MEMQRANDUM
TO: Cathy Carlson
City of Yelm
FROM: Michael Welter ~
Director
DATE: October 25, 1995
SUBJECT: Nisqually Estates
Per our phone conversation earlier today, this correspondence will confIrm that Mark Carpenter
and Paul Steadman, developers of Nisqually Estates, met with me today to discuss issues
concermng potential. city required frontage improvements and how the county-owned Ye1m-
Tenino Trail might fit into the equation.
The meeting was very positive and resulted in the developers agreeing to develop the trail
corridor along the frontage of their property. This development would mean that a 17-foot trail
corndor would be created, WIth a 10 foot paved surface m the center. This trail development
will conform with the trail development standards of a Rural Trail Section as described on the
attachment. The developers would not be requIred to construct the equestnan section of the trail
corridor. TIus agreement is predIcated on the City of Yelm agreeing to this frontage
improvement alternatIve and the requirement for bike lane, SIdewalk and landscapmg
improvements along Highway 507 would be abandoned.
Tills alternative appears to be a win-win situatlon for the City, County and the developers. It
will provIde them an opportumty to fulfill their responsibuIt:J.es for frontage improvements, while
providing the City and County the beginmngs to creating a valuable recreational trail asset. It
will also set a precedence for further developments along the trail corridor and the value of the
project may be able to be used as a part of a grant application for future development of the
trail.
The Department appredates the City's consideration of this proposal and agreement. If you
have any questions, please call me. I look forward to working out the fmal details in this matter
with the City and developers.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
TO CITY COUNCIL
CITY OF YELM
SOUTHWEST YELM CONCEPTUAL MASTER PLAN
October 12, 1994
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 conclusions of
the Planning Commission, the testimony and record before the City Council, and the
envIronmental review, the staff recommends adoption 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 D 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 commercial
property throughout the remainder of the Corridor. The second essential
--..-----
{1 ,
t)
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
"Boulevardll 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 District or a
combination of botl, In order to :<eep all optior/,s 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 0 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.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 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-at-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-at-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
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 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, shaH 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 wi/I
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.

Section 5 (D).
6. The Planning CommisslOn 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 anginal Conceptual Master Plan subnuttal shows a planmng area In excess of
200 acres in a smgle ownersh1p. The Plan also proposes a mIxture of uses
mcluding single family resldentlal, mula-family resIdentlal, general commercIal,
neIghborhood commerCIal, and public facihtles mcluding schools, parks and water
system facilitles. The applicant proposes to serve the entrre Master Plan area wlIh
public sem~s mcluding transportatlon, water, sewage, storm dr31nage, other
utilines and open space. Tne subrrnrtal mcludes two proposed eIghteen hole golf
courses and an eXlstmg public golf course, all Intended to be mamtm..ned as
qualified open spa~. The subnuttal also includes two school sites, totalling 23
acres, and a five (5) acre park SIte. The subnnttallncludes an area proposed for

governmental servIces, If needed. The subrmttal does not mclude any proposed
industnal uses.
8. The Southwest Yeltn Conceptual Master Plan subnnttal proposes the
accommodaaon of 5,000 dwelling umts, the number also used for consldenng
rmpacts in the EIS. Tne Master Plan currently COnsISts of 108 acres of multI-
family and 948 of smgle family.
9. The City intends to analyze densities on the basis of dwelling units per net
developable acre. "Net developable acres 11 are the number of acres remaimng
afu:r subtractmg from gross area all land that is unbuildable because it is
envrronmentally sensitive, park SIte, open space, transportat:I.on or utility comdor,
or for any other reason is incapable of supportmg 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 tins area. The Planmng Commission received testimony
expressing concern over the scale of commerClal 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 Wlth this testunony. The
Planning CommissIon heard testimony from the applicant that a severe lirmt on the
scale of commercIal structures would preclude any reasonable market for the
commerClal 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
commercIal structure. The applicant would be agreeable to a phasmg plan for the
buildout of commercIal space In the Y -1 Corridor area. The Master Plan subrmttal
also proposed the designation of five (5) acres near the clubhouse as CommercIal
Semce. The Staff Report has recommended that commercIal development ill the
commercial distnct near the clubhouse be lirmted. The applicant has acqUlesced
to an overalllirmt 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 designauon of a 16 acre parcel on the property owned by
Bosequette as General CommercIal. Staff has recommended the replacement of
thIs designatIon Wlth multI-family on the grounds that the additIonal commerCIal
area IS not necessary to seI'V'e 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 m smgle family designatIons and ten percent (10%) of net built area In
mu1tl-family deslgnatlons. Applymg the proposed amendment to the Open Space
Ordinance, the followmg approximate dedicatIons of open space will be required:
Thurston Highlands Associates - 56 Acres
Raimer Estates - 11 Acres
Other Parcels - 16 Acres
Some concerns among Planmng Comrmssion members were raIsed that the pnvate
golf course on the Thurston Highlands AssoClates parcel should not be included
in the open space calculanons 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 pnvate utilines, including sewer, water, elecmclty, telephone, and cable 0.
13. The applicant has shown the possible location for a future State Highway known
as the Y -1 Comdor. 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 military reservation in the locations shown on the
Master Plan map.

recommends that, as a condiuon of Conceptual Master Plan approval, tlus payment
first be made. The Wastewater Reuse Program will require areas of open land for
rrrigatlon. The proposed golf course In the Thurston Highlands ASSOCIates
ownerslnp IS well-sUlted for such applicauon. Staff recommends that the
installation of water and sewer lines necessary to serve the Plan area, as well as
all the pertment facilitIes, be constructed m phases concurrent WIth development.
As such, staff also recommends that, pnor to final Master Plan approval, the City
adopt an ordinance requinng installahon of sewer and water lines m phases as well
as a latecomer agreement proVIding for the relmbursement of the costs of such
lDstallatlOn, also ill phases.
15 The Plannmg ComIDlsslOn receIVed teshmony from the Yelm Commumty Schools
that the proposed populations m the Plan area would requITe the constructlOn 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 herem.
2. The envrronmental reVIew and documentation prepared by the City of Yelm for
the Southwest Yelm Conceptual Master Plan adequately describes the projec'4 the

requires a ConcoIDltant Agreement, whereIn Conceptual Master Plan
approval by the City Council will be condinoned on executlon of the
reciprocal easement. For purposes of the reciprocal easement, the
Comdors will be described generally as shown on the Conceptual
Zomng Plan. For purposes of final Master Plan approval, the
Comdors will be fixed by the mecharusm 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

Cntical Areas Sensitive Aquifer and Wetland A wetland area has been identified on the
subject property and has been delineated by a professional wetland biologist
using the Federal Manual for IdentifvinQ and DelineatinQ Jurisdictional Wetlands
(1989) The wetland has been classified using the Washington State
Department of Ecology Wetland RatinQ System for Western WashinQton (1993 )
Soils and Geology
Topography
Air Quality
Traffic.
The wetland boundaries and classification have been confirmed in the field by
City of Yelm staff The wetland boundaries have been surveyed by a licensed
surveyor in the State of Washington.
The wetland in the northeast area of the site has been rated as a Category III
wetland Pursuant to City of Yelm Ordinance 426, Interim Yelm Critical Areas
Resource Lands, the buffer for a Category III wetland shall be 50 feet.
Spanaway gravelly sandy loam, Everett very gravelly sandy loam and Mukilteo
muck.
Rolling to flat.
The proposed project should not substantially affect the air quality
The Preliminary Plat drawing proposes an internal loop road system connecting
Nisqually Estates Division I & II, with one ingress/egress location for each
division The current interior street standard applicable for this proposal is
residential local access which requires a 54" right-of-way (cross section
attached)
A Traffic Generation and Trip Distribution Analysis was prepared by Heath and
Associates Because of the possible cumulative traffic impacts from Nisqually
Estates Division I and Division II, the study analyzed the proposed projects as
being built concurrently Based on the ITE manual it is estimated that the
proposed projects will add 127 new vehicle trips during the pm peak hour Of
these 127 trips, approximately 83 trips will enter and 45 will exit the project site
dUring the p m peak hour
The analysis estimated that 31 % of the traffic from the project is expected to go
through the "five-corners" Intersection, representing 39 vehicles tripS in the p m
peak hour
The analysis identified the following mitigation necessary to reduce the
threshold of the traffic impacts
1 The applicant shall contribute financially to the Five-Corners intersection
improvement and/or the Y -2 Alternate Route as specified in the 1992 Yelm
Comprehensive Transportation Plan Contribution is based on the number of
automobile trips generated by this site during the PM peak hour Total PM
Peak hour trips proposed, for Nisqually Estates Div II, to travel through the
Five-Corners intersection are 19 5 trips at $300 00 per trip = $5,850 00 The
19 5 trips reflect one-half of the cumulative impact from Nisqually Estates
Divisions I and II to the 5-corners intersection The applicant shall agree to
submit an agreement waiving any right the applicant might have to protest the
formation of a Local Improvement District (LID or Latecomer's Agreement.)
2 The applicant shall be responsible for site frontage improvements to SR 507
conforming to an urban arterial standard The site frontage improvements may
include a transit stop and shelter The location of the transit stop will be
determined at the time of improvements and will consider other applicable
developments in the area. These improvements shall be deferred until other
adjacent properties develop, so a single project can be implemented to avoid
piece-meal construction The applicant shall agree to submit an agreement

NISQUALLY ESTATES - DIVISION 'lW)
I
b...".",,,.,
_ ,J
Nisgually Estates Division Two (2) is a proposed subdivision located
on 15.27 acres. This plat consists of sixty (60) single family
residential lots. This number is below the limit set by the Southwest
Yelm Conceptual Master Plan. There is no non-residential use planned
for this developnent.
This subdivision has been planned for the potential developnent of
affordable housing. The target group for this developnent would have
a family income level of 120 per cent or less of the median income of
Thurston County ($42,800for a family of four). The need for this
incane level of housing in Yelm is well documented and has long been
recognized. The City has set aside 30 ERU's of sewer capacity to
allow this project to proceed.
Construction of this subdivision is to be phased in ten-unit segments.
Upon receipt of pennits to begin construction of the first phase, a
request for an additional ten ERU' s will be made to the City. This
process would continue with each ten-unit construction phase and allow
the subdivision to maintain a "bank" of sewer capacity for continued
developnent out through canpletion. Each phase would start only when
the ten owner-applicants were approved and funding in place.
All roads, improvements, and utilities would be in place prior to the
beginning of the first phase.

Dear Ms Carlson,
We have receIved a copy of the September 15, 1995 traffic report and offer the following
comments
We concur wIth the condItIOns Identified In the mItIgated determmatIOn of nonsIgmficance
The traffic study and the CIty of Yelm recommend constructIOn of a southbound nght turn
lane at the development's north approach, a southbound nght turn taper for the south
approach, and contributIOn to the CIty'S LID for the Five-Corners intersectIOn.
The traffic study dId not address the intersectIOn of SR 507 and 104th Avenue SE ThIs
street appears to be located east of the development It IS not clear If the proposed access
to thIS development will lIne up wIth thIS street. If 1 04th Avenue SE IS located OppOSIte
thIS development's property frontage, we recommend that the desIgn for the north access
approach be deSIgned as a four leg intersectIOn WIth 104th Avenue SE and SR 507
An agreement between the proponent and the Department will be necessary for
constructIOn wltrun the state nght-of-way The agreement process takes approxImately
four months to complete and will reqUIre a techmcal reVIew and approval by the
Department pnor to constructIOn. The actual dIrect and related expenses assocIated WIth
the reVIew process are the oblIgatIOn of the proponent.
Any costs mcurred by the Department on behalf of thIS project will be charged agamst a
JC account and billed to the proponent each month. Failure to pay In full each month will
result In the stoppage of the reVIew and approval process A copy of the JC letter and

Dear Ms. Carlson.
We have receIved and revIewed the above proposal and have the followmg comments
The Department requests the opporturuty to reVIew a traffic report for trus development.
The report should exarmne traffic movements on the OpposIte sIde of the lughway and
match other access locatIons.
With state laws, ReVIsed Code ofWashmgton (RCW) 47 50 and Waslungton
AdrmrustratlVe Code (WAC) 468-51 and 468-52, the Department has estabhshed an
Access Control ClassIficatIOn System to the State Highways to proVIde and mamtam a
safe and efficIent transportatIOn system. The Department has classIfied tlus sectIOn of SR
~ 507 as a Class 2 Controlled Access Facihty
Class 2 lughways reqUIre that "pnvate dIrect access to the state rughway system shall be
penmtted only when the property has no other reasonable access to the general street
system" Because tills parcel does not appear to have access to a county or CIty street and
the property frontage exceeds one thousand three hundred twenty feet the Department
may consIder grahtmg two access connectIon pemuts. However, the traffic report must
show that the additIOnal access will not adversely affect the desIred functIon of the state
illghway m accordance wIth operatIon of the state rughway
Smce it appears that the City of Yelm did not annex the state route, the Department of
TransportatIon has Junsdict!on regardmg the access connectIOn(s) We are attachmg an
applicatIOn form for an access connectIOn penmt(s) to the proponent's copy oftlus letter
It is anticipated that thIS will be a Category II (1,000 to 1,500 A WDVTE) and Fee per
additional connectIOn pomt (total of$I,750) The average weekday velucle tnp.ends
(AWDVTE) can be determmed from a traffic report (AntIcipate 120 lots tImes 10
tnps/each smgle family resIdence equals 1200 A WDVTE)
.' '"
City of Yelm
August 1, 1995
Page 2
The WashIngton State Department of TransportatIon will only accept surface water runoff
equal m qualIty and quantIty to that of the predeveloped sIte Any additIOnal surface
water nmoff generated will reqUIre appropnate stormwater mItIgatIon m accordance WIth
the Department of Ecology' s Stormwater Management Manual. In addItIOn, the
Department requests the opporturuty to reVIew the dram age plans and supportmg
calculatIons pnor to Issuance of any sIte development penrut.
Advertlsmg sIgns VIsible from an adjacent State Highway must comply WIth the State
Sceruc Vistas Act of 1971, wluch IS admIrustered by the Department. For mformatIon
regardmg the SIgrung regulatIOns, contact Jack SmIth m the OlympIc RegIOn Traffic
OperatIOns office at (360) 357-2620
The Department will not be responsible for nOIse attenuatIon. The proponent bears
responsibilIty of nOIse and land use compatibilIty The development should be planned,
deSIgned and constructed m such a way that nOIse unpacts are nurunuzed.

RE YEL95-8150 Nisqually Estates
Dear CathIe:
Thank you for the opportunIty to participate m the review process for this
proJect. ThIS letter comes to offer Intercity TransIt's comments on the pedestnan
and transIt elements of Nisqually Estates
Intercity TransIt operates two-hourly serVIce WIth the 92 route on SR 507 At
thIS time we are not planning to devIate mto the development to provIde
servIce, but wIll continue to operate along 507 To facIlItate transit usage by
resIdents of Nisqually Estates, we would lIke the developers to include a
passenger shelter and pad approxImately halfway between the two entrances to
the development. Our Stops and Zones Supervisor, Dane Clay IS available to
assIst WIth actual sltmg of the pad and shelter
I would also like to make some suggestions to improve pedestrian accessibility
throughout the development. The inclusIOn of pedestrian path easements
between lots in a loop development such as thIS one can do a lot to encourage
walkmg I suggest mcludmg easements between lots 1 and 2, 19 and 20, and 83
and 84 to provIde dIrect connectIOns to the traIl and to the transit stop on SR
507
AddItionally, an easement between lots 32 and 33 would provIde access to the
adJacent wetland, If that IS mtended to be public open space, one between 65
and 66 would provIde access to the golf course, If that IS deSIrable, and an
OJ
o
~
easement between lots 93 and 94 and 111 and 112 would provide a way for
people to walk more dIrectly from the cuI de sac to the easement between lots 1
and 2 and out to the trail. I live in a loop development that includes these
easements and people use them a lot. They are marked on the SIdewalk in
yellow pamt, so people know where to go
Thank you agam for the opportunity to offer mput. Please call if you have any
questions

Dear Ms Carlson.
We have received and reviewed the above proposal and have the followmg comments
The Department requests the opportumty to reView a traffic report for tlus development.
The report should exarmne traffic movements on the OpposIte side of the lughway and
match other access locatiOns
With state laws, ReVIsed Code ofWashmgton (RCW) 47 50 and Waslungton
Adrmmstratlve Code (WAC) 468-51 and 468-52, the Department has estabhshed an
Access Control ClassIficatiOn System to the State Highways to provIde and mamtam a
safe and effiCIent transportatiOn system. The Department has classIfied tlus sectiOn of SR
507 as a Class 2 Controlled Access Facihty
Class 2 lughways reqUlre that "pnvate dIrect access to the state lughway system shall be
perrmtted only when the property has no other reasonable access to the general street
system" Because tlus parcel does not appear to have access to a county or CIty street and
the property frontage exceeds one thousand three hundred twenty feet the Department
may consIder grantmg two access connectiOn perrmts However, the traffic report must
show that the addItiOnal access will not adversely affect the desIred functiOn of the state
hIghway m accordance WIth operation of the state lughway
Smce it appears that the CIty of Yelm did not annex the state route, the Department of
1 \ If TransportatiOn has JunsdlctiOn regardmg the access connectiOn(s) We are attaclung an
LlJa~ J r!--- - apphcatiOn form for an access connectiOn perrmt(s) to the proponent's copy oftlus letter
All~o( It IS antIcIpated that tlus will be a Category II (1,000 to 1,500 AWDVTE) and Fee per
, Q 0 C' ) additional connectiOn pomt (total of $1,750) The average weekday vehIcle tnpends
O\)-(,~ (AWDVTE) can be deterrmned from a traffic report (AntIcIpate 120 lots tImes 10
C ~\.LL ~ tnps/each smgle family resIdence equals 1200 A WDVTE)

The Waslungton State Department of TransportatIOn will only accept surface water runoff
equal m quahty and quantIty to that of the predeveloped SIte Any addItIOnal surface
water runoff generated will reqUIre appropnate stormwater mItIgatIon m accordance WIth
the Department of Ecology' s Stormwater Management Manual. In addItIOn, the
Department requests the opporturuty to reVIew the dramage plans and supportmg
calculatIons pnor to Issuance of any SIte development permIt
AdvertIsmg SIgns Visible from an adjacent State Highway must comply With the State
Sceruc Vistas Act of 1971, wluch IS admmIstered by the Department. For mformatIOn
regardmg the sIgrung regulatIOns, contact Jack SmIth m the OlympIC RegIOn Traffic
Operations office at (360) 357-2620
The Department will not be responsible for nOIse attenuatIOn. The proponent bears
responsibilIty of nOIse and land use compatibilIty The development should be planned,
deSigned and constructed m such a way that nOIse Impacts are mIrumIzed.

Development ServIces has receIved your notice and request for comment on the above-
referenced cases We would like to make one comment. We recommend that the
development provIde a road stub to the western boundary A likely 10catlOn would be
between Lots 27 and 28, dIrectly OppOSIte a cul-de-sac road that extends to the east. A
road stub m thIS 10catlOn would proVIde access to adjacent propertIes that may want to
develop and could lead to an eventual road connectlOn to George Road. ThIS stub for
adjacent development seems practical gIven Thurston County Parks' reluctance to grant
addItional road crossmgs of the Railroad Trail

Yelm, Washington 98597
Dear Ms. Badger:
I request that you allocate 30 additional Equivalent Residential Units
(E.R.U's) to Nisqually Estates Division II so that developnent can
proceed. A 60 lot subdivision with the required infrastructure is a
large financial undertaking and becomes unfeasible unless it is
clear that the project can be built out on schedule.
We are required to financially compensate the City for increased
traffic based on the entire 60 lot subdivision. The right turn lane,
right turn taper, extension of water and sewer lines, the paved trail,
and si te drainage are requirements for a completed developnent. All
fees, which are based on the entire subdivision, are required to be
paid prior to final plat approval. We are meeting the requirements
for a completed subdivision which is incomplete unless it has sewer
capacity.
We are ready to proceed and now need a corrunitment that sewer hookups
wlll be there for us.
Needless to say a quick response is necessary.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
