Other:
Mr. Beck introduced Kathy McCormick, Thurston Regional Planning Council (TEPC).
Ms. McCormick is our coordinating planner from TRPC that will be assisting the
Commission and City with the Comprehensive Plan Update. Items in the Comprehensive
Plan that need updated are population and housing projections, and the transportation
element.
Ms. McCormick explained the different areas of the comp plan update, and how TRPC
will be reviewing data and assisting the Commission with the update. It was determined
to create a subcommittee to meet with Ms. McCormick to review the data and findings
offered by TRPC in the update, and report their findings back to the commission. Ms.
McCormick projects the Commission will hold an open house in July 2006, a Public
Hearing in August, and forward the recommended update to the City Council for approval
in September 2006. The Comprehensive Plan will then be updated as part of Thurston
County's Comprehensive Plan Update.
Mr. Beck invited volunteers to serve on the subcommittee. Norm Allard, John Graver,
Terry Kaminski, and John Thomson volunteered to be on the subcommittee. The
subcommittee meeting schedule will be forth coming.
Mr. Jim Gibson, City of Yelm Development Review Engineer gave a powerpoint
presentation to the Commission regarding the flooding event in January 2006. The
presentation shows the high ground water flooding to be almost exactly where it was
expected it to be, and how different areas outside the City limits are effecting ground
water and flooding within the City.
