3 I Introduction (l) The lighting s\stem of a spe-
Cific road sectlon should accommodate the vIsual
needs of mght traffic (vehicular and pedestnan) and
be expressed m terms clearly understandable by
ltghting deSigners. traffic engineers and highway
administrators.
The VISUal envIronmental needs along the roadway
are described m thiS Standard Practice m terms of
pavement lummance, lumlOance umformity and
disabilIty vetlmg glare produced by the system lIght
sources. Table 2(a) provIdes the recommended lu-
minance deSign reqUirements, uDlformlty and the
relatIOnshIp between average lummance (Laue) and
veIlIng lummance (Lc)
The Visual needs along the roadway may also be
satIsfied by the use of Illuminance cntena. Table 2(b)
prOVides the recommended IllumInance deSIgn re-
qUlfements, consldenng the differences m roadway

(4) The formation of a tentative design concept
mvolves many variables. The chOIce of lIght source,
the extent to which available electrical distribution
facilities are used, and the types of poles, brackets
and.luminalTes selected are some of the factors that
will mfluence the economics of lIghting Any con-
sideratIOn of appearance IS ultimately resolved by
professional judgment, however, elaborate or ornate
deSigns, purely for the purpose of satisfying an es-
thetic deSire, cannot be Justified unless the baSIC re-
qUirements of good VisibilIty have first been attained.
It tS Important that roadwa~ lIghting IS planned on
the baSIS of traffic 1Oformatlon, which includes the
factors necessary to prOVide for traffic safet~ and
pedestrian security Some of the factors applIcable
to the speCific problems that should be~' conSidered
are:
(a) Type of land use development abuttmg the
roadway or walkway (see Section 2.2, "Area ClaSSI-
fications")
(b) Type of route (see SectIOn 2.1, "Roadway,
Pedestnan Walkway, and Bikeway ClasSIficatIOns)
(c) Traffic accident experience
(d) Nighttime secunty needs
(e) Roadway conditions. such as:
(i) Width of pavement and locatiOn of curbs
adjacent and withm the roadwa~ (Islands and me-
dians)
(Ll) Pavement reflectance
(UI) Severe grades and curves
(LU) Location and Width of Sidewalks and
shoulders
(u) Type and location of very high volume
driveways
(ui) Intersections and interchang~s
(ULl) Underpasses and overpasses
(um) Trees
.
3.2 Quality. (1) Quality of lighting relates to the
relative ability of the available light to provide the
contrast differences so that people can make quick.
accurate and comfortable detection, and/or recog-
nition of the cues required for the seeing task. If the
quality of lighting of an installation is higher than
that of a second installatiOn for the same average
lummance level, then visual detectIOn of typical tasks
is faster or easier under the first 1Ostallation.
(2) Many factors are interrelated to produce im-
proved quality of lighting. Although the quantitative
values and relative importance of these factors are
difficult to specify, the following are 1Ovolved.
(a) Disability glare and discomfort glare-
should be minimized
(b) Reflected specular glare-will conceal some
contrast difference
(c) A change 10 pavement lum1Oance-will
change contrast
(d) Uniformity of pavement lum10ance and
other background areas and uniformity of hOrizontal
and vertical illuminance
(3) It should be recognized that 10 many instances,
changes intended to optimize one factor relating to
quality will adversely affect another and the resultant
total quality of the installation may be degraded. In
order to achieve a proper compromise among these
factors, this Standard Practice or the Appendices
prOVide defimtions and recommendations cov-
ering'
(a) Luminalre light distributiOn in regard to
vertical light distributIOn, lateral light distributIOn,
and vertical control. (see AppendiX E.)
(b) Mounting height as a functIOn of maximum
candlepower
(c) M10lmum lum10ance at any pomt on the

Figure 2. Terminology with respect to luminaire ar-
rangement and spacing
POint Method uses the a\'erage luminance of the
roadway design area between two adjacent luml-
naires, divided by the lowest value at any point in the
area. The MaxLmum-to-Afzmmum Pomt Method
uses the mroClmUm and mmlmum values between the
same adjacent lummalres.
(2) The luminance values provided in Table 2(a)
are considered to be satisfactory only if the aver-
age-to-mimmum and ma:omum-to-mmlmum uni-
formity ratios do not exceed the limits specified in
this table (see AppendiX B SectIOn B4) The illu-
minance values given 10 Table 2(b) are satisfactory
if the average-to-mmlmum uniformity ratios are not
substantially exceeded (see Appendix B, Section
B3.4)
(3) A specified luminalre and lamp positIOn pro-
vldes a distinct light dlstribution. The same lumi-
nalre, utilizing a different type and/or size lamp, or
a different lamp position. may prOVide an entirely
different light distribution and uniformity ratio.
(4) The transverse posltJon of a luminaire, the
mounting height and tilt all affect the hght distn-
bution spread and, hence its uniformity These
factors must all be conSidered in relation to the
spacing-to-mountmg height ratio.
(5) The lum10ance umformlty (average-to-mini-
mum and maximum-to-mInlmum) considers the
traveled portion of the roadway, except for divided
highways having different deSIgns on each side.
Note: A system design must use photometric data
for each actual type and make of luminaire and lamp
be 109 conSidered.
3 4 Luminaire mounting height. (1) Mounting
heIghts of luminaIres ha\ e, 10 general, Increased
substantially dUring the past decade because of the
advent of modern, more efficacious, and h\~her
lumen output lamps. Engineers have 10creased
mounting heights 10 order to obtain economIc and
esthetIC gams In addition tv Increased UnIformity of
lummance and IlIummance values when utilizing
modern lamps. Examples are the 12-l() 15-meter and
higher mountmg heights used along roadways. and
the hIgh mast cluster mountmg of luminaires at in-
terchanges. The advent of SUItable servIcing equip-
ment has made thiS practICal.

CITY OF YELM
ENVIRONMENTAL CHECKLIST
Instructions
The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) requires all governmental agencies to consider
the environmental impacts of a proposal before making decisions The purpose of this
checklist is to provide information to help identify impacts from your proposal, to reduce or
avoid impacts from the proposal if it can be done, and to help the City decide whether an
EIS is required An environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for any
proposal with probable significant adverse impacts on environmental quality
This environmental checklist asks you to describe some basic information about your
proposal The City will use this checklist to determine whether the environmental impacts
of your proposal are significant and require preparation of an EIS You must answer each
question accurately, carefully and to the best of your knowledge Answer the questions
briefly, but give the best description you can In most cases, you should be able to answer
the questions from your own observations or project plans without the need for experts If
you do not know the answer, or if a question does not apply to your proposal, write "do not
know" or "does not apply" Complete answers to the questions now may avoid delays later
If the space provided is too small, feel free to attach additional sheets
Some questions ask about governmental regulations, such as zoning, shoreline, and
landmark designations Answer these questions if you can If you have problems, the city
staff can assist you
The checklist questions apply to all parts of your proposal even if you plan to do them over
a period of time or on different parcels of land Attach any additional information that will
help describe your proposal or its environmental effects You may be asked to explain your
answers or provide additional information for determining if there may be significant
adverse impacts
Nonproject Proposals Only'
Complete both the checklist (even though many questions may be answered "does not
apply") and the Supplemental Sheet for Nonproject Actions (part D) For nonproject
actions, the references in the checklist to the words "project," "applicant," and "property or
site" should be read as "proposal," "proposer," and "affected geographic area," respectively

This proposal is for multiple amendments to the Yelm Development
Guidelines. Included are minor amendments to Chapter 4, Transportation,
providing more detailed guidelines for illumination and deleting the specific
street tree list with a requirement to use the lasted adopted list. Chapter 6,
Water, amendments include modifying details to meet current standards and
correcting conflicts within the guidelines. Chapter 7, Sanitary Sewer,
amendments include changing references to outdated material part numbers
and conflicts within the guidelines. Amendments are mostly corrective rather
than substantive
