Yelm's Comprehensive Plan and applicable Municipal Code(s) After consideration of the facts
and public testimony the Planning Commission must take one of the following actions request
additional information from the applicant and/or staff, continue the public hearing or make a
recommendation of action to the City Council
B. PROPOSAL.
The applicant proposes to subdivide four (4) acres into 24 townhouse lots The proposed plat
includes one (1) primary open space tract with one (1) additional tract containing both open space
8nd the plat's stormwater system totaling 0 68 acres
C. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS.
1 Proponent. Rainier General Development
2 Location The project site is located on the west side of Cullens Road just north of
the Cullens Road and Coates Ave intersection
3 Public Notice Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Nisqually Valley
News on May 26, 2000, and posted in public areas on May 24, 2000 The notice
was mailed to adjacent property owners and the applicant on March 24, 2000
4 EXisting Land Use. Zoning and Density The site IS vacant and zoned Moderate
Density Residential (R-6), Chapter 17 15 The applicant proposes to divide the four
(4) acres into 24 townhouse lots In the R-6 District the minimum density is three
(3) units per acre with a maximum of six (6) units per acre As proposed the
subdivision density is six (6) units per acre and complies with the density
requirements within the district.
5 Adiacent Land Uses and Zoninq Properties to the north and south are zoned
Moderate Density Residential (R-6), Chapter 17 15 The property to the south is
developed, in part, at a R-6 Density and the property to the north is developed at a
rural density Property to the east of the site is not in the City limits and is zoned
RR 1/5, Rural Residential by Thurston County The property to the west of the site
fronts on Killion Road and is zoned Commercial Zone (C-1), Chapter 17 26 and is
undeveloped
6 Townhouse Development. Townhouses are an allowed use in the R-6 District and
are subject not only to the standard subdivision design requirements but those of
Chapter 1761 Lot standards require a minimum lot of 1,600 square feet, with a
minimum width of twenty feet. Setbacks are those of the underlying zone with the
exception of the front yard Chapter 17 61 requires a 25 foot front yard setback
rather than the 15/20 foot setback of the R-6 District. It is proposed that the
underlying front yard setback of 15 feet for the house and 20 feet for the garage be
applied to the subdivision
Also, Chapter 17 61 requires that no more the four abutting townhouses or
townhouse cluster shall have a common front building setback. Variation in
setbacks shall be at least four feet. It appears that all lots can meet the variation
requirements of Chapter 17 61, but in doing so the underlying rear yard setback
requirement of 25 feet can not be meet on lots 17 thru 20 It is proposed that lots
17 thru 20 comply with the setback variation requirement and reduce the rear yard
setback to 20 feet.
7 Open Space. Chapter 16 14 requires a minimum of five percent of the gross area
be dedicated as open space, which is 020 of an acre The open space must
provide one or more of the following uses environmental interpretation or other
education, park, recreational land, or athletic fields, off-road footpaths or bicycle
trails, or any other use found by the City to further the purposes of the open space
chapter The ordinance suggests that open space should be dedicated to the City
The applicant has shown three tracts as open space for a total of 068 acres Tract
A in its entirety classifies for full credit towards open space Tract A represents
approximately 0 15 of an acre Tract B is a combination stormwater facility and
open space and represents approximately 0 50 of an acre The area used for
above ground stormwater facilities does not qualify for open space Tract C, along
the entry is a landscaped area of approximately 0 03 of an acre and would not
typically qualify as open space Because Tract B is a multiple use and only a
portion of it qualifies for open space and Tract C does not qualify at all it is
proposed that all three tracts remain in common ownership
As proposed the minimum open space requirement is satisfied Conceptually the
applicant has indicated open space improvements which include picnic tables,
barbecues and sidewalks with benches
8 Schools New residential units create a demand for additional school services and
facilities The Yelm School District requests that the developer enter into an
agreement with the school district for the payment of mitigation fees based on the
project's impact. This request became mitigation of the Environmental
Determination
9 Transportation and Site Access. The site frontages on Cullens Road and provides
an access to Lot 3 of Short Subdivision 8119 The Cullens Road access to Lot 3 is
proposed to be abandoned and two new access are proposed from the Internal
streets of the subdivision
The Transportation Chapter of the Yelm Comprehensive Plan provides objectives
in which the Transportation Plan will be implemented The plan states
The objective of the Transportation Plan is to provide a cost-effective
network to accommodate travel in and around the core area To
accomplish this objective, Yelm will actively purse 1 A connected-streets
policy to promote the efficient flow of traffic within the community
The Design Guidelines implement the above objective through Section 4B020 4,
Design Standards," the layout of streets shall provide for the continuation of
existing principal streets in adjoining subdivisions or for their proper project when
adjoining property is not subdivided "
Also maximum cul-de-sac length allowed is 600 feet.
The design of the internal street system is a local access residential street. The
street that runs parallel with lots 13 - 20 is proposed to provide future access to the
properties to the north and possible the to south of the project site
The completed project will increase traffic and impact the City's transportation
system Chapter 1540, Concurrency Management, requires all development to
mitigate impacts to the City transportation system A townhouse generates 0 60
P m peak hour trips per unit. The Transportation Facility Charge per unit is
$45000 and payable at time of building permit.
10 Parkinq. Chapter 17 72, Off-Street Parking and Loading, requires minimum
parking ratio of two spaces per unit. The developer is proposing a double car
garage for each unit and a driveway approach that can accommodate two vehicles
11 Wastewater The project site is in the Sewer Service Area but is currently not
served by the City's STEP sewer system There is an existing 2" line available on
the adjacent property to the south The City Sanitary Sewer Plan requires a four
inch line along Cullens Road to service the site
The adjacent lots (Short Subdivision 8119, Lots 1 & 3) are currently served with on-
site septic systems Because of the close proximately of these systems the
proposed development is required to either design the subdivision around those
systems to ensure the septic systems and drainfields continue to function correctly
or abandoned the systems and connect the residences to the City S T E.P System
The applicant has elected to abandoned the systems and connected the residences
to the City S T E P System
The property is located within the Killion North LID District. Two Sewer ERU hook-
ups have been prepaid for this site ERU connection fees inside the LID are divided
into two methods of payment. The LID assessment fee of $1823 15 per unit is paid
on an annual basis for 15 years and the balance of the connection fee, $2,480 (fee
subject to change) is payable at time of building permit issuance The LID
assessment attached to this property is $36,463 00 At final plat, the assessment
will either need to be paid in full or segregated among the developed lots The City
is currently establishing LID segregation policy details
12 Water Supply The proposed site is in the City's water service area but is currently
not connected to the City's water system There is an existing 8" water line located
to the south at the adjacent property line Based on the City's Water
Comprehensive Plan the 8" line is adequate for future water service
13 Drainage/Stormwater The completed project will increase impervious surfaces on
the site and adjacent streets Impervious surfaces create storm water runoff
When uncontrolled and untreated storm water runoff can create health and safety
hazards YMC requires all development to comply with the Stormwater Manual for
the control and treatment of stormwater runoff
The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Stormwater Report that estimates the
impervious surface, infiltration rates of the runoff, and a conceptual design for
treatment and storage of the stormwater Following preliminary plat approval the
City Stormwater Manual requires the developer to submit a final plan consistent
with the final impervious calculations for the site
Stormwater facilities require continued maintenance to ensure they remain in
proper working condition

provide screening between compatible land uses, to safeguard privacy and to
protect the aesthetic assets of the City Chapter 17 80, Landscaping, requires the
applicant to provide on-site landscaping for all development proposals
The western property line is adjacent to property zoned Commercial (C-1)
Chapter 17 80 requires a 15 foot buffer of Type I landscaping along property
boundaries which have conflicting zone designations
The applicant has submitted a conceptual landscape plan that adequately identifies
the type and location of landscaping as required by the code

Cullens Estates preliminary plat application Following are the issues raised and our responses
to each
The new driveway for tax parcel #217123110500 will need to be constructed in its
entirety by the developer Please provide a construction detail for the driveway and the
driveway approach
Construction detail is enclosed
2. Please clarify why the easement south of Lot 21 is needed
,
This easement is for existing utilit,ies It can also be used as a secondary access road
for the existing house, vyhich contains two living units There were two driveways before
the plat of Cullens Estates, and the owner would prefer to ~ave two accesses
3 Please provide a conceptual plan of how the developer will meet the requirements for
appropriate open space use
The developer plans to install picnic tables, barbecues, and sidewalks with benches
The exact layout of the open spacewill be addressed further in the landscaping plan
4 It is unclear where and how many wells and/or on-site septic systems are on the site or
within 200 feet of the property Please indicate where they are located within 200' of the
property lines and provide a 100' radius around all wells.
A revised site plan showing the location of three septic drainfields and two wells and
indicating a 100' radius around the wells is attached

5 Which, if any, wells will be decommissioned or will anyon-site septic systems be
abandoned?
The three on-site septic systems will be abandoned and the two existing adjacent
residences will be connected to City S T E P sewer The on-site well will be
decommissioned and the home will be connected to City water The off-site well to the
north of the site will remain
,
6 Will the existing housing on tax parcel 21724110500 or 21724110501 be connected to
the City water and/or S T E.P system? If so, please provide a written state.ment from
the property owner stating his agreement which indicates who is responsible for all fees
and costs associated with a change in service
Rainier General Development will be responsible for all fees and costs associated with
connecting the existing "home on tax parcel 21724110500 to City water and S T E P
system The home on tax parcel 21724110501 will be connected to City water and
S T E P system by the owner, Clifford McFall A copy of the written agreement is
attached
7 How will the landscape buffer along the western property line be protected from future
property owners?
Maintenance of the landscape buffer will be addressed in the CC&Rs and will be
enforced 'by the homeowners' assoCiation
7 On the Preliminary Plat, under site data, please delete the net density line
The net density line has been deleted on the preliminary plat.
8 Please review the setback requirements in Chapter 17 61 040, Dev~/opment Guidelines
and amend the building footprints as needed
Building footprints are shown on the attached preliminary plat map The front setbacks
of the townhouses have been varied in accordance with Chapter 1761 040 G
However, in or.der to comply with the setback variation, the rear setbacks on Lots 17-18
and 19-20 become 4 feet less than the required 25-foot minimum We are requesting
an administrative variance from the minim'um rear setback for these. four lots
Additionally, the front setback in Chapter 1761 040 is indicated as 25 foot minimum
Because this minimum requir~ment is inconsistent with other residential districts in the

Re Cullens Estates
Initial Review of Preliminary Plat/Preliminary Drainage and Utilities Plans
JKA Project #0006c
Dear Mr Peterson.
John Knowles & Associates, Inc. has completed the initial review of the Cullen Estates project
documents thus far provided by Stephanie Conners We have reviewed the following documents.
. Environmental Checklist
. Preliminary Plat Map
. Preliminary Civil Drawings
. Preliminary Drainage Report
We have reviewed the design for compliance with City of Yelm Development Guidelines, DOE
Stormwater Management Manual, and general standards of civil engineering practice. Based on the
level of completion (preliminary) of the submitted documents relative to the City of Yelm Development
Guidelines, we consider the design documents to be preliminary; Le., the submitted plans should not
be considered final construction documents at this time
Our comments are described below'
In review of the Preliminary Drainage Report and the preliminary plans, the infiltration system and
biofiltration swale sizing calculations do not appear to take into account the offsite area draining to the
systems from the existing house that is surrounded by the project. Does the existing house have roof
downspout trench systems or does it drain to splash-blocks? The roof area may also need to be
counted in the design of the infiltration gallery It is also unclear as to the amount of offsite contributing
area to Road 'B' from the southwest. The project engineer should include a basin map in the final
drainage report addressing all contributing areas.
Sheet P2 - Preliminary Gradinq and Drainaqe Plan
There is minimal clearance between the proposed 12" diameter storm pipe in Cullens Road SE to the
existing power pole
The biofiltration swale is called out and drawn as 160 feet long but the drainage report shows 170 feet
required. The final plans should clarify and/or widen the swale appropriately to account for the shorter
swale.
The final plans should provide details of the proposed clean-outs at the ends of the 24" diameter pipes
in the infiltration gallery Final plans should also show the location of the existing septic tank and
drainfield.

Because of the length of Road 'B' from the intersection with Road 'A' to the south property line, will the
Fire Department require a temporary cul-de-sac or other type of temporary turnaround?
Sheet P5 - Conceptual Landscape Plan
The landscape architect and project engineer should discuss the clearance between the proposed
street trees along Cullens Road SE and the proposed 12" diameter storm pipe. There may be a
potential for the roots to interfere with the structural integrity of the storm pipe
If you have any questions, please contact Scott Danielson or me at (253) 539-1400
