BACKGROUND'
In 1994, the Yelm City Council approved the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan. The
approval provided the framework and conditions for Final Master Plan and project approval{s)
An Environmental Impact Statement and Addendum to the Environmental Impact Statement
were prepared as an element of the approval.
The Conceptual Master Plan was approved with a minimum density requirement of 3 5 units per
net developable acre and a maximum of 444 units per net developable acre, with a limit of
5,000 dwelling units. Two Golf Courses and Commercial Zoning were approved for a 30 acre
tract in the middle of the site and a 5 acre tract in the southwest area which would be located
near the Golf Course Club House Adequate provisions for open space, schools, streets, public
utilities and critical areas were required.
Yelm Municipal Code, Chapter 17.62060, Master Plan Development requires that a complete
master plan be submitted within three years of conceptual approval unless an extension has
been granted pursuant to Section 17 62 070 The Conceptual Master Plan Approval expired on
October 12, 1997 The City did not receive a request for extension approval

PUBLIC HEARING OBJECTIVE.
The Planning Commission shall review the application for completeness and, if it determines
that the proposed Master Plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the City's other
plans and policies, recommend approval by the Planning Commission If the Planning
Commission determines that the proposed Master Plan is not so consistent, it may either

BACKGROUND
In 1994, the Yelm City Council approved the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan The
approval provided the framework and conditions for Final Master Plan and project approval(s)
An Environmental Impact Statement and Addendum to the Environmental Impact Statement
were prepared as an element of the approval
The Conceptual Master Plan was approved with a minimum density requirement of 3 5 units per
net developable acre and a maximum of 4 44 units per net developable acre, with a limit of
5,000 dwelling units Two Golf Courses and Commercial Zoning were approved for a 30 acre
tract in the middle of the site and a 5 acre tract in the southwest area which would be located
near the Golf Course Club House Adequate provisions for open space, schools, streets, public
utilities and critical areas were required
Yelm Municipal Code, Chapter 17 62 060, Master Plan Development requires that a complete
master plan be submitted within three years of conceptual approval unless an extension has
been granted pursuant to Section 17 62 070 The Conceptual Master Plan Approval expired on
October 12, 1997 The City did not receive a request for extension approval
PROPOSAL.
The proposal is for Conceptual Master Plan approval and does not propose any changes from
the 1994 approved Conceptual Master Plan as described above The area encompasses
approximately 1800 acres and is located northwest of State Highway 507, southwest of State
Highway 510 in the area of Killion Road, referred to as the SW Yelm Annexation Area The
proposal
FINDINGS and CONCLUSIONS.
1 Proponent. Co-applicants Thurston Highlands Associates and Dragt/DeTray
2 Location Northwest of State Highway 507, southwest of State Highway 510 in
the area of Killion Road, referred to as the SW Yelm Annexation Area
3 Public Notice Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Nisqually Valley
News on October 8, 1999, and posted in public areas on October 7, 1999 The
notice was mailed to adjacent property owners and the applicant on October
7,1999
4 Existinq Land Use Vacant, rural residential and agricultural
5 Adiacent Land Uses Vacant, rural residential and agricultural
6 Zoning Master Plan Community
7 Soils and Geoloqy Nisqually loamy fine sand dominates the meadow areas and
along the creek bank, Spanaway sandy gravelly loam, and Spanaway sandy
loam are located on the eastern portion of the property Everett gravelly sand
loam and Yelm fine sandy loam can be found on the site Also, a small pocket of
Mukilteo muck was located close to some of the wetland areas
8 Wetlands. Yelm Critical Areas Map indicates a primary wetland system on the
northeastern portion of the site and numerous smaller wetlands in the
southwestern portion of the site
The original EIS for the Southwest Yelm annexation contains a wetlands map
and a wetlands study of the on-site wetlands The wetlands work performed for
the EIS was adequate to consider the impacts on the wetlands from the
annexation and the various development scenarios The proposal adequately
accommodates the identified on-site wetlands for Conceptual Master Plan
approval
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, Chapter 17 62, requires the applicant
to show the location of wetland areas within the Master Plan area and "for a
reasonable distance beyond the boundaries of the proposed development to
include adjacent or nearby lands where project impacts are relevant." It is critical
to consider the impacts of the Final Master Plan on wetlands, including adjacent,
Page 2 of 12
off-site wetlands
Prior to Final Master Plan approval the applicant must identify with greater detail
and perform further studies of all the on-site wetlands, the large wetland to the
south of the planning area and the wetlands to the north of the project area
associated with Thompson Creek.
9 Surface Water. Thompson Creek crosses the site, south to north, on the
westerly portion of the site Thompson Creek collects surface water runoff and
spring water from the south During heavy rainfall and high water periods the
water overflows both sides of the creek and floods low meadow areas During
the 1996 flood event(s) many residents along Thompson Creek experienced
flooding
The Flood Insurance Rate Map produced by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, categorizes Thompson Creek, inside the City limits, as a
Zone A. Zone A's are flood hazard areas that are inundated by 1 DO-year flood
events, but no base blood elevations have be determined
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, Chapter 17 62, requires the applicant
to show the location of flood plains and water courses within the Master Plan
area and "for a reasonable distance beyond the boundaries of the proposed
development to include adjacent or nearby lands where project impacts are
relevant." It is critical to consider the impacts of the Final Master Plan on
Thompson Creek and associated flood plains, including adjacent properties
Prior to Final Master Plan approval the applicant must identify with greater detail
and perform further studies of the flood plains associated with Thompson Creek
on site and to the north of the planning area
10 Ground Water Yelm Critical Areas Map indicates the site contains Category 1,
2, and 3 Aquifer Recharge Areas
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, Chapter 17 62, requires the applicant
to provide "any additional information as required by the planning department
necessary to evaluate the character and impact of the proposed master plan"
Prior to Final Master Plan approval the applicant must identify with greater detail
and perform further studies of the ground water and hydrology of the site
11 Transportation and Site Access. Access on the eastern portion of the site is from
Berry Valley Road, Longmire Street and Durant Street. Access on the
southwestern portion of the site is from Hwy 507 There is no access to the
northern or most westerly areas of the site
Berry Valley Road and Durand Street are not built to current city standards and
are not adequate to safely accommodate the additional traffic generated by the
proposed project.
Page 3 of 12
The applicant has proposed the main loop road through the planning area, from
Highway 507 along the Doyle/Bosequett parcels, through the golf course/single-
family residential area, intersecting with the North/South Corridor, and finally
connecting with Yelm Avenue along Berry Valley Road and to Killion Road The
main loop road is considered the primary essential corridor for the project.
Prior to City Council review of the proposed Master Plan, the applicants and the
property owners of the commercially zoned property along the primary essential
corridor should execute a reciprocal agreement that includes the right-of-way
dedication deed for public use To ensure that the primary corridor is viable the
applicant shall provide a record of survey for the right-of-way as an Exhibit to the
staff report prior to the City Council review of the project.
The second essential corridor for the project is the North/South connector This
corridor is located within the commercial area and is required to provide for the
connection of streets and adjacent services This corridor is located solely on
the Thurston Highlands Associates property The right-of-way dedication should
occur prior to Master Plan approval
The goals and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan
require new development to provide connected-streets to promote the efficient
flow of traffic within the community The internal street network shall meet this
goal and will be approved at time of Master Plan approval
The City's Concurrency Ordinance, requires all development to mitigate impacts
to the City transportation system Mitigation for off-site transportation impacts
include, but are not limited to, payment of the Transportation Facility Charge
The applicant shall complete a Traffic Study and Analysis prior to Final Master
Plan approval
12 Wastewater The project area is within the City's service area, however the City
does not have sufficient sewer treatment capacities for development of the entire
site The Master Plan area will be expected to provide sewer services and
infrastructure for all new development in the plan area
To ensure adequate capacities and the concurrent construction of infrastructure
the applicant shall provide a phasing plan for sewer service The phasing plan
shall also identify financing options The phasing plan shall be required at time
of Final Master Plan approval
13 Water Supplv The project area is within the City's service area, however the
City does not have sufficient water rights for development of the entire site The
Master Plan area will be expected to provide water service and infrastructure for
all new development in the plan area
To ensure adequate capacities and the concurrent construction of infrastructure
the applicant shall provide a phasing plan for water service The phasing plan
shall also identify financing options The phasing plan shall be required at time
Page 4 of 12
of Final Master Plan approval
14 Drainaqe/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
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, Chapter 17 62, requires the applicant
to provide a master drainage plan, including storm water control The applicant
must identify with greater detail and perform further study of the existing site
drainage and proposed drainage plan
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
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, the applicant shall identify impacts and
mitigation for development phases
16 Police Protection Police protection is provided by the City of Yelm As
development occurs there will be additional demands for police service
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, the applicant shall identify impacts and
mitigation for development phases
17 Schools The applicant has shown two potential school sites within the project
area The school sites may not provide adequate school facilities in relationship
to the project impacts
Also, the Southwest Yelm planning area is divided between the Yelm School
District and the Rainier School District. Section 28A.315 250 of the Revised
Code of Washington requires that each city and town be comprised in a single
school district. The statue does not necessarily place the burden for amending
the boundaries of a school district on a city In fact, it is the City of Yelm's
position that the burden is on either the school districts, the educational service
district or the applicant to propose and amend the school district boundaries
The applicant shall be responsible for negotiating within the Yelm and Rainier
School Districts, as well as their educational service district for the proper
modification to the school district boundaries
Prior to Final Master Plan approval the applicant shall enter into an agreement
with the Yelm School District for provisions for adequate school facilities
consistent with State nexus requirements and State funding programs for K-12
education
18 Open Space. The City's Master Plan Ordinance requires the applicant to locate
and show the relationship to local parks The city seeks to provide parks and
open space to nearly 10,000 projected residents of the Southwest Yelm planning
area
Page 5 of 12
The City's Open Space and Parks Ordinance requires new development to
dedicate five percent (5%) of gross area in single-family designations and ten
percent (10%) of gross area in multi-family designations
19 Landscapinq. 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
In addition, the original EIS identified mitigation measures that include buffer
areas around the project site to help form a separation between the proposed
development and some offsite agricultural and military uses
At time of Final Master Plan approval the applicant shall provide a buffer plan for
approval At time of development approval for each phase the applicant shall
provide a landscape plan for approval
20 Commercial Development. The applicant has proposed two areas for
commercial zones The primary commercial area is 30 acres, adjacent to the
North/South essential corridor
The City is concerned that commercial development in the Southwest Yelm
planning area will not only serve the customer base of the planning area, but will
also draw an unacceptable market share from existing established businesses in
the downtown and surrounding areas of the City Therefore, the City should
impose a limit of 330,000 square feet of commercial floor space in the primary
commercial area Also, commercial development should occur concurrently with
a population base in the planning area that can support the commercial uses
The City should restrict commercial development to 15,000 square feet of gross
floor area with the initial Master Plan At such time when 1250 dwelling units are
constructed and the entire primary essential transportation corridor (Loop Road)
is constructed, the remaining 315,000 square feet of gross floor area will be
allowed
The second commercial area is five (5) acres located in the southwest area of
the site and is intended to be centered around the golf course club house This
commercial node is adjacent to and is served by access from the main loop road
The city is similarly concerned with the market share that this node will draw from
downtown Therefore, the City should impose a limit of 15,000 square feet of
gross floor area
Because the Master Plan is its own zoning district, the Commercial District
development standards do not apply to commercial development in this planning
area To ensure the commercial development is consistent with City
development standards, the primary commercial area (30 acres) shall be subject
to the provisions of Chapter 17.26, Commercial Zone (C-1) and the secondary
commercial area (5 acres) shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 17 24,
Central Business District (CBD)
Page 6 of 12
21 Desiqn Guidelines For the commercial areas of the project site the City Design
Guidelines should be utilized to ensure commercial development is consistent
with City goal's and policy's The Design Guidelines require developers to
consider.
1 Site Planning - the location, orientation and relationships of
buildings, parking lots and other features
2 Pedestrian Access - pedestrian circulation, safety and comfort.
3 Vehicular Access and Parking - location and size of driveways,
access roads and parking lot.
4 Building Design - design elements anc character of built
structures
5 Site Design and Landscaping - character and qualities of
landscaping, open space and other site features
The primary commercial area (30 acres) shall be designated Village Retail The
secondary commercial area (5 acres) shall be designated Old Town
22 Environmental Review:
In February of 1993, the City of Yelm published an Environmental Impact
Statement for the annexation and development of the Southwest Yelm area
That EIS considered the impacts associated with annexation as well as various
conceptual development scenarios With this extensive environmental review in
place, the City determined that an addendum to the final Environmental Impact
Statement would satisfy the need to review additional information and analysis
for the original conceptual master plan review On July 11, 1994, the city of Yelm
issued an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the
Southwest Yelm Annexation
Staff Recommendation.
Staff recommends the project be approved with the following conditions of approval and that the
Planning Commission forward the proposal to the City Council for review and approval
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
1 DensitiesIDwellin9 Units

area shall not exceed 5,000 dwelling units This overall maximum is further
allocated to each ownership group within the Master Plan area according to the
attached Exhibits A, B, C
Page 7 of 12
b The minimum number of dwelling units in the Master Plan area shall be
computed on the basis of 3 5 dwelling units per net developable acre Net
developable acre is the land measurement remaining after subtracting required
open space, environmentally sensitive areas, parks, transportation and utility
corridors, and any other un buildable area The minimum density shall be applied
and enforced according to the minimum dwelling units allowed by the attached
Exhibits A, B, C
c Accordingly, therefore, development in the Southwest Yelm Master Plan shall be
between 3,946 dwelling units and 5,000 dwelling units
d Zoning Standards - To accomplish a balanced community the purpose of the
Conceptual and Final Master Plan is to write the zoning ordinance for the SW
Yelm Annexation area The Final Master Plan shall provide for a variety of
housing types Housing types may include single family detached, single family
attached, duplexes, zero lot line, manufactured homes, modular homes, and
townhouses Allocation of housing types shall not exceed 50% of anyone type
within a phasing area as identified in the Final Master Plan At the time of final
master plan application the applicant shall provide the city with development
standards for approval In the event the approved development standards for the
Southwest Yelm plan area, do not address a development standard, Chapter
17 15, Moderate-Density Residential District (R-6) shall govern
e If, after the complete build-out in any particular area within the Master Plan area,
the City determines that the net density in that particular area is below the
maximum net density allowed for that area, any remaining unused density may
be transferred in the form of dwelling units to another property owner within the
Master Plan area, subject to approval by the City Nothing in this paragraph shall
be deemed to allow development in excess of the overall maximum of 5,000
dwelling units in the Master Plan area
2. Transportation
a The Conceptual Master Plan approval requires the establishment of two
Essential Utility and Transportation Corridors The primary essential corridor is
the main loop road that connects to State Highway 507, loops through the
Thurston Highland Associates parcel, intersects the North/South essential
corridor (referred to as Y-1 corridor in previous approval), follows Berry Valley
Road and connects to State Highway 510 at Killion Road The main loop road
corridor will be constructed as a "Boulevard" under the Minimum Street Design
Standards adopted in the City's Development Guidelines
b The second essential corridor will serve as a North/South connector The
purpose of the north/south corridor is to provide for the connection of streets and
adjacent commercial services
c Thurston Highland Associates, Dragt/DeTray and the property owners of the
Page 8 of 12
commercially zoned property along the primary essential corridor shall execute a
reciprocal agreement to include the right-of-way dedication deed for public use
The applicant shall provide a record of survey as an Exhibit to the staff report
prior to the City Council public hearing for the Conceptual Master Plan approval

phases
e The Final Master Plan shall identify transportation infrastructure construction with
phasing Those phasing projects could include financing options to include a
developer extension, Local Improvement District, Latecomer's Agreement or
combination thereof
f The North/South Corridor shall be placed in a right-of-way deed of sufficient
width to meet City Development Standards at time of Final Master Plan approval
This will ensure that structures are not constructed in the area that could

Re Prairie View (MPD-98-8216-YL)
Dear Frank:
As you are aware, the Yelm Planning Commission took action to recommend approval of the
Prairie View Master Planned Development to the City Council in"October, 1999 This
recommendation was conditioned upon the developer obtaining access to SR 510 at the Killion
Road extension Specifically, the condition stated
Thurston Highlands Associates, DragtlDeTray and the property owners of the
commercial zoned property along the primary essential corridor shall execute a
reciprocal agreement to include the right-of-way dedication deed for public use The
applicant shall provide a record of survey as an Exhibit to the staff report prior to the
City Council public hearing for the Conceptual Master Plan approval
The right-of-way dedication will give each property owner the right to dedicate the entire
stretch of the corridor to the city in conjunction with Final Master Plan approval
Dedication will occur at a time of final project development approval by phases
In October of 2002, the City Attorney provided you with legal descriptions and dIrection on a
method to meet the Planning Commission's condition. In January of 2003, the City Attorney
responded to your request that he review a draft QUit Claim Deed As of today, nothing further
has been submitted to the City of Yelm regarding this matter
As there has been no significant progress towards completion of this project in well over a
year, the City of Yelm will consider it to be withdrawn unless a reciprocal agreement to Include
the right-of-way dedication deed for the Killion Road extension IS submitted within 30 days of
the date of this letter

Dear Mr K.1rkbnde
Please be advIsed that I am in receIpt of your correspondence to Shelly Badger dated February 27,
2001 wIth regards to the above referenced matter Although I was not present for the March 30,
2000 meetIng, I have reviewed the correspondence and notes prepared by Sandy MackIe and the CIty
of Yelm and understand that the formatIon of an LID was not a prerequisite to obtaInIng final
approval, however, your chents and the property owners of the commercIally zoned property along
the pnmary essentIal comdor, I e K.1lhon Road, need to execute recIprocal agreements that Include
the nght of way dedIcatIOn deed for public use and make n~ st~mRrovements, Whether
these Improvements are financed through an LID, latecomer's agreement or developer's extensIOn
or a COmbInatIOn thereof IS up to you and your chent.
I hope thIS clllilfies your understandmg of the reqUirements of the CIty of Yelm and should you have
any questIons or concerns WIth regard to the above, please do not hesitate to contact eIther myself
or Sandy MackIe I remaIn.
Very truly yours,

Re Prame VIew Master Planned Commumty
KIllion Road LID
IT ~~~U~~ff11
i MAR - 1 2001 ~
Dear Shelly;
Paul DeTray and Henry Dragt of the DragtJDetray LLC, our attorney, underwrIters, and I have
revIewed the matenal regardmg the proposed KIllian Road LID We offer the followmg comments.
Gammg the necessary approvals for our Prame VIew development has been an extremely long
and frustratmg process. We contmue to be very deSIrous on proceedmg rapIdly ahead WIth our proposed
development. Suffice It say that we have attempted to meet the CIty'S reqUIrements m a tImely manner
and m the SpIrIt of cooperatIOn to gam the approvals, mmdful of the complexIty of the Issues assocIated
WIth the development.
The CIty of Yelm Plannmg CommIssIon approved the mltIaI phase of the planmng process on
October 18, 1999 We understood that the only Issue needed to gam CouncIl actIOn of the conceptual
master plan was the development of an agreement between the property owners upon whIch the KIllion
Road extenSIOn was to be bUIlt so that each would dedIcate the land for the road when the tIme was
appropnate for road constructIOn. ThIS IS an understandable concept that allows each of the proposed
developments to proceed mdependent of the other
For some reason the nght of way dedIcatIOn reqUIrement has expanded mto a road and utIlIty LID
to serve the PraIrIe VIew development and the propertIes to Y elm Avenue In revIewmg the matenal
presented on March 30 2000, we were m agreement WIth the concept, our abIlity to pnvately deveiop
the Improvements, and the general wlllmgness of the property owners to proceed. However, we dId not
understand that formatIOn of the LID was the replacement for the Planmng CommISSIon's land
dedIcatIOn reqUIrement. AddItionally, we dId not understand the we must essentially form the LID
before we gam Conceptual Master Plan approval, Fmal Master Plan approval, and project development
approvals We object to thIS concept, prefernng the dedIcatIOn agreement now WIth the LID to follow
as appropnate
We are very mterested m provIdmg the fundmg for all or a sIgmficant part of the KIllion Road
proJect. However, our underwnters state that the fundmg must be duectly tIed to a speCIfic project that
has the abIlIty to repay the debt, such as the approved Prame VIew Master Planned Commumty
Conceptual approval of the Southwest Yelm Master Plan IS VIrtually meanmgless wIthm our
development planmng and fundmg process The Fmal Master Plan approval for Prame VIew IS a
sIgmficant step, but IS stIll not a fundable actIOn Approval of the mItlal speCIfic development project
IS the first actIOn that would assure funds for both the onsIte and off sIte (KillIon Road) Improvements
ThIS approval IS our most Important goal
" ~
Shelly Badger - City of Yelm
.; D Prame View Master Planned Commumty
Kilhon Road LID
February 27,2001
Page Two
In plannmg the road LID the City'S engmeers have allocated Dragt/DeTray LLC's project 35.8%
of the KillIon Road improvements ThiS was determmed at a tnp generatiOn of 703 vehicles based on
development of the 220 acres Thus, It stands to reason that when Dragt/Detray LLC has the abihty to
develop theIr 220 acre property to generate the 703 tnps then we would be very wIllmg to execute the
documents necessary to ImtIate the Local Improvement DIstnct. We don't understand how we could
do otherwIse
Dragt/DeTray wIll declare It'S mtent to form the LID now condItIoned on the final project
approvals If thIS IS a necessary step to proceed forward WIth the approvals The percent partIcIpatiOn
m the LID would be lInked, as It IS now, to the number oftnps the approved project would be expected
to generate, not a set number as currently proposed.
The proposed "CIty ofYelm ResolutiOn" and "PreformatiOn Agreement" must reflect the master
planmng and development approval process The approvals must come first WIth the necessary
reqUIrements for "off sIte Improvements" such as the proposed KIlhon Road, not the reverse
Weare very deSIrous to proceed rapIdly ahead WIth the plannmg and approval process for our
Prame VIew development. When we mItIated the approval process we were hopeful to have the first
resIdences mplace by mIddle of the summer 1998 With the PlannmgCommIssiOn's actiOn m late 1999
it appeared that this summer would be the heIght of development. We now are hopeful for the summer
of 200 1 and can not understand why thIS has taken so long
Please adVIse us how thIS can best be accomphshed m the shortest tIme possIble

Dear Shelly,
Re: Thurston Highlands: Yelm. Washington
I want to thank you very much for finding time in your busy schedule to see Mr DenniS Su and
myself on Friday, March 31, 2000 m your council chambers.
The purpose of our visit was to determine as best we could the reqmrements of the availability of
water rights for the Thurston Highlands ProJect, and I was surpnsed to learn that the
determination of water sources for the project is not an easy answer Although your mformatlOn
was disappomtmg, I was glad you shared with us that in 1998 the Washington Legislature passed
mto law ESHB 2514, the Washmgton Watershed Management Act which is essentially a process
to plan and manage water use within geographic areas or watersheds.
You advised us that the City is part of a Watershed Area # 11 known as the Nisaqually Watershed
and that the City is a member of the planning group that is charged with a responsibility of
assessing the needs of the area and would be responsible to co-ordinate with the state water use.
We understand that the Nisaqually Watershed is within its mfancy and, perhaps the Thurston
Highlands Project might participate m the process m order to assess the source, and needs in
order to expedite the Watershed Plan and Policies that need to be developed m order that the
Thurston Highland Project might have access for its immediate and long term water needs.
We are reviewmg the status of the Watershed reqmrements and we would like to meet you agam
in the very near future.

I am pleased to enclose a copy of our 1997 Residential Development Agreement between the
City of Calgary and my development company, 605668 Alberta Inc., which spells out m detaIled
form the contractual arrangement with our City for the full development of the lands and our Jomt
responsibilities. Of particular note to you, based on our discussions, was the method of cost
recoveries that can be Implemented Jointly by the City and ourselves. In particular there are two
(2) ways of recoveries that are applIcable in thiS agreement. They are as follows.
1 Recovery costs for boundary roads, lanes, and school lands which IS covered
under Clause 130; and,
2 Endeavours to assist in cost recovery which usually a circumstance where a
developer may front-end certain costs such as samtary sewers, storm sewers,
watermains, hydrants, roads and lanes, and extensIOn of any or all of these
utilIties which do not come under Clause 130 may be reflected in this area.
Essentially what happens if! am the lead developer, any subsequent developer
that may tie into the facilities described above that may be built by me, and is
tied into by a second or subsequent developers, the City undertakes to asSiSt me
to receive funds at Unit Rates based on a schedule that would be reflected in the
Development Agreement or using Unit Rates in effect at the time of the recovery
As you can see our Residential Development Agreements are very detailed and have been
formulated over the past 15 - 20 years and they are negotiated annually between the City
AdministratIOn and our negotmtmg committee of our local Urban Development Institute m order
to maintain fairness and currency
\1 look forward to seeing you sometime in early May

proJect.
2 The staff report dated October 12, (copy enclosed) that was avaIlable at the pubhc
heanng provIdes a summary of the Issues WhIch are relevant to the project and type
of land use apphcatIon bemg consIdered by the CIty As the staff report mdIcates
and through staff testImony at the pubhc heanng, the land use apphcatIOn bemg
consIdered at thIS tIme IS a Conceptual Master Plan. The purpose and mtent of a
Conceptual Master Plan IS to establIsh general land use pohcIes to gUIde detailed
planmng for and development of the master plan area. The conceptual plan
IdentIfies the generalIzed land uses, transportatIon cIrculatIOn routes and servIces
proposed for the SIte When and If an apphcant receIves conceptual master plan
approval, the next approval they are reqUIred to obtam IS Fmal Master Plan approval.
When and If a final master plan apphcatIon IS submItted for the project SIte, the
apphcant shall be reqUIred to proVIde detailed envIronmental studIes to detenmne
necessary mItIgatIon. Surroundmg property owners (wIthm 1000') and agencIes on
the CIty maIhng hsts will be notIfied If a Fmal Master Plan ApphcatIOn IS receIved

project. The CIty dId not receIve any comments from those agencIes/organIZatIOns,
other than from DOE.
It IS unlikely that the City Council will be reVIewmg the conceptual master plan applIcatIon before
Apnl, however when the publIc heanng IS scheduled you will be notIfied at least 10 days m advance.
The file for the land use applIcatIOn IS publIc record and you are welcome to reVIew It at any tIme

SW Yelm Master Plan - CommercIal Use wIth Golf Course
At the publIc heanng for the Conceptual Master Plan approval the representatIve for Thurston
Highlands Associates, requested addItIOnal commercIal m the area of the Golf Course Club
House The ongmal approval allowed 15,000 sq ft of commercial use assocIated WIth the Golf
Course on a five area tract and 330,000 sq ft of commercIal m the center of the project on 30
acres. The concern raised by the applIcant was that a smgle restaurant WIth banquet facIlItles
could consume most of If not all of the 15,000 sq ft. Between now and next Wednesday's SPR
meetmg, I wIll research other golf course's regardmg SIze of pro shop's, restaurants, banquet
facIlItIes and other uses that would normally be associated WIth a golf course There are probably
many ways m whIch we could approach the commercIal SIze and use Here are a couple
examples
1 Restnct uses to a very specIfic lIst of uses. ThIS could mclude restnctIOns on the
SIze of mdIvIdual uses or Just an over all lImIt of sq ft at full commercial buIld-out.
2 Allow uses from a zomng dIstnct m the current zomng code, but restnct the
maXImum sq ft of all uses allowed.
Weare not hmlted to these approaches, I would Just like to have a general consensus on the
staff s pOSItIOn, pnor to meetmg WIth the applIcant to dISCUSS the Issues. The staff wIll need to
make a final recommendatIOn to the CIty CouncIl.

Enclosed is the staff report dated October 12, 1999, for the renewal of the Conceptual Master
Plan Approval Pages 8 - 13 are the proposed conditions of approval and Exhibit's A, B & C
summarize the land uses for the site The Planning Commission recommended that the City
Council approve the Conceptual Master Plan, but that the application not be forwarded for the
Council's consideration until item 2(c ), Transportation is completed by the applicants The
applicants are in the process of meeting this condition and I anticipate it's completion in late
1999 or early 2000 At such time the application will be forwarded to the City Council for
consideration and action
I have also included the Yelm Zoning Map with the Master Plan Community outlined with a pink
highlighter The dashed black line running north and south (highlighted) indicates the
separation of the two main property ownerships The two 8 x 11 5 sheets are the conceptual
layouts for the two primary properties involved in the Master Plan Community At this time
there are no conceptual layouts for the other properties (see Exhibit C in the staff report) in
the Master Plan Community

To Note to File - MPD-98-8216-YL, SW Conceptual Master Plan
From Cathie carlso~ty Planner
Re Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance
Citizens at the Public Hearing on October 18, 1999, for the above referenced project raised
concerns regarding the adequacy of the MONS and stated their belief that the Environmental
Impact Statement for the SW Yelm Annexation, 1993, and the Addendum to the Final
Environmental Impact Statement, 1994, had expired Also, a comment letter from Kari
Rokstad, DOE, dated September 29, 1999, on the MONS suggested that the City withdraw the
MONS, citing WAC 197-11-600 (3) Based on these comments, I took the following steps
1 On Monday, October 18, 1999, I consulted with the City Attorney, Sandy Mackie, on
withdrawing the MONS Even though the project was the same proposal, it is his
opinion that an environmental checklist and subsequent MONS were necessary to
evaluate if there were indeed any changes that would require additional environmental
analysis for conceptual master plan review
2 On Tuesday, October 19, 1999, I spoke with Barbara Richie, DOE regarding the
process and procedure the City utilized In her opinion, the City's procedure was not
inconsistent with the State Environmental Policy Act. She advised me to make a note
to the file
Based on the information in the files, the previous environmental documents and the opinions
stated above In No 1 & 2, no further environmental action will be taken by the City, with the
exception of the required mitigation in the MONS issued on September 16, 1999

Applicant DragtlDeTray and Thurston Highlands Associates
Proposal" Conceptual Master Plan for 1860 acres with a residential density
between 4800 - 5000 units (max. 5000 units - min 3946 units) The
proposal includes 2 golf courses, 37 acres of parks and open space, 31
acres for schools and 30 acres for buffers and rapid infiltration areas for
water reuse Project location Southwest Yelm
Glenn Blando opened the public hearing at 4 05 P m Glenn asked if any of the
Planning Commission members had a conflict of interest? There was none
Glenn asked if any member of the Planning Commission had received any
information prior to the hearing? Bob Isom said he had, because he is an
adjacent property owner to the project Glenn asked the
applicanUrepresentatives if they had any conflicts of interest with any of the
other PC members? The answer was no Cathie Carlson gave the staff report,
beginning with the history of the project, concluding with staff
recommendations Glenn asked for comments from the
applicants/representatives Steve Speidel of RW Thorpe & Associates, spoke
on behalf of Thurston Highlands Associates Mr. Speidel stated the company

mailing address for the record, and gave a presentation, which started with
a large color conceptual master plan (posted on the wall/white board, for
everyone to see) - similar to the original master plan as proposed, and a
different color graphic was handed out to all Planning Commission (PC)
members This graphic detailed some of the wetlands that have been
mapped in the past as they relate to the conceptual master plan, these
graphics will be further mapped and identified as far as exact locations are
concerned before any final master planning or development will happen on
the site
Mr. Speidel stated that a main concern of his is item 4B, page 11 of the staff
report, the limiting of 15,000 square feet of commercial use to the small 5
acre commercial area around the golf course/club house, (Mr Speidel
pointed this area out on the large map) The other commercial area (larger
commercial area on map) has as much as 330,000 square feet of
commercial use, which works out to approximately 11,000 square feet of
commercial area per acre, Mr. Speidel said that it seems rational to allow the
5 acre area to have as much as 55,000 square feet of commercial use in it.
Mr. Speidel reaffirmed that they do not wish to draw commercial
opportunities from the center of town out to this area, but simply provide for
the people that will live in this area Mr. Speidel suggested the 15,000 sq ft
in the small commercial area be limited to the building of the first 2500 units,
after that, the full 55,000 sq ft could be implemented - comparable to the
other commercial area Mr. Speidel stated that his hopes are to create a
"mini" commercial area - a mini "old town" per the city's guidelines - an area
for those living close by In the town homes - so they don't have to get in their
cars and drive to take care of small errands etc Mr. Speidel stated that he
is available to answer any questions, and then he asked the Planning
Commission and staff to consider this proposal and concluded by thanking
everyone for their time
Frank Kirkbride, with the Kirkbride Group, representing the DragtlDeTray
portion of the project, approximately 220 acres in the East section of the
Thurston Highlands project. Mr. Kirkbride stated his business address for
the record, and said that like Mr Speidel, he and hiS associates have also
been working with the City of Yelm and the local community for a number of
years, planning a community that we can all be very proud of Mr. Kirkbride
stated the plans that will come as a result of the conceptual approval will
certainly reflect the guidelines that city staff has shared today, and Mr
Kirkbride's goal is to take it a step further, with considerable passive
recreation, considerable wetland and Wildlife habitat protection and
enhancement. The community that IS being planned will be a very
comfortable, traditional type neighborhood Primary emphasis will be on
quality of life Issues, and also to try to minimiZe any impacts to the rest of the

community Mr. Kirkbride stated that his company has acknowledged each
element of the conceptual approval, they don't necessarily like them all - but
given the regulatory process that they are in, they accept them Mr. Kirkbride
stated that his company and clients are very anxious to move forward with
the Master Plan approval, and then the first phase of their project - as soon
as these conceptual approvals are granted Mr. Kirkbride stated that he did
not bring a map and plan of their project, but he is available to answer any
questions Mr. Kirkbride thanked the Planning Commission and staff for their
time
Glenn asked if there were any questions or comments from the public? Erna
Powers of Cullens Road, Yelm, asked if property taxes will be raised, and if
the Police Department will increase their force? Cathie reaffirmed - yes it will
create additional services for the Police Dept. and the Fire Dept., when the
applicants come in for final master plan approval - they will need to identify
with each phase what the impacts will be and when or if mitigation is needed
Cathie stated that everyone here today will have the opportunity to see all
the information presented, and will be able to comment. Cathie reiterated
that all the answers are not fine-tuned yet, but staff will not forget. (PC
member Bob Isom left at 5 00 pm) Cathie explained the property tax issue
Shelly Badger added, every time the county assessor visits properties to
reassess them for value, they take into consideration what's going on in the
vicinity, every time this happens the potential exists that the appraised value
may go up or down Shelly said that there are many considerations factored
into property values going up or down, and the city does not have complete
control over this
Kelan Moynagh of 93rd Avenue, Yelm, stated that he IS requesting the whole
project be stopped completely, then read his comment letter A copy of Mr
Moynagh's comment letter was accepted by Glenn Blando and entered Into
the record by Planning Commission Administrative Assistant, Dana Spivey
Diane D'Acuti of 93rd Avenue, Yelm, questioned the checklist. Ms. D'Acutl
asked about question #7 "Environmental Health" - any environmental
hazards etc , and special emergency services required? Ms. D'Acuti stated
the answers are "No" and "None required" - she questions these answers
since a possible 5000 units are gOing to be added Ms. D'Acuti understood
Cathie Carlson's explanation earlier ofthe phasing process, but is concerned
that the initial response IS "no" and "none required" instead of reflecting the
phasing explanation? Ms. D'Acuti also inquired about the question "Do you
have proposed measures to insure the proposal is compatible with existing
and projected land uses and plans if any?" - the response is "using the
existing land use regulations" - however, staff indicates that thIS is something
Yelm Planning Commission
October 18, 1999
Page 3
.;;
that is going to be going on in continuum Ms. D'Acuti stated that this too is
a concern, if an existing plan is going to be used now, In ten years it won't
work, is it an existing plan that is updated every year, is it a plan that is
looked at every two years? Something that IS used now, isn't necessarily
gOing to be effective five years from now Ms. D'Acuti added, in the
transportation section, the reference asking about the streets and highways
serving the site, did the Y2N3 or any of the studies consider the possible
extra 5000 units in the plan? Ms D'Acuti is concerned because as she
drives down the street now, she sees everyone coming out of Berry Valley
Road She then asked about the question regarding "tnps per day generated
by this completed project" - every answer says "see environmental impact
statement(EIS)," which was expired July 1994 Cathie clarified that the EIS
is not expired Ms. D'Acuti then asked how can the EIS still be used from
five years ago? Five years is not that long, many things can happen In five
years, an example IS the fact that Yelm now has three traffic lights - in the
last five years If the EIS is a continuum, something needs to change, the
environmental impact has changed - she is concerned that it says "there are
no mitigating circumstances which would cause another check on the
environmental impact, she thinks the impact IS tremendous Ms. D'Acuti
stated that she has seen the growth in town in the last five years, and now
this project IS talking about adding more people than there are in Yelm right
now, even though it is over a continuation of time Ms. D'Acutl asked about
how everything will be done at "final master plan approval" - shouldn't all
these issues be addressed now, before it gets to final master plan approval,
because it seems these people will have done a lot of work, and they could
possibly come up to something that would negate it when it could be handled
earlier? - According to the papers, a start date of Spnng 2000 is listed, that
IS only 6 months away, Ms D'Acutl said Cathie addressed this question,
saYing that IS what the initial environmental Impact statement did, a broad
look at the property and the project. The EIS identified all those issues, when
it gets more site specific about lot layout, location of utilities etc , exact
mitigation will be determined Cathie stated she only has one copy of the
EIS, but anyone is more than welcome to come take a look at It and make
copies etc
Ms. D'Acuti added that she is personally concerned about the flooding issue
of Thompson Creek, to date nothing has been done about the creek The
impact IS there, we've gone year after year, we've got more people here and
a now a larger housing development is coming, and the eXisting
environmental Impact statement will be used, that IS her main concern
Bill Hashim, of 93rd Avenue, Yelm, stated he has been doing environmental
management for about 25 years, currently work for the WA. State
Department of Ecology - have Just drafted the stateWide water quality plan
Yelm Planning Commission
October 18 1999
Page 4
(J,..
Mr. Hashim stated that he knows a little about land uses and water quality
problems, he would like to address this issue on two fronts One IS on
environment, the other on social and cultural impacts Mr. Hashim continued
saying he has come upon this project in the eleventh hour, he hasn't had
time to look at many of the documents, but someone came to him a 1 %
weeks ago claiming a 5000 Unit project is going to take place, and the city
has declared It non-significant with some mitigation's - so he started looking
Into it. Mr. Hashim said he looked at the EIS and he has an issue with
process, he has worked with SEPA before, he thought you should have an
environmental checklist first, a decision is made by a responsible official -
which either tngger or doesn't tngger an EIS, and with this project it seems
there is an EIS first and then a checklist? Mr. Hashim doesn't understand
how this process was developed for the city, and then stated that he plans
to file an appeal with the Thurston County Land Use Board, for process
sake He then went on - to say that after looking at some land-use maps, It
seems the whole area is aquifer recharge area, either critical category 1 or
extreme category 2, if anyone knows anything about storm water runoff, golf
courses are the worst users of chemicals of almost any land use in America -
there's no protection for the ground water - he doesn't know how much
ground water is being used by the City of Yelm, but suspects it is substantial
This whole area was probably not a good area to be annexed in the first
place, but Mr Hashim knows that is a mute issue He continued, the person
who developed the checklist claimed there are no storm water impacts, but
there is no technology in America that can stop storm water impacting both
surface and ground water, the manual will make that claim also He stated
that a project of this size should automatically trigger an EIS Mr. Hashim
stated, his other major issue is the culture ofYelm - right nowYelm is an ugly
little crossroad in the middle of Thurston County - part of downtown Yelm is
for sale, actually a significant portion of downtown is for sale, he doesn't
know who is responsible - the city councilor the planning commission - but
it simply hasn't been taken care of, and what the city is doing, IS transfernng
the responsibility for care of Yelm to the developers, and that doesn't work
Mr. Hashim said he would like to see everyone start from where we are at,
beautify Yelm as we work our way out, Instead of moving the City of Yelm
some place else and abandoning the downtown Mr. Hashim stated that
Steve Craig from the Yelm VisIoning Committee, said "they [the city] have
already abused the visioning goals - what makes them think they are gOing
to be any kind of checks and balances for this new development?" Mr.
Hashim stated he suspects there won't be
Ms. D'Acuti said she understands the city does a conceptual master plan,
and the company or applicants do a conceptual plan - If the company dOing
the conceptual plan owns the property - isn't that a conflict of interest? Cathie
said the city does not do a conceptual plan, that IS private property and it's

the same as if anyone came in and wanted to develop their property under
the city's rules and regulations - they do the application, its part of their
application to do a plan Ms. D'Acuti asked - so when it is called a Yelm
Conceptual Master Plan, its not the city doing the plan - the city hires
someone to do the plan? Cathie said no the city does not hire anyone, it's
the responsibility of the property owners who are applying for the land use
permit to do the plan Margaret Clapp said that maybe some of the
confusion is that the city has the Comprehensive Plan - which they [city] have
done for Yelm, and the conceptual master plan that the developers do for
their property Cathie explained the differences between the city's
Comprehensive Plan and a conceptual master plan
Jim Enlow of Longmire Street, Yelm, asked if the traffic problem is going to
be addressed before more houses are built? Cathie said yes, most
definitely Mr. Enlow asked if Y1, 2 & 3 are going to be in place before the
houses start going in? Shelly said not necessarily
Bill Moss of 93rd Avenue, Yelm, stated that Thompson Creek cuts right
through his property, and it has been stated that the substantial flooding took
place in 1996, but every year since 1996 he has had just as much flooding
or worse, and its because of the shores or banks of Thompson Creek eroded
when the bad '96 flood came Mr. Moss said that since that has happened,
that has increased a lot of wetlands along Thompson Creek, with all of this
new projected development - it seems there will be even more runoff going
down Thompson Creek, which will increase the flooding Mr. Moss wants to
know what they can do if the applicants go on with their projects - who is
gOing to pay for the damages that are caused to his and others properties
along that creek when it floods worst than it does now? Mr. Moss stated that
they [himself and other home owners] have held several meetings to find out
what they can do to make that creek flow better, and as far as all the
environmental people associated with the due process to do something
about it, they say there is nothing that can be done He said, every year they
just have to deal with the flooding, and now all these new houses will come
in above us with roofs and pavement pushing water down to us even faster
Cathie said she would address this situation to the best of her ability It is a
very intricate system, the hydrology of the ground water, the surface waters
and that is one of the major issues and studies that we will be looking at, the
interconnections of systems and with the addition of pavement and rooftops
and where the storm water goes - how it moves underground so that we
don't increase runoff to Mr Moss and the other homeowners The city needs
to deal with that onsite Shelly added that when we know the specific's of the
development and the phases, the city will ask the developer to show the city
with studies and actual on the ground work, what Will be done to keep
flooding from happening

Mr. Moss said that he can understand what Cathie and Shelly just said, there
will be studies and findings and the city will approve all of it, but the water will
still increase - then who is going to take care of the homeowners and our
road when it still floods? He said that every winter he has to drive through
water, and it ruins his vehicles every year Steve Speidel addressed Mr
Moss, stating that one of the things in the DOE manual and other storm
water manuals is that when a piece of property is developed - a study has to
be done of how much water is falling on that piece of property and where the
water is released from, the direction the water goes, where the release points
are - the concept IS - what all engineers and public works departments are
all striving for is that the development will not impact that flow and create any
more water flowing or change the place that it goes from, so there may be
a problem now, and this problem may not be addressed or fixed with this
particular development process that we are talking about but the theory is
that it will not be exasperated by the development. A lot of work will be done
to make sure the problem is not worsened, there will be more additional
information and maybe through the mitigation process the city will say
because of this problem and because the overall development is happening
in the area - maybe the culvert size could be increased or another piece of
property could be used to create a basin where storm water can sit - its very
possible some of these things could happen to address the problem
Mr. Moss stated that one of his points is that the developers are ok with this
5000 unit project, and they [Mr Moss and other homeowners] couldn't even
get an ok to dig out a ditch to alleviate the flooding problem Mr. Speidel said
that is not true, if anything came up in any analysis that could potentially
cause any more impact than is currently gOing on, there wouldn't be any
approval Shelly stated that a key point to remember is that the city is not
giving any development approval today, perimeters are being set for the
development of these properties to apply under for all the detailed studies to
be done, all of these Issues have to be addressed before the city could ever
give development approval
Debbie Moss of 93rd Avenue, Yelm, asked where the head waters are of
Thompson Creek? Ms. Moss also added that golf courses don't filter their
water, all the pesticides come with the water - right down to Thompson Creek
and eventually into Nisqually River Ray Kent said that the head waters of
Thompson Creek are near Hobby Street and 123rd Avenue, Yelm, (in the
county) There was discussion by members of the public (who did not state
their names for the record) Cathie stated that one thing that will be done for
this project, because of the magmtude and complexity of it, the city will be
hiring other consultants/specialists to review documents prepared by the
appllcants/d evelope rs

Matthew Schubart, stated that a development like this could be done well for
everyone's benefit, he is very new to all of this - hasn't had time to read
everything on it - but he is interested in the comment made about conflict of
interest, from a technical standpoint - in the city's subdivision bylaw the topic
of conceptual master plan says "the purpose of conceptual review or
approval is to establish general land use policies," Mr. Schubart has trouble
with a private developer making an application to do a conceptual master
plan, for a determined land use policy - that should be the business of the
municipal organization Mr. Schubart stated that maybe he is incorrect on
this, but he understood it as after the city performs a conceptual master plan
In conformance with the comprehensive plan, then a developer makes an
application for a subdivision within that zone or area of the conceptual plan
and that gets approved and that becomes their personal standard Mr.
Schubart said that he understands there has not been any application for a
subdivision from anyone - therefore this is all "pipe dreaming" and we're all
sitting here talking about things that have not been applied for Mr. Schubart
stated he doubts seriously that the City of Yelm has a binding agreement
with any of those property owners out there that prohibits them from
changing their plans, he has observed for the last 8-10 years that the
Thurston Highlands property has changed consortiums one or two different
times, his point being it could change again tomorrow - everything could
change tomorrow, he wanted to remind everyone that there has not been a
subdivision or development application and it all could change Mr. Schubart
said that he does not see any provisions in the subdivision ordinance or
other ordinances where an actual policy has been defined - and If there Isn't
a written policy - then they don't stick. Everyone has great ideas, but the
City of Yelm may not have anything to pass because there isn't anything in
writing For example, the police Issue - it IS not for a developer to decide on
police, schools or public works - there Isn't anything In writing that says that
more police will be added to the force etc - isn't it the law? Cathie said that's
what this conceptual approval process is about - this is the Writing Mr.
Schubart said that IS not a binding agreement - it is vague and capriCIOUS
and can not be construed as law Cathie stated It IS conceptual approval for
the property, it runs with the land - In order for them to come back and do
final master plan approval Mr. Schubart said again, those are great ideas
but it doesn't say how it is going to happen - as long as everyone is agreeing
It is all fine - but the professionals here today can not speak in a binding
fashion for the developers Shelly stated that it is important to remember
that they do not have to speak in a binding fashion, the city IS considering
this as a planning commission recommendation to the city council - the city
council's approval becomes the binding framework for the development -
whether the developer likes it or not. Margaret Clapp added that what they
are binding to IS that the details are gOing to be worked out later - the traffic

Page 8
studies, the mitigation fees etc Mr. Schubart stated that he is just trying to
warn the City, the conceptual plan will be passed but it is so vague - there is
no formula of guideline or policy that the City has outlined - which the
developers could follow - so that they know what they have to do, so the City
knows what they will get. Cathie the next step, the "Final Master Plan
approval," will give the City the foundation The first step, the "Conceptual
Plan approval," creates the "bubble" and the cnteria which the next step can
be accomplished in - then the next step "Final Master Plan approval" - gives
the City, Mr. Schubart interupted and asked, then how can the gentlemen
here today - actually do the business of deciding how to scope out all these
things if they don't have a guideline policy of land use? Where do the
formula's come in? Shelly stated there are fees established, that in our
Comprehensive Planning process - the City looked at the big picture which
Included this large area as well as other areas in town Mr. Schubart asked
who IS going to pay for the development of the 30 acre commercial area in
this proJect? Shelly said the developers will (DragtlDeTray) Mr. Schubart
asked where is the formula? Shelly said that the City does not know what
the formula will be until we receive an actual application for a site specific
project. Mr. Schubart asked where does the formula come from? Shelly
said the formula comes from the City's overall Comprehensive Plan, hook-up
fees and current development standards Mr. Schubart asked if there is a
formula for adding to the police department? Shelly stated that is a mitigated
item that is dealt with directly with the developer when they submit to
determine what the impacts are Mr. Schubart stated that he doesn't
understand why the City calls this a "project"- when there hasn't been an
application filed
Debbie Moss asked if they can have more public notice on thiS, as much as
the Y-Corridor gets? She stated that it seems this project or plan is just
getting "hushed up" Cathie said that anyone not on the "adjacent property
owners list" that would like to be on a mailing list for public notices etc ,
needs to notify us, the City can not do a mass mailing every time Kelan
Movnagh stated that he received a "notice of application" In the mail - IS he
understanding it correctly - that there is an actual application on file? Cathie
said yes, for "Conceptual Master Plan approval" Glenn Blando asked If any
members of the Planning Commission have any questions? John Thomson
asked about Item #6-Schools, looking at the overall map it seems the bottom
portion is in the Rainier School District - what the City may have to address
is whether or not they consider going to the Superintendent of Public
Instruction and maybe either having all the city within a single school district
or they will have to individually address it in this plan both for Rainier and
Yelm School District, and the developer would have to negotiate with both
school separately E.J. Curry said that the City went through this when the
first plan was onginated Cathie said yes, that is correct - this will need to be
Yelm Planning Commission
October 18 1999
Page 9
added as a condition, in the recommendation it will include Rainier School
District. Margaret asked about the transportation mitigation, on the financing
of that - is it because there may be off-site transportation mitigation Issues
that the City wants to know about, or are you talking about purely with
internal circulation roads? Cathie its mainly for internal roads, in particular
probably the loop road, because there are other property owners that the
commercial property owners are involved with In that construction, and the
City wants to make sure that everybody is assessed fairly Margaret
confirmed, her understanding is that the off-site transportation mitigation
comes In with the impact fees? Cathie said more than likely, unless there IS
some transportation Improvement in addition to the fee
Glenn asked if there were any more questions or comments form the
Commission? John said that several issues have been brought up by the
public - he assumes that the Planning Commission will get feedback from the
City's attorney or the city staff as to those issues which were brought up
Cathie stated that if the Planning Commission does not feel comfortable with
what is in the staff report, yes the city staff would be more than happy to get
the city attorney's opinion or more information from the applicants Margaret
stated that she feels comfortable that everything has been addressed, but
Mr Speidel had a question about the commercial size - is that something
that can be worked on? Shelly stated the staff recommendation is specific
to the 15,000 square feet, Margaret could It worked on down the road?
Cathie said yes, either that or It would have to come back in for an
amendment, it should be dealt with now Shelly added that when the original
conceptual plan in 1994, the whole concept of commercial was highly
discussed and debated - how much commercial is too much? etc The
reason that this was limited was so that this area was developed truly as the
golf course amenities and the area where people would go to get gas,
grocenes etc. would be different. Expanding this area beyond just the golf
course amenities would be a change from the onglnal discussion Shelly
said that the reason It was limited In the first place was to have the
commercial area for this 2,000 acres be in the 30 acre tract, and not also in
the 5 acre tract. Glenn asked for any other comments or quest~ons from the
Planning Commission? There were none Cathie added that In the section
of the conceptual plan where It talks about the commercial development in
that 5 acre area, she did not carry that 15,000 square feet forward that was
talked about In the staff report, so a decision needs to be made on that
today Glenn closed the public heanng at 6 04 P m There was discussion
E.J. Curry stated that she would be In favor of Increasing the allowed square
footage of commercial in the 5 acre area, because that is the whole purpose
of a master planned community - to keep more cars off the road E.J. added
she doesn't feel the larger area (30 acre tract) should not be decreased, the
5 acre tract should be Increased Glenn asked if there is a
Yelm Planning Commission
October 18 1999
Page 10
recommendation? More discussion John asked for c1anfication, the
Planning Commission is just approving a Conceptual Plan at this point? But
when the plan comes in with its specific's, isn't that when we would address
the environmental issues and this commercial square footage issue? Shelly
said that is correct to a certain extent - however, there are certain areas that
the city deems important to put in the Conceptual Plan in the beginning,
including the types of land uses out there John stated he is reluctant wIthout
getting feedback from the business community, to make a change from the
original numbers He doesn't feel the city is at a point to make the change
now Margaret agreed, her recommendation would be to keep the (square
footage) numbers the same now, but she would be open to hearing an
argument for why something should be shifted or changed when the
developers have a more detailed plan
Mr. Speidel asked the staff, with the 15,000 sq ft. limitation on commercial,
would that be on commercial activities outside of the building of the
clubhouse or would that mclude the clubhouse? Shelly said it would include
the clubhouse Mr. Speidel said then maybe there is something he can offer
to the Planning Commission as a compromise situation that would allow for
future negotiation or discussion with the clients - the clubhouse facility would
be included in the development facilities of the golf course with the
secondary commercial 15,000 sq ft. which would allow for the businesses
(i e video rentals, dry cleaners, pizza shop) in the little old town hub that
would be centered around the golf course complex as shown on the concept
plan, instead of going all the way up to the 55,000 sq ft. previously
requested Mr. Speidel pointed out - please understand that the clubhouse
facility is separate from the retail Ray Kent said he would be open to that
consideration Cathie stated that it needs to be defined then - what is a
"clubhouse?" There was some discussion John Thomson stated that he
has to leave for another public hearing at his job Cathie said that part of this
recommendation is that the reciprocal agreement be executed and the
survey be done, there is some time In between now and when it goes to the
city council - staff could work on this, there should be some feedback from
the commercial community There was more discussion

Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan
In review of the history of the current proposal of the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master
Plan, I request that the whole process be stopped and the plan denied. Not only has
due process not been adhered to according to chapter 16 of Yelm Municipal Code
entitled "Subdivisions", but there is also apparent conflict of interest regarding the
project. Additionally, the environmental checklist is deficient.
Due Process not followed
Chapter 16 clearly outlines the proper procedure to be followed regarding subdivisions
within city limits. Its purpose is so that the city can responsibly "provide for the health,
safety and general welfare of its citizenry and the public."
Specifically, it outlines the process required to subdivide
C

2.
The city identifies an area within city limits that it wants to allow to subdivide
The city drafts a conceptual master plan which outlines the provisions for
subdivision
Within 3 years from the master plan's approval, land owners within the area
owning at least 200 acres may apply for subdivision and submit a master plan for
development which is consistent with the overall conceptual master plan
developed by the city
After 3 years, the conceptual master plan expires and the land reverts to its
original zoning. No subdivision can occur at this point. e g. the city now can not
accept applications for subdivision

In contrast, here is what has happened

The city approved the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan in 1994
The plan expired in 1997
This year, the city accepted application and an accompaning $6,000 fee from
OragtlDeTray, LLC
Now after accepting the application and money, the city now wants to simply
submit the old plan without revision for approval.
In an apparent attempt to streamline the project, the city issued a mitigated
determination of nonsignificance to avoid any environmental considerations
This when in fact the development may add 5,000 homes and 13,000 residents:
more than the current population of Yelm! Addtionally, according to the Y21Y3
Corridor Executive Summary, Yelm is currently in declared transportation
emergency The original conceptual plan apparently had assumed adoption of
the Y1 proposal. No traffic analysis or study has been done to integrate the plan
into the Y2N3 proposal.

Conflict of interest
In proposing the Conceptual Master Plan, it is the city's responsibility to do an
environmental checklist. A checklist was done It was prepared by The Kirkbride Group,
Inc. and paid for by Dragt/DeTray, LLC
Deficiencies in the Checklist
#3b Water rights is an unresolved issue See the attached letter from Kari Rokstad,
Washington State Department of Ecology to Shelly Badger, City of Yelm dated
September 29, 1999
#4 In addition to the vegetation listed, one must add water plants
#5 In addition to the birds and animals listed, one must add
Birds: heron, eagles, ducks and other water fowl
Mammals: elk, coyotes, mountain lion
Fish: unknown type, but Thompson Creek has fish in it
#5c Elk is a migratory animal and thus requires special consideration under Yelm
Ordinance 426. (Wetlands also required this special consideration.)
C #8f There is no comprehensive plan in effect.
#10 Government approvals required? Whereas this project only lists approval of the
Conceptual Master Plan which is the purpose of this questionnaire to begin with (!),
according the Y21Y3 Corridor Executive Summary, the Y21Y3 project required"
National Marine Fisheries Service and U S Fish and Wildlife Service - Biological
Assessment Concurrence
U S Amy Corps of Engineers - Section 404 Nationwide Permit
Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife - Hydraulic Project Approval.
Washington State Department of Ecology and Thurston County - Shoreline Substantial
Development Permit
Thurston County - Floodplain Development permit
The Southwest Plan includes many of the aspects that the Y2IY3 Corridor exhibits
including wetlands, floodplains, bodies of water, oak stands, critical areas of aquifer
recharge, hydric soils, and seasonal streams. Why the difference in standards?

Re: THA Development - Water Supply
Dear Mr Mackie
October 18. 1999
OCTlS.
It appears that THA project implementation depends on availability of water supply We
appreciate your early assurance to supply initial phase of development for
about 500 ERU plus water for irrigating lawn/golf course. THA, in return, will assign
the well site(s) to the City with the understanding that the City can process and obtain water right
from the State sooner. and that once the well is installed, the THA should have the first right to use
well water Any excess water can be supplied to other property at ncrmai citys charges.
By the same talking, the City of Yelm should ask DragtlDe Tray to assign their well water r!ght to
the City The City can supply axcess water fiOm DragtJDeTray site to other property including THA.
Based on Preliminary Ground Water Exploration for THA prepared by Robinson & Noble, Inc.
(January 1995). the potential quantitie$ of water supplies (from sites on THA property) are:

The Planning Commission shall review the application for completeness and, if it determines
that the proposed Master Plan is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and the City's other
plans and policies, recommend approval by the Planning Commission If the Planning
Commission determines that the proposed Master Plan is not so consistent, it may either
remand for modifications specifically identified or recommend denial by the City Council
BACKGROUND
In 1994, the Yelm City Council approved the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan The
approval provided the framework and conditions for Final Master Plan and project approval(s)
An Environmental Impact Statement and Addendum to the Environmental Impact Statement
were prepared as an element of the approval
The Conceptual Master Plan was approved with a minimum density requirement of 3 5 units
per net developable acre and a maximum of 4 44 units per net developable acre, with a limit of
5,000 dwelling units Two Golf Courses and Commercial Zoning were approved for a 30 acre
tract in the middle of the site and a 5 acre tract in the southwest area which would be located
near the Golf Course Club House Adequate provisions for open space, schools, streets,
public utilities and critical areas were required
Yelm Municipal Code, Chapter 1762060, Master Plan Development requires that a complete
master plan be submitted within three years of conceptual approval unless an extension has
been granted pursuant to Section 17 62 070 The Conceptual Master Plan Approval expired
on October 12, 1997 The City did not receive a request for extension approval
PROPOSAL.
The proposal is for Conceptual Master Plan approval and does not propose any changes from
the 1994 approved Conceptual Master Plan as described above The area encompasses
approximately 1800 acres and is located northwest of State Highway 507, southwest of State
Highway 510 in the area of Killion Road, referred to as the SW Yelm Annexation Area The

1999 The notice was mailed to adjacent property owners and the applicant on
October 7,1999
4 Existing land Use Vacant, rural residential and agncultural
5 Adiacent land Uses Vacant, rural residential and agricultural
6 Zoninq Master Plan Community
7 Soils and Geoloqy Nisqually loamy fine sand dominates the meadow areas and
along the creek bank, Spanaway sandy gravelly loam, and Spanaway sandy
loam are located on the eastern portion of the property Everett gravelly sand
loam and Yelm fine sandy loam can be found on the site Also, a small pocket
of Mukilteo muck was located close to some of the wetland areas
8 Wetlands. Yelm Cntical Areas Map indicates a primary wetland system on the
northeastern portion of the site and numerous smaller wetlands in the
southwestern portion of the site
The original EIS for the Southwest Yelm annexation contains a wetlands map
and a wetlands study of the on-site wetlands The wetlands work performed for
the EIS was adequate to consider the impacts on the wetlands from the
annexation and the various development scenarios The proposal adequately
accommodates the Identified on-site wetlands for Conceptual Master Plan
approval
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, Chapter 17 62, requires the applicant
Page 2 of 13
to show the location of wetland areas within the Master Plan area and "for a
reasonable distance beyond the boundaries of the proposed development to
include adjacent or nearby lands where project impacts are relevant." It is
critical to consider the impacts of the Final Master Plan on wetlands, including
adjacent, off-site wetlands
Prior to Final Master Plan approval the applicant must identify with greater detail
and perform further studies of all the on-site wetlands, the large wetland to the
south of the planning area and the wetlands to the north of the project area
associated with Thompson Creek.
9 Surface Water. Thompson Creek crosses the site, south to north, on the
westerly portion of the site Thompson Creek collects surface water runoff and
spring water from the south DUring heavy rainfall and high water periods the
water overflows both sides of the creek and floods low meadow areas During
the 1996 flood event(s) many residents along Thompson Creek experienced
flooding
The Flood Insurance Rate Map produced by the Federal Emergency
Management Agency, categorizes Thompson Creek, inside the City limits, as a
Zone A. Zone A's are flood hazard areas that are inundated by 1 DO-year flood
events, but no base blood elevations have be determined
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, Chapter 17 62, requires the applicant
to show the location of flood plains and water courses within the Master Plan
area and "for a reasonable distance beyond the boundaries of the proposed
development to Include adjacent or nearby lands where project impacts are
relevant." It is critical to consider the impacts of the Final Master Plan on
Thompson Creek and associated flood plains, including adjacent properties
Prior to Final Master Plan approval the applicant must identify with greater
detail and perform further studies of the flood plains associated with Thompson
Creek on site and to the north of the planning area
10 Ground Water Yelm Critical Areas Map indicates the site contains Category 1,
2, and 3 Aquifer Recharge Areas
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, Chapter 17 62, requires the applicant
to provide "any additional information as required by the planning department
necessary to evaluate the character and impact of the proposed master plan"
Prior to Final Master Plan approval the applicant must identify with greater detail
and perform further studies of the ground water and hydrology of the site
11 Transportation and Site Access. Access on the eastern portion of the site is
from Berry Valley Road, Longmire Street and Durant Street. Access on the
southwestern portion of the site is from Hwy 507 There is no access to the
northern or most westerly areas of the site
Page 3 of 13
Berry Valley Road and Durand Street are not built to current city standards and
are not adequate to safely accommodate the additional traffic generated by the
proposed project
The applicant has proposed the main loop road through the planning area, from
Highway 507 along the Doyle/Bosequett parcels, through the golf course/single-
family residential area, intersecting with the North/South Corridor, and finally
connecting with Yelm Avenue along Berry Valley Road and to Killion Road
The main loop road is considered the primary essential corridor for the project.
Pnor to City Council review of the proposed Master Plan, the applicants and the
property owners of the commercially zoned property along the primary essential
corridor should execute a reciprocal agreement that includes the right-of-way
dedication deed for public use To ensure that the primary corridor is viable the
applicant shall provide a record of survey for the right-of-way as an Exhibit to
the staff report prior to the City Council review of the project.
The second essential corridor for the project IS the North/South connector This
corridor is located within the commercial area and is required to provide for the
connection of streets and adjacent services This corridor is located solely on
the Thurston Highlands Associates property The right-of-way dedication should
occur prior to Master Plan approval
The goals and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Transportation Plan
require new development to provide connected-streets to promote the efficient
flow of traffic within the community The internal street network shall meet this
goal and will be approved at time of Master Plan approval
The City's Concurrency Ordinance, requires all development to mitigate impacts
to the City transportation system Mitigation for off-site transportation impacts
include, but are not limited to, payment of the Transportation Facility Charge
The applicant shall complete a Traffic Study and Analysis prior to Final Master
Plan approval
12 Wastewater The project area is within the City's service area, however the City
does not have sufficient sewer treatment capacities for development of the
entire site The Master Plan area will be expected to provide sewer services
and infrastructure for all new development in the plan area
To ensure adequate capaCities and the concurrent construction of infrastructure
the applicant shall provide a phasing plan for sewer service The phasing plan
shall also identify financing options The phasing plan shall be required at time
of Final Master Plan approval
13 Water Supplv The project area is within the City's service area, however the
City does not have sufficient water rights for development of the entire site The
Page 4 of 13
Master Plan area will be expected to provide water service and infrastructure for
all new development in the plan area
To ensure adequate capacities and the concurrent construction of infrastructure
the applicant shall provide a phasing plan for water service The phasing plan
shall also identify financing options The phasing plan shall be required at time
of Final Master Plan approval
14 Drainaoe/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
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, Chapter 17 62, requires the applicant
to provide a master drainage plan, including storm water control The applicant
must identify with greater detail and perform further study of the existing site
drainage and proposed drainage plan
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
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, the applicant shall identify impacts
and mitigation for development phases
16 Police Protection Police protection IS provided by the City of Yelm As
development occurs there will be additional demands for police service
Prior to approval of the Final Master Plan, the applicant shall identify impacts
and mitigation for development phases
17 Schools The applicant has shown two potential school sites within the project
area The school sites may not provide adequate school facilities in relationship
to the project impacts
Also, the Southwest Yelm planning area is divided between the Yelm School
District and the Rainier School District. Section 28A.315 250 of the Revised
Code of Washington requires that each city and town be comprised in a single
school district. The statue does not necessarily place the burden for amending
the boundaries of a school district on a city In fact, it is the City of Yelm's
position that the burden is on either the school districts, the educational service
district or the applicant to propose and amend the school district boundaries
The applicant shall be responsible for negotiating within the Yelm and Rainier
School Districts, as well as their educational service district for the proper
modification to the school district boundaries
Prior to Final Master Plan approval the applicant shall enter into an agreement
with the Yelm School District for provisions for adequate school facilities
consistent with State nexus requirements and State funding programs for K-12
Page 5 of 13
education
18 Open Space. The City's Master Plan Ordinance requires the applicant to locate
and show the relationship to local parks The city seeks to provide parks and
open space to nearly 10,000 projected residents of the Southwest Yelm
planning area
The City's Open Space and Parks Ordinance requires new development to
dedicate five percent (5%) of gross area in single-family designations and ten
percent (10%) of gross area in multi-family designations
19 LandscapinQ. 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
In addition, the original EIS identified mitigation measures that include buffer
areas around the project site to help form a separation between the proposed
development and some offsite agricultural and military uses
At time of Final Master Plan approval the applicant shall provide a buffer plan
for approval At time of development approval for each phase the applicant
shall provide a landscape plan for approval
20 Commercial Development. The applicant has proposed two areas for
commercial zones The pnmary commercial area IS 30 acres, adjacent to the
North/South essential corndor
The City is concerned that commercial development in the Southwest Yelm
planning area will not only serve the customer base of the planning area, but will
also draw an unacceptable market share from existing established businesses
in the downtown and surrounding areas of the City Therefore, the City should
Impose a limit of 330,000 square feet of commercial floor space in the primary
commercial area Also, commercial development should occur concurrently with
a population base In the planning area that can support the commercial uses
The City should restrict commercial development to 15,000 square feet of gross
floor area with the initial Master Plan At such time when 1250 dwelling units
are constructed and the entire primary essential transportation corridor (Loop
Road) is constructed, the remaining 315,000 square feet of gross floor area will
be allowed
The second commercial area is five (5) acres located in the southwest area of
the site and is intended to be centered around the golf course club house This
commercial node is adjacent to and is served by access from the main loop
road The city is similarly concerned with the market share that this node will
draw from downtown Therefore, the City should impose a limit of 15,000
square feet of gross floor area
Page 6 of 13
Because the Master Plan IS its own zoning district, the Commercial Distnct
development standards do not apply to commercial development in this
planning area To ensure the commercial development is consistent with City
development standards, the primary commercial area (30 acres) shall be subject
to the provisions of Chapter 17 26, Commercial Zone (C-1) and the secondary
commercial area (5 acres) shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 17 24,
Central Business District (CBD)
21 Design Guidelines For the commercial areas of the project site the City Design
Guidelines should be utilized to ensure commercial development is consistent
with City goal's and policy's The Design Guidelines require developers to
consider.
1 Site Planning - the location, onentation and relationships of
buildings, parking lots and other features
2 Pedestrian Access - pedestrian circulation, safety and comfort.
3 Vehicular Access and Parking - location and size of driveways,
access roads and parking lot.
4 Building Design - design elements anc character of built
structures
5 Site Design and Landscaping - character and qualities of
landscaping, open space and other site features
The primary commercial area (30 acres) shall be designated Village Retail The
secondary commercial area (5 acres) shall be designated Old Town
22 Environmental Review:
In February of 1993, the City of Yelm published an Environmental Impact
Statement for the annexation and development of the Southwest Yelm area
That EIS considered the impacts associated with annexation as well as various
conceptual development scenarios With this extensive environmental review in
place, the City determined that an addendum to the final Environmental Impact
Statement would satisfy the need to review additional information and analysis
for the original conceptual master plan review On July 11, 1994, the city of
Yelm issued an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the
Southwest Yelm Annexation
Staff Recommendation.
Staff recommends the project be approved with the following conditions of approval and that
the Planning Commission forward the proposal to the City Council for review and approval

To Whom It May Concern.
As neIghboring residents to the proposed new development Prame V Iew-- Thurston
Highlands Master Planned Commurnty, we have many concerns. Such as floodmg,
stream bank erOSIon, pollutIon of dnnkmg water, wells and aqUIfers, loss of habItat for
fish and wIldlIfe, and publIc trespassmg on pnvate property due to the populatIon m the
area mcreasing.
We also have questIons that we would like to have addressed. Is the government
adequately enforcmg regulatIons that prevent developers from creatmg flood and
pollutIon problems m the fITst place? Was thIS area mapped and flood areas
acknowledged by Infared photos taken durmg the January 1997 floodmg? Were the tests
done to evaluate thIS specIfic SIte, local soIl analYSIS and tests for SIgns of floodmg and
wetlands? Are these homes being built m these flood prone areas? Will there be
adequate sewer and water systems, dramage systems, etc? Will thIS growth degrade the
water quality ofthe eXIstmg homes m the area?
ThIS undeveloped land IS heavIly vegetated, absorbmg a lot of ramwater With
development we wIll lose thIS natural absorptIon and filtering of ground water There
will be more ImperVIOUS surfaces creatmg even more water runoff, affectmg the
neIghboring residents.
Is thIS development gomg to affect the natural dramage system now m effect? There are
natural ponds, streams, and dItches that are now barely controllmg the water runoff. Are
these drainages going to be blocked, making us more prone to flooding, especially
through Thompson Creek?
Also, was it taken mto consIderatIon the true cost of extendmg services, calculated when
perffilttmg development, and will the developers pay the cost? Were Impact fees
consIdered that cover Thurston County's cost ofmanagmg storm water and drainage
systems and related Issues? Will developers have mItIgated all water Issues pnor to fmal
plot approval?
Developers should be held accountable when problems wIth floodmg and water systems
occur ill theIr developments whIch m turn affects us.
These issues wIll only get more complex and harder to solve as the number of people and
homes mcrease Makmg sure these Issues of water qualIty, quantIty, storm water control,
safety and pnvacy are fully addressed should be a pnonty before development IS
permItted.

Dear Members of the Yelm City Council and Planning Commission,
We have recently received information about the current plans for the Prairie View,
Thurston Highlands Master Planned Community. On that note, We would like to
explain that our family has chosen our residence to live out our lives in a safe, rur~
location. Please take in consideration our concerns which were expressed in person at
City Hall on August 4, 1999:
1. How will Longmire Street and Berry Valley Road be affected?
a. When we moved to this location we chose not to live on a busy highway.
b. We don't want to lose the land bordering the street to road development,
parking area and sidewalks. There is a line of small trees that have been
planted along the roadside that we don't want destroyed. We hope they will
provide us a buffer...someday.
2. Will there be any additional "utility" lines running down Longmire Street?
(water, sewer, power, gas, cable, phone, etc...)
3. Will buffers be mandatory for a development of this grand size? This is an
immense change for our happy, peaceful street. According to the Nisqually
Valley News, August 6, 1999 issue, the need for a 10 foot buffer zone and 6 foot-
high solid fence was approved for manufactured home developments. Doesn't
DeTray, the developer, deal in manufactured homes?
4. I consider myself a long-term resident of this area, yet when I moved into my
home I was charged a hefty transportation improvement fee. I am sure that
every family that moves into each unit in this new development will be charged
a transportation improvement fee under the same guidelines.
I would like to thank Cathie Carlson for her time and patience during my visit to Yelm
City Hall. She answered our questions to the best of her knowledge, yet it is our
understanding that anything could change at the drop of a hat. We are very
concerned about how we will be represented then, and who will listen? We realize
that the development will meet guidelines according to the law, but the law does not
take in consideration what is fair for each specific situation, and it surely does not
"feel from the heart".
Please send us documentation of possible further developments of the Prairie View,
Thurston Highlands Master Community. We would like to keep in touch.
Thank you,
/.J~.

Prame VIew, Thurston Highlands Master Planned Commumty, Southwest
Yelm, W A 985g]
I receIved my notificatIOn of changes and addItions to the "Thurston Highlands Master
Planned Commumty" I did have dIfficulty onentIng the maps maIled out, but a tnp to City
Hall solved my problem when It was explamed that the "Praine VIew" sectIon was not on
the "Thurston Highlands Master Plan Conceptual I" map.
I dId have several concerns and I have presented them orally and now ill wntmg to CathIe
Carlson and the City Council.
1 WhICh approach were the utilItIes, sewer, power, water, and gas gomg to use to the
development? The qualIfied reply' Berry Valley and Durant Roads.
2 WhICh roads WIll be widened and when? Reply' No estImate.
3 Is the maJonty of the road wIdemng, where poSSIble, commg out of the "Pralne
VIew" property? Reply' No, state law says "from the center of the present road"
(That statement should prevent future donatIOns of land to the CIty If you donated
an acre and a road had to be put m, you would have to cough up another 27 feet for
your half YIkes!)
4 Are buffers, fences, shrubs bemg planned to lessen traffic nOIse and people noise m
general? (Of course tills may seem like a mmor concern when compared WIth Ft.
LeWIS' all mght finng and the Ramtha get-togethers through the mght, but why add
to the nOIse pollutIOn?) Reply- No buffers are planned.
We dId not complamm years past of the dalry smells and sounds because the dalry was m
existence when we moved m and they were "first" Now that the area is changmg and we
are "first", I feel that my concerns should at least be conSIdered.
CathIe was very considerate m lIstening to my concerns but mostly the replIes came WIth
poSItIve qualIfiers, and so I was left WIth the feelIng that "well, that may change" It was a
lIttle lIke trymg to hold smoke m your hands.
May WIsdom and not avance be your gUIdelIne.

RE. Praire View, Thurston HigWands Master Pla&d Community, Southwest Yelm, W A 98597
I received my notice of the above referenced project and had several questions and concerns as per our
phone conversation this morning.
1. My biggest concern had to do with the widening and improvements to both Durant Road and
Longmire Street My understanding, per our conversation, is that the Berry Valley boulevard
road will need to be in place before any development can begin., thus, with the improved
access, there will be no reason to widen Longmire St. My other concern in this area had to do
with Durant Road and the acquisition of property to enable that road to become 56 feet wide
to include planting strip, sidewalk etc. You mentioned this will be determined at a future
step in this process and there will be opportunity to comment at that time. I feel that the
necessary changes to that road are being driven by the needs of the Praire View project
and therefore the land needed to make those changes should come exclusively from that
project.
2 My other concern was regarding buffers required if this was to be a manufactured home
community My understanding is that if this is going to be a mix of stick homes and,
manufactured homes, no buffers will be required.
I appreciate your willingness to answer my questions and will await each step in this process., as it plays
out.
Sincerely,
/~~~~~;IL~----

Dear Ms. Carlson
Just yesterday I receIved a copy of the notIce of applIcatIon and MDNS for the Prame
View, Thurston Highlands Project. It was eIther my neglect, or your process, that kept
thIS out of my sight untIl now However, please put my name on your mall111g for
hereafter
I cannot even vaguely understand how a 1800 acre, 4800-5000 UnIt project could have a
mItIgated detemunatlOn of nonslgnIficance status. I hope you understand that an
envIronmental checkhst cannot do JustIce to a project of thIS scope Even when you
consider the SEP A rules, thIS project should automatIcally tngger an EIS AdoptIon of
the Southwest Yelm AnnexatIon EIS IS not enough
I have lIved on 93rd Ave for nearly 4 years. Dunng that tIme I have observed seasonal
wetlands, saturated sOIls, and floodlllg all along 93rd and Berry Valley Road. Even If the
county wetland maps do not regard thIS area as wetland, the SIte needs to be ground
truthed for wetland determlllatlon. 4800 UnIts on sewer/septIc WIll add a SIgnIficant
amount of water to the already saturated SOlIs dunng a large part of the year In addItIOn,
the Impact to the communIty would be enormous. I don't even want to beglll describlllg
the potential Impacts to Yelm.
Increaslllgly throughout the US, responsible offiCials are under attack from CItizen
laWSUIts when their determlllatlOns assault the environment. SEP A reqUIrements are a
mlllImum, thiS town deserves greater care It would be in the best lllterest of all the
communIty, city council, and responsible offiCials, If at a mllllmum an EIS were reqUired.
Please take care of your communIty
Thank you for your conslderatlo;:

LIST OF EXHIBITS.
PUBLIC HEARING OBJECTIVE.
BACKGROUND
In 1994, the Yelm City Council approved the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan The
approval provided the framework and conditions for Final Master Plan and project approval(s)
An Environmental Impact Statement and Addendum to the Environmental Impact Statement
were prepared as an element of the approval
The Conceptual Master Plan was approved with a minimum density reqUirement of 3 5 units
per net developable acre and a maximum of 4 44 units per net developable acre, with a limit
of 5,000 dwelling units Two Golf Courses and Commercial Zoning were approved for a 30
acre tract in the middle of the site and a 5 acre tract in the southwest area which would be
located near the Golf Course Club House Adequate provisions for open space, schools,
streets, public utilities and critical areas were required
Yelm Municipal Code, Chapter 17 62 060, Master plan approval requires that a complete
master plan be submitted within three years of conceptual approval unless a~ extension has
been granted pursuant to Section 17 62 070 The Conceptual Master Plan Approval expired
on October 12, 1997 The City did not receive a request for appr~nSion
PROPOSAL.
The Master Plan area encompasses approximately 1800 acres and is located northwest of
State Highway 507, southwest of State Highway 510 in the area of Killion Road, referred to as
the SW Yelm Annexation Area The proposal does not contain any changes from the 1994
approved Conceptual Master Plan

22 Environmental Review:
In February of 1993, the City of Yelm published an Environmental Impact
Statement for the annexation and development of the Southwest Yelm area
That EIS considered the impacts associated with annexation as well as various
conceptual development scenanos With this extensive environmental review in
place, the City determined that an addendum to the final Environmental Impact
Statement would satisfy the need to review additional information and analysis
for the original conceptual master plan review On July 11, 1994, the city of
Yelm issued an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the
Southwest Yelm Annexation
ADD INFO ON ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FOR COMP PLAN
On _, the applicant submitted an environmental checklist with the application
packet for the conceptual master plan approval for the Southwest Yelm area
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
6. Densities/Dwelling Units
(A) The total number of dwelling units allowed in the Southwest Yelm Master Plan
area shall not exceed 5,000 dwelling units This overall maximum is further
allocated to each ownership group within the Master Plan area according to the
attached Exhibits _,_,_
Page 2 of 10
(B) The minimum number of dwelling units In the Master Plan area shall be
computed on the basis of 3 5 dwelling units per net developable acre Net
developable acre is the land measurement remaining after subtracting required
open space, environmentally sensitive areas, parks, transportation and utility
corridors, and any other unbuildable area The minimum density shall be
applied and enforced according to the min8mum dwelling units allowed by the
attached Exhibits _,_,_
(C) Accordingly, therefore, development in the Southwest Yelm Master Plan shall be
between 3,946 dwelling units and 5,000 dwelling units
(D) If, after the complete build-out in any particular area within the Master Plan area,
the City determines that the net density in that particular area is below the
maximum net density allowed for that area, any remaining unused density may
be transferred in the form of dwelling units to another property owner within the
Master Plan area, subject to approval by the City Nothing in this paragraph
shall be deemed to allow development in excess of the overall maximum of
5,000 dwelling units in the Master Plan area

'iv0 }- The City is considering the options available for financing the construction of the
Essential Utility and Transportation Corridors The projects will each be
constructed as complete water, sewer and street projects Those options
include a latecomer agreement, a Local Improvement District or a combination
of both In order to keep all options available, approval of the conceptual
Master Plan is conditioned upon two requirements First, the City and the major
property owners in the Master Plan Area, Thurston Highlands Associates and
Dragt/Detray, must enter into an agreement to waive any and all protests to any
future latecomer ordinance/agreement and Local Improvement District. Second,
Dragt/Detray must initiate and circulate an LID petition for financing the
construction of the main loop road corridor within 60 days of Conceptual Master
Plan approval by the City Council If for any reason the L.I D fails or is
determined by the city to be impractical, the Corridors shall be constructed on
the basis of a latecomer agreement/ordinance If the Corridors are constructed
pursuant to a latecomer agreement, the city intends that the main loop road
corridor will be constructed and financed in phases concurrent with
development. Any such phasing will, however, provide that any portion on the
main loop road that IS not fully constructed to City development standards will,
until such time a as it is so constructed, be constructed to sub-grade elevation
with a maintenance coarse surface for the entire remaining length of the right-

22. Environmental Review:
In February of 1993, the City of Yelm published an Environmental Impact
Statement for the annexation and development of the Southwest Yelm area
That EIS considered the impacts associated with annexation as well as various
conceptual development scenarios With this extensive environmental review in
place, the City determined that an addendum to the final Environmental Impact
Statement would satisfy the need to review additional information and analysis
for the original conceptual master plan review On July 11, 1994, the city of
Yelm issued an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the
Southwest Yelm Annexation
ADD INFO ON ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW FOR COMP PLAN
On _' the applicant submitted an environmental checklist with the application
packet for the conceptual master plan approval for the Southwest Yelm area
CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL
6 DensitieslDwelling Units
(A) The total number of dwelling units allowed in the Southwest Yelm Master Plan
area shall not exceed 5,000 dwelling units This overall maximum is further
allocated to each ownership group within the Master Plan area according to the
attached Exhibits _,_,_ /7) aCU5Wtfl(o/t itJ'l1~7'-LCWlteCf mmmUft tf:J

(B)
The minimum number of dwelling units in the Master Plan area shall be
computed on the basis of 3 5 dwelling units per net developable acre Net
developable acre is the land measurement remaining after subtracting required
open space, environmentally sensitive areas, parks, transportation and utility
corridors, and any other unbuildable area The minimum density shall be
applied and enforced according to the min8mum dwelling units allowed by the
attached Exhibits _'_'_
(C) Accordingly, therefore, development in the Southwest Yelm Master Plan shall be
between 3,946 dwelling units and 5,000 dwelling units
(D) If, after the complete build-out in any particular area within the Master Plan area,
the City determines that the net density in that particular area is below the
maximum net density allowed for that area, any remaining unused density may
be transferred in the form of dwelling units to another property owner within the
Master Plan area, subject to approval by the City Nothing in this paragraph
shall be deemed to allow development in excess of the overall maximum of
5,000 dwelling units in the Master Plan area
7. Transportation and Utilities
(A) The conceptual Master Plan approval requires the establishment of two
Essential Utility and Transportation Corridors The Y-1 Corridor will serve the
park site and school site on the northern boundary and the commercial property
throughout the remainder of the Corridor The second essential corridor is the
main loop road that connects to State Highway 507, loops through the Thurston
Highland Associates parcel, intersects the Y-1 Corridor, follows Berry Valley
Road and Connects to State Highway 510 at Killion Road The main loop road
corridor will be constructed as a "Boulevard" under the Minimum Street Design
Standards adopted in the City's Development Guidelines
~ .LKB) All property owners whose property will be burdened by the Corridors will
~ I{\ ~O r ."i}. v\ execute a reciprocal easement for the Corridors that will give each property
\l,-\~ v'{ \ SCY;r0 ~ owner the right to use the corridor on every other property The easement will

SANDY
The City is considering the options available for financing the construction of the
Essential Utility and Transportation Corridors The projects will each be
constructed as complete water, sewer and street projects Those options
include a latecomer agreement, a Local Improvement District or a combination
of both In order to keep all options available, approval of the conceptual
Master Plan is conditioned upon two requirements First, the City and the major
property owners in the Master Plan Area, Thurston Highlands Associates and
Dragt/Detray, must enter into an agreement to waive any and all protests to any
future latecomer ordinance/agreement and Local Improvement District. Second,
Dragt/Detray must initiate and circulate an L.I D petition for financing the
construction of the main loop road corridor within 60 days of Conceptual Master
Plan approval by the City Council If for any reason the L.I D fails or is
determined by the city to be impractical, the Corridors shall be constructed on
the basis of a latecomer agreement/ordinance If the Corridors are constructed
pursuant to a latecomer agreement, the city intends that the main loop road
corridor will be constructed and financed in phases concurrent with
development. Any such phasing will, however, provide that any portion on the
main loop road that is not fully constructed to City development standards will,
until such time a as it is so constructed, be constructed to sub-grade elevation
with a maintenance coarse surface for the entire remaining length of the right-

app;.oval? ~Uldlt make mo~~e-to-oegin the LID p}o@ss-at-time(;ffinal master plan
4'pproval or even as late as approval of a development project (preliminary plat)?
2 Why do we need sub-grad elevation for the undeveloped portions of the main loop road as
long- as their described in the reciprocal agreement?
3 Why would we want any area to be dedicated to the City prior to full improvements?
Wouldn't be better to leave it in an easement as described in the reciprocal agreement?

SANDY
The Y-1 Corridor shall be placed in a transportation easement of sufficient width
to meet City Development Standards This will ensure that structures are not
constructed in the area that could potential serve as the future transportation
corridor The Corridor shall be dedicated to the City at such time it is
constructed to City standards

Statement would satisfy the need to revIew additional Information and analysis
for the original conceptual master plan review On July 11, 1994, the city of
Yelm Issued an Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the
Southwest Yelm Annexation.

Master Plan area, subject to approval by the City NothIng in this paragraph
shall be deemed to allow development in excess of the overall maXimum of
5,000 dwelling units In the Master Plan area
7. TransDortation and Utilities

(B)
The conceptual Master Plan approval requires the establishment of two
Essen~ial Utility and T~an5portation COrridors p5ie Y-1 CQrridor will ~erve the ./
park site and school site on the northern bounda,*,and-tfle commercial property"
throughout the remainder of the Corridor~The ~~ssentlal corridor is the
main loop road that connects to State t=ttg'hway 507, loops through the Thurston

The City IS considenng the options available for financing the construction of the
Essential Utility and Transportation COrridors The projects will each be
constructed as complete water, sewer and street projects Those options
Inel a, latecomer agreement, a local Improvement District or a combination
of both In order to keep all options available, approval of the conceptual
Master Plan is conditioned upon two requirements First, the CIty and the major
property owners in the Master Plan Area, Thurston Highlands Associates and
DragtlDetray, must enter into an agreement to waive any and all protests to any
f ture latecomer ordinance/agreement and Local Improvement District. Second,
/DragtlDetray must initiate and circulate an LI D petition for finanCing the
construction of the main loop road corridor Within 60 days of Conceptual Master
Plan approval by the City Council If for any reason the L.I 0 falls or is
determined by the city to be Impractical, the Corridors shall be constructed on
the basis of a latecomer agreement/ordinance If the Corndors are constructed
pursuant to a latecomer agreement, the city intends that the main loop road
corndor will be constructed and financed in phases concurrent with
development. Any such phasing will, however, provide that any portion on the
main loop road that IS not fully constructed to City development standards will,
until such trme a as it is so constructed, be constructed to sub-grade elevation
with a maintenance coarse surface for the entire remaining length of the right-
of-way

(0)
ThiS Conceptual Master Plan approval does not include or imply approval of
specific development proposals such as subdiviSions, plats, site plans. or
planned residential developments Such specifiC development proposals shall
be subject to the laws and regulations otherwise applicable, With the additional
requirement that they also satisfy all conditions of this Conceptual Master Plan
that apply
The Southwest Yelm master Plan shall be reviewed by the Planning commission
every five years after the effective date of the City Council's action on the final
Master Plan The purpose of the review is to determine whether substantial
completion of development IS proceeding according to the Phasing Plan and
whether such development is satisfying all conditions of Master Plan approval.
If development is not proceeding as planned or the conditions are not being
met, the Planning commission may either extend the revIew period or terminate
the Master Plan approval according to the terms of the master Plan ReVIew
Ordinance
Any major modification to the Mtter Plan will require Planning Commission
approval in accordance with the Master Plan Review Ordinance
Each of the major planning aret;:'(Thurston Highlands Associates,
OragtlDetray, and other parcels) may proceed independently with final Master
Plan approval, provided that the overall requirements of this Conceptual Master
Plan approval are satisfies
SANDY
1 I believe these original conditions where needed because we did not have a Master Plan
Development Ordinance at the time of approval Since we now have a chapter In the zoning
code, do we need these procedural conditions? "\

200 acres in a smgle ownership. The Plan also proposes a IlllXtUre of uses
jncluding single family resldential, multi-family residential, general commerCIal,
neighborhood commerclal, and public facilines including schools, parks and water

rmpacts ill the EIS. Tne Master Plan currently COnsISts of 108 acres of multI.- ~U
family and 948 of single family.
The City intends to analyze densIties on the basis of dwelling units per net
developable acre. "Net developable acres If are the number of acres remarning
after subtracting from gross area all land that is unbuildable because It is
envrronmentally sensitive, park site, open space, transportation or utility comdor,
or for any other reason is mcapable of supporting development.
The applicant has proposed two areas for comme~...al uses. The first is an area
ne3I the intersection of the proposed Y -1 Corridor and the internal. main loop road
within the Plan area. The applicant currently proposes the designation of 51 acres
as Gen~~ Commercial in this area. The P1anning Commi~sion received testimony
expressing concern over the scale of commercial development in the Southwest
Yelm area as a potential threat to existing commercial businesses within the
current City of Yelm. A phasing plan for the buildout of commercial development

in the Master Plan area was suggested in conjunction with this testimony. The
Planning Commission heard testimony from the applicant that a severe linnt on the
scale of commerClal. structures would preclude any reasonable market for the
commerCIal property. The applicant proposed a linnt of 400,000 square feet of
commerc1al space in the Y-l Corridor area and a cap of 40,000 square feet for one
commercial structure. The applicant would be agreeable to a phasmg plan for the
buildout of commerClal space In the Y -1 Comdor area. The Master Plan subrmttal
also proposed the deSIgnation of five (5) acres near the clubhouse as CommercIal
Service. The Staff Report has recommended that commercial development ill the
commercIal distnct near the clubhouse be fumted. The applicant has acqw.esced
to an overalllinnt of 12,000 square feet of commercIal space WIth a linnt of 3,000
square feet per commerClal structure In the clubhouse area. The Master Plan map
has shown the deslgnatlon of a 16 acre parcel on the property owned by
Bosequette as General Commercial. Staff has recommended the replacement of
this designatJ.on with multi-family on the grounds that the additional commercIal
area is not ne~ssary to serve the Southwest Yelm area and would unreasonably
- compete with and draw market share from the eXlstmg busmess core of the City
of Yelm.

in the open space calculations because the golf course will be a pnvate golf course.
12. The Master Plan submittal proposes that the Plan area be served entirely by public
and private utilities, including sewer, water, ~' telephone, and cable TV

Dear Ms. Badger'
We scnt you a fetter on September 29th rcgardmg the MONS issued for th~ Conceptual Master plan
Approval for an 1 ,860-acre development in Southwest Ycbl1. In reviewing our database, it was
discovered that Ecology's Water Resources comments were not included in that letter The followmg
comments are the \Vater Resourcos concerns:
The Water Resources Program, Southwest RegIOnal Office, does not have adequate information to assess
the extent and validity of the water rights assocmted with the property It is unclear how ltngation water
will be supplied to the 456-acre golf COlU'se, or if the City of Yelm's current municipal water rights ate
adequate to supply domestic water to an additional 5,000 homes.
The City should be aware that water rights may not necessarily be detconined by the face value of n
certificate, and that any modification of eXisting rights Will require detailed evaluatIOn by the Depa11ment
of Ecology Itlcludmg a showing of historic water use lind evidence that they are not subject to
relillqul~hment for nOll-use.
We would be happy to provide tecrnucfil assistance to the City regarding water rights, but until additional
information IS provided Ecology is concerned tbat the City's eXIsting water right are not adequate to
provide water to this projeot.
If you have any questions or would like to respond to these comments;. please call Ms. Jill W"lsh (Water
Resources) at (360) 407~0274 or with any other questions regarding thiS proposal Ms. Kllri Rokstlld

a traffic study to be submItted to address off-sIte Impacts from thIS development. Thurston County
Development ReVIew requests the followmg:
1 Traffic AnalYSIS Scope of Work. ThIS can be accomphshed by the preparatIOn of a tnp
generatIOn/tnp dIstributIOn analysis for review/comment by affected JurIsdIctIOns.
2 Traffic AnalYSIS ThIS shall be a detailed report contammg at a mInImUm tnp generatIOn
data, tnp dIstributIOn map, intersection/roadway level of servIce and safety analYSIS. The
scope of work will determme the content of the thIS analysis.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the above referenced development. If you have any
questIOns I can be reached at 754-3355 extenSIOn 7528

Re MPD 98-8216-YL Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan
Dear Mr Davis
Thank you for your comments regarding the above referenced project. At this time the City IS
reviewing the application for conceptual master plan approval for a site that was Issued a
conceptual master plan approval in October of 1994, which has sense expired The original
approval was based on the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Southwest Yeim
Annexation, 1993, and the Addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Statement for the
Southwest Yelm Annexation, 1994
Consistent with the original approval the project will be required to complete a detailed traffic
analysis at the time of Final Master Plan Approval and/or specific development proposals At
such time the City would appreciate your involvement in developing the scope of work for the
traffic analysis
If I can be of further assistance or if you have any questions please contact me at 458-8408
Sincerely, ().'

below the maximum net density allowed for that area, any remaining
unused density may be transferred in the form of dwelling units to another
property owner within the Master Plan a,rea, subject to approval by the City

The City is considering the options available for financing the construction
of the Essential Utility and Transportation Corridors The projects will each
be constructed as complete water, sewer and street projects Those
options include a latecomer agreement, a Local Improvement District or a
combination of botll. In order to ~eep all options availabie, approval of the
conceptual Master Plan is conditioned upon two requirements First, the
City and the two major property owners in the Master Plan Area, Thurston
- Highlands Associates and the owner of Rainier Estates property, as well as
the Rainier Estates developer, must enter into an agreement to waive any
and all protests to any future latecomer ordinance/agreement and Local
Improvement District. Second, Thurston Highlands Associates must initiate
and circulate an LID petition for financing the construction of the main
loop road corridor within 30 days of Conceptual Master Plan approval by
the City Council. If for any reason the L.l 0 fails or is determined by the
city to be impractical, the Corridors shall be constructed on the basis of a
latecomer agreement/ordinance. If the Corridors are constructed pursuant
to a latecomer agreement, the City intends that the main loop road corridor
will be constructed and financed in phases concurrent with development.
Any such phasing will, however, provide that any portion of the main loop
road that is not fully constructed to City development standards will, until
such time as it is so constructed, be constructed to sub-grade elevation
with a . 1:lffaee for the entire remaining length of the

(..../"' L'NIRON1Y.t:El'ITAL REVIEW:
\ In February of 1993, the City of Yelm published an Environmental Impact
, '~ fl, Statement for the annexatlon and development of the Southwest Yelm area. That EIS
ill ..S) considered the unpacts associated with annexatlon as well as vanous conceptual
~ ~Mevelo~ments scenarios. With this ~xtensive environmental review in place, the ~ity
, detemnned that an addendum to the Fmal EIlVll"Onmental Impact Statement would satISfy
the need to review additional information and analysIS for tlus conceptual master plan
review. On July 11, 1994, 'the City of Yelm issued an Addendum to the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the Southwest Yelm Annexatlon. Based upon the
eVIdence submitted, the testImony g1ven~ and the analysIs of staff, the Phmmng

1. Thurston Highlands Associates is the lead applic\int requesting apptoval of tbetJJi J I
Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan. The Master Plan area encompas~es -~1~
~,860 acres and is located n~~est of, S~,_'~~~! 5~~__s~~~~~~L~f,-~-= \(J)jl~
Lewis reservation. The Master Plan area conSIsts of 37 ownership/parcels planned
together as a single planmng unit.
2. The Master Plan submittal includes text, maps and an environmental checklist.
The Master Plan map shows proposed land use deslgnauons, major transportanon
crrculation routes, major physical charactenstics on the property, proposed phases,
and property ownerslnp boundanes. The applicatJ.on follows the City of Yelm's
Master Plan Ordinance requrrements.
3 The Master Plan area was annexed to the City of Yelm on November 23, 1993
Pnor to annexation, the area was zoned under the County's Rural Resource
ReSldentlal 1/5 zomng deslgnanon. The Master Plan area is currently zoned as
RA..-5A under Section 17.40020(c) of the Yelm MUIDClpal Code, wlu.ch also
allows one unit per 5 acres.
4. Conceptual Master Plan approval is the first step m the Master Plan process. The
purpose of conceptual reVIew and approval IS "to establish general land use
policies to guIde detailed planmng for and development of the Master Plan area..
The Conceptual Master Plan shallldentJiy the generalized land uses, transportatlon

~(D).
6. The Planning Commission held public heanngs to consider the Conceptual Master
Plan on July 18, 1994 and August 1, 1994. Wntten comments were receIved
through August 15, 1994.
7 The original Conceptual Master Plan subrmttal shows a planmng area ill excess of
200 acres in a single ownerslup. The Plan also proposes a nnxture of uses
}ncluding single family reSIdential, multi-family residential, general commerCIal,
neIghborhood commercial, and public facilines including schools, parks and water
system facJines. The applicant proposes to serve the entrre Master Plan area WlID
public services including transportation, water, sewage, storm drmnage, other
utilines and open space. Tue subnnrtal includes two proposed eIghteen hole golf
courses and an eXlStmg public golf course, all Intended to be mamtamed as
quaJ.ified open spa~. The subIDlttal also includes t\Vo school SItes, totalling 23
acres, and a five (5) acre park site. The subrmrtal mcludes an area proposed for
community servic~ and commerCIal, for the purpose of SIring fire, police, or other
governmental services, If needed. The SUbIIDttal does not include any proposed
industrial uses.
8. Tne SOUIDwest YeIm Conceptual Master Plan submittal proposes the
accommodation of 5,000 dwelling umts, the number also used for consldermg
impacts in the EIS. Tne Master Plan currently COnslSts of 108 acres of multl.-
family and 948 of single family.
9. The City intends to analyze densities on the basis of dwelling units per net
developable acre. "Net developable acres II are the number of acres remaining
after subtracting from gross area all land that is unbuildable because it is
envrronmentally sensitive, park site, open spac~, transportation or utility comdor,
or for any other reason is incapable of supporting development.
10. The applicant has proposed two areas for commerC:..a1 uses. The first is an area
near the intersection of the proposed Y -1 Corridor and the internal main loop road.
within the Plan area. The applicant currently proposes the designation of 51 acres
as General Commercial in this area. The P1anning Commission received testimony
expressing concern over the scale of commercial development in the Southwest
Yelm area as a potential threat to existing commercial businesses within the
current City of Yelm. A phasing plan for the buildout of commercial development

in the Master Plan area was suggested in conjunction with this testimony. The
r "1 Q ~lanning Commission heard testimony from the applicant that a severe lirmt on the
\~ 7:/.: . L. scale of commercial structures would preclude any reasonable market for the
:\ \-J ~ ~ A commerCLa1. property. The applicant proposed a linnt of 400,000 square feet of
.~ \:.;'0....\ commercml space in the Y -1 Corridor area and a cap of 40,000 square feet for one
.~ ~~'1 mmerCIal structure. The applicant would be agreeable to a phasing plan for the
~ buildout of commerClal space m the Y -1 Comdor area. The Master Plan subffilttal
. ) also proposed the deslgnatI.On of five (5) acres near the clubhouse as CommerCIal
ry , Service. The Staff Report has recommended that commerCIal development in the
commercial distnct near the clubhouse be linnted. The applicant has acqmesced
to an overall linnt of 12,000 square feet of commerCIal space WIth a linnt of 3,000
square feet per commerCIal structure In the clubhouse area. The Master Plan map
has shown the deslgnatI.On of a 16 acre parcel on the property owned by
Bosequette as General Commercial. Staff has recommended the replacement of
tins designatIon Wlth mu1n-family on the grounds that the addinonal commerCIal
area is not necessary to serve the Southwest Yelm area and would unreasonably
- compete WIth and draw market share from the eXlstmg busmess core of the City
of Yelm.
11. The City is in the process of amending its Open Space and Park Ordinance to
provide for the dedicatI.on of open space in the amount of five percent (5 %) of net
built area in single family designauons and ten percent (10 %) of net built area in
multi-family designauons. Applying the proposed amendment to the Open Space
Ordin.ance, the followmg approxnnate dedicatI.ons of open space will be requrred:
Tnurston Highlands AssocA.3.tes - 56 Acres
RaJmer Estates - 11 Acres
Other Parcels - 16 Acres
Some concerns among Pl:mn!ng CommisslOn members were raIsed that the pnvate
golf course on the Thurston Highl::mds Asso~~tes parcel should not be included
in the open space calculations because the golf course will be a private golf course.
12.
e
The Master Plan submittal proposes that the Plan area be serred entirely by public
and private utilities, including sewer, water, ~, telephone, and cable TV.
1JDWotr
The applicant has shown the possible location for a future State Highway known
as the Y -1 Corridor. The applicant has shown the route for an internal main loop
road through the Plan area. The applicant has shown the dedication of right-of-
way access onto the Fort Lewis niilitary reservation in the locations shown on the
Master Plan map.

Based on the record berore the Planning Commission, the findings and conc!usions cf
the Planning Commission, the testimony and record before the City Coundi, and the
environmental review, the staff recommends adootion or the Conceptual Master Plan rer
Scuthwest Ye!m as provided in the Planning Commission's Findings and Conc!usions
with the following modifications:
1. The following paragraph shall be inserted as paragraph 4.CA, page 7 of the
Conclusions:
If, after the complete buiid-cut in any particular area within the Master Plan
area, the City determines that the net density in that particular area. is
below the maximum net density allowed fer that area, any remaining
unused density may be transferred in the form or dwelling units to another
property owner within the Master Plan area, subject to approval by the City.
Nothing in this paragraph shall. be deemed to allow development in excess
of the overall maximum of 5,000 dwelling units in the Master Plan area
2. Paragraph 4.0.1 of the Conclusions, page 7, shaH be modified to read as follows:
This conceptual Master Plan approvaJ requires the establishment of two
Essential Utility and Transportation Corridors. Tne Y-1 Corridor will serve
the park site and school site on the northern boundary and the commerc:a1
property throughout the remainder of the Corridcr. The second essential

corridor is the main loop road that connects to State Highway 507, loops
through the Thurston Highlands Associates parcel, intersects the Y-1
Corridor, follows Berry Valley Road and connects to State Highway 510 at
Killion Road. The main loop road corridor will be constructed as a
"Boulevardl/ under the Minimum Street Design Standards proposed for
adoption in the City's proposed Development Standards
'/'3- I
/ /
~ ~/
Paragraph 4 0 3 of the Conclusions, page 7, shall be modified to read as follows'
The City is considering the options available for financing the construction
or the Essential Utility and Transportation Corridors The projects will each
be constructed as complete water, sewer and -street projects. Those
options include a latecomer agreement, a Local Improvement District or a
combination of bot!1. In order to Keep all options availabie, approval at the
conceptual Master Plan is conditioned upon two requirements First, the
City and the two major property owners in the Master Plan Area, Tnurstcn
- Highlands Associates and the owner of Rainier Estates property, as well as
the Rainier Estates developer, must enter into an agreement to waive any
and all protests to any future latecomer ordinance/agreement and Local
Improvement District. Second, Thurston Highlands Associates must initiate
and circulate an LI D petition for financing the construdon of the main
loop road ccrridor wIthin 30 days of Conceptual Master F!an approval by
the City Council. If for any reason the LJ 0 fails or is determined by the
city to be impradicaJ, the Corridors shall be constructed on the basis of a
latecomer agreement/ordinance. If the Corridors are constructed pursuant
to a latecomer agreement, the City intends that the main loop road corridor
will be constructed and financed in phases concurrent with development.
Any such phasing will, however, provide that any portion of the main loop
road that is not fully constructed to City development standards will, until
such time as it is so constructed, be constructed to sub-grade elevation
with a maintenance coarse surface for the entire remaining length of the
right-of-way.
/4./ Paragraph 4.0.4 of the conclusions, page 8, shall be modified to read as follows'
I ./
V
The dedication of the Y-1 Corridor will be a sixty (60) foet nght-or-way to
the City. In order to allow the potential future improvement to a State
Highway, the City wiil impose a fifty-five (55) foot setback from each Side
of the dedicated right-of-way. This will ensure that structures are not
c'onstructed in the area that could potentially serve as the State Highway.
In the event that the City determines that there is no reasonable likelihood
that the Y-1 Corridor will be constructed as a State Highway, the setback
will be reduced to the standard setbacks required by the City's zoning
ordinance for ttle particular zoning designation.

in the Master pk area was suggested in conjunction Wlth this testimony. Tne
Pl~nn;ng Commission heard testimony from the applicant that a severe limit on the
scale of commercial structures would preclude any reasonable market for the
commercial property. The applicant proposed a limit of 400,000 square f~t or
commercial SlJace in the Y-1 Conidor area and a caD of 40,000 souare feet for one
.. --
commercial structure. The applicant would be agreeable to a phasing plan for the
buildout of commerClal space In the Y -1 Comdor area. Tne Master Plan sub1!llttal
also proposed the deslgnanon of five (5) acres near the clubhouse as Commerc-..al
Se:rYl~. Tue Staff Report has recommended that commercial development In the
commercial district near the clubhouse be limited. The applicant has acqmesced
to an overall limit of 12,000 square feet of commercial space WIth a linnr of 3,000
square feet per commerc:a1 structure ill the clubhouse area. L1e Master Plan map
has shown the designatlon of a 16 acre parcel on the property owned by
Boseauette as General Commercial. Staff has recommended the re"01.a~=nenr of
.. ..
this designation with multi-family on the grounds that t.i.e additional commerc:al.
area is not necessary to serve the Southwest Yelm area and would unreasonably
- comcete with and draw market share from the e::nsting- busmess care of the C:r="
- ..... - ~
of Yelm.
11. The City is in the process of amending itS Open Space and Park Ordinance to
provide for the dedication of ope:.t space in the amount of five percenr (5 %) of ne~
built area in smgle family deSlgn2.tlons and terr percent (10 %) or ne~ built area m
multi.-family deSIgnations. Applymg the proposed amendmenr to the Operr Space
Ordinance, the followmg approximate dedic:inons or open space will be reqUITed:
Tnurston Highlands .A...sscc.ates - 56 Ac:::-es
Ramier Estates - 11 Ac.:.es

Some concerns among PbnT11T1g Commlssion me=nbers we;:e raJ.Sed that the pnvare
golf course on the Thurston High I ~T1rj~ Assoc~s parcel should not be included
in the ope::l space c31cu1ations because the golf course will be a pnvate golf course.
12. Tne Maste= Plan submittal proposes that the Plan area be ser"led entirely by puolic
and private utilities, including sewer, water, elec:nc:ty, telephone, and cable TV.
13. The applicant has shown the possible location for a future State Highway known
as the Y-l Corridor. The auolic:mt has shown the route for an inte:nal main loon

14. In conjunction with the Annexation of the Southwest Yelm area, the applicant
signed an agreement obligatIng it to pay the costs of the City' s Wastewater Reuse
Program to the exte:J.t attributable to the annexed area. T.ne City has obtained a
c.entennial Clean Water Act grant that requrres a local matching share. Staff has
determined that the applicant's share is forty percent (40 % ). Staff has notified the
applicant that fifty perce:J.t (50%) of its share 1$ due by August 15, 1994. Staff
recommends that, as a condition of Conceptual Master Plan approval, tins payment
first be made. Tne Wastewater Reuse Program will require areas of open land for
irrigation. The proposed golf course ill the Thurston Highlands Assocates
ownersm:O' is well-suIted for such apnlication. Staff recommends that the
. -~
installation of water and sewer lines necessary to se::-Y'e the Plan area. as well as
. - .
all the pernnent fa~..liues, be constructed in phases ccnc~em WIth development.
As such., staff also recommends tha~ pnor to final jy:[aster Plan approval~ the Ciry
adopt an ordinance requiring inst~ nation or sewer and water lines in phases as well
- as a latecomer a!ITee:nent nroVldinz for the reimburse:ne:J.t of the costs of such.

RE Thurston Highlands Master Plan Application and SEP A Addendum
Dear Bob'
I am gomg to be out of town for the next three weeks, but wanted to make sure that we are all
workmg under the same understandmg.
The City of Yelm has received an applIcatlOn for a conceptual master plan which wIll effectively
reinstate the old master plan, with some mmor updates reflectmg the current sewer Situation. Your
letter of June 18, 1999 referenced 500 umts of water supply which is tied to your Phase I, but that
can only be proVided if Thurston Highlands gives the City the water rights and well site currently
proposed for the Thurston Highlands property The City does not presently have any surplus water
What we mdicated was some potential where the overall water right was larger than 500 umts,
comnuttmg to an intenm use of some ofthe surplus water until such time as prOVision can be made
to get recycled water to use for imgatlOn. On that latter point, we did not say that Thurston
Highlands could not use recycled water for imgation purposes, only that it was not required In the
use plan because we were unsure of your timmg. The environmental reView for your master plan
would be an appropriate place to explore and alternatives.
Very truly yours,
OWENS DAVIES MACKIE, P S

RE: Thurston Highlands Master Plan Application and SEP A Addendum
Dear SandIe, Cathy, and Shelly,
Tills letter IS to summanze conversations I have had recently WIth you and WIth your offices and to
set forth mformatlOn we are obtammg from Torn SkIllmgs, P.E., of SkIllmgs and Connelly The
letter follows the outlme of SandIe 11ackIe:s January 26, 1999, letter It also incorporates the
dISCUSSIOns and the rmnutes of our Apnl 7, 1999, meetmg at the City of Yelm that included Frank
Kirkbnde aI1d Paul DeTray representing the Henry Dragt Property
Joint Application
VVe have been and contmue to be SUpportIve of the concept of a Jomt applIcatIOn of Thurston
Highlands ,and the Dragt property as set forth on the first page of the letter of January' 26, 1999
Subsequent to that meetmg, we have undertaken the development of a Conceptual 11aster Plan and
a working draft of an EIS Addendum. In addItion, we have,pursued mformatlOn conGernmg well
water SItes and a program on LID for water and sewer extensIOn to the property as well as an RID
for road extensIOns. VVe have also developed a Phase I concept in two dIfferent locatIOns on the
Thurston Highlands 11aster Program.
VVe would re~terate our deSIre to work Jomtly Under the VVashmgton State EnVIronmental PolIcy
Act (SEP A), a reVIew of a project ma.ndates that the "cumulatIve Impacts" be conSIdered for other
potentIal actIOns that may affect tills development. It would appear that the most cost effectIve way
to comply WIth SEPA IS to pursue aJomt property analYSIS m the addendum. it IS WIth some
dIsappOIhtment that, following our transnuttal of EISs and a 11aster Plan to Frank Kirkbride, the
meetmg we antICIpated havmg shortly after that transmittal in early 11ay has not occurred.
Numerous phone calls and attempts to JrutIate the meetmghave not been siIccessful to date. We
contmue to be illghly deSIrable of pursumg a Jomt applIcatIOn for the cOmbmatIOll of water; sewer,
and road Improvements as well as the EISaddenduni, However, m addItIOn to our not .bemg able
to arrange a meetmg, we have not been able to get a status call nor a letter

umts--one at the southeast entrance and another at the southwest entrance. In addItIon, a
modIfied golf course of 18 holes (rather than 36) and the activIty center redesIgn have been
developed m the Master Plan. Phase I ofTHA's applIcatIOn will be for 500 umts, a 9"'"hole golf
course, support facIlIties, and the entry boulevard. The Master Plan mcorporates K.Irkbnde's
conceptual sIte plan, cIrculatIOn plan, and uses A copy of thIS map IS enclosed. pursuant to
SandIe Mackle's letter, page 2, we have developed the mformatIOn reqUIred under the
applIcatIon YMC 17 62.05(C) ThIs mformatIOn wIll be a part of the applIcatIOn package.
2. ApplIcatIon of Final Master Plan. Some of the same mformatIOn m the conceptual Master Plan
IS con tamed m the final Master Plan apphcatIOn, WIth appropnate fees for both.
3 THA should have the flexibilIty to locate umts wherever IS appropnate. ImtIally 500 .:!:. umts
located as follows
. 300 dwellmg umts m the northeast comer, adjacent to DragtJ DeTray's subdIVISIOns
. 200 dwellIng umts m the southwest comer along the new Entry Boulevard fI,"om
Highway 507
. All 500 dwellmg umts could be m the southwest comer dependmg on whether or not
DragtJ DeTray develop Loop Road
Fees
SandIe's January 26,1999, letter IS not preCIse as to thesplIttmg of fees, however, as we
understand It, there wIll be a $1,000 ob applIcatIOn fee fqr each of the two applIcatIOns, that of
Thurston Highlands and that of Dragt. In aqdItIOn, there IS a $1,500 00 deposIt for the EIS
addendum to cover scopmg (splIt 50/50) Furthermore, each property owner needs to deposIt
$5,00000 towards the future City processmg,fees that mcludefees for attorneys and the City's
contract erigmeers, Skillmgs and Connelly Each property own~r has lustonc fees for proven
work done on sewer and water applicatIOnS to Waslungton State DOE. The Thurston Highlands'
portIon of that would be $28,012.22 (Dragt's IS $16,716 00)
My ca1culatIOnsare that Thurston HigW;mds would be reqUIred to pay the followmg:
Past ProfeSSIOnal SerVIces Fees--"water, sewer, etc $28,012 22
Master Plan ApplIcation Fee (THA) $ 1,00000
SEPA Addendum (50% of $1,50000) (THA & Dragt) $ 75000
DeposIt for Penmttmg ServIces (THA) $ 5.000,00
Total $34,762 22
We would appreCIate venficatIon of our calculatIOns.
Water Rights and Water Wen Issues - Based on Conversations With Sandie Mackie and
Information We are in the Process of Obtaining from Tom Skilling's Office
It IS our understandmg that there IS a reqUIrement for one, and optionally two, one-acre well SItes
on the Thurston Highlands Property that would be part of the Master Plan. applIcatIOn. We have
shown two SItes on the Master Plan (the SIte and easements can be surveyed after located and the
Master Plan modIfied to reflect pressure locatIOn) In addItion, we need to update mformatIOn on
Thurston HIgWands to supply to the City and SkillIngs tQ'remstate the test well applications WIth
Washmgton State Department of Ecology These applIcatIOns will be completed by the CIty'S
engmeersand consultants, and appropriate fees provided for by THA We understand there is an
mItIal fee of approxImately $1,700 OOt that should accompany these forms. Please have your City
Engmeer adVIse us as to the applIcation amount or fee.

Road, Water, and Sewer Improvements
Thurston Highlands IS explonng two alternatIves. The first alternatIve consIsts oran.access from
the northeast which would mclude water, sewer and road connectIOns from the Dragt Property (at
the pomt where Improvements were stopped at Thompson Creek) to the Thurston HigWands
Property It would appear that If thIS option IS pursued, that desIgn should occur by the Dragt
applIcatIOn for that road, sewer, anq water deSIgn and locatIOn. UtIlItIes sIzmg would necessanly
need to be mcluded to accommodate both early phases as well as the future phases of Thurston
HigWands. It IS our understand that the City--upon agreement WIth THA, Dragt and other affected
property owriers--would form the appropnate road Improvement dIStnCtS (RIDs) and water and
sewer Improvement dIStnCtS (LIDs) to accommodate thIS development. Development of roads and
utilItIes would be through the LID/RID wIth partICIpatIOn by both Dragt and Thurston HigWands.
AlternatIvely, the southwest access would reqUIre development by Thurston HigWands of roads,
water, and sewer WIth a potentIal future loop to the northeast--1.e., the area under conSIderatIon m
the first alternatIve.
Page 3, Environmental Review
Per our meetmgon Apnl 7, 1999, It IS our understandIng that we will pursue a verydetaIledEIS
Addendum. Thus, the fee would be $1,500 00, and review by the City would be on a consultant
baSIS WIth theIr fees paId by both applIcants R.W Thorpe & ASSOCIates has mItIated thIS based
upon a prelml1nary SCOpIng set forth at the meetIng whIch Includes the follOWIng-
Prelml1nary SCOpIng
1 Update.
a) Po.pulatIOn, Housmg, Schools, and Employment
l;J) Land Use - Includmg PhaSIng
c) ComprehensIve PlannIng, Zomng, GMA, and CapItal FaCIlItIes Plan
d) ESA (Endangered SpecIys Act) and other recent legIslatIOn and Issues
e) Parks, RecreatIOn, and Golf Course Amendments
2. DetaIled. AnalYSIS
a) Land Use--1.e., Master Plan Update and AlteniatIves
b) CrrculatIon Plan
c) TranspIratIOn Impacts
d) Wetlands mventory and analYSIS
e) WildlIfe, Fish, and RecreatIOn
f) Infrastructure Plans, PhaSIng, and FundIng Progress
R.W Thorpe & ASSOCIates has developed an extenSIve eXIstIng condItIOns data base and will
refine other elements asmformatlOn becomes available. We have developed a sectIOn on land use
and a crrculatIOn plan based on the reVIsed Master Plan, as well as mformatIOn on recreatIOn and
reVIsed golf course deSIgn. We are aWaItIng an updated wetland Inventory and the aSSIgnment of a
transportatIOn consultant to comph~te those steps. Our eXIstIng data mcludes both projects and the
Master Plan concept mcludmg Phase I of the Dragt Property We Intend to follow a Jomt SEP A
AnalYSIS unless dIrect~d to do otherWIse by the City
We assume that the EIS Addendum cost wIll be shared between the two property owners. It
would seem eqUItable that the cost should be shared equally and that the SIze of the property .or the
number ofumts does not affect the envrronmental analYSIS, only the fact that there are two projects
and two parcels Thus It would appe<;rr that a 50/50 splIt IS an eqUItable baSIS to covers the EIS
addendum. ThIS would be supported by the fact that the prevIOUS EIS and all technical consultants
were paId for by THA although Dragt receIved a sIgmficant benefit by having a Master Plan and
AnnexatIOn approval. '

I have conveyed to Paul LIao of Thurston Highlands the reqUIrement of the City that a past fee of
$28,012.22 IS necessary to move thIS project ahead. In adqitiOn, a depOSIt for $5,000 00; a
$1,000 00 Master Plan ApplIcation, and 50% of the SEP A fee (i.e., $750 00) is required. Based
on a conversatiOn of thIS date, It IS my understandmg that Thurston Highlands IS m concurrence
WIth thIS request.
We would request, as we dId at the meetmg, assIgmng a target hIgh end fixed fee for both
attorneys fees and outsIde engineenng fees Thurston Highhinds will incur sIgmficant processmg
costs for the EIS addendum, Master Planmng, Engmeenng, and consultants fees for wetlan<;ls,

a) 200 to 300 dwelimg umts m the northeast comer, adjacent to Dragtl DeTray's

from Highway 507
c) a;11500 dwellmg umts could be m the southwest comer dependmgon whether or
not Dragtl DeTray develop LoopRoad
2. The CIty mdlcated recently that they have other places to acc~pt the reclaImed water, thus
they don't need THA"s site for reclaImed water dIsposal If so, why does THA pay for
$28,012.22 Without the benefitofusmg reclaimed water for Imgatmg the golf course?
3 THA assigned our nght for the City to apply and obtam water nghts at THA's site because
the City ~an get It faster THA must have an agreement With the City allowmg THA to use
ItS own well for potable and rrngatIon water Any excess water can be delIvered to other
users With assessment of a latecomers' user charge to compensate for THA's pre-capital
mvestment.
4 Make sure that the City has Dragtl DeTray sign the Inter-ReCiprocate Easement for buildmg
the Loop Road.
5 Venfy that the City, per Sandl~ MaclGe's conversation, will proVide at least 500 umts'
water supply plus addltIon~1 water for lITIgatIon at regular City's water user charges. Cali.
the City provide more than 500 umts?
6 If Dragtl DeTray do not plan to complete the Loop Road form their property to the northeast
comer of THA's Site, THA may norbe able to connect sewer to the City's sewer at the
most econoll11cal cost. THA could connect the sewer from the southeast comer, however, It
IS too far away from the City's. sewer Therefore, the City must have RID/LIDto bulld the
seWer on the Loop Road from Dragtl DeTray's property Tills would reqlhre a Signed Inter-
Reciprocate Easement Agreement between Dragtl DeTray and the City
7 Our other nghts to be negotiated With the City mclude.

Dear Frank.
You were askmg CathIe Carlson for a completeness letter on your applIcatIOn. The applIcatIOn was
filed after the eXpIratIOn of the prelImmary master plan and thus cannot be complete wIthout a master
plan.
Further, an applIcatIOn reqUIres an envIronmental checklIst, whIch was not done m your case I
understand we are meetmg Wednesday, so we can address the subject m more detail at that time.
Presently the CIty consIders all dIscussIOns and documents to be m the nature of prelimmary
submissIons, as no project can move forward until a prehmmarj master plan has been submItted for
approval.
Very truly yours,

Schedule A, (hereinafter referred to as "the Developer")
WITNESSETH
1 The City has agreed to undertake the review and approval of a mixed use
planned unit development, referred to as the Southwest Yelm Annexation, which includes
property owned by the Developer, provided the review is at no cost to the taxpayers of
the City of Yelm
2 Through 1994/1995 the City has completed the annexation, comprehensive
planning, and conceptual master plan for the properties In question
3 During the development process, the Developer has supported a pilot
program with the City of Yelm to identify and locate a reuse and recycling waste water
program which is necessary to serve the City under City permits and is necessary to
serve the planned developments The water reuse facilities plan is complete and
approved by the Washington Department of Ecology
4 The parties desire to provide a means for the City to continue the pilot
project through the construction phase, which includes secunng necessary rights of way
and easements for the recycled water line Further the City desires to locate the water
line in the right of way for the planned development to assure ease of access and low
cost operation and maintenance
5 The City also desires to secure the Developer's assurance with respect to
necessary dedications and cost reimbursement to assure the City of waste disposal sites
for its reuse and recycling program, regardless of the timing of the Developer's project,
and protect the City and its taxpayers should the planned development not proceed
WHEREFORE, for the consideration recited below the parties do agree
1 The City of Yelm shall contract for and fund a survey of the right of way for
the City reuse and recycling line pursuant to the City pilot project.
2 The Developer hereby consents to the entry of the City onto their property
and the identification of the right of way identified above in a location consistent with the
approved conceptual master plan for the central loop road and other roads on the
C "IWP51 153IYELMIDRAGT.AGR
approved conceptual master plan, consistent with the City's needs for right of way for
reuse and recycling
3 The Developer agrees that the City may enter onto their property and
Identify rapid infiltration basins for the storage and discharge of reuse and recycled
water, consistent with the recommendations of the approved water reuse facilities plan
4 The Developer agrees that they will dedicate to the City the right of way
determined consistent with the conceptual master plan by the City (both roadway and
utility) within 30 days after completion of the survey and request by the City for the
dedication (or in the City's discretion a "reserved for dedication" which would permit
continuation of present uses and ownership, but would designate the area for dedication
at an appropriate time in the future)
5 The parties agree that the costs incurred by the City would be appropriately
reimbursable costs to the City were the City to form a Local Improvement District. The
parties also agree that this Predevelopment Agreement saves the parties significant
costs of LID formation where there are only a few parties affected by the local
improvement. The Developer does hereby agree to reimburse the City for its actual
costs of surveying, engineering, and administration of the improvements contemplated
herein, specifically including costs to identify (a) road right of way, (b) reuse and
recycling right of way, (c) reuse and recycling rapid infiltration basins, and (d)
stormwater discharge and storage areas, other engineering, and site designations
agreed by the parties to this Agreement in writing
6 Reimbursement to the City for all costs incurred by the City pursuant to this

ORDINANCE NO. ill
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF YELM, WASHINGTON, adopting a
master plan permIt processing ordmance.
WHEREAS the City of Yelm has the potential for reviewmg large master plan projects
which require a significant expenditure of funds on engineering and legal counsel to review and
approve the necessary submittals; and
WHEREAS the City IS concerned that such projects could overwhelm the CIty planning
budget unless steps are taken to assure that the City will collect all fees due and the taxpayers not
be at risk of loss by reason of such applications; and
WHEREAS the City has already provided that consultant costs are payable on a
reimbursable basis, but has not specifically identified how such costs are to be collected;
NOW THEREFORE the City ofYelm does hereby adopt and ordain:
1. Applications for conceptual master plans, final master plans, and any project for
which environmental review other than DNS or MDNS is required, shall follow the gUldelines
set forth below
2. At the time the application is filed, the City shall establish an account for permit
processing for each major phase of the approval process. In addition to the fees payable with the
application, the applicant or applicants as appropriate shall pay to the City the sum of $5,000 for
each plan to be reviewed for approval.
3. The funds so paid shall be deposited in an account, for the benefit of the City to
pay engineering, legal, and other fees incurred by the City in connection with the project review.
Such fees shall be paId at the customary rates and charges applicable under the City's
agreements with the consultants. The City shall be responsible for assigning work activities and
assuring the work billed is reasonable and appropriate to the project assigned. The City's
determmatIon shall be conclusive on such matters.
4 Consultants hIred to review the project for the City shall be advised that the
City's liability is limited to the funds on deposit and that they are to stop work if at any time the
funds on deposit are insufficient to pay for work m progress.
5. The City shall adVise the applicant whenever funds on deposit are less than
$1,000 or are anticipated to be insufficient to pay for required services. The fund may be
replenished in increments of $5,000 or more. Any interest earned on the account may be used by
the City to pay for services chargeable to the fund.

6. At the conclusion of the planning process, or the expiration of more than one year
with no activity, the permit application may be terminated and the balance of the funds, after
deducting all charges due the City, may be returned to the applicant.
7 The City is to use reasonable prudence and dihgence in the management of the
consultants reviewmg a project, but the scope and response of such review services shall be
solely in the City's discretion. Further all work done by the consultants shall belong to the City
and in the case of work by counsel, the City and the Counsel shall retail attorney-client
relatIonship and nothing in this process shall create an attorney-client or other relationship
between the applicant and the City's retained consultant or counsel.
8. Where the City has incurred expenses in connection with project review on a
property, and said expenses have not been reimbursed, together with interest at 5 6% on any
sums delinquent over one year, the City shall take no steps to process any application on such
properties until such past due payments are paid.
EffectIve Date: This ordinance shall become effective on and after January 29. 1999.

RE. Thurston Highlands
Gentlemen.
I have spoken With both of you about processing the Thurston Highlands applications through the
CIty ofYelm. We have had numerous presubmission meetings and the time has come to commence
formal proceedings If we are to achieve any approvals this year, and particularly by early summer
wluch both of you indicated may be desirable.
Since both cases need to be processed and both involve many similar questions, it will be cost
effectIve for both groups and the City to act jointly. We are prepared, however, to proceed with only
one should the other elect not to proceed for any reason.
The prior conceptual plan has expired and as such the land has reverted to its preplan zone. YMC
17 62.070 Nevertheless, the property is designated for master plan development in the City
Comprehensive Plan, and a development proposal in the same order of magnitude as the prior plan
would be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and supporting environmental and utility work
done by the City In the mean time.
Since both of you are proposIng to concurrently pursue conceptual and final master plans and
specIfic development proposals, the following program is recommended. The two of you should
work together to coordinate submissions and I will be happy to facilitate to assure a smooth and
timely processIng.

1. Application for a conceptual master plan
a. ApplIcation YMC 17 62.050(C) (copy attached, Exhibit 1). The City would accept
an applIcatIOn to readopt the prior conceptual master plan. The enumerated Items m
paragraph "c" referenced above should deal With only new or changed conditions,
or changes requested m the conceptual plan approval (copy attached, ExhibIt 2)
b The fee for a conceptual plan approval is $1,000 plus consultmg costs, which may
be equitably shared between the two applIcants. Engmeering and legal services, to
the extent required, Will bill to the Thurston Highlands or DeTray propertIes where
the Issues are severable and jointly where the issues are in common. Consistent with
our new polIcies on permitting fees and processes for master plans, your joint
application fee of $1,000 and processing deposit of $5,000 is due at the time of
applIcation. (A copy of the processing fee ordmance IS attached, Exhibit 3 )
c. The conceptual master plan reqUIres an envIronmental checklist and a property
owners lIst Within 1,000 feet of the combmed master plan properties, which must also
be delIvered at the time of the application together with the checklIst fee of$150 If
you merely seek to remstate the old master plan checklist, you may reference the
pnor EIS, the completIOn of the City sewer plant and associated environmental
documents, and the CIty Comprehensive Plan and associated documents, and focus
only on any changes or new proposals which were not prevIously considered.
Project-specIfic issues should be dealt with in the final master plan which IS to be
processed concurrently
d. The conceptual master plan will be heard by the Planmng CommIssion With
recommendations to the City Council which Will take final action.
2. Application for final master plan
a. Application YMC 17 62.060(E) (copy attached, ExhibIt 4) Since each of you have
dlstmct proposals for final master plans, we would expect separate applIcations and
separate fees-$l,OOO each. This will permit the continued processmg of one
application should the other elect to stop or delay at any time. All consultmg time
shall be billed speCIfically to each project. The CIty has asked me to be actIvely
mvolved in the processing due to the size of the projects, the lImited availabilIty of
City staff, and the number of complex issues mvolved to assure that the CIty acts m
a proper manner m approvmg and condItioning each of the projects. My hourly
charges for 1999 are $225 and my paralegal charges are $75 per hour, WhICh Will be
billed to the CIty but which will be reImbursable by the applicants. Engmeering
reVIew by SCA or Skillings-Connolly, Inc., as required, shall be bIlled at the contract
rates m effect for the City during 1999 We have instituted a new fee program to
assure that the City will not be at risk for the costs of major permit processing. The

$1,000 applicatIOn fee, together with the $5,000 permIt processing deposIt, WIll be
due at the time of the filIng of your application.
b Project-specIfic issues, should be dealt with in connection with your final master
plan, as contemplated in your ongmal conceptual approval. At present the CIty does
not have capacity to serve water to either projects, nor did either project avail itself
of the OppOrtunIty to participate in the 1998 sewer LID Thus arrangements must be
made for extendmg sewer, identifying on-site Class A reclaimed water use SItes, and
identifying a means for serving the project with water The City will consider a wide
range of alternatives to solve the various problems, including transfer of water rights,
well sites, and improvement of local reclaimed water use sites wluch may be used
generally together with dedication of suitable sites for general City use at a later date.
The key is that the cost of facilities and services necessary to serve your project must
be paid for by the developers. The City does not have funds to pay for present
oversizing, but is certainly WIlling to entertain proposals which mclude
reimbursement oflate comer agreements. I belIeve the environmental documents are
an appropnate velucle through wluch to explore vanous alternatives. Issues to be
dealt with would mclude phasing, timing, and SIzing of facilIties, vesting and other
Issues related to a long-term build out.
Traffic is another project-specific issue to be addressed. The shift of the first phases
of Thurston Highlands to the northwest suggests both projects will be accessing the
City transportation net through a Killion Road extension. The City has been talkIng
WIth Messrs. Edwards, Ramirez, and Huddleston about a design of a road for the
extension of Killion Road south ofYelm Avenue. The conversation centers around
the present dedication of a right of way and the phasing or scale of current
construction. You may wish to contact Mr Mike Edwards directly to facilitate joint
dIscussions. Your projects seem logically to tie into the Killion Road extension and
a joint road project may be a cost-effective Way of solving your access problems. As
we have dIscussed with you or your clients before, City condemnatIOn action, m aid
of your projects, cannot be expected of the CIty
As noted above, we are prepared to process an individual master plan if the
companIOn plan within the overall area is delayed for any reason.
c. Environmental reVIew Each of your master plans reqUIres mdependent
envIronmental review, dealing WIth traffic, sewer, road, and site-specific plan and
development-related issues. The level of detaIl is even greater for the portIons or
phases of your project whIch are included in specific plats or other construction
permIt approvals. The fee for a checklist is $150 and EIS (includmg addendums or
supplementals) IS $1,500 Given the scope of your projects, and the lack ofpnor
detailed analysis of water, sewer, and transportation solutions, which were to be done
in conjunction with the final master plans, I would encourage each of you to consider

an addendum at the very least, and a supplemental EIS If necessary Your checkhst
or proposed scope for an addendum or supplemental environmental documents IS due
at the time of the project application
3. Joint planning schedule
Each of you will need to coordmate closely with your counterpart to keep the jomt approval process
on schedule. The CIty'S commitment to both of you is to continue processing one applicatIOn If the
other slows down. If your client is the one who delays, however, the City is less able to predict when
trmev;.ill allow to complete the approval. With this thought in mind, I recommend the following
schedule, if you plan on moving ahead with mitIal grading tlus summer The schedule assumes no

to be at an end. We have made the CIty concerns and issues well known and I beheve you gentlemen
clearly understand what is required to aclueve planning approval. It is time to complete the planmng
on your client's site and we are prepared to conclude that process. If fees are delinquent for any
project, processmg that project will stop.
We had prevIously proposed a development agreement, but have not heard from your clients in that
regard. Smce the CIty is not prepared to front engineering or legal services required to review these
complex projects, we have adopted a perrmt processing ordinance for master plan reVIew wluch
reqUlres that apphcants deposit a $5,000 processing deposit which the City will hold in an account

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
TO CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF YELM
SOUTHWEST YELM CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN
October 12, 1994
MEMORANDUM
TO
Mayor and City Council Members, City or Yeim
FROM
Staff, City of Yelm
RE.
Conceptual Master Plan, Southwest Yelm
DATE
October 12, 1994
Based on the record before the Planning CommIssion, the findings and conclusions of
the Planning Commission, the testimony and record before the City Council, and! the
environmental review, the staff recommends adootion of the Conceptual Master Plan for
Southwest Yelm as provided in the Planning Commission's Findings and Conclusions,
wIth the following modifications
1 The following paragraph shall be inserted as paragraph 4 C 4, page 7 of the
Conclusions
If, after the complete build-out in any particular area within the Master Plan
area, the City determines that the net density in that particular area is
below the maximum net denSity allowed for that area, any remaining
unused density may be transferred in the form of dwelling units to another
property owner within the Master Plan area, subject to approval by the City
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to allow development in excess
of the overall maximum of 5,000 dwelling units in the Master Plan area.
2. Paragraph 4 0 1 of the Conclusions, page 7, shall be modified to read as follows'
This conceptual Master Plan approval requires the establishment of mo
Essential Utility and Transportation Corridors. The Y-1 Corridor will serve
the park site and school site on the northern boundary and the commercial
property throughout the remainder of the Corridor The second essential
Q~'i_~
corridor is the main loop road that connects to State Highway 507, loops
through the Thurston Highlands Associates parcel, intersects the Y-1
Corridor, follows Berry Valley Road and connects to State Highway 510 at
Killion Road The main loop road corridor will be constructed as a
"8oulevardll under the Minimum Street Design Standards proposed for
adoption in the City's proposed Development Standards
3 Paragraph 4 0 3 of the Conclusions, page 7, shall be modified to read as follows
The City is considering the options available for financing the construction
of the Essential Utility and Transportation Corridors The projects will each
be constructed as complete water, sewer and street projects Those
options include a latecomer agreement, a Local Improvement District or a
combination of bot/1 In order to :.<eep all optiorJ3 available, approval of the
conceptual Master Plan is conditioned upon two requirements First, the
City and the two major property owners in the Master Plan Area, Thurston
-. Highlands Associates and the owner of Rainier Estates property, as well as
the Rainier Estates developer, must enter into an agreement to waive any
and all protests to any future latecomer ordinance/agreement and Local
Improvement District. Second, Thurston Highlands Associates must initiate
and circulate an L.I D petition for financing the construction of the main
loop road corridor wIthin 30 days of Conceptual Master Plan approval by
the City Council If for any reason the L.! 0 fails or is determined by the
Clty to be impractical, the Corridors shall be constructed on the basis of a
latecomer agreement/ordinance. If the Corridors are constructed pursuant
to a latecomer agreement, the City intends that the main loop road corridor
will be constructed and financed in phases concurrent with development.
Any such phasing will, however, provide that any portion of the main loop
road that is not fully constructed to City development standards Will, untIl
such time as it is so constructed, be constructed to sub-grade elevation
with a maintenance coarse surface for the entire remaining length of the
right-of-way
4 Paragraph 4 0 4 of the conclusions, page 8, shall be modified to read as follows
The dedication of the Y-1 Corridor will be a Sixty (60) foot nght-of-way to
the City. In order to allow the potential future improvement to a State
Highway, the City will impose a fifty-five (55) foot setback from each side
of the dedicated right-of-way This will ensure that structures are not
constructed in the area that could potentially serve as the State Highway
In the event that the City determines that there is no reasonable likelihood
that the Y-1 Corridor will be constructed as a State Highway, the setback
will be reduced to the standard setbacks required by the City's zoning
ordinance for the particular zoning designation
5 Paragraph 4.0 7 of the Conclusions, page 8, shall be modified to read as follows
2
p
,
.;i.
";!...~
Thurston Highlands Associates and Rainier Estates (or the owner of the
Rainier Estates property) shall enter into an agreement amending the
Southwest Yelm Annexation Agreement tc provide for a Budget Distribution
and Payment Schedule for the financial contributions to the Wastewater
Reuse Program required by such Agreement. Such agreement shall also
establish that such financial contributions shall be paid from a letter of
credit from each party, and establish a Wastewater Reuse Budget
Committee, with the sole task of advising the City and the Department of
Ecology as to the distribution of funds for the Wastewater Reuse Study
Such agreement shall be signed and executed by October 17, 1994 and
such letters of credit, or a cashier's check for the full amount of each
party's obligation under such agreement, shall be delivered to the City by
the close of business on October 19, 1994
6 __ Paragraph 4 0 8 of the Conclusions, page 8, shall be deleted and replaced with
the language
Thurston Highlands Associates shall, as a condition of approval, enter into
an agreement with the City to grant easements, a lease or a license to the
City, or a combination thereof, to make use of its property for land
application and storage of wastewater, in a manner recommended by the
Wastewater Reuse Study
7 Paragraph 4 E.1 of the Conclusions, page 9, shall be modified to read as follows
CommercIal development in the 30-acre commercial tract along the Y-1
Corridor of the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan area shall be
limited to a total of 330,000 square feet of commercial floor space to be
phased with development as follows
a. Fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet of commercial floor space wiil
be allowed initially upon final Master Plan approval
b The remaining 315,000 square feet of commercial floor space will be
allowed after the construction of 1,250 dwelling units (25% of the
total dwelling units allowed) in the entire Master Plan area, OR, 5
years from the date of final Master Plan approval, whichever is
earlier
8 Paragraph 4 E.3 of the Conclusions, page 9, shall be modified to read as follows
CommercIal development within the five (5) acre commercIal designation
near the clubhouse in the Thurston Highlands Associates ownership shall
be developed according to the City's commercial zoning code.

routes and case file number shall be identified UIJon the
official zomng map. These distncts and routes shall only be
effective upon approval of a Master Plan meetJ.ng the
requirements of Conceptual Approval and this Ordinance.
Section 5(D).
6. The Planmng Comrmsslon held public heanngs to consIder the Conceptual Master
Plan on July 18, 1994 and August 1, 1994. Wntten comments were receIved
through August 15, 1994.
7 The origi...nal Conceptual Master Plan subnnttal shows a planmng area In excess of
200 acres m a smgle ownerslnp. The Plan also proposes a rm.:tture of uses
_mcluding smgle family resIdentIal, multi-family resldennal, general commercIal,
neIghborhood commerCIal, and public facilitles mcluding schools, parks and water
system facilines. The applicant proposes to serve the enore Master Plan area WIll
public semces mcluding transponanon, water, sewage, storm draJ.nage, oilier
utilines and open space. Tne submlttal mcludes two proposed eIghteen hole golf
courses and an eXIstIng public golf course, all Intended to be mamtamed as
qualified open. space. The subrmttal also mcludes t\vo school sItes, totalling 23
acres, and a five (5) acre park site. The subrmttal mcludes an area proposed for
commumty servIce and commerCIal, for the purpose of Slung fire, police, or other
govemmenral semces, If needed. Tne subrmttal does not mclude any proposed
industr.illl uses.
8 Tne Southwest Yelrn Conceptual Master Plan subrmttal proposes the
accommodatron or 5,000 dwelling umts, the number also used for consldenng
illlpacts m the TIS. Tne Master Plan currently COnsISts of 108 acres of multl-
family and 948 of smgle family.
9 The City intends to analyze densities on the basis of dwellingumts per net
developable acre. "Net developable acres" are the number of acres remaining
after subtracting from gross area all land that IS unbuildable be~ause it is
envrronmentally sensItrve, park SIte, open. space, transportation or utility corndor,
or for any other reason 1S mcapable of suppomng development.
10. The applicant has proposed two areas for commercial uses. The first is an area
near the intersection of the proposed Y -1 Corridor and the mtemal mam loop road
within the Plan area. The applicant currently proposes the designatIon of 51 acres
as General Commercial in this area. The Planning CommisSIon receIved testunony
expressing concern over the scale of commercial development in the Southwest
Yelm area as a potential threat to existing commercial busmesses within the
current City of Yelm. A phasing plan for the buildout of commercial development

in the Master Plan area was suggested in conjunction with tlns testimony. The
Planning CommisslOn heard testimony from the applicant that a severe lirmt on the
scale of comrnerClal structures would preclude any reasonable market for the
commerCIal property. The applicant proposed a limit of 400,000 square feet of
commerCIal space In the Y -1 Corridor area and a cap of 40,000 square feet for one
commercial structure. Tne applicant would be agreeable to a phasing plan for the
buildout of commercIal space 1n the Y -1 Comdor area. The Master Plan sublTIlttal
also proposed the desIgnatlOn of five (5) acres near the clubhouse as CommercIal
Semce. The Staff Report has recommended that commercIal development m the
commercIal distnct near the clubhouse be linnted. The applicant has acqUlesced
to an overalllinnt of 12,000 square feet of commerCIal space Wlth a linnt of 3,000
square feet per commerClal structure In the clubhouse area. The Master Plan map
has shown the desIgnatlon of a 16 acre parcel on the property owned by
Bosequette as General CommerCIal. Staff has recommended the replacement of
tbJ.s designatlon Wlth mulo.-family on the grounds that the additIonal commerCIal
area 1S not necessary to serve the Southwest Yelm area and would unreasonably
__ comnete WIth and draw market share from the eXlstmg: busmess core of the City
~ -'
of Yelm.
11 The City IS m the process of amending Its Open Space and Park Ordinance to
provide for the dedicatIon of open space m the amount of five percent (5 %) or net
built area in smgle family deslgnatI.ons and ten percent (10 %) or net built area In
multI.-fanrily desIgnatI.ons. Applymg the proposed amendment to the Open Space
Ordinance, the folloWlng apprOXImate dedicanons or open space wrill be reqUITed:
TnUTston Highlands AssoC'...ates - 56 Acres
Raimer Estates - 11 Acres
Other Parcels - 16 Acres
Some concerns among Pl:mnmg Comnussion members were Talsed that the pnvate
golf course on the Thurston HighI::mrls Assoc..ates parcel should not be included
in the open space calculatI.ons because the golf course will be a pnvate golf course.
12. Tne Master Plan submittal proposes that the Plan area be served entrrely by public
and pnvate utilities, including sewer, water, electnclty, telephone, and cable TV
13. The applicant has shown the possible location for a future State Highway known
as the Y -1 Corridor. The applicant has shown the route for an internal main loop
road through the Plan area. The applicant has shown the dedication or right-of-
way access onto the F art Lewis nillitary reservation in the locations shown on the
Master Plan map.

14. In conjunction with the Annexation of the Southwest Yelm area, the applicant
SIgned an agreement obligatmg it to pay the costs of the City' s Wastewater Reuse
Program to the extent attributable to the annexed area. The City has obtaIned a
Centenmal Clean Water Act grant that requITes a local matcmng share. Staff has
detenmned that the applicant's share IS forty percent (40 % ). Staff has notIfied the
applicant that fifty percent (50%) of its share 13 due by August 15, 1994. Staff
recommends that, as a condition of Conceptual Master Plan approval, tins payment

all the pertment faciliues, be constructed m phases concurrent WIth development.
As such, staff also recommends that~ pnor to final ~Iaster Plan approval, the City
adopt an ordinance requiring installation of sewer and water lines ill phases as well
as a latecomer agreement prOVIding for the relmbursement of the costs of such
mstallanon, also ill phases.

a) If the front width of the lot is smaller than or equal to the rear width, the assessable
front metres shall be the frontage width which on curves shall be the arc length of the
curves.
b) If the front width of the lot is larger than the rear width, the assessable front metres shall
be the rear width, plus 35 percent of the difference between the front width and rear
width. On curves the arc length of the curves will be used for measuring front metres.
c) If the rear of the lot is abutting a publIc road thoroughfare, the assessable metres shall
be the total sum of the metres of the front and rear of the lot.
d) If commercial and/ or apartment acreage sites have two sides fronting on public
thoroughfares, the assessable frontage shall be the sum of the metres on both
thoroughfares.
e) If commercial and/ or apartment sites front on more than two sides on public
thoroughfares, the assessable front metres shall be the sum of metres fronting on all
thoroughfares excepting expressways/freeways.

RE Dragt Farm Property
Dear Frank
I appreciate your patience In connection with the Dragt Property, but I believe the City IS
now in a better position to answer your questions
We have discussed a predevelopment agreement which deals with the issues necessary
to complete the final master pltln for your chent's property The property is pari of Ule
Southwest Yelm annexation and prevIous work Jnc;ludes the annexation, tIle approval of
a preliminary master plan, and the adoption of the City ComprehenSive Plan which
designates your property for master plan approval
The next step is the filing of an application for final master plan approval The application
should follow the submiSSions identified in Chapter 17 62 of the Yelm Code, see copy
attached
The key to your final master plan IS to Identify the types of uses you will need to accomplish
the overall goals for the property identified in tile preliminary plan and EIS My
understanding IS that the property was to accommodate up to 800 units, but given the
terrain and environmental issues a range of densities from 500-,800 units would be
appropriate
The final plan should identify the phases of the project by large lots whIch will be
segregated as part of the master plan approval and Will be used for future project specific
approvals Key utility and transportation corridors must be identified and dedIcated or
reserved for dedication at this tll11e Internal Circulation should be identified in a typIcal
fashion which demonstrates how the proposed densities are to be accomplished Yelm

would consIder too Iowa density or the inability to reach the target range a significant
impact
The large lots would be Identified as to prOjected densities and uses, including low density
residential (4~6 units per acre), medIum density residential (6-12 units per acre), and hIgh
density resIdential (over 12 units per acre) The City has no specific denSity limit per acre,
and the calculation would be based upon gross denSity within the lot to be developed
As we discussed, it is too soon in a project of thIs size to specify the precise number or
location of units Rather, you should identify the types of housmg contemplated In each
of the designations and you may identify other criteria, such as 'Iselllor housIng," which
may have a different setting, mix, or standards
You may also apply for a preliminary plat and/or binding site plan for any project which you
may wish to commence upon final approval of the master plan For subsequent phases,
the final builder would be bound by the densities, range of unIts, and other specific
standards built into the approval, but would have flexibility within the guidelmes to shift
among differing housing types to meet market needs and conditions Such fleXibility IS
specifically contemplated in the ordinance and would not require a plan amendment
If future events suggest a material change, that would always be possible, but would
require consideration by the Planning Commission and the City Council and a formal
amendment to the plan Any such change would require a consideration of the fit,
consequences, impacts, and public IIlterest In the proposed change A wider area
environmental assessment would also be required
The second step In the consideration is the environmental review The suggested
approach is an addendum to the City's Comprehensive Plan EIS dated January 3, 1995
The key impacts would be specific environmentally sensitive areas and how they are to be
treated and protected III the final plan, and the Issue of concurrency
Concurrency is an issue which must be considered closely in connection With tl18 master
planned areas ~!The Dragt property IS not presently served by sewer Tile Comprellenslve
Plan reqlllres all propertIes not on sewer to be developed at a one unit per five acre density
until sewer IS available The City does have plan approval for a sewer plant extension
which will serve your client's property Funding IS not yet In place, however, and until a plan
for the development of adequate sewer facilities IS In place, Including plant upgrades,
sewer lines, and discharge points, sewer is not available ~ We Il8ve said that once such
financing and other approvals are in place, the City will allow development on sertlc which
r.::Jn be converted to sewer, so long as County stElndard3 for septic and City standards for
maintenance and conversion are met

Concurrency also affects water, transportation, parks, and schools
The environmental review should identify not only the entire plan, but the proposed
phases, and the concurrency-related facilities (1) which are a prerequIsite to the phase
commencing, (2) whlch must be developed in conjunction with each phase, and (3) which
must be developed at a later phase, but for which the phase under development will
provIde some form of advance payment, latecomer contnbution, LID contribution, or other
approprIate faIr share mechanism to spread the costs equitably to the project
The City does not anticipate having funds available for City contribution or overSizing, but
is happy to work with developers to create developer-sponsored LID's, latecomer
agreements, and other equitable fund sllaring or recapturing techniques
The environmental documents may be prepared by your consultant and reviewed by the
City, or you may contract with the City to prepare tile environmental review for your project
In either event the costs of the City's efforts are chargeable to your client
In additIon, the City will need to recover Its actual costs of project review and approval
through the attached development agreement Because your project will involve major
Investment in professIonal services for engineering, environmental, traffic, and legal, as
well as staff tIme, the application fee is the actual cost of processing your proposal
In exchange, the City is prepared to outline and stlqk to a time schedule which will assure
that your proposal is timely and expeditiously reviewed
I look forward to working with you on this project

The large lots would be Identified as to prOjected densIties and usesj including low denSity
resIdential (4~6 units per acre), medium density residential (6-12 units per acre), and high
density residential (over 12 units per acre) The City has no specific denSity limit per acre,
and the calculation would be based upon gross denSity wjthin the lot to be developed
As we discussed, it is too soon in a project of this size to specify the precise number or
location of units Rather, you should identify the types of housing contemplated In each
of the designations and you may identIfy other criteria, such as "senior housltlg," which
may have a different setting, mix, or standards
You may also apply for a preliminary plat and/or binding sIte plan for any project which you
may wish to commence upon final approval of the master plan For subsequent phases,
the final builder would be bound by the densities, range of units, and other specific
standards built into the approval, but would have flexibility within the guidelllles to shift
among differing housing types to meet market needs and conditions Such fleXibility IS
specifically contemplated in the ordinance and would not require a plan amendment
If future events suggest a material change, that would always be possible, but would
require consideration by the Planning Commission and the City Council and a formal
amendment to the plan Any such change would require a consideration of the fit,
consequences, impacts, and public interest In the proposed change A wider area
environmental assessment would also be required
The second st~p In the consIderation is the environmental review The suggested
approach is an addendum to the City's Comprehensive Plan EIS dated January 3. 1995
The key Impacts would be specific environmentally sensitive areas and how tlley are to be
treated and protected In the final plan, and the Issue of concurrency
Concurrency is an issue which must be considered closely in connection With ttle master
planned areas illThe Dragt property IS not presently served by sewer The Comprehensive
Plan requires all propertIes not on sewer to be developed at a one unit per five acre density
until sewer is available The City does have plan approval for a sewer plant extension
which will serve your client's property Funding IS not yet In place, however, and until a plan
for the development of adequate sewer facilities IS In place, Including plant upgrades,
sewer lines, and discharge points, sewer is not available ~ We have said t11at once such
financing and other approvals are in place. the City will allow development on septic which
r.:;m be converted to sewer, so long as County standards for septic and CIty standards for
maintenance and conversion are met.

Concurrency also affects water, transportation, parks, and schools
The efwlronmental review should identify not only the entire plan, but the proposed
phases, and the concurrency-related facilities (1) which are a prerequIsite to the phase
commencing, (2) which must be developed in conjunction with each phase, and (3) which
must be developed at a later phase, but for which the phase under development will
provide some form of advance payment, latecomer contnbution, LID contribution, or other
appropriate fair share mechanism to spread the costs equitably to the project
The City does not anticipate having funds available for City contribution or oversizing, but
is happy to work with developers to create developer-sponsored LID's, latecomer
agreements, and other equitable fund sllaring or recapturing techniques
The environmental documents may be prepared by your consultant and reviewed by the
City, or you may contract With the City to prepare the environmental review for your project.
In either event the costs of the Cttis efforts are chargeable to your client
In addition, the City will need to recover Its actual costs of project review and approval
through the attached development agreement Because your project will involve major
Investment in profeSSional services for engineering, environmental, traffic, and legal, as
well as staff time, the application fee is the actual cost of processing your proposal
In exchange, the City is prepared to outline and stick to a time schedule which will assure
that your proposal is timely and expeditiously reviewed
I look forward to working With you on this project
Very truly yours,
OWENS DAVIES MACKIE

I enjoyed talkmg with you last week about the Thurston Highlands Golf Course
development. I would lIke to provide WildlIfe expertise in the deSign and development of
the area I see great opportumty to Increase the wIldlIfe value of golf courses while
enhanCing the playmg expenence A wIldlIfe-fnendly course IS a more attractive course
for players, IS often less expensive to mamtam, and can reduce local reSIstance to the
development of new courses Courses and associated developments such as CollIer's
Reserve In Flonda have found that an actIve environmental program including WIldlIfe
enhancements attracts golfers. The greater the number of courses that are actIvely pro-
enVironment, the less resistance there will be to golfing and golf developments. My broad
range of wIldlIfe expenence along WIth my speCific knowledge of western Washmgton's
WIldlIfe would be valuable In integrating wildlife concerns mto the overall development
The best starting pOInt for a wlldlIfe-fnendly course IS the deSign stage. I see thiS as first
workmg In conjunctIOn WIth the course archItect; laymg out holes and faIrways to protect
eXIstIng habitat; deslgmng plantIngs for WildlIfe, aesthetICS, and maIntenance needs, and
puttmg special habitat features Into the deSIgn. Later the grounds mamtenance/vegetatIon
management program could be developed/modified to enhance the course for wIldlife All
the elements need to mesh proVIdIng enjoyable, challengIng play, groundskeepmg and
, mamtenance needs, and WIldlIfe enhancements. I encourage early Involvement to bnng
wIldlIfe pnnclples Into thoughts about course design, potentials and constraInts; thiS can
aVOId "remodel later" problems and costs
I am famIliar WIth the Audubon InternatIOnal Signature Program for golf courses, and the
Environmental Prmclples for Golf Courses In the Umted States developed m conjunction
WIth the Center for Resource Management. Any efforts for WIldlife and other
environmental concerns on the course should Incorporate Audubon's publIshed pnnclples.
ThiS would work toward Audubon Signature status.

My mterest m workmg wIth golf course desIgners and developers was sparked by my work
wIth the Seattle Department of Parks and RecreatIOn. WhIle there, I worked on the Jackson
Golf Course ThIS entailed helpmg locate an appropnate area for a stormwater detentIOn
pond and provIdmg expertIse on desIgmng the pond to benefit wIldlIfe. I also provIded
wIldlIfe and wetland mput m the redesIgn of some of the course's current tees and fairways.
My pnmary task at the Seattle Parks Department was the development of an Urban WildlIfe
Management Plan for the Department's 6,000 acres of parks and greenspaces. ThIs work
was both enjoyable and rewardmg As sole author, I prepared the plan on a SIX month,
fast-track schedule so the Department could mamtam elIgIbIlIty for state funds for urban
wIldlIfe habItat acqUIsItIOn. I worked wIth public mterest and park advocacy groups, and
balanced the concerns of these groups wIth ongomg recreation and the concerns of vanous
CIty departments ThIS work IS very applIcable to mtegratmg wIldlIfe conservatIon WIth
golf courses' the task IS to balance human recreatIOn and WIldlIfe needs on the same
acreage
An addItional aspect of a WIldlIfe fnendly course should be staff educatIOn and trammg
about WIldlIfe and habItat. The greens keepers are the actual on-the-ground WIldlIfe
managers I would find provIdmg trammg and WIldlIfe educatIOn for golf course staff
enjoyable As part of my work at the Seattle Parks Department, I conducted small-group
talks about WIldlIfe and habItat wIth grounds mamtenance and gardemng staff These talks
were followed by on the ground seSSIOns dIscussmg SIte specIfic plantmg, vegetatIOn
management, and WIldlIfe enhancements. I found the mamtenance and gardemng staff very
receptIve to modIfymg practIces to promote wIldlIfe, whIch made my work partIcularly
rewardmg. ThIS type of staff trammg and educatIon would be very possIble at Thurston
HIghlands

Re THA Development
Dear Ms. Badger'
During our last meeting at my office, we discussed the need of reaching an
agreement between the City and THA regarding the implementation of THA's
project and City's infrastructure programs At this moment, the City's program
may include but not limited to the following
1 Reclaim water Handling and Disposal
Installation of reclaim water pipe along the north boundary of THA's
property Installation of reclaim water storage tank at northwest
comer of THA's property Discharge reclaim water at several
rapid infiltration sites on THA's property Dispose (via spray
irrigation) reclaim water on THA golf courses and public lawn or
open spaces.
Certain amount of THA's land will be affected and I or taken by the
City for handling and disposing the reclaim water
2. Water Supply
Develop and construct well (s) for municipal water supply with
capacity of about 1,400 gallons per minutes (gpm). This may
involve in installation on-site treatment system, storage and piping
(crossing THA's land), In addition there will be sanitary easement
(required by the Health Department), access easement. certain
amount of THA's land will be taken by the City
3. Loop Road and Y -1 Bypass Highway
The loop is important for both THA and the City because it enhance
and will meet City1s wide updated transportation system to meet the
regulatory requirements
Certain amount of THAis land will be affected or taken.
o
o
4 Parks and Schools
There are parks and schools designated in the THA's property The
City may develop and build parks or schools (in concert with School
District) later
5 Surface Storm Drainage Systems
The city-wide surface drainage system may extend to or into the
THA's property
6 Wet Land Enhancement
As part of City's zero discharge wastewater handling and disposal
system, City will designate certain wetlands for enhancement. This
may involve THA's property
Our golf designer, Robert Trent Jones II, informed us the peak summer demand
for water will be 600,000 gallons per day (gpd) for each golf course If the two
courses are built, the summer demand would be 1,200,000 gpd The winter
water demand would be 200,000 to 400,000 gpd for both courses In addition to
golf course irrigation, there will be general cleaning and lawn irrigation need
Which will take about 100,000 to 200,000 gpd We will also use any surplus
water on site to maintain water circulation for golf course water hazards, wet land
ponds and creeks, and any additional man-made lakes It is essential that we
have all the irrigation water we need to make our program viable We could dill
more wells on site or use reclaim water to satisfy the irrigation need
Based on 100 gpcd (gallon per capita per day) , the domestic municipal water
supply for THA's initial phase would be approximately 150,000 to 200,000 gpd
When the project is fully implemented later, the municipal water supply would be
about 700,000 to 900,000 gpd
We. have identified and informed you and Sandy in November, 1995 certain
issues in dealing with THA development (see attached) During our recent
meeting at my office, Sandy asked that we list or identify the items that should be
included in the agreement In general, we think the issues, items, or assistance,
or acceptance, or approvals must be included in the City- THA agreement include
but not limited to the following
1 Allow THA to mine and recycle sands and gravel associated with
development.
2 Allow THA to build the club house-pro shop compounds and initial
phase houses and with septic tank drainfield systems Which will
be connected to the City's sewer later when available
Page 2
o
o
3 City will assist THA in applying and obtaining water right for
developing on site sufficient well water supply for irrigation
Certain wells will be designated fully for THAIs irrigation use In
addition, THA may draw excess well water (via bypass piping) from
well(s) designated for the City to supplement irrigation or cleaning
need
4 We will coordinate with City's consultants in designing and
construction of well water supply system on THA property
5 We will coordinate with City's reclaim water disposal consultants to
design and install reclaim water disposal systems (spray irrigation,
rapid infiltration, wet land enhancement, storage on THA's
property For reliability, THA will have its own irrigation system with
well water supply solely developed by THA.
6 City should expend its own funds to build and maintain municipal
water supply and reclaim water handling and disposal systems
constructed on THA property City should hold THA harmless and
indemnify THA from any costs, liabilities, injuries, claims, damages
etc associated with these systems
7 City should appraise the values of well water supply, land (well
sites, buffer zone, sanitary easement, piping installation, percolation
sites, and reclaim water storage and rapid infiltration site and buffer
zones, access etc )
THA will be credited the appraised values for the exchange of City
utility services, or offset of charges
8 City will sponsor the ULlD and bonding issuance for the design and
construction of waters, sewers, roads and drainage systems and
other public utilities for THA. THA will agree to indemnify the City
on the bonds issued City also will assist THA to recover the capital
costs from the adjacent property owners and late comers
who are benefited from the UUD and bonds or financing (by
adopting or passing ordinance or resolutions)
9 THA will agree to pay regular hook-up charge and regular user
charge for both water supply and sewer system, when THA's new
homes are connected to the City's systems later
10 THA will agree to pay regular user charges for other utilities when
THA's new homes are connected or physically benefited by such
public utility system(s)
The City- THA Agreement should also address to certain items listed in our
November 1, 1995 summary that may not be adequately discussed here
Page 3
o
o
In summary, it is mutually beneficial between the City and THA to have THA
development implemented as soon as possible However, the implementation
should be on the fair basis between the City and THA. THA must have sound and
reliable financing prior to implementation The investors, bankers/lenders will
make there evaluation and decision to fund the THA program pending on City-
THA agreement. We would like to have the accept able agreement between the
City and THA executed this summer
Our consultants (NBBJ, Robert Trent Jones II, ERA, Real Vision Research,
Dawson and KCM) have been working on the final master plan since this spring
The final master plan with initial phase development will be completed in July
We plan to submit it to the City for review and approval in the first week of
August. Meanwhile, we should meet, discuss and finalize the City- THA
agreement. Please contact us to arrange the meetings with schedules
convenient to both parties We look forward to your reply
Sincerely yours,
Attachment

RE Thurston Highlands
Dear Mr Llao
This letter will summarize our conversation the other day in connection with the further
progress of your Thurston Highlands development in the City of Yelm
You have completed your preliminary master plan and environmental work and have
preliminary master plan approval for your project. The preliminary master plan will be
the starting point for further review
In addition, the City has finished its growth management comprehensive plan, EIS, and
development regulations Conformance with the requirements of the comprehensive
plan, including the sewer plan, the water plan, and the transportation pian, as weil as the
overall City plan will be another of the principal criteria for review
The next step will be the submission of a final master plan for your portion of the project.
As anticipated by the City, your project will provide approximately 3,300 units in a mix
of Single and multifamily units A golf course, small commercial area, school Sites, and
other components have been descnbed in previous documents The contents of the final
master plan application are detailed In Chapter 1762 of the Yelm MUnicipal Code, a
copy Qf which is attached
One of the key elements of the plan and ensuing environmental review will be your
phaSing program for the project. You should identify for each phase, the necessary
Infrastructure to begin the phase, the infrastructure (onslte and offsite) to be built with
o
o
OWENS DAVIES MACKIE
Mr Paul Liao
January 30, 1996
Page 2
each phase, and the contribution to offsite improvements or to subsequent improvements
to be made with each phase The phasing plan can be used to identify the timing and
allocation of anticipated impacts and provide a basis for a more detailed discussion on
vesting
Environmental review should be limited to issues which are new to this level of planning
The fact of the planned community (3,300 units and a mix of uses), the fact of the golf
course, and the overall water, sewer, and preliminary traffic impacts have all been
discussed in previous plans and approved by the City Specific impacts, including a
preliminary grading and erosion plan (the City follows the WDOE model stormwater
plan), the phasing of major roads and utilities, and an offsite mitigation plan will be the
most important issues which need to be covered
It may well be appropriate to proceed with an addendum to the City GMA EIS, as the
project is simply an extension of the planning which has already been approved The
Incremental change at this time is the phasing plan/utility coordination and the assurance
that adequate facilities will be in place to meet the needs of each phase In addition,
phased traffic Impacts and appropriate mitigation will need to be identified
You are aware that the plan area is not within the present sewer service area for the
existing system In the long run your project will be totally dependent upon the success
of the City in securing reuse and recycling approval and funding from various state and
federal agencies The City has agreed to consider a limited number of homes in the first
phase on septic If suitable soils are identified The clubhouse may also be on septic with
adequate engineering justification All septic facilities must be approved by the Thurston
County Environmental Health Department and converted to sewer when sewer is in
place
State law also requires the presence of adequate water supply as a prerequisite to
building permit issuance Approval of your project will require a close analysis of
capability and capacity to assure that the adequacy issue is properly met at each phase
We Will have to review the status of the current water rights application with the City
engineer to identify the City's phasing and capacity in connection with pending water
rights applications
The master plan approval IS considered a zoning approval and thus is good until
changed-it does not expire Preliminary plat approval is presently' valid for three years
The state has recently authorized municipalities to extend plat approvals to five years
and to set their own criteria for extension I will be recommending to the planning
commiSSion this spring that the preliminary plats In master planned commUnities be valid
for a period of five years and, so long as the plat is not "abandoned," should remain
o
o
OWENS DAVIES MACKIE
Mr Paul Liao
January 30, 1996
Page 3
valid for some period beyond the initial five years With all of the planning that goes into
a planned community which may take 20 years or more to build out, it does not make
sense for either the developer or the City to continually subject the plan to needless re-
review
You raised several issues about cost sharing and vesting which I will deal with in order
1. Application fees and cost reimbursement
Yelm has a very small budget which is quickly overwhelmed by a project of this size
Thus we have requested a development agreement, in lieu of a specific application fee,
which provides for you to reimburse the City for its actual costs of processing the project.
The agreement Will identify the scope for the undertakings by the applicant and the City
and the reimbursable costs or rates The development agreement will also identify the
deliverables, the review periods, and the estimated hearing and action dates for each
of the significant approvals necessary
2. Vesting
A plat will normally vest an application for sewer and water for a period of five years
Yelm Municipal Code 16 12 330 A project which would purport to vest upwards of 1,000
units for existing sewer and water capacity would likely overwhelm the City's ability to
serve the project with adequate facilities or substantially limit the City's ability to serve
other areas of the community which also need sewer and water The City also
recognizes the developers need to know that if infrastructure is installed there will be a
capability on the part of the City to provide service The development agreement needs
to deal with long-term vesting, capacity, capability, and fairness issues, looking both at
the project and the City as a whole I am confident the proper balance can be met, but
It will require detailed planning and discussions
3 Participation and municipal funding
a The qolf course
The City has not Identified the golf course on its comprehensive parks plan As
a result, before the City could make any commitment to a municipal golf course,
the matter would have to be taken to the Park Board, the Planning Commission,
and the City Council to see if the City desires to amend the City plans to enable
a municipal golf course To date there has been no strong interest in moving that
direction
o
o
OWENS DAVIES MACKIE
Mr Paul Liao
January 30, 1996
Page 4
If the City were to venture into the municipal golf business, some absolute
guarantee would have to be in place for adequate revenues to properly pay for
construction and operation of the course Any plan must avoid a drain on
existing City finances The City's existing tax base is too small to undertake any
significant risk in this regard
Finally, if the City were to undertake such an operation, it could not commit in
advance to resell the property to you or any other private entity Such a
commitment would effectively be a guarantee of a private venture Even if the
City were to profit from the arrangement, the program would involve a significant
lending of the City's credit, which is unlawful in this state
b Local improvement district.
State law permits private developers to front the engineering and other costs to
create a local improvement district and then to reimburse itself from the proceeds
of bond sales for costs incurred The City of Yelm is prepared to follow such a
model in paying for some of the larger facilities which are designed to serve a
number of properties Care must be taken in selecting benefit areas to omit small
residences which may well be in the benefit area, but which are unlikely to
develop in the short term Suitable latecomer or other arrangements can be
identified to prevent undue impact to existing residents
The City would be happy to discuss this option with you in greater detail
c. Latecomer agreement.
The final financing device will be a latecomer agreement. Any project of your size
will certainly need to construct oversized facilities In the absence of grants to
permit the City to participate in oversizing, the City will work with you to identify
appropriate benefit areas and latecomer charges State law identifies a process
which permits affected property owners to have a say to assure fairness Final
agreements are recorded and become part of the land records While
administration of latecomer agreements can become expensive, I believe they
proVide a reasonable opportunity for an early developer to recoup costs which
indeed benefit a larger community area

April-May Environmental documents and review
June-July Grading permits for site clearing, Planning Commission
review of project
August-September City Council review; action on approval request for
appropriate plans and preliminary plats
I trust this letter deals with most of the issues we discussed I will begin work on the
development agreement and we should have an early scoping meeting to set out a
timetable and set of deliverables to permit the project to proceed Please feel free to call

17.62.010 Short title. This chapter shall be known
as the "Master Plan Development Chapter" and may be cited
as such. (Ord. 561 ~3(part), 1995: Ord. 555 ~14(part),
1995) .
17.62.020 Intent. The purpose of the master plan
process is to protect and improve the public health, safety
and welfare by pursuing the following objectives:
A. To ensure that future growth and development which
occurs as the result of a master plan is in accord with the
comprehensive plan and the planning policies of the city;
B. To provide for large-scale projects that incorpo-
rate a full range of land uses, where appropriate and where
consistent with the comprehensive plan;
C. To encourage innovations and creativity for the
safe, efficient and economic use of land;
D To ensure and facilitate the provision of adequate
public services such as transportation, water, sewage,
storm drainage, electricity and open space;
E To encourage efficient patterns of land use which,
where appropriate, decrease trip length of automobile trav-
el and encourage trip consolidation, increased publicac-
cess to mass transit, bicycle routes and other alternative
modes of transportation, J
F. To improve the design, quality and character of
new development so as to reduce energy consumption and

demand, and to minimize adverse environmental impacts in-
cluding degradation of wildlife habitat and important natu-
ral features in the area;
G. To foster and ensure a rational pat~ern of rela-
tionships between residential, business and industrial uses
so as to complement and minimize impacts on existing neigh-
borhoods;
H. To ensure coordination of commercial and industri-
al building designs which will be harmonious and blending
with each other and the natural environment. (Ord. 561
53 (part) , 1995. Ord. 555 ~14(part), 1995).
17.62.030 Applicability. Minimum Site Area. A mini-
mum of two hundred acres in a single ownership must be
available for a master pl.an; smaller acreage under separate
ownership may be included in the proposal. (Ord. 561
~3(part), 1995 Ord. 555 ~14(part), 1995).
17.62.040 General steps for review and approval. The
review and approval of a master plan shall consist of three
steps:
A. Conceptual review and approval of the master plan
through comprehensive plan and official zoning map amend-
ment, with the official zoning map amendment not effective
until approval of the master plan for the site;
B. Adoption of the master plan for the s'ite;
C. Approval of specific development actions as may be
appropriate, and as may be phased in the master plan.
(Ord. 561 ~3(part), 1995: Ord. 555 514(part), 1995).
17.62.050 Conceptual review and approval. A. Pur-
pose. The purpose of conceptual review and approval is to
establish general land use policies to guide detailed plan-
ning for and development of the master plan area. The
conceptual plan shall identify the generalized land uses,
transportation circulation routes and services proposed for
the site. Prior to site development, a master plan shall
be approved consistent with the policies and conditions of
conceptual approval.
B. Review. Review of a conceptual master plan shall
be performed initially by the planning commission. The
planning commission shall review the application for com-
pleteness and, if it determines that the proposed master
plan is consistent with the comprehensive plan and the
city'S other plans and policies, recommend approval by the
planning commisslon. If the planning commission determines
that the proposed master plan is not so consistent, it may
either remand for modifications specifically identified or
recommend denial by the city council. Conceptual approval
by the city council, upon a recommendation by the planning

17.62.080 Approval of specific development proposals.
Subdivisio~s, planned industrial developments, -planned
residential developments and other specific development
'actions, 'when <::onsistent with the provisions of the master
plan and conc~ptual approval, may be approved according to
applicable code requirements. These actions may be taken
concurrent with or subsequent to approval of the master
plan and may accompany development of the site in phases.
Review of such actions shall be subject to the laws and
regulations which would be applicable to such an action
regardless of its inclusion within a master plan. (Ord.
561 93 (part) , 1995: Ord. 555 914 (part) , 1995).
17.62.090 Implementation of master plan--periodic re-
view. A. Review Schedule. The planning commission shall
review the status of development pursuant to the master
plan in accordance with a review schedule adopted as a
condition of the master plan. Review shall occur not less
than once every five years until development of the master
plan is substantially complete.
B. Result of Review. If the planning commission
finds that substantial completion of development projected
for a given review phase has been accomplished, and that
development has met and is projected to meet the terms and
intent of the master plan and other applicable plans .and
policies, the planning commission may authorize the subse-
quent phase. If the planning commission finds that these
criteria have not been met, the planning commission may
ext~nd the period for completion of that phase or terminate
master plan approval for subsequent phases. In determining
whether to extend or terminate, the planning commission
shall consider the reasons completion has not occurred and
whether the public interest would be best served by exten-
sion or termination. (Ord. 561 93 (part) , 1995: Ord. 555
914 (part) , 1995).
17.62.100 Administration and enforcement. A. Build-
ing permits and other permits required for the construction
or development of property under the provisions ,of this
chapter shall be issued only when the work to be performed
meets the requirements of the master plan.
B. Minor Administrative Alterations Once a prelimi-
nary plat or other development permit within the master
plan area has been reviewed and approved, it shall not be
altered unless approved by both the planner and the public
works department upon a determination that the alteration
is not substantial enough to constitute an amendment to the
master plan. /
C. Parties Bound Once the master plan is approved,
all persons and parties, their successors, heirs or as-
slgns, who own, have or will have by virtue of purchase,
165-90

inheritance, assignment or otherwise, any interest in the
real property within the proposed master plan, shall be
bound by the terms and conditions of approval of the master
plan and the provisions of this chapter.
D. Platting Requirements. The division of property
for sale, lease or transfer shall comply with the require-
ments of the subdivision ordinance, Title 16 of this code.
E. Amendments to Master Plan. The planning commis-
sion may make amendments to the master plan or the zoning
as long as the changes are consistent with other applicable
city plans and policies. Such changes shall be considered
pursuant to the procedures for master plan approval as
contained in this title, except that the planning commis-
sion's decision shall be final unless appealed to the city
council. (Ord. 561 ~3(part}, 1995: Ord. 555 ~14(part),

Dear Shelly"
Your letter dated September 26, 1995 was receIved. The tasks identified are Important to
us in our current planning efforts. We have receIved bids on sIte surveymg and new
well drillings while other site design issues are bemg looked at.
I am writing to the CIty to discuss three subjects
1 Thurston Highland understands that it is responsible for the cost to drill a 1,000
gpm well wluch IS covered by the DOE applicatIOn tor three wells We are
concerned about the outcome of the well at the desIgnated locahon glVen the tact
that two out ot three sites selected earlier turned out to be dry Should the CIty
and THA seek addIhonal expert advIce on the well site pnor to spendmg the
money this time around? Assurrung this new well wIll produce the desIred
volume, please confirm that the water produced will immediately be piped to
the eXIstmg water system or wIll it be capped for future needs.
2. Thurston Highland would like to know ot any consIderahons glVen on separate
rate for usmg Its own water for the golf course irrigation pnor to any housmg
development. Is It possible for Thurston Highland to drill its own well and work
out the detmls m an ordinance?
3 In the process of acquiring a stnp of land from Doyles and Bosequetts for the
sole use an an access road which will become part of the SW Yelm Loop Road,
the County would charge a back tax for removmg the parcel from the
Agricultural Land exemphon, however, the notice allows tax and penalty not be
Imposed If the land IS by officIal action disallowing the present use, Le., from
agnculture to public thoroughtare as lughlIghted under 3( e) We would
appreciate the City to issuing a simple statement to confirm this actIOn so that
we can fInalize the transachon.

FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOM:MENDATION
SOUTHWEST YELM CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN
PLANNING COMl\flSSION
CITY OF YELM
CASE NUMBER: MP-l
PROJECT: SOUTHWEST YELM CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN
APPLICANT: THURSTON IDGHLANDS ASSOCIATES
SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION.
The Planmng Commission of the CIty of Yelm recommends approval by the
City Council of the City of Yelm of the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan and
Conceptual Zoning Plan, subject to modifications and conditIons.
PUBLIC HEARING:
After reVIewing the applicatIon, SIte plan and environmental checklist
submitted by the applicant, the Planmng ComIllission held a public heanng on July 18,
1994. This public heanng was extended to the next regularly scheduled Planning
Commission meeting on August 1, 1994. The Planning Commission held a publIc work
session on August 4, 1994 at a speCIal meeting of the Planning CommiSSIOn.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
In February of 1993, the City of Yelm published an EnVIronmental Impact
Statement for the annexation and development of the Southwest Yelm area. That EIS
considered the impacts assocIated with annexation as well as various conceptual
developments scenarios. With thIS extenSIve envIronmental reVIew in place, the CIty
determined that an addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Statement would satisfy
the need to review addItIonal mformatIon and analysis for this conceptual master plan
review. On July 11, 1994, the City of Yelm issued an Addendum to the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the Southwest Yelm AnnexatIon. Based upon the
evidence submitted, the testimony gIven, and the analysis of staff, the Planning
ComIllission makes the followmg:
FINDINGS:
1. Thurston Highlands Associates is the lead applicant requesting approval of the
Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan. The Master Plan area encompasses
1,860 acres and is located northwest of State Highway 507, southwest of the
downtown core of the City of Yelm, and southeast of the boundary of the Fort
Lewis reservation. The Master Plan area consists of 37 ownership/parcels planned
together as a single planning unit.
2. The Master Plan subnuttal mcludes text, maps and an envIronmental checklist.
The Master Plan map shows proposed land use desIgnations, major transportation
cIrculation routes, major physical characteristics on the property, proposed phases,
and property ownership boundanes. The apphcatIon follows the CIty of Y elm's
Master Plan Ordinance requirements.
3. The Master Plan area was annexed to the City of Yelm on November 23, 1993.
Prior to annexation, the area was zoned under the County's Rural Resource
ResIdentiall/5 zomng designation. The Master Plan area is currently zoned as
RA-5A under Section 17.40.020(c) of the Yelm MUniCIpal Code, whIch also
allows one unit per 5 acres.
4. Conceptual Master Plan approval is the first step m the Master Plan process. The
purpose of conceptual reVIew and approval IS "to establish general land use
policies to gUIde detailed planning for and development of the Master Plan area.
The Conceptual Master Plan shall Identify the generalized land uses, transportation
and circulation routes, and services proposed for the site." Section 5(A), Yelm
Master Plan RevIew Ordinance. ReVIew of the Conceptual Master Plan IS
performed first by the Planning Commission and then by the City Council.
Review is as follows:
The Planning Commission shall review the application for
completeness and, if it determines that the proposed Master
Plan is consistent with the ComprehensIve Plan and the CIty'S
other plans and policies, recommend approval by the City
Council. If the Planning Commission determines that the
proposed Master Plan is not so consIstent, It may eIther
demand for modifications specifically identified or recommend
denial by the City Council. Conceptual approval by the City
Council, upon a recommendation by the Planning
Comnussion, shall conSIst of an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan and an amendment to the offiCial zomng
map.
Section 5(B).
5. The effect of Conceptual Master Plan approval IS as follows:
Upon conceptual approval by the City Council, the proposed
Master Plan boundaries, proposed use districts, transportation
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
PLANNING COMMISSION - CITY OF YELM - Page 2
routes and case file number shall be identIfied upon the
official zoning map. These districts and routes shall only be
effectIve upon approval of a Master Plan meeting the
requirements of Conceptual Approval and thIS Ordmance.
Section 5(D).
6. The Planning Commission held public hearings to consIder the Conceptual Master
Plan on July 18, 1994 and August 1, 1994. Wntten comments were receIved
through August 15, 1994.
7. The onginal Conceptual Master Plan submittal shows a planmng area m excess of
200 acres in a single ownership. The Plan also proposes a mixture of uses
including SIngle family reSIdential, multi-family reSIdential, general commercial,
neighborhood commercial, and public facilItIes Including schools, parks and water
system facilities. The applicant proposes to serve the entire Master Plan area WIth
public servIces including transportation, water, sewage, storm drainage, other
utilities and open space. The submittal Includes two proposed eIghteen hole golf
courses and an existing public golf course, all intended to be maintaIned as
qualified open space. The submittal also includes two school sItes, totalling 23
acres, and a five (5) acre park sIte. The submittal includes an area proposed for
community service and commercial, for the purpose of sIting fire, police, or other
governmental services, if needed. The subIll1ttal does not include any proposed
industrial uses.
8. The Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan submittal proposes the
accommodatIon of 5,000 dwelling units, the number also used for considering
impacts In the EIS. The Master Plan currently consists of 108 acres of multI-
family and 948 of single family.
9. The City intends to analyze denSIties on the baSIS of dwelling units per net
developable acre. "Net developable acres" are the number of acres remaimng
after subtracting from gross area all land that IS unbuildable because it is
environmentally sensitive, park site, open space, transportatIon or utility comdor,
or for any other reason is Incapable of supporting development.
10. The applicant has proposed two areas for commercial uses. The first is an area
near the intersection of the proposed Y -1 Corridor and the internal main loop road
WIthin the Plan area. The applicant currently proposes the designation of 51 acres
as General Commercial in this area. The Planning CommISSIon received testImony
expressing concern over the scale of commercial development in the Southwest
Yelm area as a potential threat to existing commerCIal businesses within the
current City of Yelm. A phasing plan for the build out of commercial development
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
PLANNING COMMISSION - CITY OF YELM - Page 3
in the Master Plan area was suggested in conjunction with this testimony. The
Planning Commission heard testlmony from the applicant that a severe limit on the
scale of commercial structures would preclude any reasonable market for the
commercial property. The apphcant proposed a limit of 400,000 square feet of
commercial space in the Y-l Corridor area and a cap of 40,000 square feet for one
commercial structure. The apphcant would be agreeable to a phasing plan for the
buildout of commercial space In the Y -1 Corridor area. The Master Plan submIttal
also proposed the designation of five (5) acres near the clubhouse as Commercial
Service. The Staff Report has recommended that commercial development in the
commercial distnct near the clubhouse be limIted The applicant has acquiesced
to an overall limIt of 12,000 square feet of commercIal space with a liffilt of 3,000
square feet per commercial structure in the clubhouse area. The Master Plan map
has shown the designation of a 16 acre parcel on the property owned by
Bosequette as General Commercial. Staff has recommended the replacement of
this designation with multi-family on the grounds that the additional commerCIal
area is not necessary to serve the Southwest Yelm area and would unreasonably
compete WIth and draw market share from the eXIsting busmess core of the City
of Yelm.
11. The City is in the process of amending its Open Space and Park Ordinance to
provide for the dedication of open space in the amount of five percent (5 %) of net
built area in single family designations and ten percent (10 %) of net built area in
multi-family deSIgnations. Applymg the proposed amendment to the Open Space
Ordinance, the following approximate dedications of open space will be reqUIred:
Thurston Highlands ASSOCIates - 56 Acres
Rainier Estates - 11 Acres
Other Parcels - 16 Acres
Some concerns among Planning Commission members were raised that the private
golf course on the Thurston Highlands Associates parcel should not be included
in the open space calculations because the golf course will be a private golf course.
12. The Master Plan submittal proposes that the Plan area be served entirely by public
and private utilities, including sewer, water, electricity, telephone, and cable TV.
13. The applicant has shown the possible location for a future State Highway known
as the Y -1 Corridor. The applicant has shown the route for an internal main loop
road through the Plan area. The applicant has shown the dedication of nght-of-
way access onto the Fort Lewis military reservahon in the locations shown on the
Master Plan map.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
PLANNING COMMISSION - CITY OF YELM - Page 4
14. In conjunction with the Annexation of the Southwest Yelm area, the applicant
signed an agreement obligatIng it to pay the costs of the City's Wastewater Reuse
Program to the extent attributable to the annexed area. The CIty has obtained a
Centennial Clean Water Act grant that requITes a local matchIng share. Staff has
determined that the applicant's share is forty percent (40%). Staff has notIfied the
applicant that fifty percent (50%) of its share is due by August 15, 1994 Staff
recommends that, as a condition of Conceptual Master Plan approval, this payment
first be made. The Wastewater Reuse Program will reqUITe areas of open land for
irrigatIon. The proposed golf course in the Thurston Highlands Associates
ownership IS well-suited for such applicatIon. Staff recommends that the
installation of water and sewer lines necessary to serve the Plan area, as well as
all the pertinent facilitIes, be constructed in phases concurrent with development.
As such, staff also recommends that, pnor to final Master Plan approval, the CIty
adopt an ordinance requiring installatIon of sewer and water lines In phases as well
as a latecomer agreement providing for the reImbursement of the costs of such
installation, also In phases.
15 The Planning Commission received testimony from the Yelm Commumty Schools
that the proposed populations In the Plan area would reqUITe the construction of
approximately seven new schools. The applicant has proposed two new school
SIteS.
CONCLUSIONS:
1. The Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan is consIstent WIth the Master Plan
Review Ordinance, Ordinance No. 495 of the City of Yelm, except to the extent
necessary to modify the Plan as provided herein.
2. The environmental review and documentation prepared by the City of Yelm for
the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan adequately describes the project, the
impacts and potential mitigation. The Addendum to the Final Environmental
Impact Statement for the Southwest Yelm Annexation, issued on July 11, 1994,
satisfies the State Environmental Policy Act and rules promulgated pursuant
thereto. Particular project specific impacts and mitigation will be identified at the
time of development review and approval.
3. The Staff Report accurately describes the project, background information,
applicable regulatory requirements, and analysis of staff concerns with the
revisions noted herein. The Staff Report is attached as Exhibit A, and
incorporated herein by reference.
4. The Planning Commission recommends approval of the Southwest Yelm
Conceptual Master Plan by the City Council of the City of Yelm subject to the
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
PLANNING COMMISSION - CITY OF YELM - Page 5
following conditions. These conditions are Imposed to mitigate impacts identified
by staff during Master Plan Review and EnvIronmental RevIew. The
recommended conditions are as follows:
A. Zoning.
(1) Zoning in the Southwest Yelm Master Plan area shall be as
designated In the attached Exhibit B, Southwest Yelm Conceptual Zoning
Plan.
(2) The Conceptual Zomng Plan reflects the follOWIng changes from the
last verSIOn of the applicant's Master Plan map:
a. Conversion of approXImately 13 acres north of Berry Valley
Road from single family to multi-family.
b. ConverSIOn of 16 acres owned by Bosequette from
commerCIal to multi-family
No other recommended changes to the last version of the applicant's Master Plan
map were determIned to be of merit based on planning cnteria.
B. Phasmg
(1) The Southwest Yelm Master Plan area will be developed in phases
as generally outlined in the attached ExhibIts C, D and E.
C. Densities/Dwelling Units
(1) The total number of dwelling units allowed in the Southwest Yelm
Master Plan area shall not exceed 5,000 dwelling umts. This overall
maximum is further allocated to each ownership within the Master
Plan area according to the attached Exhibits C, D and E.
(2) The minimum number of dwelling units in the Master Plan area shall
be computed on the basIs of 3.5 dwelling units per net developable
acre. Net developable acres is the land measurement remaining after
subtracting open space, environmentally sensitive areas, parks,
transportation and utility corridors, and any other unbuildable area.
The minimum denSIty shall be applied and enforced according to the
minimum dwelling units allowed by the attached Exhibits C, D and
E.
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
PLANNING COMMISSION - CITY OF YELM - Page 6
(3) Accordingly, therefore, development in the Southwest Yelm Master
Plan shall be between 3,946 dwelling units and 5,000 dwelling umts.
D. TransportatIOn and UtilitIes
(1) This conceptual Master Plan approval requires the establishment of
two EssentIal Utility and Transportation Corridors. The Y-1
Corridor will serve the park site and school SIte on the northern
boundary and the commercial property throughout the remainder of
the Comdor. The second essential corridor IS the main loop road
that connects to State Highway 507, loops through the Thurston
Highlands ASSOCIates parcel, mtersects the Y -1 Corridor, follows
Berry Valley Road and connects to State Highway 510 at Killion
Road.
(2) The Planning CommissIOn recommends the following mechanism for
dedIcatmg the Essential Utility and TransportatIOn Comdors. All
property owners whose property will be burdened by the Corridors
will execute a reciprocal easement for the Comdors that will gIve
each property owner the nght to use the Corridor on every other
property. The easement will be executed prior to City Council
approval of the Conceptual Master Plan. The easement will give
each property owner the nght to dedIcate the entrre stretch of the
Corridor to the City in conjunction WIth Final Master Plan approval.
DedicatIon will be requIred as a condition of final Master Plan
approval. In addition to the easement, the Planning Commission
requires a Concomitant Agreement, wherein Conceptual Master Plan
approval by the City Council will be conditIoned on execution of the
reciprocal easement. For purposes of the reciprocal easement, the
Comdors will be described generally as shown on the Conceptual
Zoning Plan. For purposes of final Master Plan approval, the
Corridors will be fixed by the mechanism described m the reciprocal
easement.
(3) The main loop road runmng from the southwest to the northeast in
the Master Plan area shall be constructed according to an ordinance,
adopted prior to final Master Plan approval, requiring that the road
be developed m phases assocIated WIth development. In those areas
where the road is not yet constructed in full to serve development,
the road will be constructed to sub-grade elevation with a
maintenance coarse surface for the entire remaIning length of the
right-of-way. The City shall also negotiate and adopt a latecomer
agreement for the construction of this road in a manner that provides
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
PLANNING COMMISSION - CITY OF YELM - Page 7
reimbursement according to the phases of construction. The
applicant shall, as a conditIOn of this approval, agree to waive any
and all protests to any such ordinance and latecomer agreement.
(4) The dedication of the Y-l Corridor will be a SIxty (60) foot right-of-
way to the City. In order to allow the potential future Improvement
to a State Highway, the CIty will Impose a fifty-five (55) foot
setback from each sIde of the dedicated right-of-way. This will
ensure that structures are not constructed in the area that could
potentially serve as the State Highway.
(5) Prior to final Master Plan approval, the applicant shall provide the
dedication of the access points shown on the attached Exhibit B,
Conceptual Zomng Plan.
(6) All development within the Master Plan area will be served by the
City of Y elm's sewer and water systems. All costs of such servIce
extension and construchon shall be borne by the applicant. All such
utility service mstallahons shall be deSIgned and constructed in
accordance WIth the requirements of the City of Yelm, the
Department of Ecology, the Department of Health, the applicable
Fire District and any other agency with junsdictIOn over such
utilities.
(7) The applicant shall pay fifty percent (50 %) of its share of the local
matclung funds for the Centennial Clean Water Act grant pnor to
City Council approval of the Conceptual Master Plan. Thurston
Highlands ASSOCIates shall agree to enter mto agreements with the
City to provide land acres for wastewater reuse applications, under
the terms of the Wastewater Reuse Program.
(8) Prior to final Master Plan approval, the City shall adopt an
ordinance requIring the installation of water and sewer lines
necessary to serve the Southwest Yelm Master Plan area at the time
of the first initIal development within the area. The City will also
negotiate and adopt a latecomer agreement for the reimbursement of
the costs of installing such utility lines. The applicant shall, as a
condition of thIS approval, agree to Walve any and all protests to any
such ordinance and latecomer agreement regarding the extension of
sewer and water.
(9) The City will allow development of the Clubhouse and Restaurant in
the Thurston Highlands Associates ownership on an approved septIc
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
PLANNING COMMISSION - CITY OF YELM - Page 8
system that is compatible with future hook-up to the sewer system,
to the extent allowable by the Thurston County Health Code.
E. Commercial Development
(1) Commercial development along the Y-1 Comdor of the Southwest
Yelm Conceptual Master Plan area shall be limIted to a total of
165,000 square feet of floor space WIth no more than 40,000 square
feet of commercIal floor space attributable to anyone commercIal
structure. The total of 165,000 square feet along the Y-1 Corridor
shall be phased WIth development according to the following phasing
plan:
a. Fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet of commercial floor
space will be allowed until the construction of 1,250 dwelling
units in the entrre Master Plan area IS complete.
b. An additional fifty thousand (50,000) square feet of
commercIal floor space will be allowed after the construction
of 1,250 dwelling units in the entire Master Plan area, but
before the construction of the Y -1 State Highway.
c. An additional one hundred thousand (100,000) square feet of
commercial floor space will be allowed after the construction
of the Y -1 State Highway.
(2) Access to such commercial development from the main loop road
shall be limited to no less than 300 feet from the intersection of such
road with the Y-1 State Highway. No access to such commercIal
development will be allowed from the Y -1 State Highway.
(3) Commercial development witlun the five (5) acre commercial
designation near the clubhouse In the Thurston Highlands Associates
ownership shall be limited to a total of 12,000 square feet of
commercial floor space with no more than 3,000 square feet of
commercial floor space attributable to anyone single commercial
structure. CommercIal development in this area will be modeled on
a neighborhood village concept.
F. Open Space and Parks
(1) Development within the Master Plan area shall comply with the City
of Yelm Open Space Ordinance, as amended. Currently proposed
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
PLANNING COMMISSION - CITY OF YELM - Page 9
amendments to the Open Space Ordinance reqUIre the dedication of
five percent (5 %) of net built area In single family designations and
ten percent (10%) of net built area in multi-family designations.
(2) Thurston Highlands AssocIates shall dedicate the currently shown 10
acres of park in two 5 acre parcels concurrent with development
according to the CIty'S level of service standards. See ExhibIt C.
(3) In order to qualify the private golf course In the Thurston Highlands
ASSOCIates ownership as open space, the applicant must establish that
maintaIning It as a private open space satIsfies all of the cnteria of
the Open Space Ordinance, other than dedIcatIOn, and that it serves
the purposes of the ordinance. A pnvate open space must be
accessible to eIther the general publIc or the residents of the
partIcular development. The Planning CommIssion recommends that
Thurston Highlands Associates select among the follOWIng required
alternatives:
a. open the golf course membership to the general public or
residents of Thurston Highlands ASSOCIates;
b. create a system of trails throughout the golf course and
dedicate such trail to the City for publIc use; or
c. dedicate an additional fifteen acres of park to the City under
the terms of the Open Space Ordinance, as amended.
(4) Although actual dedicatIon will occur at the time of development, the
Conceptual Zoning Plan and Conceptual Master Plan Map shall show
the reservatIon of an additional eleven (11) acre park on the Rainier
Estates property. Parks dedicated in the remaimng parcels shall be
in the amounts calculated pursuant to the Open Space Ordinance, as
amended.
(5) The applIcant shall obtain from Thurston County all necessary
permits for crossmg the trail recently acquired by Thurston County
from Burlington Northern.
G. Schools
(1) The Conceptual Master Plan map and Conceptual Zoning Plan
should show the reservation of a total of three school sites for future
dedIcation or purchase. The applicant has shown one fifteen (15)
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
PLANNING COMMISSION - CITY OF YELM - Page 10
acre school site and one eight (8) acre school site, both on Thurston
Highlands AssocIates property. The maps should show a tlnrd
school site of at least eight (8) acres on Rainier Estates property.
(2) The sIting of all school sites wIthin the Master Plan area shall fully
comply with the standards Imposed by the Supenntendent of Public
Instruction for the sItmg of school SItes.
(3) In the event that any of the school sites reserved pursuant to thIS
Conceptual Master Plan are determmed by the School Distnct or the
City of Yelm to be unacceptable for the development of a school
site, the School DIStnCt may elect to waive the reservation and
accept a voluntary agreement in heu of such school site under the
terms of RCW 82.02.020.
(4) The school sites reserved pursuant to this Conceptual Master Plan
are not intended to serve as full compliance wIth any requirement
that the City or the developer make adequate provisions for schools
(i.e., impact fees, voluntary agreements, dedicatIons, etc.). The
reservations are intended to be mimmum proviSIons that form the
starting place for ensunng that the impacts of any development in the
Master Plan area are adequately mItigated.
H. Environmental Review
(1) The mitigating measures identified in the Final Environment Impact
Statement shall be satIsfied in the development of the Southwest
Yelm Conceptual Master Plan. Those mitigating measures are
adopted herein by this reference and made a part hereof.
1. Procedural Issues
(1) This Conceptual Master Plan approval does not include or imply
approval of specific development proposals such as subdivisions,
plats, SIte plans, or planned residential developments. Such speCIfic
development proposals shall be subject to the laws and regulations
otherwise applicable, with the additIonal requirement that they also
shall satisfy all conditions of this Conceptual Master Plan that apply.

MEMORANDUM
TO
Mayor and City Council Members, City of Yelm
FROM
Staff, City of Yelm
RE.
Conceptual Master Plan, Southwest Yelm
DATE.
October 12, 1994
Based on the record before the Planning Commission, the findings and concluslonr of
the Planning Commission, the testimony and record before the City Council, and the
environmental review, the staff recommends adootion of the Conceptual Master Plan for
Southwest Yelm as provided in the Planning Commission'-s Rndings and Conclusions,
with the following modifications
1 The following paragraph shall be inserted as paragraph 4 C 4, page 7 of the
Conclusions
If, after the complete build-out in any particular area within the Master Plan
area, the City determines that the net density in that particular area is
below the maximum net density allowed for that area, any remaining
unused density may be transferred in the form of dwelling units to another
property owner within the Master Plan area, subject to approval by the City
Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to allow development in excess
of the overall maximum of 5,000 dwelling units in the Master Plan area.
2. Paragraph 4.0 1 of the Conclusions, page 7, shall be modified to read as follows
This conceptual Master Plan approval requires the establishment of two
Essential Utility and Transportation Corridors. The Y-1 Corridor will serve
the park site and school site on the northern boundary and the commercia!
property throughout the remainder of the Corridor. The second essential
.
"L
.~
corridor is the main loop road that connects to State Highway 507, loops
through the Thurston Highlands Associates parcel, intersects the Y-1
Corridor, follows Berry Valley Road and connects to State Highway 510 at
Killion Road The main loop road corridor will be constructed as a
"Boulevard" under the Minimum Street Design Standards proposed for
adoption in the City's proposed Development Standards
3 Paragraph 4 D.3 of the Conclusions, page 7, shall be modified to read as follows
The City is considering the options available for financing the construction
of the Essential Utility and Transportation Corridors The projects will each
be constructed as complete water, sewer and street projects Those
options include a latecomer agreement, a Local Improvement Distnct or a
combination of both. In order to ~eep all options availabie, approval or the
conceptual Master Plan is conditioned upon two requirements. First, the
City and the two major property owners in the Master Plan Area, Thurston
- Highlands Associates and the owner of Rainier Estates property, as well as
the Rainier Estates developer, must enter into an agreement to waive any
and all protests to any future latecomer ordinance/agreement and Local
Improvement District. Second, Thurston Highlands Associates must initiate
and circulate an LI D petition for financing the construction of the main
loop road corridor within 30 days of Conceptual Master Plan approval by
the City Council. If for any reason the Ll 0 fails or is determined by the
city to be impractical, the Corridors shall be constructed on the basis of a
latecomer agreement/ordinance. If the Corridors are constructed pursuant
to a latecomer agreement, the City Intends that the main loop road corridor
will be constructed and financed in phases concurrent with development.
Any such phasing will, however, provide that any portion of the main loop
road that is not fully constructed to City development standards will, until
such time as it is so constructed, be constructed to sub-grade elevation
with a maintenance coarse surface for the entire remaining length of the
right-of-way
4 Paragraph 4 0 4 of the conclusions, page 8, shall be modified to read as follows
The dedication of the Y-1 Corridor will be a sixty (60) foot right-of-way to
the City. In order to allow the potential future improvement to a State
Highway, the City will impose a fifty-five (55) foot setback from each Side
of the dedicated right-of-way This will ensure that structures are not
constructed in the area that could potentially serve as the State Highway.
In the event that the City determines that there is no reasonable likelihood
that the Y-1 Corridor will be constructed as a State Highway, the setback
will be reduced to the standard setbacks required by the City's zoning
ordinance for the particular zoning designation.
5 Paragraph 4.0.7 of the Conclusions, page 8, shan be modified to read as follows
2
..
< .
,'.r
Thurston Highlands Associates and Rainier Estates (or the owner of the
Rainier Estates property) shall enter into an agreement amending the
Southwest Yelm Annexation Agreement to provide for a Budget Distribution
and Payment Schedule for the financial contributions to the Wastewater
Reuse Program required by such Agreement. Such agreement shall also
establish that such financial contributions shall be paid from a letter ot
credit from each party, and establish a Wastewater Reuse Budget
Committee, with the sole task of advising the City and the Department ot
Ecology as to the distribution of funds for the Wastewater Reuse Study
Such agreement shall be signed and executed by October 17, 1994 and
such letters of credit, or a cashier's check for the full amount of each
party's obligation under such agreement, shall be delivered to the City by
the close of business on October 19, 1994
6 _ Paragraph 4 0 8 of the Conclusions, page 8, shall be deleted and replaced with
the language
Thurston Highlands Associates shall, as a condition of approval, enter into
an agreement with the City to grant easements, a lease or a license to the
City, or a combination thereof, to make use of its property for land
application and storage of wastewater, in a manner recommended by the
Wastewater Reuse Study
7 Paragraph 4 E.1 of the Conclusions, page 9, shall be modified to read as follows
Commercial development in the 30-acre commercial tract along the Y-1
Corridor of the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan area shall be
limited to a total of 330,000 square feet of commercial floor space to be
phased with development as follows
a Fifteen thousand (15,000) square feet of commercial floor space will
be allowed initially upon final Master Plan approval
b The remaining 315,000 square feet of commercial floor space will be
allowed after the construction of 1,250 dwelling units (25% of the
total dwelling units allowed) in the entire Master Plan area, OR, 5
years from the date of final Master Plan approval, whichever is
earli er
8 Paragraph 4 E.3 of the Conclusions, page 9, shall be modified to read as follows
Commerclal development within the five (5) acre commercial designation
near the clubhouse in the Thurston Highlands Associates ownership shall

El.'N1RONMEl'ITAL REVIEW.
In February of 1993, the City of Yelm published an Environmental Impact
Statement for the annexation and development of the Southwest Yelm area. That EIS
considered the lmpacts asSOCIated with annexation as well as vanous conceptual
developments sc~narios. With this extensive environmental review in place, the City
deternuned that an addendum to the Final Environmental Impact Statement would satISfy
the need to review additional information and analysIS for this conceptual master plan
reVlew. On July 11, 1994, the City of Yelm issued an Addendum to the Final
Environmental Impact Statement for the Southwest Yelm AnnexatI.on. Based upon the
evidence submItted., the testimony gIven., and the analYSIS of staff., the Planning
Commission makes the following:
FlNDINGS~
1. Thurston Highlands Associates is the lead applicant requesting approval of the
Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan. The Master Plan area encompas~es
1,860 acres and is located northwest of State Highway 507, southwest of the
. ,......,. .. "t.'_ - _...... _~ ....1_ 1- _...__-2___ _.I: ",L_ ,...____
------------
.. ~ ..
Lewis reservation. The Master Plan area consists of 37 ownership/parcels planned
together as a single planning unit.
2. The Master Plan submittal includes text, maps and an environmental cheddist.
The Master Plan map shows proposed land use designanons, major transportatIon
ClIculationroutes, majorphysica1 characteristics on the property, proposed phases,
and property ownership boundanes. The applicatlon follows the City of Yelm's
Master Plan Ordinance requrrements.
3. The Master Plan area was annexed to the City of Yelrn on November 23, 1993
Pnor to annexatIon, the area was zoned under the County's Rural Resource
ReSldentIa11/5 zomng designatIon. The Master Plan area is currently zoned as
RA-5A under Section 17.40020(c) of the Yelm Mumcipal Code, w1u.ch also
allows one umt per 5 acres.
4. Conceptual Master Plan approval is the first step in the Master Plan process. The
purpose of conceptual reVlew and approval 1$ "to establish general land use
policies to gurde detailed planmng for and development of the Master Plan area..
The Conceptual Master Plan shallldentify the generalized land uses, transportatI.on
and ClIcula1J.on routes, and servIces proposed for the sne. ~ Secnon 5(A), Yelm
Master Plan RevIew Ordinance. ReVIew of the Conceptual Master Plan IS
performed first by the Planmng Commission and then by the City Councll.
ReVlew is as follows:
The Planmng Comnnssion shall review the application for
completeness and, If it determmes that the proposed Master
Plan is consIstent WIth the Comprehensive Plan and the City's
other plans and policies, recommend approval by the City
Coun~J. If the Planning ConumsSlon determines that the
proposed Master Plan 15 not so cOI1S1Sten~ it may either
demand for modifications SIJecifically idennfied or recommend
denial by the City Council. Conceptual approval by the City
Council~ upon a recommendatIon by the Planmng
Commission, shall consist of an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan and an amendment to the OffiClal zoning
map.
Section 5(B).
5. The effect of Conceptual Master Plan approval is as follows:

routes and case me number shall be identified upon the
official zoning map. These districts and routes shall only be
effective upon approval of a Master Plan meeting the
requirements of Conceptual Approval and this Ordinance.
Section 5 (D).
6. The Planning Commission held public hearings to consider the Conceptual Master
Plan on July 18, 1994 and August 1, 1994. Wntten comments were receIved
through August 15, 1994.
7 The original Conceptual Master Plan submittal shows a planmng area in excess of
200 acres in a smgle ownership. The Plan also proposes a IIllXtUre of uses
_mcluding smgle family residenual, multi-family residential, general commerCIal,
neighborhood commerCIal, and public facilities including schools, parks and water
system facillnes. The applicant proposes to serve the entIre Master Plan area WIth
public semces including transponatlOn, water, sewage, stann dr:nnage, other
utilines and open space. Tne subnnrta1 mcludes two proposed eIghteen hole golf
courses and an eXlStmg public golf course, all mtended to be mamtained as
qualified open space. The subnnttal also includes tvvo school SItes, totalling 23
acres, and a five (5) acre park site. The subIIDrta1 includes an area proposed for
community semce and commerCIal, for the purpose of SIting fire, police, or other
governmental services, rf needed. The SUbIDlttal does not mclude any proposed
industrial uses.
8 Tne Southwest Yelrn Conceptual Master Plan submittal proposes the
accommodauon of 5,000 dwelling umts, the number also used for consldenng
rmpaCi""s in the EIS. Tne Master Plan currently COnsISts of 108 acres of mulu-
family and 948 of single family.
9. The City intends to analyze densities on the basis of dwelling units per net
developable acre. "Net developable acres II are the number of acres remaining
after subtracting from gross area all land that is unbuildable because it is
environmentally sensiuve, park site, open space, transportation or utility corridor,
or for any other reason is mcapable of supporting development.
10. The applicant has proposed two areas for commer~...al uses. The first is an area
ne:u- the intersection of the proposed Y -1 Conidor and the internal main loop road
within the Plan area. The applicant currently proposes the designation of 51 acres
as General Commercial in this area. The Pl~nnlng Commi~sion received testimony
expressing concern over the scale of commercial development in the Southwest
Yelm area as a potential threat to existing commercial businesses within the
current City of Yelm. A phasing plan for the buildout of commercial development
FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECO~ATION

.---'-..-
in the Master Plan area was suggested in conjunction with this testimony. The
Planning Commission heard testimony from the applicant that a severe limit on the
scale of commercial structures would preclude any reasonable market for the
commercul property. The applicant proposed a limit of 400,000 square feet of
commerCIal space in the Y-l Corridor area and a cap of 40,000 square feet for one
commerClal structure. The applicant would be agreeable to a phasmg plan for the
buildout of commerClal space In the Y -1 Corndor area. The Master Plan subrrurtal
also proposed the deslgnat:I.On of five (5) acres near the clubhouse as CommercIal
ServIce. The Staff Report has recommended that commercial development In the
commercial distnct near the clubhouse be linnted. The applicant has acqwesced
to an overalllinnt of 12,000 square feet of commercIal space Wlth a limit of 3,000
square feet per commerClal structure In the clubhouse area. The Master Plan map
has shown the deslgnat:I.On of a 16 acre parcel on the property owned by
Bosequette as General CommerCIal. Staff has recommended the replacement of
th1s designanon Wlth rouln-family on the grounds that the additional commerCIal
area is not necessary to serve the Southwest Yelm area and would unreasonably
- compete with and draw market share from the eXlstmg busmess core of the Ciry
of Yelm.
11. The City is In the process of amending Its Open Space and Park Ordinance to
provide for the dedication of open space ill the amount of five percent (5 %) of net
built area in smgle family deSIgnations and ten percent (10 %) of net built area in
muln-family deSIgnatIons. Applymg the proposed amendment to the Open Space
Ordinance, the followmg approximate dedicat:I.ons of open space will be reqUITed:
Tnurston Highlands Assocrates - 56 Acres
Rainier Estates - 11 Ac.res
Other Parcels - 16 Acres
Some concerns among Planning Comnnsslon members wel"e raIsed that the private
golf course on the Thurston High 1 :mds Assocates parcel should not be included
in the open space calculanons because the golf course will be a pnvate golf course.
12. The Master Plan submittal proposes that the Plan area be served entirely by public
and private utilities, including sewer, water, electricity, telephone, and cable TV
13. The applicant has shown the possible location for a future State Highway known
as the Y -1 Corridor. The applicant has shown the route for an internal main loop
road through the Plan area. The applicant has shown the dedication of right-of-
way access onto the Fort Lewis niilitary reservation in the locations shown on the
Master Plan map.

14. In conjunction with the Annexation of the Southwest Yelm area, the applicant
signed an agreement obligatIng it to pay the costs of the City' s Wastewater Reuse
Program to the extent attributable to the annexed area. The City has obtaIned a
Centenmal Clean Water Act grant that requITes a local matching share. Staff has
detenmned that the applicant's share is forty percent (40 %). Staff has notI.fied the
applicant that fifty percent (50%) of its share 1$ due by August 15, 1994. Staff
recommends that, as a condition of Conceptual Master Plan approval, tins payment
first be made. The Wastewater Reuse Program will require areas of open land for
rrrigation. The proposed golf course in the Thurston Highlands AssoCIates
ownershlp IS well-suited for such application. Staff recommends that the
installation of water and sewer lines necessary to serve the Plan area, as well as
all the pertment facilines, be constructed ill phases concurrent WIth development.
As such, staff also recommends that, pnor to final jyfaster Plan approval, the City
_ adopt an ordinance requiring installation of sewer and water lines ill phases as well
as a latecomer agreement providing for the reImbursement of the costS of such
installation, also in phases.
15 Tne Plannmg ComnusslOn received testunony from the Yelm Commumty Schools
that the proposed populanons In the Plan area would reqUITe the construcnon of
approximately seven new schools. The applicant has proposed tvlo new school
SlteS.
CONCLUSIONS;
1. The Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan IS consistent WIth the Master Plan
ReVIew Ordinance, Ordinance No. 495 of the City of Yelm, except to the extent
necessary to modify the Plan as prOVIded herem.
2. The enVlI'onmental review and documentation prepared by the City of Yelm for
the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan adequately describes the projec~ the
impac+..s and potential mitigation. The Addendum to the Fmal Envrronmental
Impact Statement for the Southwest Yelm AnnexatIon, issued on July 11, 1994,
satisfies the State Environmental Policy Act and rules promulgated pursuant
thereto. Pamcular project specific impacts and mingation will be identified at the
time of development review and approval.
3. The Staff Report accurately describes the project, background infonnatI.on,
applicable regulatory requirements, and analysis of staff concerns with the
revisions noted herein. The S taft" Report is attached as Exhibit A, and
incorporated herein by reference.
4. The Planning Commission recommends approval of the Southwest Yelm
Conceptual Master Plan by the City Council of the City of Yelm subject' to the

(3) Accordingly, therefore, development in the Southwest Yelm Master
Plan shall be between 3,946 dwelling units and 5,000 dwelling units.
D. Transportatlon and Utilitles
(1)
(2)
TIns conceptual Master Plan approval requires the establishment of
two Essential Utility and Transportation Comdors. Tne Y-l
Corridor will serve the park site and school SIte on the northern
boundary and the commercial property throughout the remamder of
the Corridor. The second essentlal comdor is the maIn loop road
that connects to State Highway 507, loops through the Thurston
Highlands ASSOCIates parcel, intersects the Y-l Comdor, follows
Berry Valley Road and connects to State Highway 510 at Killion
Road.
T.ne Planning CommissIon recommends the folloWIng mechamsm for
- -
dedicating the Essent:I.al Utility and TransDortation Comdors. All
- "...
property owners whose property will be burdened by th.e Corridors
will execute a recIprocal easement for the Corridors that will gwe
each property owner the nght to use the Comdor on every other
property. The easement will be executed pnor to City Council
approval or the Conceptual Master Plan. The easement will gIve
each property owner the nght to dedicate the entrre stretch of the
Corridor to the City in conjunctI.on with Final Master Plan approvaL
Dedication will be required as a conditI.on of final Master Plan
approval. In addition to the easemen~ the Planning CommisslOn
requires a Conconnrant Agreement, wherem Conceptual Master Plan
approval by the City Council will be conditioned on executI.on or the
reciprocal easement. For purposes of the reciprocal easemen4 the
Corridors will be descnoed generally as shown on the Conceptual
Zoning Plan. For purposes of final Master Plan approval., the
Corridors will be fixed by the mechanIsm described in the reciprocal
easement.
(3)
The main loop road running from the southwest to the northeast m
the Master Plan area shall be constructed according to an ordinance,
adopted prior to :final Master Plan approval, requiring that the road
be developed in phases associated with development. In those areas
where the road is not yet constructed in full to serve deyelopmen~
the road will be constructed to sub-grade elevation WIth a
maintenance coarse surface for the en1Jre rem~;n;ng length of the
right-of-way. The City shall also negotiate and adopt a latecomer
agreement for the construction of this road in a m~nner that provides

reimbursement according to the phases of construction. The
applicant shalL as a condition of this approval, agree to waive any
and all protests to any such ordinance and latecomer agreement.
(4) The dedicauon of the Y-l Corridor will be a sixty (60) foot right-of-
way to the City. In order to allow the potentIal future improvement
to a State Highway, the City will impose a fifty-five (55) foot
setback from each side of the dedicated nght-of-way. TIns will
ensure that structures are not constructed in the area that could
potentI.ally serve as the State Highway
(5) Pnor to final Master Plan approval, the applicant shall proVIde the
dedicatton of the access pOInts shown on the attached ExhibIt B,
Conceptual Zoning Plan.
(6) All development withm the Master Plan area will be served by the

the terms of the Wastewater Reuse Program.
(8) Prior to final Master Plan approval, the City shall adopt an
ordinance requiring the installatlon of water and sewer lines
necessary to serve the Southwest Yelm Master Plan area at the tlnle
of the first initJ.al development Wlthm the area. The City will also
negotiate and adopt a latecomer agreement for the re1IIlbursement of
the costs of installing such utility lines. The applicant shall, as a
condition of this approval, agree to waive any and all protests to any
such ordinance and latecomer agreement regarding the extension of
sewer and water.

APPLICANT'
Thurston Highlands Associates
BEQUEST
Conceptual Master Plan approval for 1,860 acres of property located southwest of the
downtown srea of the City of Yelm in what Is referred to as the Southwest Yelm
Subarea
~ENERAL INFORMA liON
Applicant:
Thurston Highlands Associates
c/o KCM Consultants
1917 First Avenue
Seattle, WA 98101
Location:
east of
Northwest of State Highway 507; north of sections 34 and 35;
sections 28 and 22; south of sections 13 and 14, west of
section 19.
Legal Description: See attached Exhibit A.
Land Area:
, ,860 acres.
fBOJECT DESCRIPTION
The applicant proposes 8 Conceptual Master Plan for the Southwest Yelm planning
area, A variety of land uses are proposed, including single family residential, multi-
family residential and commercial. A network of transportation arterials through the
planning area accommodates the projected development. The applicants have
proposed a location for the Y -1 state highway corridor through the planning area In
a manner that attempts to accommodate off-site physical conditions. A proposed
utility network would provide sewer and water service to the area and development
proposals wil\ be conditioned on the availability of such services.
c: \ WPSl \.SO\c:limt\y~'9lao\ST APl'IUlP.SWY
The project Is dominated by a proposed golf course and single-family residential area
at the western side of the planning area. on the property owned by the applicant,
Thurston Highlands Associates, The applicant proposes to serve the traffic and
circulation needs of the single-family residential areas with a network of looping
collectors/distributors. At the center of the golf course is proposed a clubhouse and
small commercial center.
To the southeast of the golf course, and along the proposed access road serving the
planning area from that area, are two parcels k.nown as the Doyle and Bosequett
parcels. Those parcels are proposed for multi-family residential use.
Directly to the east of the proposed golf course, but still on property owned by
Thurston Highlands Associates, is the proposed Y -, highway corridor running
north/south, On either side Of the proposed corridor, the applicant proposes
commercial useS. At the northernmost point of the corridor within the planning area,
and on the western side of the corridor, the applicant has located a proposed school
site,
To the east of the proposed commercial corridor, the applicant proposes a mix of
slngle~famlly and multi-family residential uses, with multi-family densities proposed In
a location closer to the existing downtown core to serve as a buffer between those
higher commercial uses and the single-family uses to the west. The applicant
proposes to connect the main access road through this area back to Yelm Avenue to
the northwest along Berry Valley Road and eventually connecting to Killion Road at
the Intersection with Yelm Avenue.
Finally, to the south of the mixed residential area lies the existing public golf course
and, south of the golf course, an area proposed for affordable housing. The golf
course will be retained in open space and the affordable housing area will be loned
either single-family, to accommodate manufactured homes, or multi-family.
~IAFF ANALYSIS AND f{ECOMMI;~DA TIONS
1. Wetlands
The original EIS for the Southwest Yelm annexation contains a wetlands map and a
wetlands study of the on-site wetlands. The wetlands work performed for the EIS
was adequate to consider the impacts on the wetlands from the annexation and the
various development scenarios. The proposal adequately accommodates the identified
on-site wetlands.
The CitY's Master Plan ordinance, however, requires the applicant to show the
location of wetland areas within the Master Plan area and "for a reasonable distance
beyond the boundaries of the proposed development to include adjacent or nearby
c: \WPSIlJ()\c~\yclm'9Ian\8T Af'ffUW.SWY

, , 7 - ! ;\ .. " ,( o..j . '.1 .' F M F '.I..
-7 '}.: i'l
~,'.l
lands where proJect impacts are relevant.. Because It is critical to consider the
Impacts of the Conceptual Master Plan on wetlands, including adjacent, off-site
wetlands, further study and identification of wetlands must be performed.
In particular, the applicants' proposed location of the Y-1 corridor will have
considerable Impacts off-site. The location of adjacent wetlands In the area of the
corridor roqulres that these wetlands be further studied and identified.
Prior to approval of the Conceptual Master Plan, the applicant must identify with
greater detail and perform further studies of both the large wetland to the south of the
planning area near the proposed route of the Y-1 corridor and any wetlands to the
north of the planning area near the proposed route of the Y -1 corridor. The extent of
such detail shall be sufficient to locate and map the boundary of such wetlands with
considerable reliability and to designate a classification of such wetlands according to
the City's Interim Resource Lands and Critical Areas Ordinance.
2. Y -1 Corridor
The applicant has proposed the location of the Y-1 state highway corridor existing the
planning area to the south and skirting the wetland in that area along the wetland's
western boundary. This proposed route mayor may not be feasible. The final route
will be determined fol/owing a feasibility study and analysis by the Washington State
Department of Transportation. In order to allow for ultimate flexibility, the applicant
shall propose a second, alternative location for the Y -, corridor along a route to the
east of the wetland and evontually exiting the planning area to the north along the
mid-point line of section 23.
3. Densities
The Growth Management Act requires the City to plan for, and eventually
accommodate, a certain projected population for Its urban growth area. Planning
must, therefore, either account for the reality that actual build-out densities will be
considerably lower than maximum densities under zon1ng ordinances, or Incorporate
B minimum density Into the zoning ordinance. Otherwise, the City will never meet its
mandate of accommodating growth.
To this end, It is the recommendation of staff that both the Comprehensive Plan and
Zoning Ordinance currently under development incorporate minimum densities,
Because the proposed Conceptual Master Plan must be consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance, or amend them accordingly, this proposal
should be modified to include a minimum residential density.
Furthermore, the current proposal shall be modified to divide the area Into tracts, with
each tract meeting the minimum density as well. ihe proposed golf course and
single-family residential area of Thurston Highlands Associates should be a single tract
C: \ WP:Sl ~1icGI\yelo1'9lan\8T AFPllCP .SWY
3
and labeled Tract A. The Doyle/Bosequett parcels to the southeast of the Thurston
Highlands Associates property should be a single tract and labeled Tract B. The mixed
use multi-family/commercial strip along the proposed Y-1 corridor should be a single
tract and labeled Tract C. The remaining residential area Including Rainier Estates, the
residential properties to the east, the existing golf course and the single-family area
to the southeast of the golf course should be a single tract and labeled Tract D.
Each of the tracts in the Conceptual Master Plan shall meet a minimum residential
density of 3.5 residential units per acre. Also, each development proposal eventually
submitted In the planning area shall meet a minimum density of 3.5 residential units
per acre.
Where considerable open space, parks, and unimproved capital facilities are planned
In a community, as in the case of the golf course, parks, water ponds and reservoirs
In this proposal, a city has difficulty meeting its overall density target. When open
space Is calculated In the density formula, It will severely diminish the density
calculation. Therefore, all minimum densities shall be calculated by excluding open
space, parks, water reservoirs and ponds, and any other open but unbullt area, other
than roads, from the denominator in the density formula. The text of the Conceptual
Master Plan shall be modified to provide such a net density calculation method.
The City's Master Plan ordinance requires the applicant to identify proposed densities.
The applicant's submittal provides an overall density of 2.7 dwelling units per acre
and several undefined zoning designations.
Prior to Conceptual Master Plan approval, the applicant must define the zoning
densities provided. In other words, the applicant must define the allowed density in
each of the proposed designations, including each of the sub-designations within
multi-family. Also, the applicant must explain how the proposed designations differ,
If at all, from the existing zoning designation In the City's zoning ordinance. Once
these definitions are provided, the applicant shall then provide the number and
percentage of units in each designation Finally, the applicant shall calculate and
show the total r.Jmber of Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs) In each designation,
Including commercial.
The applicant shall also propose a list of allowable, conditional, special and accessory
uses In each proposed zoning designation. The ultimate result of this work will be a
proposed zoning ordinance for the Southwest Yelm planning area.
4. fhaslng
The Master Plan Ordinance requires the applicant to identify the anticipated phasing
of development. The current proposal does not adequately set forth such anticipated
phasing. The applicant must provide a Phasing Plan that, to the extent reasonably
possible, describes the anticipated residential populations, Infrastructure needs and

projected land uses for each geographic area within the planning area and for each of
four, 6-year Increments.
5. BQad.s
The applicant has proposed the main loop road through the planning area, from
Highway 607 along the Doyle/Bosequett parcels, through the golf course/single-family
residential area, intersecting the Y-1, and finally connecting with Yelm Avenue along
Berry Valley Road and to Killion Road. Prior to Conceptual Master Plan approval, the
applicant must dedicate an aD-foot right-of-way corridor along this route, subject to
further refinement by legal description when the details of the road design are
finalized.
In order to avoid Incremental construction of the main IQop road, and the potential for
an unconnected road, the City will seek the construction of the entire road up-front
as a condition of the earliest proposed development. The City will agree to negotiate
a latecomers agreement for the reimbursement of the costs of such road.
In order to facilitate such an agreement and satisfy state law, the City must first
adopt an ordinance requiring the construction of the road. The City will begin
preparing such ao ordinance. As a condition of any Conceptual Master Plan approval,
the applicant will be required to enter an agreement waiving any right to protest such
an ordinance and latecomers agreement.
Following Conceptual Mast Plan approval, City staff intends to begin the preparation
of a construction and latecomer package, requiring that the roadway be dedicated,
designed and constructed in phases to meet the applicant's anticipated phasing, and
an accompanying latecomer agreement that allows for reimbursement to the applicant
on such a phased basis. It is not necessary that the construction and latecomer
package be in place prior to Conceptual Master Plan approval.
The City also requires, 8S a condition of Conceptual Master Plan approval, that the
applicant agrees to dedicate right-of-way access points onto the Ft. Lewis military
reservation in the locations shown on the map that was returned to the applicant with
comments.
Finally, the City requires the elimination of the smallloop/cul-de-sac In the southwest
corner of the planning area. In its place, the applicant shall provide either a dedicated
rlght-of~way following the same angle as the road to the city boundary, or actually
construct the road along the same route to the city boundary.
G. Water and Sewer
In 1993, the City of Yelm entered into an Annexation Agreement with the sponsor of
the Southwest Yelm Annexation, Thurston Highlands Associates, who Is also the
C;\WPSI~\ydm"'Ian\STAF1'RBf' ,SWY
5
'.
applicant in this proposal. Under the terms of that Agreement, the sponsor agreed to
contribute the costs of the City's Wastewater Reuse Program to the extent
attributable to the annexation area. The existing sewage treatment plant does not
have the capacity to serve the planning area and will require expansion of its capacity.
Such expansion will require the continuation of the ongoing Wastewater Reuse
Program.
The City has obtained a Centennial Clean Water Act grant that requires a local
matching share. The grant totals approximately $220,000 and requires a 4% match
from the applicant. The grant will also be written to provide 60% of the grant up
front. The City seeks from the applicant 50% of the applicant's matching funds up
front as well. The City has notified the applicant that 50% of its total contribution
will be due by August 15, 1994. As a condition of Conceptual Master Plan approval,
this payment must first be made
As with the construction of the main loop road, the City will require, as a condition
of Initial development In the planning area, the Installation of all water main lines along
the main loop road, as well as all necessary reservoirs, tanks, wells and other lines
necessary to serve Initial development. The City will also require as a condition of
initial development, the Installation of all sewer collection lines and STEP systems
necessary to serve Initial development. The sewer line must also accommodate the
additional wastewater reuse line The utility lines must be oversized to serve the
entire buildings out of the planning area.
The City will agree to negotiate a latecomers agreement, but In order to facilitate such
an agreement, the City must adopt an ordinance requiring the installation of water and
sewer. As a condition of Conceptual Master Plan approval, the applicant will enter
an agreement waiving any protest to such ordinance and latecomers agreement. The
City will be developing a phased construction and latecomer package similar to the
one Intended for roads, and will investigate the possibility of allowing phased
construction and reimbursement.
The applicant has applied for new water rights from the Department of Ecology on
Tract A. The City's wastewater reuse program requires the availability of water on-
site. In order to facilitate the reuse program, the applicant has agreed to assign Its
water rights application to the City to incorporate the water rights ultimately certified
to the City. The parties are finalizing the final negotiations of an agreement for the
assignment.
7. Commercial Development
The applicant has proposed an area of commercial use along the Y -1 highway corridor.
Because the Y-1 highway will be a limited access highway, there will be no access to
the commercial development from the Y -1 highway. The only access will be from
C:\WP51 \SO\e1l<ot\yclmlplM\ST APFJtnP.SWY
6
along the main loop road, and a minimum of 300 feet f(om the intersection with the
Y-, highway.
The City Is concerned that commercial development In the Southwest Yelm planning
area will not only serve the customer base of the planning area, but will also draw an
unacceptable market share from existing established businesses in the downtown and
surrounding areas of the City. Therefore, the City imposes a limit of 26,000 square
feet per commercial structure and a total limit of 150,000 square feet in the entire
Individual commercial corridor along Y-1.
The applicant also proposes a commercial and service node near the proposed
clubhouse. This node is adjacent to and is served by access from the main loop road.
The City Is similarly concerned with the market share that this node will draw from
downtown. The City is also concerned with the size and scale of this node and the
development ultimately resulting therein. The City will limit the area of Individual
commercial structures in this commercial node to 3,000 square feet and an overall
limit of 12,000 square feet of commercial space In the entire node. Furthermore, the
City will Include In the zoning designation and comprehensive plan that commercial
development in this node will be modeled on a neighborhood village concept
8. Parks
The City's Master Plan Ordinance requires the applicant to locate and show the
relationship to local parks. The City seeks to provide park space to the nearly 5,000
projected residents of the Southwest Yelm planning area. The applicant has not
Identified any proposed parks in the planning area, other than what will be created on
school sites and the proposed golf course. The City requires the applicant to show
the location of at least two dedicated City parks within the planning area.
Also, Thurston County has acquired the railroad right-of-way once owned by
Burlington Northern along Highway 507. The County is currently planning for the use
of and access to that trail. The City has agreed to take the lead in coordinating the
effort between the County and Burlington Northern for establishing the trail as a utility
corridor to serve the Southwest Yelm planning area. The applicant has shown its
proposed crossings of the trail on its accompanying map The City requires the
applicant to obtain from Thurston CountY all necessary permits for crossing the trail.
9. Schools
The applicant has shown the dedication of two school sites, one mid-size and one/
small. The Yelm Community Schools have apparently requested the deveiopers to
provide another school site. As a condition of Conceptual Master Plan approval, the
applicant shall negotiate an agreement with the Yelm Community Schools to provide
an adequate number and size of school sites.

'.
Also, the Southwest Yelm planning area is divided between the Yelm Community
School District and the Rainier School DistriCt. Section 28A.315.250 of the Revised
Code of Washington requires that each city and town be comprised In a single school
district. The statute does not necessarily place the burden for amending the
boundaries of a school district on a city. In fact, It Is the City of Yelm's position that
the burden is on either the school districts, the educational service district or the
applicant to propose and amend the school district boundaries. The applicant shall be
responsible for nogotiating within the Yelm and Rainier School Districts, as well as
their educational service district for the proper modification to the school district
boundaries
CONCLt,JSION
At this stage in the application process, there are sufficient outstanding Issues and
questions that staff cannot recommend approval of the Conceptual Master Plan Staff
will continue to work with the applicant to resolve the outstanding Issues.
Staff recommends that the public hearing on this matter be continued to August 1,
1994 at 4:00 p.m. The decision should, therefore, be deferred to August 1 or
sometime thereafter.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Members, City of Yelm Planning Commission
FROM:
Jim Blundell, Owens Davies Mackie
DATE:
July 18, 1994
RE:
Southwest Yelm Master Plan
It is the recommendation of staff that the public hearing on the Southwest Yelm
Conceptual Master Plan be held today as scheduled and continued, not closed, so that
public testimony may be taken again at the August 1 meeting. As you will see from
the Staff Report, several issues remain unresolved. It was the hope of staff that these
issues would be resolved by today and, if not, that a continuation of the public
hearing would give us time to resolve them.
Staff does recommend, however, that the Planning Commission recommend to the
City Council the adoption of an initial Comprehensive Plan Amendment for the
Southwest Yelm Subarea. The Master Plan ordinance under which the area is being
planned provides that the Conceptual Master Plan be reviewed for consistency with
the existing Comprehensive Plan. This assumes that a Comprehensive Plan for the
area is in place. The only plan for the City is the 1985 Comprehensive Plan, but the
Southwest Yelm area had not yet been annexed so it does not apply.
In order to strictly comply with the requirements of the Master Plan ordinance, staff
recommends the adoption of the applicant's initial Conceptual Plan submittal as an
amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. This means that when the Planning
Commission and City Council eventually make a decision on the Conceptual Master
Plan, they will be reviewing the final submittal for consistency with the initial
submittal. The initial submittal will serve as the benchmark for further review.
Granted, this seems like a lot of work for such a minor, technical requirement.
Nevertheless, I hope you will all agree that the magnitude of the undertaking warrants
thorough compliance will all requirements.
I have attached a recommended motion for the Planning Commission following the
public hearing.
I have also attached an outline of the review standards and application requirements
taken directly from the Master Plan ordinance. Also attached is the flowchart of the
process requested at the last meeting.
JHB
RECOMMENDED MOTION
It is moved that the Planning Commission continue the public hearing on the
Conceptual Master Plan until August 1, 1994 at 4:00 p.m. It is further moved that
the Planning Commission recommend to the City Council approval of the adoption as
a Comprehensive Plan Amendment the applicant's first submittal for Conceptual
Master Plan Approval and Environmental Checklist, dated May 24, 1994.
