PLAN ELEMENTS • We believe the attached plans and specifications fully explain and answer the questions put forth in items 1-15. B. PROGRAM ELEMENTS 1. Statement of goal and objectives i.e., why it would be in the public interest and be consistent with the General Plan. The plan as attached showsthe intent of Glascam Builders, is to 411 build, on the site, a 45 unit condominium comprised of single level units. The applicant believeb the property to be attractively designed and adds to the neighborhood. There is a demand in Yakima for condominium apartments as has been demonstrated by our past sales history. In ncyy:sense are the condominium apartments detrimental to the neighorhood or the General Plan for the City of Yakima. 2. A market analysis adequate to meet the requirements of the Planning , Commission under the provisions of Section 12.50.040 of this chapter. There seems to be a ready market in Yakima for this type of living • arrangement. The undersigned experienced no difficulty in selling the apartments situated in Glen Heather, Glen Heather West, The Fontanelle, and The Heatherton, and has several pre sales in this new complex with many people who have expressed a great deal of interest to buy. 3. Evidence of resources available to develop the project. The attached letter from Yakima Federal Savings & Loan 'Association, V along with the capital and resources of Glascam Builders, Inc., we believe, will suffice for this. 4. Tables showing total number of acres distribution of area by use, percent designated for each dwelling type off street parking, streets, parks playgrounds, schools, and open spaces. The toal acreage of the development is 7.89 acres. The distrbution of area by use is as follows: • • • • t. • c rr3,7 - • - _ : , '! ..#5 . • GLASCAM BUILDERS, INC. c a, 6"..t , 5 1,31 3810 WEST NOB HILL BLVD. - YAKIMA.

Tables indicating over-all densities and density by dwelling types and any proposal for the limitation of density. There will be 5.7 residences per acre. Limitations on density will V be discussed under No. 8. Also, the attached By-Laws and Declaration should suffice. 6. Restrictive covenants, other than those relating to retention and 411 v / maintenance of commoll'open space. The attached By-Laws and Declaration should suffice. • 7. Development time-table. We will start construction of the north half of the complex upon completion of this application and would like to have the entire project completed within 24 months. 8. Additional information. The fences surrounding the project will be four, five andcs feet )1/1 ; height and of the same material as used in our previous condominiiim deielop- ments with the exception of the facing 56th Ave., which will be of masonry construction. Likewise, the landscaping will be similar to that used in our previous developments with a few added features as shown on the plot plan. It is believed that the requirements of 12.50.090 will be met by the execution of a Condominium Declaration and The Condominium Declaration and By-Laws so far as the same pertain to the retention and maintenance of common open space will be the same as the provisions in the Condominium Declaration and By-Laws affecting our otheT projects. It is anticipated that the Condominium Declaration and By-Laws affecting this project will be prepared when all of the foundations are in place that the surveyor can resurvey and make accurate exhibits to be attached to the Condominum Declaration. Copies of the Condominium Declaration and By-Laws will be filed with the City as soon as the same have been prepared and executed. There will be one main entrance to the development from 56th Ave. with a security gate system, along with an emergency access:only provided to ,„. • III r - r , . .

There will be a sidewalk with landscaped planter strips on both sides of the walk along the east side of 56th Ave. Said sidewalk and planters will be outside or west of the masonry wall. The Condominium Declaration will also contain restrictions on the ability of the owners to convert any common area to any other use or to construct additional residences. It is proposed that this will be accomplished by providing in the condominium declaration that there will be no conversion of the common area to other uses or the construction of any additional living units or the subdivision of living units without 100% concurrence of all of the members of the Association of Apartment Owners. It :seems to me that this would effectively prevent any material change in the plot plan as the same deals with common areas, etc. This language should also effectively limit any further density. 411 Glasc,, .Wilders Inc. r Campb 1,1' President k The street trees to be located on 56th Avenue are to be of a variety recommended by the Yakima City Street Tree Committee. •
