Re: SPR-OO-8249-YL - Safeway Fueling Station - Notice of Final Decision
Dear Mr. Paulus:
The Site Plan Review Committee has considered your application for the above referenced project and
finds that as conditioned below, the proposed project is consistent with the Yelm Comprehensive Plan
and all applicable City policy's and development standards. The approved project consist of seven
fueling islands (14 fueling positions), kiosk, landscaping and infrastructure improvements as depicted
on drawings (signed set enclosed) prepared by SSOE, Inc, dated May 11, 2000.
Pursuant to Chapter 15.49, Integrated Project Review Process, a project which is subject to Site Plan
Approval is a Type II Permit and can be appealed to the City Council. An appeal must be filed within
14 days of the date of this notice.
The affected property owners may request a change in property tax valuation from the Thurston County
Tax Assessor's Office.
The proiect is approved subiect to the followina conditions of approval:
Environmental
A Modified Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance was issued on June 6, 2000. Prior to issuance
of building permits all final mitigation measures identified in the Modified Mitigated Determination of
NonSignificance shall be met.
Transportation
Finding: Yelm is a small compact community most directly affected by two state highways which bisect
the community. The two state highways are used by local residents for transportation
throughout the city and for access to commercial and residential areas throughout the
community. In lieu of widening existing streets, the City has elect to create certain alternatives,
Y-1, Y-2, Y-3 which will avoid the need to significantly widen existing streets, and particularly
Yelm Avenue. New developments do in fact burden the city's central streets, and unless the
bypass alternatives are accomplished, the City would have to require developers to pay the
cost of the internal street widening. The city plans show and the City finds that adequate
facilities will be accomplished better and in a timely fashion by bypass facilities as a substitute
for the widening of existing facilities. As a result, the City finds that the regional plans in fact
benefit projects in all areas on the City and will accomplish the goal of providing adequate
facilities to City standards within a reasonable time to serve the demands created by the
proposed project.
The following condition is based on the Traffic Impact Analysis, prepared by Heffron
Transportation, dated February 29, 2000 and Transportation Letter dated May 3, 2000.
Condition of Approval:
As required in the Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance the applicant shall mitigate traffic
impacts to the transportation system. Mitigation includes payment of the Transportation Facility
Charge (TFC) for 33 new pm peak hour trips generated by the project. The total TFC is
$24,750.00. The TFC is payable at building permit issuance.
Water
Finding: The City's Water Comprehensive Plan identifies a portion of the City area for service. The
City is pursuing additional land areas for approval and the extension of facilities. Completion of
such activities is dependent on grand and developer funding, as well as planned bonding and
existing public funds. The status of such plans and funding sources must be considered in any
review of concurrency. Developer extensions and or dedications, latecomer agreements,
oversizing agreements, and the creation of local improvement districts may all be considered.
In the event of a new funding source, however, concurrency is not found until the funding
source is in fact in pace - e.g award of a grant, a binding letter commitment for third parting
funding, or the successful formation of a local improvement district. Any necessary water rights
are considered, only after approved for municipal use by the Washington State Department of
Ecology, or appropriate appeals board, and the time for appeal or challenge has expired.
Condition of Approval:
The applicant shall connect each new building to the City water system. The cost of connection
is established by City resolution and is payable at building permit. The meter fee shall be per
the City fee schedule. The applicant shall submit civil drawings for approval.

existing public funds. The status of such plans and funding sources must be considered in any
review of concurrency. Developer extensions and or dedications, latecomer agreements,
oversizing agreements, and the creation of local improvement districts may all be considered.
In the event of a new funding source, however, concurrency is not found until the funding
source is in fact in pace - e.g award of a grant, a binding letter commitment for third parting
funding, or the successful formation of a local improvement district.
Condition of Approval:
The applicant shall connect to the City STEP sewer system. The cost of connection is
