen if the cinema and plaza locations were
switched - what would be the impacts? Ms. Clapp stated that it would destroy the
entire design concept of the whole project. Ms. Dwyer stated a "town center" plaza
is what their design creates, and if everything is switched, the "town center" is lost.
Mr. Gorman asked for any further questions from the Planning Commission There
were none
o
Ms. Clapp stated that she would like to point out a few things on issues which were
previously brought up The funding of the grant that the City received to do these
improvements was partly helped along by the fact that her project and other property
owners agreed to pay a portion of their matching funds - it raised the Yelm project on
the list for how the dollars were allocated, it made it more attractive and the City got
funded Also, prior to the Phase 2 - if the other property owners are willing to commit
to their pro-rata share of the frontage improvements - Ms Clapp said her project
would do the same - and this would make a dramatic difference when the City applies
for the funding In terms of Mr Kampfer, Ms. Clapp stated that they are talking with
him, and hoping that some of the mountain view will be protected for him, but she
knows that there is nothing stopping anyone from doing the same thing to her project
(blocking their view) Ms. Clapp stated that her development project and business
does want to be good neighbors with Mr Kampfer, Hertz Rentals, Arnold's and
everyone
Mr. Gorman reminded everyone that a public hearing was still taking place He then
asked if anyone else had any further comments? None Mr. Gorman stated what the
three options are 1) Request additional information from the applicant, 2) Continue
the Public Hearing, 3) Make a recommendation of action to the City Council Mr.
Gorman then made his comments he doesn't think it is a perfect plan, but you can
not get to perfection - there are compromises - there is "chicken and egg" type
situation always when it comes to improvements In terms of telling a proponent to
re-Iocate their building - when they are compliant with all the codes - Mr. Gorman
o

stated he has a problem with this, what's really happening then is a precedence is
being set saying - "anytime that we have a neighbor that has an issue with the
development that is planned and done in accordance with the Zoning - we're taking
in emotional issues which are easy to jump on but very difficult to address - and this
sets a very lousy precedence Mr. Gorman stated he is in favor of this proponents
project. Mr. Gorman then closed the public hearing, and asked the Planning
Commission members to make a motion to proceed with one of the three courses of
action previously talked about.

Mr. Gorman asked for any further comments, discussion? Mr. Thomson stated that
there was a previous comment regarding the allowance of ingress or egress on
Fourth Avenue until Phase 2 Ms. Clapp addressed, stating that she would argue this
really strongly She stated that her company fought very hard about the Fourth
Avenue access - they thought it should be a full access or an "exit only" - and she
ended up giving in to the City on this issue Ms. Clapp stated that she would not want
it taken away, especially If they are going to have to do the improvements on West
Road Ms. Carlson added that in Phase 2 it doesn't require any more improvements

4 Existing Land Use Prairie hotel, residential with the majority of the site
vacant.
5 Adiacent Land Uses Commercial, residential and vacant property
6 Zoning The site is zoned C-1 Commercial District, Chapter17.26 All
adjacent properties are zoned C-1 Commercial District, Chapter 17 26
7 Transportation and Site Access. The site has road frontage on E. Yelm
Avenue, 103rd Street, 4th Avenue and West Road The existing access to
the site is on 103rd Street. The applicant proposes a full access at E. Yelm
Avenue which aligns with the new alignment of Clark Road, an access from
4th Avenue, two full accesses and two driveway accesses on West Road
The City of Yelm has designed and funded a street improvement project on
E Yelm Avenue Those improvements include the realignment of Clark
Road, a center turn lane on E. Yelm AvenuE:.r. planter strip and sidewalk.
While the City has funded the project it is unknown at this .time when the
improvements will be complete
Traffic using the 4th Avenue access will be traveling to the sit~ via Van
Trump and Jefferson Streets NeitherVan Trump or Jefferson Streetcm:r:d;;"
built to City standards. It is estimated that with a full access at 4th Avenue ."'~g
this will increase neighborhood traffic during the Saturday peak hour (7 00 '
to 8 00 pm) to 42 trips and a Monday thru Thursday average of 450 daily
trips By limiting the 4th Street access to an entrance only, those trips would
be reduced to approximately 19 trips and a Monday thru Thursday average
of 285 daily trips
Traffic using the West Road access will be traveling to the site from 103rd
Avenue West Road is not built to City standards The Traffic Impact
Analysis estimates approximately 16 (8 in and 8 out) new trips during the
peak hour and 160 daily trips
The City's Concurrency Ordinance, requires all development to mitigate
impacts to the City transportation system The Traffic Impact Analysis

Parking. Chapter 17 72, Off-Street Parking and Loading, requires minimum
parking ratios and loading areas. The variety of uses have different parking
ratios Staff has reviewed the parking plan and finds that the project meets
minimum standards. At this time no loading areas have been proposed As
building plans are submitted staff will review each plan to ensure minimum
loading areas are provided
8
Wastewater The project site is served by the City's public STEP system
The lines that serve the site are located on Yelm Avenue, 103rd Street and
West Road
9
Water Supply The project site is served by the City's public water system
The line that currently serves the site comes from 4th Avenue and runs
"cross country" to the Prairie Hotel Gordon's Nursery and A-1 Rentals are
also served from this line The water system map shows the water line on
Yelm Avenue and the existing line on-site as the service lines for the site
Sufficient fire flow is not present for the project without the extension of the
8" main from the northwest West Road parking lot access northwest on
West Road, continuing south on 4th Avenue and connecting to the Van
Trump and Jefferson Street 8" tees
The West Road watennain from the project's West Road northwest parking
lot access southeasterly to 103rd Avenue is not necessary for Phase 1 of the
project. Furth~r,.analysis needs to be conducted as to the reqLJirement of

Drainage/Storm water The completed project will increase impervious
surfaces on the site and adjacent streets Impervious surfaces create storm
water runoff When uncontrolled and untreated storm water runoff can
create health and safety hazards
Page 3 of 9
The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Stormwater Report that
estimates the impervious surface, infiltration rates of the runoff, and a
conceptual design for treatment and storage of the stormwater
o
Following land use approval, the City Stormwater Manual requires the

ATTACHMENT
SEPA CASE #8241
This Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance is based on the project as proposed and impacts and mitigation
reflected in the following:
.
Environmental Checklist, prepared by SCA Engineering, dated January 2000
.
Traffic Impact Analysis, prepared by heffron transportation, inc., dated February 11, 2000
.
Preliminary Drainage Report, prepared by SCA Engineering, dated January 2000.
.
Tree Retention Plan, prepared by Sound Urban Forestry, dated February 14, 2000.
And the following conditions:
1 The applicant shall submit a demolition plan for all structures on the project site. The demolition plans
shall address the presence of asbestos and lead paint. Demolition of any buildings containing asbestos
and/or lead paint shall require a permit from the Olympic Air Pollution Control Authority
2.
Yelm Avenue Site Entrance/Clark Road Intersection - Following the completion of Phase 1 (6-plex
cinema), the intersection level of service (LOS) will degrade to LOS F during the evening peak traffic
period. The installation of a traffic signal system will improve operations to acceptable conditions. The
following improvements will be installed by the project developer'
Cl
A. The applicant shall install a complete traffic signal system to operate the new site access
and Clark Road intersection with Yelm Avenue. The project is not solely responsible for
the cost of the signal system. The project will be responsible to construct the signal for the
Phase 1 development and will be credited approximately 30-40% of the cost towards the
Transportation Facility Charge (TFC). The actual credit will be determined by the City
B. The project developer will be required to coordinate with the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) to obtain approval for the new signal installation.
A signal permit application will need to be completed and approved by WSDOT
C If the City improvement project to Yelm Avenue East is not constructed prior to the
completion of Phase 1, the project developer will be responsible to add left-turn lanes on
Yelm Avenue and realign Clark Road. The left-turn channelization on Yelm Avenue will
be built to a "core" road standard. The Clark Road realignment will also be constructed to
a "core" road standard and will align with the proposed project site entrance The
improvements will be constructed in accordance with the design drawings prepared by
WSDOT The cost of these improvements will be credited against the project's TFC
contribution.
3
Site Entrance at 4th Avenue - Currently the site plan shows a full access to 4th Avenue from the primary
cinema parking lot. During peak show times (Friday evening and Saturday matinee), the primary exit for
movie patrons will be the 4th Avenue access This will cause a significant amount of new traffic to use the
local residential streets when exiting the site. To reduce the potential of high traffic usage during these
peak periods, the site access at 4th Avenue will be restricted to in-bound movements only No exit will be
allowed The following provisions will be required.
c
A. Design 4th Avenue entrance to restrict out-bound movements. The project developer will
Exhibit IV - Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance

be required to submit a driveway access plan that delineates the signing and striping
treatments, curbing and/or other traffic devices that will preclude the use of this entrance
as an exit.
B Reconstruct the portion of 4th Avenue along the site entrance frontage. This will include
replacing the deteriorated gravel/oil pavement with a new asphalt pavement section. The
pavement will be designed in accordance with the Yelm Development Guidelines. The
pavement width will follow the residential neighborhood collector standard. A sidewalk
and/or pedestrian path will be installed at the entrance to allow a continuous pedestrian
facility form 4th Avenue to the cinema parking lot.
4 Traffic calming to Van Trump and Jefferson Streets - Limiting the 4th Avenue driveway to entrance only
will reduce the level of traffic using the local residential streets. However, even with the access restriction
to 4th Avenue, the in-bound traffic to the project site will impact these local streets. To mitigate this
impact, the project developer will be required to install traffic calming devices on the neighborhood
streets. The improvements will include:
A.
Design and install two traffic-calming devices on Van Trump and one device on Jefferson 0
Street to reduce vehicle speed on the roadways and to discourage the use of these streets
as destination routes to the project site. ,-
B
Provide detailed design plans of traffic calming device options that will provide the most
benefit. The project developer will work with the neighbors and the City in selecting the
final design and location of the traffic-calming devices.
5. TFC Contributions - In compliance with the City of Yelm Concurrency Ordinance, the project developer
must contribute $750.00 per new p.m. peak hour trip generated-by the project. Based on the new 307
trips associated with the total project (Phase 1 & 2), the developer will be responsible for a TFC of
$230,250 00 This TFC is calculated based on the best estimate of the commercial users for the project.
The TFC will change if the commercial land-uses are modified during project development. In addition,
the project developer will be entitled to economic benefit as provided for in the TFC Ordinance. The
project developer shall provide the City with the required information necessary for the City to determine
the actual credit.

Dear Yelm City Planners,
This letter is a concern about traffic on West Road. The road as it is today isn't adequate
to handle two lanes at once with out one lane having to hit holes on the side of the road.
If the traffic includes a truck or bus then the other lane has to stop and let the larger
vehicle have the middle of the road. This is common knowledge for those that are using
the road now. With this in mind Yelm should be very concerned about additional traffic
that will come when the movies bring in more traffic to the area.
o
You have indicated there will be more traffic so I would suggest limiting the new traffic
in the area between Van Trump and West Rd intersection and the other side of the Wolf
residence. This section is the worst due to the narrow road, telephone poles, holes on the
side of the road, tree roots causing uneven road, the sharp bend at the comer of West and
4th street. I suggest only having an exit on the West Road going right from the movie to
I03rd Street. This would limit any concerns about the most dangerous part of the West
Road. I have not thought about the 4th Street traffic but since that road is short and
narrow it isn't much for letting more traffic on it either. Yelm has a long ways to go
before the town can seek more traffic without preparing the roads for the growth. This
responsibility has to be a serious one and a planned one. Plans are not enough without
the resources to carry out the plans. We are all aware of the large traffic problem that
takes place each weekday morning and evening. Yes there is a planned by pass but with
out resources it doesn't help the hundreds of people that are in the traffic each day.

Dear City ofYelm Planners,
I would like to address the issue of increased traffic on West road due to the entrance and
exit that is planned with the new theater complex. The idea of further development in
Yelm is very exciting. I have been a resident here since 1968, and I have watched the
little town grow to a nice sized city. The problem with growth is you have to have proper
planning. I know you are aware of this and are doing the best you can. We must use good
judgment in our decisions.
West road is not built to city standards. Any further development on this road will make
matters worse. I am concerned about the safety ofthe 4th street comer. Also the traffic in
front of Gordon's nursery is very dangerous for pedestrian traffic. Ifwe add any more
traffic to this area we are inevitably asking for an accident. WestToad should be brought
up to standards before any extra traffic be added.
o
I also would like to address the issue of city sewer and water along West road. I feel it is
very important to develop these utilities as growth occurs. If this is not done at this time
we would be amiss in good future planning.
In summation, I would like to say please look at the safety of the local residents in the
area surrounding this development. I know you would not like to see anyone injured due
to sub standard city development.
Thank you,
Honnie Simmons

Dear Ms. Carlson:
We have received and reviewed the subject proposal and have the f'Ollowing comments:
c
· We understand that thc City and WSDOT have discussed the realignment of Clark Road. According to Neil
Campbell, WSDQT Tumwater Project Office P.E. the WSDOT may no longer be in a position to financially
participate in the Clark Roadrcaligntnetlt. Regardless of our participation, Clark Road is to be designed lobe
in direct alignment WIth the entrance to Prame Park Development as a conditIOn of any nCW signal. TIns design
would facilitate Clark Road entering SR 507 at 90 degrees.
· WSDOT signal plan approval at proposed locations will remain contingent on the review of additional
materials as requested in the attached WSDOT memorandum. .-
· We require signal interconnect with the adjacent SR 510/507 and Vaneil Rd, signal systems be included m the
project.
· Regarding the Heffron Transportation, Inc. Febmary 11,2000 Prairie Park TIA, page 24, Transit and Non-
Motorized Facilities. The report indicates that additional bicycle traffic arc cxpccted to be small. StatiStICS all
mdicate that utilitanan bicycle use traffic is increasing at a dramatic pace. We would also like to call attention
to a possible bicycle-pedestrian safety issue. The last sentence implies that bicyclists are to use sidewalks. In
nearly every case bicycles on sidewalks are a hazard to both the bicyclist and the pedestrian. It is highly
suggested that bicyclists be accommodated In another fashion as we strongly discouraged them from uSIng
sidewalks.
Thank you for the opportunity to review tlus proposal. lfyou have any questIOns n:garding tm.-sc comments, please

Developer Review Traffic Analysis
Additional information is needed to properly determine the need for a new signal at the
proposed access to SR 507. The consultant's traffic impact analysis states the results but
shows no documentation supporting these results. We ard'''equesting the following
documentation:
o
. Signal wauant analysIs
. Signalized intersection analysis for proposed signal
If the above documentation supports the results as stated in the report then we require that
Clark Road be realigned as part of the proposed signal installation. We also require that
the new signal be interconnected wIth the existing signal at Vancil Road and the existing
signal at the SR 507/SR 510 intersection. We are also requesting analysIs of possible
Hopaets of the proposed signal to these existing upstream and downstream signals.
If you have any questions please call me.
