Box 479 YELMoTCN Yelm, Washington 98597 (360) 458-3244 Date: June 20, 2001 To: City Council From: Tami Merriman, Planning Technician Re: APP-01-8283-YL, Greenwell Appeal of May 21, 2001 Planning Commission Decision on BSP-01-8275-YL Yelm Multi Family LIST OF EXHIBITS: Exhibit I -Project Proposal Site Plans and Vicinity Map Exhibit II -Public Hearing Notice, MDNS, and Comment Letters Exhibit III -May 15, 2001 Binding Site Plan Approval Staff Report Exhibit IV -May 21, 2001 Planning Commission Minutes and Hearing Transcript Exhibit V -Notice of Final Decision Exhibit VI -Notice of Appeal A. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that City Council uphold the Planning Commission Decision to approve the project as conditioned in the Notice of Final Decision. The project meets the minimum standards, requirements, goals, and policies of the City. B. PROPOSAL: The proposal is to construct amulti-building apartment complex for a maximum of 48 units and to segregate the parcel from the Safeway site through a binding site plan. The applicant has proposed two options for the building locations and type. The proposal includes provisions for stormwater, street improvements, open space, and landscaping. C. BACKGROUND: The applicant, Wally Trace and Associates submitted formal application fora 44 unit multifamily complex on February 14, 2001. Notice of application was distributed to staff and surrounding property owners on March 1, 2001. A Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance was issued on March 28, 2001. In reviewing the application, it was found that the project met three of the four environmental and recreational amenities of Yelm Municipal Code Chapter 17.45.060 Density Requirements, and is allowed a twenty percent (20%) density bonus. The density bonus increases the allowed number of units on this site to 48. The project civil plans were reviewed by John Knowles & Associates for compliance with the City of Yelm Development Guidelines, the DOE Stormwater Management Manual, and general standards of civil engineering practice. The applicant submitted revised civil plans with the appropriate corrections. The City of Yelm Community Development Director provided to the Planning Commission, a detailed staff report outlining the project, staff analysis, and recommended conditions for approval. The Planning Commission held a Public Hearing on May 21, 2001. The Planning Commission moved to accept the proposal as conditioned in the City of Yelm staff report, and with the following conditions: 1. Satisfaction from the City Engineer that the fire flow in that area can handle this additional construction. 2. Confirmation of an easement in perpetuity, for egress and ingress through the Safeway parking lot to the East. The motion passed with all Planning Commission members in favor. On May 22, 2001, the City of Yelm Community Development Department issued a Notice of Final Decision, approving the proposal with conditions. D. NOTICE OF APPEAL: On June 4, 2001, a Notice of Appeal for BSP-01-8275-YL was submitted to the City. The appeal process is described in the City of Yelm Municipal Code, Chapter 15.49.160(A). The appellants submitted the Notice of Appeal within fourteen days, as required by 15.49.160(A), and paid the required fee of $100.00 The appeal cited several items for appealing this decision. Listed below are the items cited in the appeal. The items were categorized into five areas by staff, for staff analysis and findings. Effects to the neighborhood, surrounding area, and roads; including, but not limited to: 1. Traffic (a) Increased traffic (b) Safety of Safeway customers in parking area used as ingress/egress (c) Safety to children 2. Infrastructure (a) Water pressure problems (b) Drainage problems 3. Garbage (a) Odor (b) Varmints at trash receptacles 4. Wildlife (a) Destruction of wildlife habitat currently living on the undeveloped property (b) Destruction of trees Page 2 of 6 5. Quality of Life issues (a) Decrease to value of adjacent properties (b) Privacy of neighbors (c) Noise (d) Appearance of Neighborhood (e) Pet problems (f) Neighborhood security E. STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS: i. Traffic (a) Increased traffic A Traffic Impact Analysis was submitted with the land use application. The level of service (LOS) during the p.m. peak hour for the driveway onto Vancil Road and the intersection of Vancil Road and Yelm Avenue were analyzed. LOS is a qualitative measure used to characterize traffic operation conditions. Letters A - Fare used to define the level of service, with A representing good traffic conditions with little or no delay to motorist. LOS F is the worst and indicates poor traffic operations with long delays and represents intersections and roadways that are above theoretical capacity. With the proposed project, the Vancil Road and Yelm Avenue E. intersection will operate at LOS C, and the site access on Vancil will operate at LOS A during the p.m. peak hour. The LOS C for the Vancil Road/Yelm Avenue intersection is without the planned City improvement to realign Vancil Road. The City's Concurrency Ordinance requires all development to mitigate impacts to the City transportation system. The Traffic Impact Analysis estimates at full build out (48 units) the project will generate .60 new p.m. peak hour trips per apartment unit for a total of 29 new p.m. peak hour trips. The Transportation Facility Charge for this project is $21,750.00 **The proposal meets the minimum standards for Transportation and Site Access** (b) Safety of Safeway customers in parking area used as ingress/egress The .primary access for the apartment complex is off of Vancil Road, which has temporarily served as an emergency access for the rear of the Safeway building. The applicant has submitted a Road and Drainage Maintenance Covenant for the shared driveway. The existing driveway is the primary access proposed for the multi-family development and will remain the emergency access for the rear of the safeway site. On the east side of the parcel, the Safeway parking area will be connected to the apartment complex driveway, giving a secondary access to the site and providing for internal circulation between the apartments and the commercial uses. Pedestrian connections have been provided between the commercial areas and the residential areas, within the apartment complex, and to Vancil Road. (c1 Safety to children The City of Yelm Development Guidelines require road frontage improvements Page 3 of 6 on both Vancil Road, and the access road between the proposal and Safeway. These improvements include sidewalks and planter strips to provide pedestrian safety. Landscape buffers, and a 6-foot cedar fence between the adjoining properties, will separate the complex from the adjoining residential properties. The applicant is proposing a play area, and sport court on their site, for the children residing in their complex. Yelm Community Schools require mitigation fees to ease the burden of additional students into the school district. The applicant is required to pay the school district a mitigation fee. **The Planning Commission conditioned the approval on satisfactory agreement between Safeway and the Proponent for ingress/egress through the Safeway parking area to the east ** 2. Infrastructure (a) Water pressure problems The project site is served by the City's public water system. The lines that serve the site are located on Vancil Road. Preliminary calculations were reviewed and accepted by the Public Works Department. The applicant is required to connect to the City Sanitary Sewer Step System. ** The Planning Commission conditioned the approval by requesting satisfaction from the Citv Engineer that the fire flow is adequate for this project ** (b) Drainage problems 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. This report has been reviewed by the City's reviewing engineer, Mr. John Knowles. Following land use approval, the City Stormwater Manual requires the developer to submit a final plan consistent with the final impervious calculations for the site and incorporating the comments submitted by the City Engineer. **The proposal meets the minimum standards for Drainage/Stormwater Requirements** 3. Garbage (a) Odor (b) Varmints at trash receptacles The applicant has provided refuse area's for each building. Refuse areas must be enclosed and shall be screened with vegetation or constructed with materials that are architecturally compatible with the apartment complex. The applicant must coordinate with LeMay to assure truck access to the dumpsters and to arrange the appropriate number of weekly pick-ups to assure proper health and cleanliness standards. **The proposal submitted meets minimum architectural requirements ** Page 4 of 6 4. Wildlife (a) Destruction of wildlife habitat currently living in the undeveloped property (b) Destruction of trees The State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Environmental Checklist addresses environmental issues of new development. Among the questions asked is a section addressing any threatened or endangered species on or near the site. There are no known threatened or endangered species on this site. The landscaping required for the proposal will provide trees and landscaping to help reduce the impact of the removal of the existing trees, enhance the aesthetics of the site, and provide screening between the compatible, and incompatible land uses. **The proposal meets the minimum requirements for SEPA Wildlife and Landscaping ** 5. Quality of Life issues (a) Decrease to value of adjacent properties (b) Privacy of neighbors (c) Noise (d) Appearance of Neighborhood (e) Neighborhood security (f) Pet problems The property is zoned C-1 Commercial 17.26. Apartments at a density of 16 Units per acre are allowed. The C-1 zone is intended for the location of business centers. Placing multi-family between a high commercial use and single family residential dwelling will actually soften the incompatible adjacent use of Commercial and Residential Zoning. The Landscaping Requirements of Chapter 17.80 are intended to provide "screening where needed to promote safety, to provide screening between incompatible land uses, to safeguard privacy, and to protect the aesthetic assets of the City." The required buffer between the Commercial and Residential zones is a Type I landscaping 17.80.050. This is a very dense sight barrier and physical type buffer. The applicant will also place a 6' Cedar fence between the adjoining properties. Police protection is provided by the City of Yelm, and Fire Protection is provided by Thurston County Fire District #2. Adequate street lighting will be required for this project. Street lighting design must meet the City of Yelm's Development Guidelines, and will be submitted to Puget Sound Energy for review and approval. The City of Yelm has an Animal Control Ordinance, Yelm Municipal Code, Chapter 6, which applies to all City of Yelm residents. The City cannot regulate who may or may not have a household pet. ** The proposal meets the zoning landscaping and lighting requirements ** Page 5 of 6 F. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSION: Based on the Analysis, Findings, and Conditions of Approval in the City of Yelm Staff Report, and the conditions of approval added by the Planning Commission, staff finds that this project meets the requirements, goals, and policies of City of Yelm Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Title (17), Critical Areas Ordinance (14.08), Storm Water Drainage Design and Erosion Control Manual (DOE), Uniform Building Code, State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) Title (14), Road Design Standards, Platting and Subdivision Title (16), and the Shoreline Master Program. G. COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council may take one of the following actions: uphold the Planning Commission Decision to approve Case #BSP-01-8275-YL as conditioned, approve the project with modifications to the conditions of approval, return the application to the Planning Commission for further review, or deny the land use application.

PUBLIC HEARING OBJECTIVE: The Planning Commission must determine if the proposed project is consistent with the City of 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, approve the project with conditions or deny the project. B. PROPOSAL: The proposal is to construct amulti-building apartment complex for a maximum of 48 units and to segregate the parcel from the Safeway site through a binding site plan. The applicant has proposed two options for the building locations and type. The proposal includes provisions for stormwater, street improvements, open space, and landscaping. C. STAFF ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS: 1. Proponent. Wally Trace, Trace & Associates, 1605 NV~J Sammamish Road #107, Issaquah, WA 98027 2. Location. The project is located on Vancil Road, SE of the intersection of Vancil Road and Yelm Ave. (SR507), directly South of Safeway and East of Curry Ct. SE, Yelm, WA 98597 3. Public Notice. Notice of the Public Hearing was published in the Nisqually Valley News on May 11, 2001, and posted in public areas on May 9, 2001. The notice was mailed to adjacent property owners and the applicant on May 9, 2001. 4. Existing Land Use. Safeway occupies approximately 2;3 of the site, the Exhibit III, Page 1 Date: June 20, 2001 CITY OF YELM MaY 15, 2001 BSP-01-8275-YL STAFI= REPORT EXHIBIT III APP-01-8283-YL remaining area is vacant. 5. Adjacent Land Uses. Commercial, residential and vacant property. 6. Zonino. The site is zoned C-1 Commercial District, Chapter17.26. Adjacent properties to the north are zoned C-1 Commercial District, Chapter 17.26, properties to the south and west are zoned Multi-family Residential (R-14) and the properties to the east are zoned C-1 Commercial and Single Family Residential (R-4). 7. Densi .The C-1 Commercial District, Chapter17.26, allows for a density of 16 units per acre as part of a mixed use development, provided the apartments represent no more than sixty percent (60%) of the site. Mixed Use Planned Development, Chapter 17.45, allows fora 20% density bonus provided three of four environmental and recreational amenities are met. With a density bonus the maximum number of units allowed is 48. The site plans submitted do not adequately provide for the three amenities. After discussion with the applicant, they are proposing to construct amulti-use facility on the western open space located next to Vancil Road. The improvements to this area would likely be a sport court and a big toy playground. The open space located in the center of the buildings would be developed with substantial and exceptional landscaping. These improvements would meet the density bonus requirements of 17.45.060. 8. Transportation and Site Access. The site has road frontage on E. Yelm Avenue and Vancil Road. The primary access for the apartment complex is on Vancil Road, which has temporarily served as an emergency access for the rear of the Safeway building. The applicant has submitted a Road and Drainage Maintenance Covenant for the shared driveway. The existing driveway is the primary access proposed for the multi-family development and will remain the emergency access for the rear of the Safeway site. On the east side of the parcel the Safeway parking area will be connected to the apartment complex driveway, giving a secondary access to the site and providing for internal circulation between the apartments and the commercial uses. Pedestrian connections have been provided between the commercial areas and the residential areas, within the apartment complex and to Vancil Road. A Traffic Impact Analysis was submitted with the land use application. The level of service (LOS) during the p.m. peak hour for the driveway onto Vancil Road and the intersection of Vancil Road and Yelm Avenue were analyzed. LOS is a qualitative measure used to characterize traffic operation conditions. Letters A - Fare used to define the level of service, with A representing good traffic conditions with little or no delay to motorist. LOS F is the worst and indicates poor traffic operations with long delays and represents intersections and Page 2 of 7 Exhibit III, Page 2 Date: June 20, 2001 CITY OF YELM EXHIBIT III MAY 15, 2001 BSP-01-8275-YL STAFF REPORT APP-01-8283-YL roadways that are above theoretical capacity. With the project the Vancil Road and Yelm Avenue E. intersection will operate at LOS C and the site access on Vancil will operated at LOS A during the p.m. peak hour. The LOS C for the Vancil Road/Yelm Avenue intersection is without the planned City improvement to realign Vancil Road. The City's Concurrency Ordinance, requires all development to mitigate impacts to the City transportation system. The Traffic Impact Analysis estimates at full build out (48 units) the project will generate .60 new p.m. peak hour trips per apartment unit for a total of 29 new p.m. peak hour trips. The TFC for the project is $21,750.00 9. Parkina. Chapter 17.72, Off-Street Parking and Loading, requires minimum parking ratio's of 2 stalls per residential unit. The site plan provides 84 stalls which is short by 2 stalls at a density of 44 units. If the developer maximizes the density at 48 units, then the parking plan will need to be amended to accommodate 96 parking stalls. 10. Wastewater. The project site is served by the City's public STEP system. The lines that serve the site are located on Vancil Road. 11. Water Supply. The project site is served by the City's public water system. The lines that serve the site are located on Vancil Road. 12. Drainage/Storm water. 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. 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 land use approval the City Stormwater Manual requires the developer to submit a final plan consistent with the final impervious calculations for the site. 13. Fire Protection. Fire protection is provided by the Thurston County Fire District #2. As development occurs there will be additional-demands for fire service. 14. Police Protection. Police protection is provided by the City of Yelm. As development occurs there will be additional demands for police service. 15. Street Lighting, Adequate street lighting will be required for this project. Street lighting design must meet the City of Yelm's Development Guidelines and will be submitted to Puget Sound Energy for review and approval.

Landscaping, Landscaping and screening are necessary to promote safety, to 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 property boundaries which are adjacent to residential zoning have a Type I, 15', landscape buffer and an 8' landscape buffer on the property boundaries which are adjacent to commercially zoned properties. Both buffers have a 6' cedar fence. The conceptual landscape plan meets minimum City requirements. 17. Refuse Areas. The applicant has provided refuse area's for each building, however it is unclear if the LeMay trucks would be able to access the containers to their satisfaction. Refuse areas must be enclosed and shall be screened with vegetation or constructed with materials that are architecturally compatible with the apartment complex. The plans submitted meet minimum architectural requirements. 18. Open Sgace. Chapter 16.14 requires a minimum of ten percent (10%) of the gross area be dedicated as open space, which is .25 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. As submitted the project has approximately 10,000 sq ft, which meets the minimum requirement for open space. The basic requirement for open space is to comply with minimum use requirements as one or more of the following: 1. Environmental interpretation or other education; 2. Park, recreational land, or athletic fields; 3. Off-road footpaths or bicycles, trails; or 4. Any other use found by the City to further the purposed of the open space chapter. However, as discussed above in No. 7, Density, the applicant will be required to provided amenities beyond the minimum requires of the open space chapter. 19. Schools. As development occurs there will be impacts to the Yelm School District. The City received a letter from the School District requesting mitigation through SEPA. 20. Environmental Review: After review of the environmental checklist and supporting documents, a Mitigated Determination of NonSignificance (MDNS) was issued on March 28, 2001. The comment period expired on April 10, 2001. The MDNS is attached as Exhibit III.

Public Communications: None. PUBLIC HEARING: YelmMulti-Family44 UnitComplex BSP-01-8275-YL• Applicant: Wally Trace & Associates Proposal: To construct amulti-building apartment complex for a maximum of 48 units and to segregate the parcel from the Safeway site through a binding site plan. The applicant has proposed two options for the building locations and type. The proposal includes provisions for stormwater, street improvements, open space, and landscaping. Location: The project is located on Vancil Road, SE of the intersection of Vancil Road and Yelm Ave. (SR507), directly South of Safeway, and Wast of Curry Court SE, Yelm, WA. Mr. Gorman opened the Public Hearing at 4:00 pm. Please see Attachment A for transcript. Mr. Gorman closed the Public Hearing at 5:10 pm, and called for a motion on the project. The Commission discussed possible conditions. Mr. Gorman stated that one condition would be ingress and egress on the east side of the property. Mr. Gorman stated that he would like to see something greater than a 6' vegetation or some type of screening there that would provide more privacy on the South side of the development. Nts. Carlson stated that the code states that they have to provide a 15' buffer strip, and that the plant material has to be 8' tall within 3 years. The fence would be on the property line, and the planting would be inside the fence, on the development side. The 15' buffer separates the difference in zoning, where on the East side of the development, only an 8' buffer is required because it is compatible zoning. Mr. Carnev asked if it would be possible to have the certificate of occupancy and the intersection at Vancil issued at the same time? Exhibit IV, Page 1 Date: June 20, 2001 CITY OF YELM MAY 21, 2001 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AND TRANSCRIPT EXHIBIT IV APP-01-8283-YL Ms. Carlson: The traffic study did not show that the level of service at the intersection would be at or below what the City Council has approved for our acceptable level of service in our Transportation plan. We could not require that as a condition. Ms. Clapp stated that they are paying a traffic impact fee of $21,000. Is that earmarked for the Vancil intersection, or just in general? Ms. Carlson responded that the TFC charge will be put in the TFC fund, and that we already have funding appropriated for the Vancil Road intersection. 01-14 MOTION BY MARGARETCLAPPTOAPPROVETHEPLANSUBJECTTO AN AGREEMENT WITH THE DEVELOPER AND SAFEWAY IN PERPETUITY, CONDITIONS RECOMMENDED BY STAFF, AND ALLOW STAFF TO OVERSEE THE DEVELOPMENT AND NUMBER OF UNITS THAT THE CODE REQUIREMENTS ALLOW. THE MOTION DIED FOR LACK OF SECOND. Mr. Kent voiced concern that this project seems to have issues that are unresolved, access through Safeway, how many units will be built. Is there adequate space for parking. I am not clear on how high the fences will be. Mr. Gorman stated that he felt that staff is requesting flexibility to operate within the City Codes and requirements. It won't change the look of the project very much. Mr. Baker stated that we haven't shown the citizens that we are going to change Vancil Road, we haven't shown them that we have adequate water supply, we haven't shown them that we have septic supply or anything yet. Mr. Gorman stated that water supply is a condition of approval, Vancil Road is a separate issue. Mr. Gorman asked for confirmation that the development does have adequate septic availability. Ms. Carlson stated that they do, as determined through the application review. Mr. Gorman asked what legal options does a proponent have, on a project that meets all City requirements, if the City does not act on their request. Ms. Carlson stated that they would go through the same process that the private sector would, they could appeal to the City Council. If they didn't agree with City Council, they could take it to Superior Court. The City would have to have findings that the project does not comply with our requirements. Ms. Clapp stated that the items that seem incomplete are very objective. It is not making a call on aesthetics, it is very objective. Either they meet the numbers or they don't. _.•. =lanninq Commission Mai^2 2GC1 C:\COmmuni Cy Ceveiopmentl?lanr.inq Commission\Miaures and Agendas\Pc 2001 .min\:5.21.x,;min.•apd Page Z Exhibit IV, Page 2 Date: June 20, 2001 CITY OF YELM EXHIBIT IV MAY 21, 2001 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AND TRANSCRIPT APP-01-8283-YL Ms. Carlson stated, that in defense of the applicant, the applicant originally proposed 44 units. In staff review it was found that they had not maximized the density bonus. The applicant then asked to be able to vary his plan to optimize that density bonus. Ms. Carlson stated that this part of land use approval is very conceptual. If we agree that this conceptually meets all of our code requirments, provided all conditions are met, then land use approval is granted. At Civil review and approval is where they show that all conditions of approval are met. The Commission and staff discussed the possible options for continuing the Public Hearing, or requesting more information. 01-15 MOTION BY JOHN THOMSON, SECONDED BY RAY KENT TO ACCEPT THE CONCEPTUAL PROPOSAL TO CONSTRUCT MULTI-FAMILY APARTMENT DWELLINGS ON THIS SITE, PROVIDED THAT THE COMMISSION RECEIVES ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: 1. SATISFACTION FROM THE CITY ENGINEER THATTHE FIRE FLOW IN THAT AREA CAN HANDLE THIS ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION. 2. CONFIRMATION OF EGRESSTHROUGH SAFEWAYTOTHE EAST. ALL MEMBERS WERE IN FAVOR, THE MOTION CARRIED. Ms. Carlson reminded the Commission of the Joint Thurston County Planning Commission meeting scheduled for June 19, 2001 and asked if any Commissioners were interested in attending. Ms. Carlson invited Planning Commission member to attend a field trip to Muck Creek, in Roy, to look at a creek restoration project. The trip is scheduled for Thursday, May 31, at 2:00 pm. Muck Creek is similar to Yelm Creek, and this type of restoration project could be something that we could do in Yelm Creek.

Mr. Gorman asked if any Commission Member had a possible conflict of interest. There was no conflicts. Mr. Gorman asked if anyone in the audience objects to any member participating. There was no objections. Mr. Gorman asked if any member had received any information regarding this project, other than in their Planning Commission agenda package. There was none. Mr. Gorman asked Ms. Carlson to provide a staff report. Ms. Carlson: In addition to the written staff report, I would like to add a couple issues and clarify a couple of issues. In your packet you received 2 site plans, site plan A and site plan B. The applicant submitted site plan B with their original application, and submitted site plan A as an alternative. There are still the same number of units. What we are asking today is flexibility with the site plan so that they can accomplish the maximum density, and still stay within the requirements of that zoning. For example, the height of the buildings can not be more than 40 feet, and they can meet the maximum density requirements. To be fair to all of the citizens that are here, we wanted to make it clear that there could be some flexibility in the final design layout from what was originally sent out. The site plans to not vary a great deal. Mr. Gorman: Is the flexibility between now and the time that the project is finalized? Ms. Carlson: Yes, because the original plan was for 44 units, but with a 20% density bonus that is allowed by code, they could build up to 48. Mr. Gorman: For the benefit of the folks. here, what would be something that you might envision being changed between what we have now and the final plan? Ms. Carlson: If you look at plan A, the footprint of the two buildings running North and South, may add one more unit, they maay opt to add another building where the proposed garages are located to achieve the highest density. The buildings will not increase in height, and the applicant will need to maintain the 25' rear setback. The original proposal was for 44 units, but the code does allow fora 20% density bonus, which would make the maximum units allowed up to 48. The applicant is asking for the flexibility to see if they can make their plan work for 48 units. The applicant will still be required to meet all landscaping, stormwater, and parking requirements. In regards to the transportation to the site, the primary access is from Vancil Road, it will be connect to the Safeway site for both auto and pedestrian access. The intersection of Vancil Road and Yelm Ave., was evaluated in the traffic report. It currently operates at what we call level of service C, which is an acceptable level to the City. With the increase of traffic from this project, it will remain at a level of service C. ~Uay 21, 2001 Planning Commusicn Pubik Heanng Yelm lAUlti•Pamily..~a Unit amCing Site Plan Exhibit IV, Page 4 a,nacnmer,t A Ya~c I of I1 Date: June 20, 2001 CITY OF YELM MAY 21, 2001 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AND TRANSCRIPT EXHIBIT IV APP-01-8283-YL For Yelm Avenue, the City Council has chosen to adopt a level of service F, because of the problems with Yelm Ave. The City is in the process of working on an improvement project for that intersection, where Vancil Road will curve out towards Rite Aid making a true angle for the existing light. That project will probably not occur until about this time next year. The site plan that was submitted was short a couple of parking stalls, and if they add more units, they will need to further increase the available parking. As amulti-family development, the applicant is required to provide 10% of the site as open space, however, the language for density bonus states that you need to significantly improve the open space to receive the density bonus. The applicant is proposing to provide a sports court, and a "big toy" play area for children. The open space in the middle of the proposed parking area, the applicant is proposing significant landscape features, such as a pedestrian plaza, maybe fountains and that type of function. School mitigation has been addressed through the SEPA process. The transportation Facility Charge is based on 0.60 trips per unit, as per our ordinance. Mr. Gorman: Called on the applicant for any comments. Mr. Gordon Rush, representing Trace and Associates, owner Mr. Rush used the site plan display to describe the proposal. This is the area that we are proposing more active recreation (the SE corner), and more passive recreation here (the northern open space area). Right now, there is really nothing in this area, this would be either extensive landscaping, gazebo or picnic area. The parking issues, if we are short parking it would be picked up over here (near the proposed garage area). We may end up losing a garage unit or two to have enough room for parking. As far as going from 44 to 48 units, it would just be one more unit added on the end of the proposed structure(s). Other than that I would happy to try to answer any questions. Mr. Gorman: Lets get comments from the public first. Now is the time for folks to speak. We will start with Mike Buettner. Mike Buettner: Basically I am opposed to the whole project. A couple of things I have concerns over are the realignment of Vancil Road. I was told that, that was going to be done before Rite Aid was in, and I asked why it wasn't installed after Rite Aid went in, I was told that the City did not have the matching funds from the State, and didn't know when that street realignment was going to happen. The City has no funds to do that realignment. They keep talking about it, but, every project that comes in, it gets side stepped. The street intersection up by the theater, the only reason that light is going in is because the developer, I was told, has paid for it out of his own pocket, because the City doesn't have the funds to put that street intersection in. Also, the water pressure. They don't say anything about that, but my water pressure,...

I don't see how 44 units is going to impact the water pressure in that area. Are we going to have any water pressure when they get done doing this? That is basically everything I've got. Theresa Karayianes: I also live in the same community, and I also oppose the apartment building to be built. I also have problems with the water pressure occasionally when my neighbors are sprinkling their lawns, so dealing with an apartment building, I'm sure it going to be worse. Hopefully everyone here will oppose this building being built because we definitely don't need it in our neighborhood. Tom Isom: This project will border me on two sides, and the way this looks, this playground area, is going to be almost in my yard. Will I end up with all their garbage and stuff from the playground in my yard, people running thru my yard. This whole thing is way out of line. I got a mountain view that I am going to lose over this. The street improvements, we were told, like they say, before Rite Aid went and opened, this was going to be done. Now we are going to have an auto parts store there, this is going to impact it some more. There are numerous things that are, you know. Basically this is a cul-de-sac operation, right? Wasn't it in the City's Comprehensive Plan to get rid of cul-de-sacs? Stay away from it? Ms. Carlson: With the Y2/Y3 Corridor, Vancil Road was not to be connected to the Y2. At this point, it looks like Vancil Road will be cul-de-saced at the end, although City Council reserved the right to re-evaluate that design. For right now, it will be cul-de- saced. For this project is considered a private driveway. It is different than a subdivision, where you have different lots. In an apartment complex, once you enter the site, it is basically their driveway and parking lot. Connection through from one private property to another is not required. Mr. Isom: That road behind safeway is just a fire lane when it was put in. The road has no crown, it is an inverted crown in the road. Noise... I get enough noise from Safeway now from their refrigeration and stuff. I don't really want too much more traffic. Basically, like I say, its gonna decrease my land value. That's about all I have to say. Aff Birkland: I think that they have basically covered it, I have no comments other than the Vancil Road intersection at Yelm Ave. It's a mess. You get 3-4 cars in there and get a light change, the 3rd or 4"' car doesn't get out of there until the next light change. We got plenty of traffic, without having more places for people to drive their cars. Emilie Greenwell: I live on 107"' Ct., and my property backs up to, and will be sharing a fence with the propose project. My husband Jeff and I are here to say that we adamantly oppose, and are pleading with the City to please reject the proposal. On a lot of points. First of all property value. We are really concerned with the resale value of our property, you know having these units backing up to our property. I know people in similar situations in Oregon where they've lost property value when a similar type of property moved into their neighborhood. We are concerned with our privacy. Having people right in back of us.

It was a major consideration when we bought our house. We weren't expecting that. Looking at the site plans, our back fence will be right next to a parking area. I am envisioning exhaust, cars starting right at my fence in the middle of the night. A lot of really disgusting stuff. I've lived apartments before, there is lots of trash. Who's gonna be responsible when trash starts coming over my fence and into my back yard. Drainage issues, is there sufficient drainage areas, is it included? I'm also concerned about losing the wildlife in that area. There are rabbits, there are birds in there. It is a really pleasant place to live right now. We have a nice little greenbelt behind our house. This is not a huge space to be cramming in 44 - 48 apartments. It is going to be ugly to look at. There is a lot of area in Yelm, there must be somewhere else, we really don't want to see this in our back yard. Clifford Smith: I think everybody has touched on everything I wanted to say. I am kind of concerned about the little creatures we are going to be missing. We have some blue Jays. Blue Jay Manor Apartments is named because there is Blue Jays there all the time. I'm really gonna miss them, we got the little bunny rabbit. We got all kinds of little creatures coming around. Where are they gonna go? There's no place for them. I'm concerned about the traffic as well. I'm concerned about the rif raf. Its not exactly anything nice for them to look at, nothing to look at except the back of Safeway. I'm kind of concerned about the kind of people that will be coming in. Like everybody said, we are definitely gonna end up with all their garbage. I'm pretty concerned about this. Dennis Baker: I don't have any comments, I thought it was just a sign in sheet. Edmond Desoto: I live on 107`h Ct. also. I was looking for a place to retire, found this community here, it was a nice little community, and decided to purchase a house. Pretty much used all of my resources to purchase this house. To be right up front, if I had any inkling that there was going to be apartments there, I wouldn't have bought this house. I was told, I do understand, it has been clarified that the zoning is something else. That part of it is on us to accept that. Several of us were placed under the opinion that it was a greenbelt. It is a lovely greenbelt. They have mentioned all the creatures, especially the Blue Jays. I am amazed at the Blue Jays, where I'm from they don't have Blue Jays. My back yard is right there. I'm gonna have 2 stories right there. The second story is not only gonna look in my back yard, but guess what, my bedroom is there too. So I guess I will go ahead and completely seal my windows so that I don't have them looking into my bedroom. When it starts to get warm, you want to open your windows. You can't open it without feeling that someone is intruding into your privacy. Because it will be 25 feet away from the border. They will be looking into my bedroom. I'm not saying that they will be peeping toms, all they have to do is look that way, and it will be seen. I'm getting ready to retire. I am military so I am used to moving into areas where there's transit people moving in and out. My initial concern of having duplexes in that area was partially that people would not be so concerned with what is there. You know, only staying there temporarily then go. With duplexes there is a little more stability. You start talking about apartment complexes, that means more people are moving in and out. That is just my personal side of it. Then there are the other things that were mentioned. The traffic over there. I got to the light with 3 cars in front of me, and I had to stop at the light. I guess there are ways of adjusting that and fixing that. 'day 21, 2001 Planning Commission Public Heanng Atlachment A `(elm Pdulli-gamily, 41 Unit Binding $ile Flan Pace.

This is going to have a lot of pavement. Its going to put in a lot of parking spaces. With all the rain, where is it going to go? Chances are its gonna flow to the sides. Either back to our area, onto Vancil Road, or into the valley or the trailer court. Garbage...Oh my gosh. Even if you make the first brand new garbage cans in there, fine. But after that first week, those things are terrible. I understand that they did readjust the location of the dumpsters. That they wouldn't be at the corner of the homes. But hopefully it wont be closer to the other homes. We are not only talking about smell, we are talking about the vermin that is going to be ever present. No body can help that, while that stuff is there. You are going to have 44-48 apartments there. This is the top of my trash can, when it is full I put it in another container and I pay for an extra can, or I hold it and hope that I don't fill it up the next time. That doesn't happen. It gets tossed up until it just piles up. That just is going to promote more vermin. Today I put my trash can out without the cover. Guess what? The crows started tearing everything up. That's not gonna happen there, because this apartment or that apartment is not responsible for the garbage can. All they care is that they have a place to put it. Exhaust.. Exhaust really stinks when you start getting these buildings and fences. It just settles in. I don't know if this decision has already been made, and if this is just a formality. Please can we put in some kind of requirement. Maybe they take the 10 foot easement and transfer some of those filbert trees over there so the birds can still have something there. Maybe they can plant some of those fast growing trees, what is it? Spruce and Cedar that grow up in the air to create some privacy for our homes. That's not giving up, it is a desperate plea if the decision is already made. Maybe these types of things can be required so that we can at least try to keep it. I hope that I can stay there and still be happy. Melissa Howard: I live on Curry Ct. Our concern is not so much the view that we could lose. A lot of these worries are the trash that will be impacted from all the residents. If they are talking 44 - 48 units, given the impact of the automobiles. Lets say that each unit has 2 vehicles, you will double the number in autos. The number of people that you are going to cram into those units. The impact that also develops are the kids that are in the neighborhood now. There are a lot of kids that go back and forth Vancil. My concern is all those cars. They are renters, unfortunately you do have rif raf that come through. You get a lot of younger folks that don't care. They do not take care of where they live. The impact on the kids. Soraiebody could get hurt there. I was not aware of the light up at Vancil and Yelm Ave., the change that was to take place there. But with all the extra autos, what kind of impact is that going to have? Is there a chance of having another entry/exit on the opposite end of the property, on the other side of Safeway? They would exit out that way, as well or a main street out there. I don't know if there is room behind the trailer court. The greenbelt is very nice, to see the animals there. If they can save some of it, save some of it. My other concern is the impact of renters. How is that going to affect my property value, as well as everyone else's. Kathern Acoba: I live on 107`h Ct.

Ms. Acoba: So the second story people can still look over into the private back yards. Renters, Transient people, they don't care about the kids that run around to play safely in the streets, on the sidewalks. They will get run over, killed whatever. What type of guarantee can you give us as far as background checks for those people going to rent the apartments? Ms. Carlson: The City would not run background checks, that would up to the property owner or property management. Ms. Acoba: I'm looking at the bad side of things now, like drug use all that kind of stuff. We can't have kids running around areas like that. We don't need that. Mr. Gorman asked the Planning Commission members if they had any questions for staff or the applicant. Mr. Thomson: What is the fire flow rate for the City in pressure? Ms. Carlson: I don't know that. Tim Peterson would know the answer to that. It was evaluated by the City Engineer and they were required to bring their line in and loop it, so that they would have the fire flow pressure required. It was evaluated, but it wasn't brought forward as a concern or condition of approval by the public works office. Mr. Thomson: So the City Engineer designate the size of line they would run to meet the fire flow and signed off that the fire flow and pressure would be met. Ms. Carlson: Yes, and they also have to do a fire hydrant test again. Mr. Gorman: Can you explain the responsibility of the developer regarding the retainment of stormwater. Ms. Carlson: The applicant submitted a preliminary stormwater report that looks at the new impervious surface, the amount of stormwater that would be generated by that. They have proposed a stormwater system. All of it is underground. That has been reviewed by the City Engineer. The preliminary calculations look accurate, but we do require that the applicant go through a second analysis when they do their final Civil drawings and we know the exact impervious surface and make sure that they are meeting the 25 year storm flooding, and that the stormwater is being captured and pre- treated.

If it becomes a health hazard, we can call in Thurston County Health Department, but to be honest with you, the City doesn't become involved with those disputes. We have required as a condition of approval, that the applicant meet with Lemay, the garbage service company, to go over the site plan to determine how many times per week they will pick up garbage. What type of containers they need. If they are not adequate, or overflowing, then they can arrange to have a second pick up during the week, and also to make sure the enclosure can handle both the garbage and recycle containers. Mr. Gorman: Can you give us a schematic on the white board on how Vancil Road intersection will be realigned? Ms. Carlson: (drew on the white board, how the intersection will be realigned and explained that the project was stalled by an initiative) In the mean time, the City has been obtaining the needed right-of-way. The project is funded, and the City is continuing to obtain the needed right-of-ways. The City needs to go to bid in time to allow construction in the time frame that is allowed by WSDOT. We were not able to go to bid this year. It should go out to bid next year. The improvement at the Clark Road intersection is part of the overall Prairie Development project. That portion of the Yelm Ave. improvement project was broken out because we had the needed right-of-way, the funding was secured, and the developer had a portion of the cost to pay. The developer is working with the City on that project. ~'1-aoe 1--1450)Audience member: Asked what right-of-way is left to be secured? The announcements that came out said that Rite Aid and Safeway had to provide land for the right-of-way. Ms. Carlson: I am not sure, I haven't been working directly on that project. The project starts at 4`h Ave., down by Gordon's, and goes all the way down to 5-Corners, so the entire project is more than just the Vancil Road intersection. Mr. Gorman: What does the responsibility does the developer have, if any, regarding wildlife? I know in very big developments there is an assessment. Ms. Carlson: There is an environmental checklist process the applicant goes through. Sites are identified for potential priority species, habitat and those kinds of things. There was nothing identified on that site that WDFW has listed as priority or endangered. Unfortunately, it is part of having an urban area next to a rural area, there is not a lot that we can do about that. Mr. Gorman: Can you give the audience a general overview of what a Planning Commission does regarding zoning. I think it is very important for these people to know what the role of the Commission is. We might or might not like a particular project, but our role is not to rule on what is popular, but whether or not it fits into the applicable codes and zoning. Can you expand on that Cathie? `day 2t. 2007 Planning Commission Public 4earing Attachment A Yeim "+tulti-Family, a.i Umt 9inding Site Plan F':~c: ? of I-i Exhibit IV, Page 10 Date: June 20, 2001 CITY OF YELM MAY 21, 2001 PANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AND TRANSCRIPT EXHIBIT IV APP-01-8283-YL Ms. Carlson: Back in 1995, the City went through a large public process for Comprehensive Planning. Where we took a look at all the different types of land use and interests that the City would have. We laid out certain areas that would best be suited for commercial development, multi-family, and residential. We also looked at our infrastructure to make sure that it can support those areas, and if not, how that will be accomplished. That forms the goals and policies for the City. From there, you take those and develop development regulations, and zoning code regulations that implement those goals and objectives in the Comprehensive Plan. When a project like this comes to the City, the Planning Commission and staff are charged to review the project under all the codes that are applicable to it. In this case, that property is zoned commercial and apartment complexes are allowed, or they could do a different large commercial building there. There are height limitations, they can't build over 40 feet. There are parking requirements, landscaping requirements. Our job is to go through and make sure that all of those requirements, at a minimum, are met. If they aren't, we would require some type of mitigation, or conditions of approval that will in fact then meet the minimum requirement. It is a different story, if they had come in and wanted to do an apartment building in an area that was zoned low-density, which is 4 units per acre. They just can't meet the zoning requirements. That is when the Planning Commission could say no, you do not meet our zoning requirements. This is a case where it is an allowed use. The applicant has put together an application package that, from staff review, and with conditions of approval that is in the written staff report, it does meet our minimum standards. Mr. Thomson: To the applicant; Since there was a concern of privacy and potential for garbage problems, do you have plans to put a 6' privacy cedar fence around the property to protect the adjacent property? Mr. Rush: The application shows a 6' cedar fence between the adjacent property. Ms. Carlson: Assuming that the project is approved, then staff's responsibility is, as the project moves to the Civil process, staff will make sure that the applicant follows through with the standards that are required. Such as landscaping buffers required between residential. Mr. Gorman: I think that it's important that everybody understands. Mr. Isom: That's what was supposed to happen last time too, and they came in and pushed a bunch of my property out and never put a fence up. Never gave me nothin' for it. Mr. Gorman: Who is they? Mr. Isom: Whoever built Safeway. Ms. Carlson: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that was an agreement you had with Safeway personally.

Placement will be dictated by the postal service. Ms. Clapp: The driving situation, is the property line right down the center of that road, or are you getting aright-of-way from Safeway. Mr. Rush: I don't know the answer to that. I know that we have an easement to use it, but we are the only users of it. Right now it is barricaded off. This road will have no purpose, other than our use. It is gated on both ends. There is no access into Safeway's building. This road is only for our use, and as a fire lane for Safeway. Ms. Carlson: Actually, I can answer that. The Binding Site Plan does take the property line right down the middle of the road, and they have submitted a stormwater and road maintenance agreement that both Safeway and the apartment owners have signed along with a mutual agreement for upkeep. That document will get recorded with the Binding Site Plan. Ms. Clapp: This easement is for how many years? Ms. Carlson: It is not easement, the property line runs right down the middle, and the shared access that is described in the maintenance agreement runs forever with the property. It doesn't expire. Ms. Clapp: I don't know if this is appropriate for me to ask this, but would you like to say anything about your management plans, do you just build them and sell them, or do you manage them? Who is your potential tenant? Mr. Rush: These will be brand new apartments, so they will be on a higher rent scale per sq. ft. per comparable apartments. It's very hard. I can't really talk about renters and non-renters, and owners, I don't feel appropriate talking about that sort of statement. The higher the rent, the more established the renter. That's a known thing. As far as issues like trash, you put 48 people anywhere in the world, any subdivision, you will get one or two people that are not clean living people. The flip side of that is that you are going to have 46 people that are. As owners of facilities, if there is any kind of nuisance problem, whether it be noise at night, cars, any issue that is a public annoyance, I can guarantee that the bulk of the people that will live here are no different than the bulk of the people that live over there, they will complain.

We would be receiving complaints in our office. Ms. Clapp: Is Tim aware of the anecdotal reports of water pressure problems? Have they gone out and verified recently? Ms. Carlson: I think that historically, city wide, we had pressure problems with our water system. Especially during the summer time when our wells are being taxed at a pretty high rate. I haven't been aware of any particular problem or concern in that area. I know that the City continually makes upgrades to our existing system, and requires new developers to loop and put big enough size lines in so they don't have problems. 11 should not affect anyone else. If you are already having problems with water pressure, it shouldn't increase it. It is probably something else going on that is secondary to this. Ms. Clapp: What size is the pipe going down Vancil? They are not having to bring a bigger one down? Ms. Carlson: No. It is not that old. I would assume that it is an 8 or 10 inch. Ms. Longmire: Are these 1, 2, or 3 bedroom apartments? Mr. Rush: Their 1 and 2 bedroom apartments, 2'h stories. The definition-between 3- storyand 2'h story, is that the lower story is'/z below grade. That is why they are called'/2 story. You do not start at ground level and go up, you start below ground. I don't have the final architectural plans, give or take 24 feet, plus the roof which will probably be a 5/12 pitch. Ms. Longmire: If it is a one bedroom apartment, what is the requirement for parking? Ms. Carlson: It is still two stalls per unit. The only relief that we have in our code for parking is if it is designated as senior only housing or if they are studio apartments. Studio apartments do not have a separate bedroom. Ms. Longmire: Then they are way short on parking. Ms. Carlson: The garage counts as parking. It is in the staff report that they have to meet the parking requirements to continue with the project. Ms. Longmire: What I am concerned about is there is no space here, where people can park and have visitors, and there is no space internally for visitors either. There are not that many spaces. So what are we going to do with visitors? Ms. Carlson: Our parking code does not require visitor parking. This is our minimum standard.

Mr. Carnev: How long has this property been zoned C-1? Ms. Carlson: Since 1995. Mr. Carnev: Current zone allows 40 dwelling units for the project area. Unless they get the 20% density bonus, they are held at 40 units. Ms. Carlson: 16 units per acre would make 40. To get the density bonus, they have to meet certain criteria. They proposed to make the necessary improvements... the sport court, the big toy, and do a significant landscape project in the open space. Ms. Clapp: Can they bond for that? Ms. Carlson: They must submit a plan that meet minimum standards. Those would have to be constructed at the same time as the apartments are constructed. They could not have occupancy until those improvements are done, unless it happens to be at the very hot time of year and it is not good to plant trees. They may be allowed to make an assigned savings account, where they need to put 1.5 times the amount of money into a bank account, and then weather permitting they must plant. Mr. Carnev: On Vancil, how many lanes are we going to get? Are we getting a right turn lane? Ms. Carlson: Yes, when it comes up to the light, there will be a right turn lane and a pedestrian island between the right turn lane, and the main intersection crossing. Mr. Thomson: Can Safeway prohibit you from exiting to the East? Is there an agreement with the developer? There was a concern of people here of everyone going out to Vancil Road to the traffic light. It was mentioned that the road would also go into the Safeway parking lot to the East. Is there an agreement that Safeway cannot cut that off, or say you no longer can drive cars there? Mr. Rush: Safeway is not the sole ov!lner of all the land out there. They have sold some of the property, where the Mailbox etc., the Papa Murphy are. In specific answer to your question. There is some Safeway land driven across here, I need to check on what the easement situation is. It is my understanding that there is access all the way through. I need to check on that. Mr. Thomson: I have got the feeling that a lot of people here are very concerned about traffic, and they might feel better if the flow of that traffic, if the people going East would not even have to go onto Vancil Road, they could go out through the parking lot. It would certainly reduce the congestion. Is there some permanent agreement? Ms. Carlson: What we could do, if we so chose, is to add that as a condition of approval, that the easement gets recorded on the face of the Binding Site Plan that gets :lay 21.2001 Planning Commisswn Public Hearing Attachment A Yelm Mutts-Pamdy, 14 Unit i3intling Site Plan PaEC I I of I1 Exhibit IV, Page 14 Date: June 20, 2001 CITY OF YELM EXHIBIT 1V MAY 21, 2001 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AND TRANSCRIPT APP-01-8283-YL recorded. Then it would run with the land, and it can't be taken off the property, unless all the property owners agree. Nape 1--2563) Audience Comment: The road access from Vancil into the apartments is pretty tiny. Are they going to make it bigger with an entrance and an exit? Ms. Carlson; Yes, it is a full width with one driving lane each way, and a sidewalk on one side. Ms. Clapp: Could they make it wide enough to allow street parking? Ms. Carlson: That would be one way to get more parking, to meet there standards. (tape 1--2646) Audience Comment: As far as going through Safeway parking lot, into Yelm Ave., all that you can do is go to the right. You can't turn left out of Safieway and go across and go down Yelm Ave. (Tape 1--2682) Audience Comment: Where can a citizen go to be heard, what recourse do we have? Ms. Carlson: Citizens are welcome to speak to the City Council. Our Subdivision ordinance places the approval authority with the Planning Commission. Mr. Gorman: The process may not provide recourse, but I would assume that you could gp to City Council on anything. (Tape 2 --14) Audience Comment: Why then are we here, where can we go to be heard. My concerns are not about things that are regulations, my concerns are about my home, and my quality of life. Obviously this Commission is not going to hear that, so where do I go? Ms. Carlson: City Council decides policies and goals, and adopts all rules and regulations. When we did our comprehensive planning back it 1995, we had a huge community outreach, did a lot of visioning, had a lot of different input from various folks in the community, and have not reall}c gone back to that process. It is not a process that you go thru every 5 years, it is more of a process that you go through every 10 years. There are opportunities, we have different committees that you can serve on, the City Council meetings are a great place that you can come and voice your concerns. (Tape 2-- 46) Audience Comment: Do we have time to take this to them? Or is this out of our reach? Iy1s. Carlson: Through the appeal process. There is an appeal process that you can take to City Council if you disagree with the Planning Commission's decision. (Tape 2 --57) Audience Comment: Will you be making that decision today?

Ms. Carlson: After the decision is made at this body, there is a 14 day period that you can file a formal appeal to City Council. After the meeting I can get you the forms. Mr. Gorman: The Planning Commission will probably make a decision today, probably have conditioris of approval, access, barriers, what ever. Cathie will be available after the meeting, assuming that you are not happy with the decision, for you to identify what your next step might be. Ms. Curry: I would like to see a final site plan that shows all of the parking, I'm with Roberta, I can't believe that you are going to put 40 families in here, and they are not going to have company sooner or later. Where are they going to park? This is not a final plan and you are asking us for approval for a final plan. Ms. Carlson: I ask that you give staff the discretion to make sure they meet those requirements. (Tape 2 -- 109) Audience Comment: Is there a starting date for starting the project? (Pape 2 - - 113) Audience Comment: One of the things that distresses me a little bit, when these are going on, from what I understand, is when a project like this happens, the people that live there, must be notified of it. It is going to be backed up right against my property. Some people next knew, and then skipped me, skipped the people next to me, and I think it skipped that people next to them. How do we know, people are not finding things out. Ms. Carlson: Sometimes what happens is, when information is gotten on adjacent property owners through Thurston County Assessors Office, and sometimes they can be 6 months to a year behind in having the correct property owners listed. So if it was a vacant before, or a previous property that got the notice. There is only so much that we can do, because that is the most accurate and up to date information that we have. Hopefully, that's what happens, you learn about it from your neighbor and there was a notice posted on the property. _ Emile Greenwell: I heard about this for only 10 days, I think we should have known about this much longer. Had I had time, I probably would have gone out and gotten a petition and done what ever I could do to let the City know that I am unhappy about this. .(Tape 2 - 166) Audience Comment: I just wanted to know if there was an approximate date for start of the project and how long will it take. Mr. Rush: It is tentative for summer, but is of course subject to permitting. Probably 8 - 10 months to complete.

If we are required, it will depend. There are a lot of variables that determine whether you have to sprinkle a building or not. There are different things you can do to not sprinkle a building, depending on material used in construction. Based on the pressure that we have, that will determine whether we need a pump to drive the sprinklers if they were required. 'T'ape 2 - 204) Audience Comment: I am concerned about this water pressure, no one seems to know how much pressure is out there. Its become annoying. Mr. Gorman: The approval process does require that water issue be addressed. That is really almost separate from this body in that it needs to be addressed, but a user satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the system, I would suggest that you address it to the Public Works, or to City Council. Ms. Carlson: Public Works can give you a better overall picture of what the water system is, and what the pressure is in your area. ,(Tape 2 - 225) Audience Comment: O.K., so the water pressure has to be signed off before you can give the go ahead? You can't give the go ahead and then find out the water pressure is inadequate to supply the facility. Ms. Carlson: Correct, there are minimum fire code standards that need to be met, prior to construction. Preliminary Calculations appear adequate, but they will need to do some final testing. Mr. Gorman: Asked if there was anything more from the audience. Mr. Gorman: If there are no more questions from Planning Commission members, we will close the hearing, it is 5:10 PM.

Cathie Carlson Community Development Director cc: Mike Robinson Gordon Rush Charges added against accused- arsonist By Seth Truscott Nisqually valley News A 14-year-old boy accused of setting fire to Yelm's Emanuel Lutheran Church now faces added charges. The boy, a runaway who is being held in Thurston County juvenile detention, was arrested May 2 on a charge of reckless burning. Charges were subsequently increased to arson by a coun- ty prosecutor. Juvenile Prosecutor Lisa Kartes said Tuesday that a police investigation prompt- ed additional charges against the boy, including residential burglary, second- and third- degree theft, and two counts of malicious mischief. According to Kartes, four of the charges -burglary, theft, and the counts of mali- cious mischief -stem from a May 1 break-in at a Yelm residence, one day after the Apri130 church fire. While in the home, Kartes said the boy allegedly fired a BB gun, breaking a televi- sion and several windows. The third-degree theft charge, she said, stems from allegations that the boy stole and ate some food inside Emanuel Lutheran Church. The boy was originally questioned by Yehn police in connection with;the May 1 thefk, and then arrested as a suspect in the Emanuel Lutheran fire: After police :; turned the boy over. to juvenile deten- tion, Yelm :.Police Chief Brian Asmus' said, the. boy was questioned by sheriff's deputies about other burgla- ries in Thurston County.

Vancil Road ,residents ° Emilie and Jeff Greenwell instead went door-to-door on Memorial Day to inform neighbors of a planned 42-48-unit apartment complex that they believe will create traffic nightmares and hazards on their peaceful dead-end street.

Only .the city council has the authority to reject the proposal. It can also deny the appeal, or it can approve the commission's action with amendments, Carlson said. The Greenwells' have until June 4 to file an appeal. Wally Trace and Associates of Issaquah, along with Gordon Rush and CDA Architects, are seeking to purchase the 2.5 acres of land currently owned by Safeway. Greenwell said that, when she and Jeff moved into the neighborhood, they were given a copy of a contract that said Safeway would not develop on the land. Now she won- ders about the legalities of the national com- pany selling the land for a developer to build apartments on. Officials with Safeway's corporate office did not return calls for comment.

They endure outlandish stereotypes placed on their stu- dents, as well as themselves, by uninformed people. They have faith and respect for all their students, even those who somehow "slipped through the cracks" of a large high school setting. ,They. touch the lives of every student who enters the school and asks for nothing in return. Instead of giving us all the answers, they teach us skills needed to find the answers. They know when to say "yes'' and where to draw the line.

The enclosed documents eoznprise an appeal of the Planning Commission decision regarding case BSP-0 i-$273-YL. A total of 31 neighbors of the proposed apartment building are included as appellants, all of whom are opposed to the project. We look forward to the opportunity to address the City Council z~~hen this appeal is considered at a Council .Meeting. Items cited in the appeal are: effects to the neighborhood, surrounding area, roads: including, but not limited to: increased traffic, problems with water pressure or drainage, decrease to value of adjacent properties, privacy of neighbors, safety of Safeway customers in parking area z~~luch wi11 be used as ingress/egress, garbage, noise, odor, varttunts at tznsh receptacles, saftey to children, appearance of neighborhood, destruction of trees and z~~ildlife habitat currently living in undeveloped property, pet problems, neighborhood security. We, the appellants, are appealing the approval of this project in iY s entirety and requesting that. the building permit be denied due to the adverse effects on the surrounding neighborhood. Althought Yelm maybe in need of rental Housing to support local growth, we feel a more suitable location could be found, further from single-family homes, in an area z~~here current homeowners would not be negatively impacted.
