City Clerk 2 David Edler, Mayor Exhibit "A" City of Yakima, Washington Office of the Hearing Examiner Preliminary Plat Application By SBJ Joint Venture For the 30 -Lot "Plat of Sierra Vista" Located in the Vicinity of South 93rd Avenue & West Walnut Avenue File No. Pre Plat 142-07 RECEIVED NOV 1 E. 200? CITY OF YAKir►„, PLANNING DIV. Amended Hearing Examiner's Recommendation INTRODUCTION. SBJ Joint Venture LLC has applied to subdivide vacant properties near West Walnut and South 93rd Avenue into 30 lots. City planning staff provided a staff report on the application to the Hearing Examiner on August 2, 2007. The staff report included copies of the preliminary plat application, vicinity and land use maps, copies of the preliminary plat, environmental review documents, city Design Services Team comments, outside agency comments, and copies of hearing notice documentation as well as comment letters and petitions from neighboring land owners regarding the environmental review documents and the underlying application. The Hearing Examiner visited the subject property on August 8, 2007 and conducted an open record hearing on August 9, 2007. At the hearing, the staff report was presented by Jeff Peters of the city planning staff. The applicant was represented by Eric Herzog of Huibregtse, Louman Associates, Inc., a Yakima -based engineering firm. City Supervising Traffic Engineer Joan Davenport provided comment regarding arterial traffic impacts from the proposal. Public comment was provided at the hearing by Linda Kusske and Pat Oveson, both residential landowners with properties nearby the subject property. After the hearing, the Hearing Examiner recommended the approval of the preliminary plat subject to certain conditions. At the closed record hearing conducted by the City Council on the preliminary plat, it voted to remand the recommendation to the Hearing Examiner to reopen the public hearing for the purpose of taking additional testimony on recommended conditions concerning public safety and accessibility related to traffic generated by the proposed development. Subsequently, by a letter dated October 23, 2007, the City of Yakima invited interested parties to a public meeting in the city council chambers on October 26, 2007. The purpose of the meeting was to allow the developer to present a revised preliminary long plat that provided for an alternate street layout and point of access to the subdivision. The Hearing Examiner conducted an open record hearing on the preliminary plat on October 31, 2007 in accordance with the Notice of Remand issued by the city. At the hearing, Assistant Planner Jeff Peters presented a report on the October 26 public meeting, expressing his opinion that the attendees at that meeting appeared to support the changes to the project. Bill Frodsham, identified at the remand hearingbyJeff Peters as the developer and indicated as the c Y ; ^al"etlt�a�' P ���#t��G owner of the subject property according to assessor's parcel mapping website, then presented and requested consideration of the revised Preliminary Plat of Sierra Vista. The revised plat provides for access to the interior lots in the proposed subdivision from West Chestnut Avenue rather then the previously proposed access by way of West Walnut Avenue. The western tier of proposed lots would be accessible exclusively from South 93rd Avenue. A Yakima Fire Department Representative expressed a preference from a fire safety perspective for the revised street plan, albeit with reservations about emergency vehicle access to a proposed flag lot within the revised plat. Several neighbors provided oral comments in support of the revised plat. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION. The Hearing Examiner, on remand of the Hearing Examiner Recommendation in this matter issued August 23, 2007, recommends approval, subject to conditions, of the preliminary Plat of Sierra Vista, dated October 22, 2007, which was presented at the October 31, 2007 hearing. Based on the staff report and exhibits, the viewing of the site, comments received at the open record hearings, and a review of the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, Development Standards Ordinance, Traffic Ordinance and the official recordingof the Closed Record Hearing on this matter, the Hearing Examiner makes the following FINDINGS. 1. APPLICANT. SBJ Joint Venture, 1113 Fruitvale Blvd, Suite 3, Yakima, WA, 98902. 2. OWNER. Bill Frodsham. 3. LOCATION. This property is located in the vicinity of South 93rd Avenue and West Walnut Avenue. 4. PARCEL NO(S). The affected parcel numbers are 18131933538, 18131934405, 18131934404 and 18131934405. The legal description of the subject property is set forth on the face of the Preliminary Plat of Sierra Vista dated October 22, 2007. 5. APPLICATION. Preliminary Long Plat to create thirty, Single -Family Residential lots, located on approximately 9.55 acres, coupled with an environmental review. 6. CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS. The subject property comprises four contiguous existing parcels created from earlier subdivisions that also established a right of way, access easements and utility easements affecting the property. The property slopes gently downward to the southeast. A 30 -ft dedicated right of way extends to the northernmost existing parcels from West Chestnut Avenue. The Page 2 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 RECEIV L1 NOV Ca 200 existing road in the right of way is gravel. An easement which is situated along the wes fil( ft( cypli :,, of the existing dedicated right of way was also established through an earlier subdivisi niieq°G I° g easement was established to serve at least one of the parcels comprised by the subject property. The gravel road also extends through the subject properties southward to Tieton Drive, but the underlying right of way does not. The property is bounded on the northern portion of its western boundary by an existing paved segment of South 93rd Avenue. The segment of South 93rd Avenue intersects with Torrey Pines Lane on its north end and Walnut Avenue on its south end. Both Torrey Pines Lane and Walnut Avenue extend to the west and intersect there with South 94th Avenue. South 94th Avenue extends north from its intersection with West Walnut Street through its intersection with Torrey Pines Lane to West Chestnut and further north, eventually intersecting with Summitview Avenue. West Walnut Street extends west through a jog at its intersection with South 94th Avenue to South 96th Avenue. An irrigation canal bounds the property on its southeast corner. Based on this system of streets, the property can be approached from two points off of South 96th Avenue by way of West Chestnut and West Walnut. No evidence has been presented indicating a clear legal right to an easement to Tieton Drive that would allow development of a road to serve the proposed subdivision that meets city street design standards. The nearest arterials to the subject property are South 96th Avenue and Tieton Drive. Other arterials in the area include Summitview Avenue and South 88th Avenue. The peak hour traffic reserve capacity of the arterial segments closest to the project is set forth in the staff report. Electrical and telecommunications services, natural gas, and public water and sewer services are available in the vicinity, although the existing sewer main in Tieton Drive has not yet been connected to the public sewer collector system. The property is within the Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District service area but is not presently served with irrigation water. 7. CURRENT ZONING AND USE. The current zoning of the subject property is (R-1) Single -Family -Residential. It is currently vacant. The surrounding properties in all four directions are zoned R-1 and are used for single family homes. 8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The 1997 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (p.III-3) designates the subject property as suitable for Low Density Residential development. 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION. The property owner proposes to subdivide approximately 9.55 acres of property into 30 new single-family lots that range in size from approximately 7,514 to 15,553 square feet. The preliminary plat as presented at the October 31, 2007 open record hearing is included with this Pape 3 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 ��1!..11 V ZLZ NOV 1 5 2007 tsf Cy OF YA KIMA recommendation as Exhibit 1. It is identified as "Plat of Sierra Vista" and is dated OctcilatMAJc Dingy. 2007. The revised preliminary plat is hereafter generally referred to as the October 22 plat. Seven of the proposed lots would front exclusively on an existing segment of South 93rd Avenue, which would be fully developed to meet city street design standards. The remaining 23 lots would be served by the extension southward of South 92nd Avenue from West Chestnut Avenue. All streets, curbs, sidewalks and lighting would comply with applicable street design standards. These facilities are proposed to be included in a dedicated right of way. No separate irrigation system has been proposed. Specific provisions for parks and open space, public schools are not included in the application materials. According to the SEPA checklist included with the original application, drainage would be managed through on-site infiltration. All lots will have access, be provided with public utilities, exceed 7,000 square feet and provide a minimum lot width of 50 -feet as measured at the rear of the required front yard setback. Lot 13 is a flag -shaped lot with a 20 -foot wide access frontage on South 93rd Avenue, but is otherwise 60 -feet wide at its narrowest point. 10. PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE IMPACTS. Traffic. Both written public comments and oral comments provided at the public hearing on the first version of the plat identified concerns on the part of neighboring residents about increased traffic on local access streets as a result of the development. On that basis, numerous neighbors to the subject property called for a second access street to serve the subdivision by direct connection to West Chestnut Avenue. At the hearing on remand, public commenters all expressed support for the October 22 plat. The greatest concentration of traffic impacts from the project would be at the intersection of West Chestnut and South 92rd Avenues, based on the street grid in the area. At the hearing on the initial preliminary plat, Pat Oveson called for access by direct connection to Tieton Drive rather than West Chestnut Avenue in order to avoid traffic impacts to West Chestnut, which is not an arterial street. However, no evidence has been presented to establish the existence of any sufficient legal right to access to Tieton Drive that is appurtenant to the subject property. Based on comments from Mr. Oveson, there may potentially be a 30 foot access easement from the vicinity of the intersection of the irrigation canal and Tieton Drive on the south part of the subject property, but the installation of an access street meeting Title 12 standards would require acquisition of more property. In addition, while the record contains the neighbors' expressions of concern regarding traffic impacts to local access streets, the reopening of the hearing did not produce new comment or , technical information pertaining to earlier assessments by city staff or the SEPA responsible official of the significance of public safety impacts from the residential development of the properties. Those assessments did not indicate undue effects on traffic safety and neighborhood values from the proposed subdivision. They provided part of the basis for the original recommendation for preliminary plat approval to the City Council. Page 4 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 litUti i1 EC) NOV 15 2007 s,MTY OF YAKIMeMf. Pl ANlll4? Ole It remains the case, notwithstanding the additional statements provided at the reopened hear`mg, that an increase in traffic on local streets will result from additional home construction along those streets. The city has in place a set of ordinances designed to assure that safety and the character of residential neighborhoods are not compromised by new development. Title 9 YMC, the city Traffic Code, has been enacted in the exercise of the police power of the city of Yakima to protect and preserve the public peace, health, safety and economic welfare. YMC 9.05.020. Title 9 provides for speed regulation and enforcement of rules of the road. It establishes that the City Traffic Engineer is responsible for implementing measures to provide for traffic and pedestrian safety, including the identification of hazardous traffic conditions. It establishes speed limits for all city streets. In addition, Section 12.07.010 YMC provides: In order to provide sufficient information to assess a development impact on the transportation system and level of traffic service, the city engineer may require a traffic study to be completed at the developer's expense. This decision will be based upon the size of the development proposal, existing roadway condition, traffic volumes, accident history, expressed community concern, and other factors relating to transportation. The Supervising Traffic Engineer provided comments on the subdivision that called for Transportation Concurrency Analysis, but did not require a traffic study, even in the face of expressed community concern at the initial open record hearing. Furthermore, the Hearing Examiner and city council may, upon recommendation from the city engineer, require street design standards above and beyond the minimum standards in Chapter 12.06 YMC if deemed appropriate to ensure a safe and efficient street system. The city engineer made no recommendation for changes to the proposed street design. No evidence has been presented that street design of the subdivision and traffic controls and regulations will be insufficient to achieve the purposes of Title 9 YMC, Title 12 YMC or the Subdivision Ordinance. Accordingly, the record does not support a condition requiring access to Tieton Drive rather than to West Chestnut Avenue. Emergency Vehicle Access. International Fire Code § D107.1 requires two fire fighting apparatus access roads for a development comprising more than 30 lots. A single access is acceptable under the code for 30 lots or fewer. The fire department representative at the remand hearing expressed a preference for the proposed revision presented by the subject property owner based on more direct access to the 23 interior lots off of West Chestnut. If access is sufficient for fire fighting apparatus access, it is likely that it is sufficient for other emergency vehicle access. At the same time, the fire department representative expressed concern about Lot 13 as proposed, because the 20 -foot wide frontage represents a potential bottleneck for emergency vehicle access to a residence on the property if the driveway is used for parking. However, this same concern would be presented by any lot configuration that included a 20 foot public street frontage, which is specifically permitted in YMC 14.25.040.B. Page 5 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 as2007 Transportation grid maintenance. The city traffic division commented that it is genera y DIV. desirable to promote the integration of new subdivision interior street systems into the street grid design in the interest of connectivity. The October 22 plat street layout does not improve transportation grid connectivity. The comments did not indicate how additional connectivity could be achieved given the land ownership pattern surrounding the subject property, nor did they recommend higher street design standards to promote efficiency of the transportation system. On the other hand, "Residential streets shall be planned to discourage their use by nonlocal traffic." YMC 12.06.060.B. These considerations do not compel any condition to change the street design for the October 22 plat. Sufficiency of Access. The October 22 plat contemplates the effective merger of the existing 20 - foot access easement with the existing 30 -foot right of way to provide the dedicated street connection for 23 of the proposed lots to West Chestnut Avenue. The merger would result in a 50 -foot wide strip of property that could be developed into a street that complies with local access street design standards. For this approach to provide sufficient access to the property, the developer should be obliged as a condition of fmal plat approval to provide proof of a legal right to dedicate the entirety of the 50 -foot strip for the installation and maintenance of a standard public street with all improvements. 11. PARKS AND RECREATION, PLAYGROUND, TRANSIT AND SCHOOL IMPACTS. The preliminary plat was provided to the Parks and Recreation and Transit Divisions within the city public works department. The plat was also provided to the West Valley School District superintendent. None of those agencies identified significant impacts or service issues presented by the proposed subdivision. In addition, the SEPA Responsible Official did not identify any significant impacts to parks and recreation, transportation system or school system -related elements of the built environment. 12. DEVELOPMENT. SERVICES TEAM (DST) REVIEW. The DST reviewed the proposal on June 13, 2007. Comments from the DST members are included in the staff report. Additional information required for fmal plat approval that was identified by DST members is set forth below. Engineering Division: Street lighting, sewer and storm drainage will need to be addressed per City of Yakima standards. A Stormwater design made in accordance with the Eastern Washington Stormwater Management Manual and the City of Yakima Stormwater Guide must be included with the improvement design plans and specifications. The Stormwater runoff calculations supporting the design must be submitted to the City Engineer's office with the design plans for review. Street names are required. Addresses are to be assigned in accordance with Public Works direction, which is contained in the staff report. Life Safety Division: The Life Safety Division commented that two hydrants will be installed interior to this development. It noted that one hydrant must be place d at the intersection of Page 6 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 NOV t 5 ?00 ' of Y Atthiri r"3 South 92nd Avenue and West Walnut, and the other at the intersection of South 92°d Aveni eaai lNG D V Bell Avenue. Approval of the preliminary plat should be conditioned on an updated analysis of plat to assure appropriate placement of hydrants in light of the October 22 preliminary plat. Nob Hill Water Association: Nob Hill Water Association (NHWA) currently has water lines on Torrey Pines Lane and West Walnut. In its review of the initial preliminary plat, NHWA commented that an easement along the north edge of the plat is necessary to loop these lines together. Approval of the October 22 plat should be conditioned on the establishment of easements within the plat to allow looping in accordance with NHWA standards. Irrigation: Because the parcels are in the Yakima Tieton Irrigation District, the district wants to approve irrigation system easements and connections the final plat. The developer will also need to follow Yakima Tieton Irrigation District Resolution 97-5. Waste Water: Because the City sewer in Tieton Drive is a "Dry Line", sewer extensions need to be connected to either West Chestnut or South 90th Avenue. Yakima Regional Clean Air Authority (YRCAA): According to YRCAA comments: 1. Contractors doing clearing, grading, paving, construction or landscaping work must file a dust control plan with YRCAA. 2. An Asbestos survey is required prior to demolition of buildings. If asbestos containing materials are found, removal must be done by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. Addressing: Information regarding addressing was included in the original staff report. The reconfiguration of lots in the October 22 plat will require reconsideration of address assignments by the Code Administration office. 13. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. On July 18, 2007 a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued by the City of Yakima for this proposal. No appeals were filed within the fifteen -day appeal period. No addendum or other updated environmental review documents have been prepared to address the significance of any probable environmental impacts that might result from the revision of the plat. 14. TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY. Traffic Capacity Analysis was completed on July 30, 2007 and indicates that this development will not exceed the PM peak hour capacity of the City's arterial street system and that reserve capacity exists on all streets impacted by this development. No updated traffic capacity analysis has been performed to address the change in street layout in the October 22, 2007 preliminary plat, but no evidence has been presented to indicate that the changed street design would exhaust tr. ffic capacity on any nearby arterials. Page 7 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 15. PUBLIC NOTICE. Public notice of this application and hearing was provided in accordance with requirements of: Title 14, Subdivision; Title 15, Zoning, Title 6.88, Environmental Title 16, Development Permit Regulations. Notice of Application and Hearing: Legal Notice: Property Posting: June 27, 2007 June 27, 2007 June 26, 2007 Additional notice of the reopening of the open record hearing was provided as follows Notice of Remand and Public Hearing: October 9, 2007 RECEIVED NOV 1 5 2007 CITY OF YAKlitli., PLANNING OW the notice Policy and According to the staff report, publication of the Notice of Remand and Public Hearing was requested by city planning staff to take place on October 8, 2007. No affidavit of publication was included in the staff report. Neither was any affidavit of posting of the property with the Notice of Remand and Public Hearing. However, no evidence nor argument has been presented that notice of post remand decision proceedings was inadequate. 16. JURISDICTION. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction pursuant to YMC 14.20.100 to conduct an open record hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council on this preliminary plat. Following the closed record public hearing, the city council may " remand the matter back to the hearing examiner with appropriate directions[.]" YMC 14.20.110. The notice of remand and public hearing indicated that purpose of the reopened hearing was to take additional testimony on recommended conditions concerning public safety and accessibility related to traffic generated by the proposed development. The October 22 plat was developed to respond to expressed concerns about public safety and accessibility. 17. REVIEW STANDARDS. The hearing examiner is to determine whether or not the following standards are satisfied: 1. The proposed subdivision must be consistent with the provisions of the urban area zoning ordinance; 2. The proposed subdivision must be consistent with the city of Yakima's comprehensive plan; 3. The proposed subdivision must be consistent with the provisions of the subdivision ordinance. 4. As required by Chapter 58.17 RCW, the proposed subdivision must make appropriate provisions for: a. Public health, safety, and general welfare, b. Open spaces, c. Drainage ways, d. Streets or roads, alleys, and other public ways, Page 8 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 RECE1VEV 1 5 2U? e. Transit stops, CITY OF UMW, , f. Potable water supplies, irrigation and other water suppliers, PLANNING DIV. g. Sanitary waste disposal, h. Parks and recreation, i. Playgrounds, j. Schools and school grounds, k. Sidewalks, 1. Other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school; and 5. Based upon standards 1 through 4 of this section, whether the public use and interest will be served by the approval of this subdivision. 18. CONSISTENCY WITH TIIE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The density of the proposed development, if developed into single family residences, will be consistent the maximum 7 dwelling units per net residential acre applicable to properties within the Low Density Residential future land use classification. The staff report correctly identifies the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element section of the 1997 Comprehensive Plan, including: Goal H3: Preserve and improve existing residential neighborhoods. Objective G9: Encourage quality design while achieving economic growth patterns. Objective L2: Establish a pattern of development that supports a sense of community. Objective H3.1: Stabilize existing, viable neighborhoods. The thrust of much of the public comment on the initial preliminary plat was that the increase in traffic on local access streets from the proposed development would cause a decline in property values and quality of life due to impacts to public safety and to the current level of tranquility in the existing residential areas. If there were compelling evidence of a decline of property values and deterioration of quality of life, then a serious question of inconsistency with the comprehensive plan might be presented by the proposed street layout. The October 22 plat results in traffic generated by 23 of lots entering the intersection of 92nd Avenue and West Chestnut. Public comment at the remand hearing indicated that October 22 plat did not evoke the same public safety and neighborhood character concerns as the initial preliminary plat. The evidence presented regarding the October 22 plat does not indicate that it will have a significant impact to safety or neighborhood character in the West Walnut Avenue / Torrey Pines Lane / South 94th Avenue vicinity. Mr. Oveson provided no comment regarding the October 22 plat. The findings concerning Public Health, Safety and Welfare Impacts set out above support a further finding that the October 22 plat design will not adversely affect neighborhood qualities or property value based on its consistency with applicable development regulations. Page 9 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 e a a.117 a-li a w u.. NOV 1 5 2007 CITY OF YAKie„I , If there is no substantial evidence of the subdivision design's inconsistency wiphq .t`NG DIV. comprehensive plan objectives, and the development is consistent with the future land use designation and other comprehensive plan objectives, it follows that the proposed subdivision is consistent with the plan. The comprehensive plan also includes parks and recreation, utility and transit elements. There is no evidence that the proposed plat presents conflicts with any of these plan elements. Public agencies responsible for implementing the elements of the comprehensive plan did not find the preliminary plat objectionable as reflected in the DST review results. 19. CONSISTENCY WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE. The Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance (UAZO) § 15.03.030 (2) indicates that the (R-1) Single -Family Residential district is intended to: a. Establish and preserve residential neighborhoods for detached single-family dwellings free from other uses except those which are compatible with, and serve the residents of, this district; and b. Locate moderate -density residential development, up to seven dwelling units per net residential acre, in areas served by public water and sewer. The lot dimensions, availability of utilities, and proposed street design are consistent with the R- 1 zoning district. There is no evidence that the lots could not be consistent with applicable zoning requirements. 20. CONSISTENCY WITH THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. In addition to procedural requirements contained in the subdivision ordinance, the preliminary plat must conform to lot and block design standards. The October 22 plat is consistent with those standards. Furthermore, the ordinance requires submission of various design and engineering plans. Timely submission of such plans can be addressed through appropriate conditions on preliminary plat approval. 21. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 58.17 RCW. The consequence of the DST review is the identification of whether the preliminary plat and subdivision makes appropriate provisions for the matters set out in RCW 58.17.110. Public comment serves the same purpose. Based on the analysis of Title 9 and Title 12, public comment and information contained in the application and original preliminary plat included in the staff report, the evidence supports a finding that, so long as the required information identified in DST review is .timely provided, the original preliminary plat made appropriate provision for: public health, safety, and general welfare, drainage, streets, sidewalks and other public ways, potable water supplies, irrigation, and sanitary waste disposal. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this recommendation, the October 22 plat also makes appropriate provision for these matters. The Preliminary Plat of Sierra Vista also identifies that there are both a 30 -foot and a 25 -foot wide public utility and access easement created by Yakima County Short Plats # P-18 and # K - Page 10 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 NOV 1 5 20il7 46. These easements were created by and for the benefit of the above short plats to provide OF YAriIiA PLANNING Ian access and utilities to the existing properties. Since these easements were created for the benefit of the properties to be platted, the establishment of new easements to serve the same properties provides appropriately for the necessary subdivision features, and allows the easements established in the earlier subdivisions to be vacated. Parks and recreation, open spaces, transit and schools are public amenities that are reviewed by DST, but no particular needs were identified by the reviewers in this instance. These amenities are addressed broadly in the comprehensive plan and supporting planning documents developed by the City of Yakima or (particularly with regard to open space) through specific development regulations. So long as the preliminary plat is consistent with the plans and applicable development regulations, the objectives of RCW 58.17.110 for assuring appropriate consideration of these values are met. 22. PUBLIC USE AND INTEREST. Based in the consistency of the October 22 plat with the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, the subdivision ordinance, and RCW 58.17.110, it will serve the public use and interest so long as the final plat and development comply with the following conditions: 1. The developer shall dedicate and develop the street right-of-way necessary for the development of the October 22 plat as set out in that plat and as required upon review by the City of Yakima Engineer. (YMC §§ 12.06.060 A, D.& E) 2. The developer shall install or bond for all streets frontage improvements within the October 22 plat, which include: 1). A five-foot sidewalk with drainage, rolled curb, gutter, residential approaches, streetlights; and 2.) Asphalt paving, as specified by the City of Yakima Engineer, under YMC Ch. 12.05 thru 12.06. 3. Civil engineered design plans for an eight -inch sewer main, as depicted upon the applicant's Utility Layout Plan, dated May 17-2007 and amended as necessary to implement the October 22 plat design shall be submitted and approved by the City of Yakima Engineer and installed or bonded for prior to recording of the fmal plat in accordance with YMC Ch. 12.03. 4. A Stormwater design made in accordance with the Eastern Washington Stormwater Management Manual and City of Yakima Stormwater Guide shall be submitted and approved by the City of Yakima Engineer. 5. Two fire hydrants shall be installed interior to this development at the locations specified by the Life Safety Division of the City of Yakima prior to final plat approval. (YMC § 12.04.010, 020, 030 & 050) 6. All domestic water delivery lines and connections for this development shall be installed to Nob Hill Water Co. standards.

Based on the preceding findings, the Hearing Examiner makes the following CONCLUSIONS: 1. The October 22 plat was developed to respond to expressed concerns about public safety and accessibility, and consideration of the plat is within the scope of the remand decision by the City Council. 2. Subject to conditions identified through Design Services Team review and designed to assure compliance with Title 12 YMC, Title 14 YMC and Title 15 YMC, the October 22 plat of Sierra Vista is consistent with the City of Yakima comprehensive plan, the City of Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, and the City of Yakima Subdivision Ordinance. 3. As required by YMC 16.06.010 and 16.06.020, based on the consideration of foregoing findings pertaining to among other things, (1) the type of land use, (2) the level of development, (3) infrastructure, including public facilities and services needed to serve the development, and (4) the characteristics of the development, the proposed project is consistent with applicable development regulations and the adopted comprehensive plan. 4. The sufficiency of environmental review in accordance with the State Environmental Policy Act is not within the scope of the Hearing Examiner's jurisdiction in reviewing the preliminary plat or in conducting additional fact fmding pursuant to city council's remand decision. However, it is prudent to recommend that the City Council decision on the October 22 plat be rendered only after the SEPA Responsible Official has assured that impacts from the changes to the original preliminary plat reflected in the October 22 plat have been adequately reviewed in accordance with SEPA. 5. Because, as conditioned, the October 22, 2007 preliminary plat of Sierra Vista makes appropriate provision for public health, safety, and general welfare, open spaces, drainage, streets, sidewalks, parks and recreation, potable and irrigation water supply and waste disposal, or is consistent with city plans for providing such services or amenities, the preliminary plat will serve the public use and interest and should be recommended for approval.

Amended Hearing Examiner's Recommendation INTRODUCTION. SBJ Joint Venture LLC has applied to subdivide vacant properties near West Walnut and South 93rd Avenue into 30 lots. City planning staff provided a staff report on the application to the Hearing Examiner on August 2, 2007. The staff report included copies of the preliminary plat application, vicinity and land use maps, copies of the preliminary plat, environmental review documents, city Design Services Team comments, outside agency comments, and copies of hearing notice documentation as well as comment letters and petitions from neighboring land owners regarding the environmental review documents and the underlying application. The Hearing Examiner visited the subject property on August 8, 2007 and conducted an open record hearing on August 9, 2007. At the hearing, the staff report was presented by Jeff Peters of the city planning staff. The applicant was represented by Eric Herzog of Huibregtse, Louman Associates, Inc., a Yakima -based engineering firm. City Supervising Traffic Engineer Joan Davenport provided comment regarding arterial traffic impacts from the proposal. Public comment was provided at the hearing by Linda Kusske and Pat Oveson, both residential landowners with properties nearby the subject property. After the hearing, the Hearing Examiner recommended the approval of the preliminary plat subject to certain conditions. At the closed record hearing conducted by the City Council on the preliminary plat, it voted to remand the recommendation to the Hearing Examiner to reopen the public hearing for the purpose of taking additional testimony on recommended conditions concerning public safety and accessibility related to traffic generated by the proposed development. Subsequently, by a letter dated October 23, 2007, the City of Yakima invited interested parties to a public meeting in the city council chambers on October 26, 2007. The purpose of the meeting was to allow the developer to present a revised preliminary long plat that provided for an alternate street layout and point of access to the subdivision. The Hearing Examiner conducted an open record hearing on the preliminary plat on October 31, 2007 in accordance with the Notice of Remand issued by the city. At the hearing, Assistant Planner Jeff Peters presented a report on the October 26 public meeting, expressing his opinion that the attendees at that meeting appeared to support the changes to the project. Bill Frodsham, DOC. INDEX # :.+ rot. NOV 1 r 200 9lYOF'YAtKp identified at the remand hearing by Jeff Peters as the developer and indicated as the ar G : aita8�lt owner of the subject property according to assessor's parcel mapping website, then presented and requested consideration of the revised Preliminary Plat of Sierra Vista. The revised plat provides for access to the interior lots in the proposed subdivision from West Chestnut Avenue rather then the previously proposed access by way of West Walnut Avenue. The western tier of proposed lots would be accessible exclusively from South 93rd Avenue. A Yakima Fire Department Representative expressed a preference from a fire safety perspective for the revised street plan, albeit with reservations about emergency vehicle access to a proposed flag lot within the revised plat. Several neighbors provided oral comments in support of the revised plat. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION. The Hearing Examiner, on remand of the Hearing Examiner Recommendation in this matter issued August 23, 2007, recommends approval, subject to conditions, of the preliminary Plat of Sierra Vista, dated October 22, 2007, which was presented at the October 31, 2007 hearing. Based on the staff report and exhibits, the viewing of the site, comments received at the open record hearings, and a review of the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, Development Standards Ordinance, Traffic Ordinance and the official recording of the Closed Record Hearing on this matter, the Hearing Examiner makes the following FINDINGS. 1. APPLICANT. SBJ Joint Venture, 1113 Fruitvale Blvd, Suite 3, Yakima, WA, 98902. 2. OWNER. Bill Frodsham. 3. LOCATION. This property is located in the vicinity of South 93rd Avenue and West Walnut Avenue. 4. PARCEL NO(S). The affected parcel numbers are 18131933538, 18131934405, 18131934404 and 18131934405. The legal description of the subject property is set forth on the face of the Preliminary Plat of Sierra Vista dated October 22, 2007. 5. APPLICATION. Preliminary Long Plat to create thirty, Single -Family Residential lots, located on approximately 9.55 acres, coupled with an environmental review. 6. CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS. The Subject property comprises four contiguous existing parcels created from earlier subdivisions that also established a right of way, access easements and utility easements affecting the property. The property slopes gently downward to the southeast. A 30 -ft dedicated right of way extends to the northernmost existing parcels from West Chestnut Avenue. The Page 2of16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC. INDEX # � -- is RECEIVED NOV 1 5 2007 existing road in the right of way is gravel. An easement which is situated along the wear/ liWYAKRI, of the existing dedicated right of way was also established through an earlier subdivisi iA ' 3. G easement was established to serve at least one of the parcels comprised by the subject property. The gravel road also extends through the subject properties southward to Tieton Drive, but the underlying right of way does not. The property is bounded on the northern portion of its western boundary by an existing paved segment of South 93rd Avenue. The segment of South 93rd Avenue intersects with Torrey Pines Lane on its north end and Walnut Avenue on its south end. Both Torrey Pines Lane and Walnut Avenue extend to the west and inter ect there with South 94th Avenue. South 94th Avenue extends north from its intersection -19 ,11 West Walnut Street through its intersection with Torrey Pines Lane to West Chestnut and further north, eventually intersecting with Summitvie h Avenue. West Walnut Street extends west through a jog at its intersection with South 94 Avenue to South 96th Avenue. An irrigation canal bounds the property on its southeast corner. Based on this system of streets, the property can be approached from two points off of South 96th Avenue by way of West Chestnut and West Walnut. No evidence has been presented indicating a clear legal right to an easement to Tieton Drive that would allow development of a road to serve the proposed subdivision that meets city street design standards. The nearest arterials to the subject property are South 96th Avenue and Tieton Drive. Other arterials in the area include Summitview Avenue and South 88th Avenue. The peak hour traffic reserve capacity of the arterial segments closest to the project is set forth in the staff report. Electrical and telecommunications services, natural gas, and public water and sewer services are available in the vicinity, although the existing sewer main in Tieton Drive has not yet been connected to the public sewer collector system. The property is within the Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District service area but is not presently served with irrigation water. 7. CURRENT ZONING AND USE. The current zoning of the subject property is (R-1) Single -Family -Residential. It is currently vacant. The surrounding properties in all four directions are zoned R-1 and are used for single family homes. 8. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The 1997 Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (p.111-3) designates the subject property as suitable for Low Density Residential development. 9. PROJECT DESCRIPTION. The property owner proposes to subdivide approximately 9.55 acres of property into 30 new single-family lots that range in size from approximately 7,514 to 15,553 square feet. The preliminary plat as presented at the October 31, 2007 open record hearing is included with this Pale 3 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 {NDE; NO V 1 5 200 CITY OF YAKIM \ recommendation as Exhibit 1, It is identified as "Plat of Sierra Vista" and is dated Octo' Q Nr 2007. The revised preliminary plat is hereafter generally referred to as the October 22 plat. Seven of the proposed lots would front exclusively on an existing segment of South 93rd Avenue, which would be fully developed to meet city street design standards. The remaining 23 lots would be served by the extension southward of South 992m Avenue from West Chestnut Avenue. All streets, curbs, sidewalks and lighting would comply with applicable street design standards. These facilities are proposed to be included in a dedicated right of way. No separate irrigation system has been proposed. Specific provisions for parks and open space, public schools are not included in the application materials. According to the SEPA checklist included with the original application, drainage would be managed through onsite infiltration. All lots will have access, be provided with public utilities, exceed 7,000 square feet and provide a minimum lot width of 50 -feet as measured at the rear of the required front yard setback. Lot 13 is a flag -shaped lot with a 20 -foot wide access frontage on South 931d Avenue, but is otherwise 60 -feet wide at its narrowest point. 10. PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE IMPACTS. Traffic. Both written public comments and oral comments provided at the public hearing on the first version of the plat identified concerns on the part of neighboring residents about increased traffic on local access streets as a result of the development. On that basis, numerous neighbors to the subject property called for a second access street to serve the subdivision by direct connection to West Chestnut Avenue. At the hearing on remand, public commenters all expressed support for the October 22 plat. The greatest concentration of traffic impacts from the project would be at the intersection of West Chestnut and South 92rd Avenues, based on the street grid in the area. At the hearing on the initial preliminary plat, Pat Oveson called for access by direct connection to Tieton Drive rather than West Chestnut Avenue in order to avoid traffic impacts to West Chestnut, which is not an arterial street. However, no evidence has been presented to establish the existence of any sufficient legal right to access to Tieton Drive that is appurtenant to the subject property. Based on comments from Mr. Oveson, there may potentially be a 30 foot access easement from the vicinity of the intersection of the irrigation canal and Tieton Drive on the south part of the subject property, but the installation of an access street meeting Title 12 standards would require acquisition of more property. In addition, while the record contains the neighbors' expressions of concern regarding traffic impacts to local access streets, the reopening of the hearing did not produce new comment or technical information pertaining to earlier assessments by city staff or the SEPA responsible official of the significance of public safety impacts from the residential development of the properties. Those assessments did not indicate undue effects on traffic safety and neighborhood values from the proposed subdivision. They provided part of the basis for the original recommendation for preliminary plat approval to the City Council. Page 4 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC. INDEX NOV 1 5 2007 G1TY OF YAKIMA PLANNING ON It remains the case, notwithstanding the additional statements provided at the reopened hearing, that an increase in traffic on local streets will result from additional home construction along those streets. The city has in place a set of ordinances designed to assure that safety and the character of residential neighborhoods are not compromised by new development. Title 9 YMC, the city Traffic Code, has been enacted in the exercise of the police power of the city of Yakima to protect and preserve the public peace, health, safety and economic welfare. YMC 9.05.020. Title 9 provides for speed regulation and enforcement of rules of the road. It establishes that the City Traffic Engineer is responsible for implementing measures to provide for traffic and pedestrian safety, including the identification of hazardous traffic conditions. It establishes speed limits for all city streets. In addition, Section 12.07.010 YMC provides: In order to provide sufficient information to assess a development impact on the transportation system and level of traffic service, the city engineer may require a traffic study to be completed at the developer's expense. This decision will be based upon the size of the development proposal, existing roadway condition, traffic volumes, accident history, expressed community concern, and other factors relating to transportation. The Supervising Traffic Engineer provided comments on the subdivision that called for Transportation Concurrency Analysis, but did not require a traffic study, even in the face of expressed community concern at the initial open record hearing. Furthermore, the Hearing Examiner and city council may, upon recommendation from the city engineer, require street design standards above and beyond the minimum standards in Chapter 12.06 YMC if deemed appropriate to ensure a safe and efficient street system. The city engineer made no recommendation for changes to the proposed street design. No evidence has been presented that street design of the subdivision and traffic controls and regulations will be insufficient to achieve the purposes of Title 9 YMC, Title 12 YMC or the Subdivision Ordinance. Accordingly, the record does not support a condition requiring access to Tieton Drive rather than to West Chestnut Avenue. Emergency Vehicle Access. International Fire Code § D107.1 requires two fire fighting apparatus access roads for a development comprising more than 30 lots. A single access is acceptable under the code for 30 lots or fewer. The fire department representative at the remand hearing expressed a preference for the proposed revision presented by the subject property owner based on more direct access to the 23 interior lots off of West Chestnut. If access is sufficient for fire fighting apparatus access, it is likely that it is sufficient for other emergency vehicle access. At the same time, the fire department representative expressed concern about Lot 13 as proposed, because the 20 -foot wide frontage represents a potential bottleneck for emergency vehicle access to a residence on the property if the driveway is used for parking. However, this same concern would be presented by any lot configuration that included a 20 foot public street frontage, which is specifically permitted in YMC 14.25.040.B. Page 5 of 16 Plat of Siena Vista Pre Plat #2-07 C)0(:;., INDEX 2907 Transportation grid maintenance. The city traffic division commented that it is generally'"i desirable to promote the integration of new subdivision interior street systems into the street grid design in the interest of connectivity. The October 22 plat street layout does not improve transportation grid connectivity. The comments did not indicate how additional connectivity could be achieved given the land ownership pattern surrounding the subject property, nor did they recommend higher street design standards to promote efficiency of the transportation system. On the other hand, "Residential streets shall be planned to discourage their use by nonlocal traffic." YMC 12.06.060.B. These considerations do not compel any condition to change the street design for the October 22 plat. Sufficiency of Access. The October 22 plat contemplates the effective merger of the existing 20 - foot access easement with the existing 30 -foot right of way to provide the dedicated street connection for 23 of the proposed lots to West Chestnut Avenue. The merger would result in a 50 -foot wide strip of property that could be developed into a street that complies with local access street design standards. For this approach to provide sufficient access to the property, the developer should be obliged as a condition of final plat approval to provide proof of a legal right to dedicate the entirety of the 50 -foot strip for the installation and maintenance of a standard public street with all improvements. 11. PARKS AND RECREATION, PLAYGROUND, TRANSIT AND SCHOOL IMPACTS. The preliminary plat was provided to the Parks and Recreation and Transit Divisions within the city public works department. The plat was also provided to the West Valley School District superintendent. None of those agencies identified significant impacts or service issues presented by the proposed subdivision. In addition, the SEPA Responsible Official did not identify any significant impacts to parks and recreation, transportation system or school system -related elements of the built environment. 12. DEVELOPMENT. SERVICES TEAM (DST) REVIEW. The DST reviewed the proposal on June 13, 2007. Comments from the DST members are included in the staff report. Additional information required for final plat approval that was identified by DST members is set forth below. Engineering Division: Street lighting, sewer and storm drainage will need to be addressed per City of Yakima standards. A Stormwater design made in accordance with the Eastern Washington Stormwater Management Manual and the City of Yakima Stormwater Guide must be included with the improvement design plans and specifications. The Stormwater runoff calculations supporting the design must be submitted to the City Engineer's office with the design plans for review. Street names are required. Addresses are to be assigned in accordance with Public Works direction, which is contained in the staff report. Life Safety Division: The Life Safety Division commented that two hydrants will be installed interior to this development. It noted that one hydrant must be place d at the intersection of Page 6 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC. INDEX ## Y 7/.1_ N O i► 1 5 20n7 South 92nd Avenue and West Walnut, and the other at the intersection of South 92nd Aven eian:' ING Bell Avenue. Approval of the preliminary plat should be conditioned on an updated analysis of plat to assure appropriate placement of hydrants in light of the October 22 preliminary plat. Nob Hill Water Association: Nob Hill Water Association (NHWA) currently has water lines on Torrey Pines Lane and West Walnut. In its review of the initial preliminary plat, NHWA commented that an easement along the north edge of the plat is necessary to loop these lines together. Approval of the October 22 plat should be conditioned on the establishment of easements within the plat to allow looping in accordance with NHWA standards. Irrigation: Because the parcels are in the Yakima Tieton Irrigation District, the district wants to approve irrigation system easements and connections the final plat. The developer will also need to follow Yakima Tieton Irrigation District Resolution 97-5. Waste Water: Because the City sewer in Tieton Drive is a "Dry Line", sewer extensions need to be connected to either West Chestnut or South 90th Avenue. Yakima Regional Clean Air Authority (YRCAA): According to YRCAA comments: 1. Contractors doing clearing, grading, paving, construction or landscaping work must file a dust control plan with YRCAA. 2. An Asbestos survey is required prior to demolition of buildings. If asbestos containing materials are found, removal must be done by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. Addressing: Information regarding addressing was included in the original staff report. The reconfiguration of lots in the October 22 plat will require reconsideration of address assignments by the Code Administration office. 13. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW, On July 18, 2007 a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued by the City of Yakima for this proposal. No appeals were filed within the fifteen -day appeal period. No addendum or other updated environmental review documents have been prepared to address the significance of any probable environmental impacts that might result from the revision of the plat. 14. TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY. Traffic Capacity Analysis was completed on July 30, 2007 and indicates that this development will not exceed the IPM peak hour capacity of the City's arterial street system and that reserve capacity exists on all streets impacted by this development. No updated traffic capacity analysis has been performed to address the change in street layout in the October 22, 2007 preliminary plat, but no evidence has been presented to indicate that the changed street design would exhaust traffic capacity on any nearby arterials.

CITY Of YAK M '-_ PLANNING DIV Public notice of this application and hearing was provided in accordance with the notice requirements of: Title 14, Subdivision; Title 15, Zoning, Title 6.88, Environmental Policy and Title 16, Development Permit Regulations. Notice of Application and Hearing: June 27, 2007 Legal Notice: June 27, 2007 Property Posting: June 26, 2007 Additional notice of the reopening of the open record hearing was provided as follows Notice of Remand and Public Hearing: October 9, 2007 According to the staff report, publication of the Notice of Remand and Public Hearing was requested by city planning staff to take place on October 8, 2007. No affidavit of publication was included in the staff report. Neither was any affidavit of posting of the property with the Notice of Remand and Public Hearing. However, no evidence nor argument has been presented that notice of post remand decision proceedings was inadequate. 16. JURISDICTION. The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction pursuant to YMC 14.20.100 to conduct an open record hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council on this preliminary plat. Following the closed record public hearing, the city council may " remand the matter back to the hearing examiner with appropriate directions[.]" YMC 14.20.110. The notice of remand and public hearing indicated that purpose of the reopened hearing was to take additional testimony on recommended conditions concerning public safety and accessibility related to traffic generated by the proposed development. The October 22 plat was developed to respond to expressed concerns about public safety and accessibility. 17. REVIEW STANDARDS. The hearing examiner is to determine whether or not the following standards are satisfied: 1. The proposed subdivision must be consistent with the provisions of the urban area zoning ordinance; 2. The proposed subdivision must be consistent with the city of Yakima's comprehensive plan; 3. The proposed subdivision must be consistent with the provisions of the subdivision ordinance. 4. As required by Chapter 58.17 RCW, the proposed subdivision must make appropriate provisions for: a. Public health, safety, and general welfare, b. Open spaces, c. Drainage ways, d. Streets or roads, alleys, and other public ways, Page 8 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC. INDEX RECEIVED NOV 1 5 200? e. Transit stops, CITY OF YAK t . f. Potable water supplies, irrigation and other water suppliers, PLANNING DEV. g. Sanitary waste disposal, h. Parks and recreation, i. Playgrounds, j. Schools and school grounds, k. Sidewalks, 1. Other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school; and 5. Based upon standards 1 through 4 of this section, whether the public use and interest will be served by the approval of this subdivision. 18. CONSISTENCY WITH HIE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The density of the proposed development, If developed into single family residences, will be consistent the maximum 7 dwelling units per net residential acre applicable to properties within the Low Density Residential future land use classification. The staff report correctly identifies the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element section of the 1997 Comprehensive Plan, including: Goal H3: Preserve and improve existing residential neighborhoods. Objective G9: Encourage quality design while achieving economic growth patterns. Objective L2: Establish a pattern of development that supports a sense of community. Objective H3.1: Stabilize existing, viable neighborhoods. The thrust of much of the public comment on the initial preliminary plat was that the increase in traffic on local access streets from the proposed development would cause a decline in property values and quality of life due to impacts to public safety and to the current level of tranquility in the existing residential areas. If there were compelling evidence of a decline of property values and deterioration of quality of life, then a serious question of inconsistency with the comprehensive plan might be presented by the proposed street layout. The October 22 plat results in traffic generated by 23 of lots entering the intersection of 92nd Avenue and West Chestnut. Public comment at the remand hearing indicated that October 22 plat did not evoke the same public safety and neighborhood character concerns as the initial preliminary plat. The evidence presented regarding the October 22 plat does not indicate that it will have a significant impact to safety or neighborhood character in the West Walnut Avenue / Torrey Pines Lane / South 94th Avenue vicinity. Mr. Oveson provided no comment regarding the October 22 plat. The findings concerning Public Health, Safety and Welfare Impacts set out above support 'a further finding that the October 22 plat design will not adversely affect neighborhood qualities or property value based on its consistency with applicable development regulations. Page 9 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC, INDEX NOV 1 5 2007 CITY OF YAKKItin If there is no substantial evidence of the subdivision design's inconsistency wilthANG DN. comprehensive plan objectives, and the development is consistent with the future land use designation and other comprehensive plan objectives, it follows that the proposed subdivision is consistent with the plan, The comprehensive plan also includes parks and recreation, utility and transit elements. There is no evidence that the proposed plat presents conflicts with any of these plan elements. Public agencies responsible for implementing the elements of the comprehensive plan did not fmd the preliminary plat objectionable as reflected in the DST review results. 19. CONSISTENCY WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE. The Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance (UAZO) § 15.03.030 (2) indicates that the (R-1) Single -Family Residential district is intended to: a. Establish and preserve residential neighborhoods for detached single-family dwellings free from other uses except those which are compatible with, and serve the residents of, this district; and b. Locate moderate -density residential development, up to seven dwelling units per net residential acre, in areas served by public water and sewer. The lot dimensions, availability of utilities, and proposed street design are consistent with the R- 1 zoning district. There is no evidence that the lots could not be consistent with applicable zoning requirements. 20. CONSISTENCY WITH THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. In addition to procedural requirements contained in the subdivision ordinance, the preliminary plat must conform to lot and block design standards. The October 22 plat is- consistent with those standards. Furthermore, the ordinance requires submission of various design and engineering plans. Timely submission of such plans can be addressed through appropriate conditions on preliminary plat approval. 21. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 58.17 RCW. The consequence of the DST review is the identification of whether the preliminary plat and subdivision makes appropriate provisions for the matters set out in RCW 58.17.110. Public comment serves the same purpose. Based on the analysis of Title 9 and Title 12, public comment and information contained in the application and original preliminary plat included in the staff report, the evidence supports a finding that, so long as the required information identified in DST review is .timely provided, the original preliminary plat made appropriate provision for: public health, safety, and general welfare, drainage, streets, sidewalks and other public ways, potable water supplies, irrigation, and sanitary waste disposal. Subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this recommendation, the October 22 plat also makes appropriate provision for these matters. The Preliminary Plat of Sierra Vista also identifies that there are both a 30 -foot and a 25 -foot wide public utility and access easement created by Yakima County Short Plats # P-18 and # K - Page 10 of 16 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC. INDEX i 8 Vase U xv sm xa NOV 1 5 200 CITY OF YAK MA 46. These easements were created by and for the benefit of the above short plats to provide PLANNING DIV access and utilities to the existing properties. Since these easements were created for the benefit of the properties to be platted, the establishment of new easements to serve the same properties provides appropriately for the necessary subdivision features, and allows the easements established in the earlier subdivisions to be vacated. Parks and recreation, open spaces, transit and schools are public amenities that are reviewed by DST, but no particular needs were identified by the reviewers in this instance. These amenities are addressed broadly in the comprehensive plan and supporting planning documents developed by the City of Yakima or (particularly with regard to open space) through specific development regulations. So long as the preliminary plat is consistent with the plans and applicable development regulations, the objectives of RCW 58.17.110 for assuring appropriate consideration of these values are met. 22. PUBLIC USE AND INTEREST. Based in the consistency of the October 22 plat with the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, the subdivision ordinance, and RCW 58.17.110, it will serve the public use and interest so long as the final plat and development comply with the following conditions: 1.

Based on the preceding findings, the Hearing Examiner makes the following CONCLUSIONS: 1. The October 22 plat was developed to respond to expressed concerns about public safety and accessibility, and consideration of the plat is within the scope of the remand decision by the City Council. 2. Subject to conditions identified through Design Services Team review and designed to assure comphance with Title 12 YMC, Title 14 MC and Title 15 YMC, the October 22 plat of Sierra Vista is consistent with the City of Yakima comprehensive plan, the City of Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, and the City of Yakima Subdivision Ordinance. 3. As required by YMC 16.06.010 and 16.06.020, based on the consideration of foregoing findings pertaining to among other things, (1) the type of land use, (2) the level of development, (3) infrastructure, including public facilities and services needed to serve the development, and (4) the characteristics of the development, the proposed project is consistent with applicable development regulations and the adopted comprehensive plan. 4. The sufficiency of environmental review in accordance with the State Environmental Policy Act is not within the scope of the Hearing Examiner's jurisdiction in reviewing the preliminary plat or in conducting additional factCnding pursuant to city council's remand decision. However, it is prudent to recommend that the City Council decision on the October 22 plat be rendered only after the SEPA Responsible Official has assured that impacts from the changes to the original preliminary plat reflected in the October 22 plat have been adequately reviewed in accordance with SEPA. 5. Because, as conditioned, the October 22, 2007 preliminary plat of Sierra Vista makes appropriate provision for public health, safety, and general welfare, open spaces, drainage, streets, sidewalks, parks and recreation, potable and irrigation water supply and waste disposal, or is consistent with city plans for providing such services or amenities, the preliminary plat will serve the public use and interest and should be recommended for approval.

The Community and Economic Development Division notes the concerns in your letter dated August 30, 2007, and will include your letter and attachments as part of the public record for the Closed Record Public Hearing scheduled before the Yakima City Council on October 2, 2007. As stated above, the next opportunity for you and the neighbors who signed the petition to speak out regarding the Hearing Examiner's treatment of your concerns will be October, 2, 2007, at 6:00 p.m., in the Yakima City Council Chambers. It is important to note that the Hearing Examiner's recommendation is not the final step in this land use process. In regard to Preliminary Long Plats the Hearing Examiner makes a recommendation to the City Council who then makes a final determination only after having held a public hearing and considering testimony from all interested and concerned parties.

This development of thirty lots near our home will have only one access point for all thirty homes. The City of Yakima Department of Community and Economic Development estimates " 300 car trips per day" at the single access point of 93=d Ave. and Walnut Ave. Several of my neighbors and I objected to the single access point at a hearing conducted August 9, 2007 Because there are about 17 children in this 2 -block area, we asked for another ingress/egress onto either Tieton Drive or West Chestnut Ave. A copy of the Pro Temp Hearing Examiner's findings is enclosed expressing the opinion that a second access point was not necessary A copy of 43 petitions, presented prior to the hearing, objecting to the single ingress/egress is also enclosed. If you were to come to this location and see this access point and follow the natural flow of most of the "300 car trips per day" on Walnut Ave. from 93rd Ave. to 96th Ave. you will see how this will be a dangerous and unacceptable condition. The sharp curves at 94th and Walnut combined with heavy parking on the 9400 block of Walnut, which allows for only one lane of traffic, means an increase of "300 car trips per day" on this street acutely increases the danger of vehicle collisions, especially putting children in danger. It appears that SBJ Joint Venture objects to a second point of access due to cost. But I ask what is the cost of a child's life? I ask you and the City Council to please investigate this matter and find for safety over profit by requiring two points of access to this development.

INDEX # City of Yakima, Washington Office of the Hearing Examiner Preliminary Plat Application By SBJ Joint Venture LLC For the 30 -Lot "Plat of Sierra Vista" Located in the Vicinity of South 93rd Avenue & West Walnut Avenue File No. Pre Plat #2-07 Hearing Examiner's Recommendation INTRODUCTION. SBJ Joint Venture TJ,C has applied to subdivide certain vacant properties into 30 lots. City planning staff provided a staff report on the application to the Hearing Examiner on August 2, 2007. The staff report included copies of the preliminary plat application, vicinity and land use maps, copies of the preliminary plat, environmental review documents, city Design Services Team comments, outside agency comments, and copies of hearing notice documentation as well as comment letters and petitions from neighboring land owners regarding the environmental review documents and the underlying application. The Hearing Examiner visited the subject property on August 8, 2007 and conducted an open record hearing on August 9, 2007. At the hearing, the staff report was presented by Jeff Peters of the city planning staff. The applicant was represented by Enc Herzog of Huibregtse, Louman Associates, Inc., a Yakima -based engineering firm. City Traffic Engineer Joan Davenport provided comment regarding arterial traffic impacts from the proposal. Public comment was provided at the hearing by Linda Kausske and Pat Oveson, both residential landowners with properties nearby the subject property. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION. The Hearing Examiner recommends approval of this preliminary long plat subject to conditions. Based on the staff report and exhibits, the viewing of the site and comments received at the open record hearing, and a review of the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and Development Standards Ordinance, the Hearing Examiner makes the following FINDINGS. APPLICANT. SBJ Joint Venture LLC 1113 Fruitvale Blvd, Suite 3 Yakima, WA 98902 North South West East Zoning R-1, Single -Family R-1, Single -Family R-1, Single -Family R-1, Single -Family CO1VIPREHENSIVE PLAN. Land Use Single -Family Homes Single -Family Homes Single -Family Homes Single Family Homes The 1997 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map 111-3 designate the subject property as suitable for Low Density Residential development. PROJECT DESCRIPTION. This application proposes to subdivide approximately 9.55 acres of property into 30 new single- family lots that range in size from approximately 8,399 to 16,145 square feet. The preliminary plat is designated as Exhibit C-2 in the staff report. Five of the proposed lots would front on an existing segment of South 93rd Avenue. The balance of the lots would be served by a system of cul-de-sacs tied to a further eastward extension of West Walnut Avenue. One of the cul-de-sacs would overlay the southern portion of the existing right of way off of West Chestnut, as well as the associated utility easement. The greatest concentration of traffic impacts from the project would be at the intersection of West Walnut and South 93rd Avenues, based on the street grid in the area. The applicant has not requested any administrative adjustments to or variances from development regulations applicable to subdivisions under the Yakima Municipal Code, so all streets (including South 93' Avenue and the extension of Toney Pines Lane), curbs, sidewalks and lighting must comply with applicable street design standards, including right of way dedication. No separate irrigation system has been proposed. Specific provisions for parks and open space, public schools are not included in the application materials. According to the SEPA checklist included with the application, drainage would be managed through on-site infiltration. All lots will have access, be provided with public utilities, exceed 7,000 square feet and provide a minimum lot width of 50 -feet as measured at the rear of the required front yard setback. PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE IMPACTS. Traffic. The development of the lots in the proposed subdivision would generate an estimated 300 average daily traps. As set out in the staff report, the estimated contribution to peak hour traffic on nearby arterial street segments ranges between 30 vehicles on South 96th Avenue to 5 vehicles on 88`h Avenue. An increase in traffic volume will necessarily occur on the local access streets. Because of the infilling nature of the proposed development, no cumulative additional traffic impacts are likely. Page 3 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC. INDEX Life Safety Division: Two hydrants will be installed interior to this development. One hydrant must be place d at the intersection of South 92n1 Avenue and West Walnut, and the other at the intersection of South 92nd Avenue and Bell Avenue. Nob Hill Water Association: Nob Hill Water currently has water lines on Torrey Pines Lane and West Walnut. An easement along the north edge of the plat is necessary to loop these lines together. Irrigation: Because the parcels are in the Yakima Tieton Irrigation District, the district wants to approve irrigation system easements and connections the final plat. The developer will also need to follow Yakima Tieton Irrigation District Resolution 97-5. Waste Water: Because the City sewer in Tieton Drive is a "Dry Line", sewer extensions need to be connected to either West Chestnut or South 90th Avenue. Yakima Regional Clean Air Authority (YRCAA): 1. Contractors doing clearing, grading, paving, construction or landscaping work must file a dust control plan with YRCAA. 2. An Asbestos survey is required prior to demolition of buildings. If asbestos containing matenals are found, removal must be done by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. On July 18, 2007 a Determination of Nonsigmficance (DNS) was issued by the City of Yakima for this proposal. No appeals were filed within the fifteen -day appeal penod. TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY. Traffic Capacity Analysis was completed on July 30, 2007 and indicates that this development will not exceed the PM peak hour capacity of the City's arterial street system and that reserve capacity exists on all streets impacted by this development. PUBLIC NOTICE. Public notice of this application and hearing was provided in accordance with the notice requirements of: Title 14, Subdivision; Title 15, Zoning, Title 6.88, Environmental Policy and Title 16, Development Permit Regulations. Notice of Application and Hearing: Legal Notice: Page 5 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 June 27, 2007 June 27, 2007 T-3 Objective L2: Establish a pattern of development that supports a sense of community. Objective H3.1: Stabilize existing, viable neighborhoods. The thrust of much of the public comment is that increase in traffic on local access streets from the proposed development would cause a decline in property values and quality of life due to impacts to public safety and to the current level of tranquility in the existing residential areas. In addition, the neighbors argue that the subdivision would be better designed if there were two points of access to reduce traffic pressure on the existing local access streets. If there were compelling evidence of a decline of property values and deterioration of quality of life, then a serious question of inconsistency with the comprehensive plan might be presented by the proposed street layout. However, the neighbors' bare statements of concern and anecdotes regarding irresponsible drivers in the area do not compel a finding that appreciable property value loss would occur or that quality of life would be substantially affect. The proposed development is not appreciably different from the existing development in the area, and in other developing neighborhoods in Yakima's west side. Also as noted, the SEPA Responsible Official did not find in the course of environmental review that significant impacts to the built environment would result from the subdivision. In absence of substantial evidence to the contrary, there appears to be no basis for finding the neighborhood preservation goals or public safety would be substantially undercut by the subdivision design. With respect to a second access point, the development of a street that complied with Title 12 street design requirements would require the acquisition of additional property. The current right of way off of West Chestnut is claimed by the developer to be only 30 feet wide. Public comment included claims that the right of way is 45 feet wide. Short Plat 7550877 appears to confirm that the public right of way is 30 feet in width. Either way, Title 12 would require a fifty foot right of way for a residential access street. Thus only a substandard street could be installed without acquisition of additional right of way from other property owners. There is potentially a 30 foot access easement from the vicinity of the intersection of the irrigation canal and Tieton Drive on the south part of the subject property, but again, the installation of an access street meeting Title 12 standards would require acquisition of more property. Requiring acquisition of additional property interests in absence of a specific regulatory requirement for two access points would raise questions about the consistency of such a demand with the "achieving economic growth patterns" objective in the comprehensive plan. In absence of evidence that a second access point is necessary to avoid a substantial decline to the existing neighborhood or threat to public safety or welfare, there appears to be no basis for mandating a second point of access. If there is no substantial evidence of the subdivision design's inconsistency with the comprehensive plan objectives, and the development is consistent with the future land use designation and other comprehensive plan objectives, it follows that the proposed subdivision passes the test of. The comprehensive plan also includes parks and recreation, utility and transit elements, the latter which includes transit issues. There is not evidence that the proposed plat presents conflicts with any of these plan elements. Public agencies responsible for implementing the elements of the comprehensive plan did not find the preliminary plat objectionable as reflected in the DST review results. Page 7 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC INDEX broadly in the comprehensive plan and supporting planning documents developed by the City of Yakima or (particularly with regard to open space) through specific development regulations. So long as the preliminary plat is consistent with the plans and applicable development regulations, the objectives of RCW 58.17.110 for assuring appropriate consideration of these value are met. PUBLIC USE AND INTEREST.

SBJ Joint Venture LLC has applied to subdivide certain vacant properties into 30 lots. City planning staff provided a staff report on the application to the Hearing Examiner on August 2, 2007. The staff report included copies of the preliminary plat application, vicinity and land use maps, copies of the preliminary plat, environmental review documents, city Design Services Team comments, outside agency comments, and copies of heanng notice documentation as well as comment letters and petitions from neighbonng land owners regarding the environmental review documents and the underlying application. The Hearing Examiner visited the subject property on August 8, 2007 and conducted an open record heanng on August 9, 2007. At the hearing, the staff report was presented by Jeff Peters of the city planning staff. The applicant was represented by Eric Herzog of Huibregtse, Louman Associates, Inc., a Yakima -based engineenng City Traffic Engineer Joan Davenport provided comment regarding arterial traffic impacts from the proposal. Public comment was provided at the hearing by Linda Kausske and Pat Oveson, both residential landowners with properties nearby the subject property. SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION. The Hearing Examiner recommends approval of this preliminary long plat subject to conditions. Based on the staff report and exhibits, the viewing of the site and comments received at the open record hearing, and a review of the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and Development Standards Ordinance, the Hearing Examiner makes the following FINDINGS. APPLICANT. SBJ Joint Venture LLC 1113 Fruitvale Blvd, Suite 3 Yakima, WA 98902 LOCATION. This property is located in the vicinity of South 93rd Avenue and West Walnut Avenue. PARCEL NO(S). 18131933538, 18131934405, 18131934404 & 18131934405. The legal description of the subject property is set forth on the face of Exhibit C-1. APPLICATION. Preliminary Long Plat to create thirty, Single -Family Residential lots, located on approximately 9.55 acres, coupled with an environmental review. CURRENT SITE CONDITIONS. The subject property comprises four contiguous existing parcels created from earlier subdivisions that also established a right of way, access easements and utility easements affecting the property. The property slopes gently downward from northwest to southeast. A 30 -ft dedicated right of way extends to the northernmost existing parcels from West Chestnut. The right of way is Currently unpaved. The property is bounded on the northern portion of its western boundary by an existing paved segment of South 93rd Avenue. The segment of South 93rd Avenue intersects with Torrey Pines Lane on its north end and Walnut Avenue on its south end. Both Torrey Pines Lane and Walnut Avenue extend to the west and intersect there with South 94th Avenue. South 94th Avenue extends north from its intersection with West Walnut Street through its intersection with Torrey Pines Lane to West Chestnut and further north, eventually intersecting with Summitview Avenue. West Walnut Street extends west through a jog at its intersection with South 94th Avenue to South 96th Avenue. Based on this system of streets, the property can be approached from two points off of South 96th Avenue by way of West Chestnut and West Walnut. The nearest arterials to the subject property are South 96th Avenue and Tieton Drive. The peak hour traffic reserve capacity of the arterial segments closest to the project is set forth in the staff report. A utility easement situated along the western line of the existing dedicated right of way was also established through an earlier subdivision. The easement was established to serve the parcels contained in the subject property. An irrigation canal bounds the property on its southeast corner. Electrical and telecommunications services, natural gas, and public water and sewer services are available in the vicinity, although the existing sewer main in Tieton Drive has not yet been connected to the public sewer collector system. The property is within the Yakima-Tieton Irrigation District service area but is not presently served with irrigation water. CURRENT ZONING AND USE. The current zoning of the subject property is (R-1) Single -Family -Residential. The surrounding properties have the following characteristics: Page 2 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC. INDEX Zoning Land Use North R-1, Single -Family Single -Family Homes South R-1, Single -Family Single -Family Homes West R-1, Single -Family Single -Family Homes East R-1, Single -Family Single Family Homes COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The 1997 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map 111-3 designate the subject property as suitable for Low Density Residential development. PROJECT DESCRIPTION. This application proposes to subdivide approximately 9.55 acres of property into 30 new single- family lots that range in size from approximately 8,399 to 16,145 square feet. The preliminary plat is designated as Exhibit C-2 in the staff report. Five of the proposed lots would front on an existing segment of South 93rd Avenue. The balance of the lots would be served by a system of cul-de-sacs tied to a further eastward extension of West Walnut Avenue. One of the cul-de-sacs would overlay the southern portion of the existing right of way off of West Chestnut, as well as the associated utility easement. The greatest concentration of traffic impacts from the project would be at the intersection of West Walnut and South 93rd Avenues, based on the street grid in the area. The applicant has not requested any administrative adjustments to or variances from development regulations ap?licable to subdivisions under the Yakima Municipal Code, so all streets (including South 93' Avenue and the extension of Torrey Pines Lane), curbs, sidewalks and lighting must comply with applicable street design standards, including right of way dedication. No separate irrigation system has been proposed. Specific provisions for parks and open space, public schools are not included in the application materials. According to the SEPA checklist included with the application, drainage would be managed through on-site infiltration. All lots will have access, be provided with public utilities, exceed 7,000 square feet and provide a minimum lot width of 50 -feet as measured at the rear of the required front yard setback. PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE IMPACTS. Traffic. The development of the lots in the proposed subdivision would generate an estimated 300 average daily trips. As set out in the staff report, the estimated contribution to peak hour traffic on nearby arterial street segments ranges between 30 vehicles on South 96th Avenue to 5 vehicles on 88th Avenue. An increase in traffic volume will necessarily occur on the local access streets. Because of the infilling nature of the proposed development, no cumulative additional traffic impacts are likely. Page 3 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 INDEX Both written public comments and oral comments provided at the hearing identified concerns on the part of neighboring residents about increased traffic on local access streets as a result of the development. Other concerns were raised about emergency vehicle access. However, the SEPA Responsible Official did not identify any significant traffic impacts associated with the proposed subdivision. In addition, proposed street design does not appear substantially different from other residential street development in the general vicinity. No evidence has been presented concerning any safety threshold that is exceeded as a result of the additional local access street traffic volume. Emergency Vehicle Access. International Fire Code § D107.1 requires two fire fighting apparatus access roads for a development comprising more than 30 lots. A single access is acceptable under the code for 30 lots or fewer. No evidence has been presented indicating that special circumstances are present that warrant additional fire access to the subject property. If access is sufficient for fire fighting apparatus access, it is likely that it is sufficient for other emergency vehicle access. Transportation grid maintenance. The city traffic division commented that it is generally desirable to promote the integration of new subdivision interior street systems into the street grid design in the interest of connectivity. The comments did not indicate how connectivity in addition to that provided from West Walnut and South 93rd Avenue could be achieved given the land ownership pattern surrounding the subject property. PARKS AND RECREATION, PLAYGROUND, TRANSIT AND SCHOOL IMPACTS. The preliminary plat was provided to the Parks and Recreation and Transit Divisions within the city public works department. The plat was also provided to the West Valley School District superintendent. None of those agencies identified significant impacts or service issues presented by the proposed subdivision. In addition, the SEPA Responsible Official did not identify any significant impacts to parks and recreation, transportation system or school system -related elements of the built environment. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TEAM (DST) REVIEW. The DST reviewed the proposal on June 13, 2007. Comments from the DST members are included in the staff report. Additional information required for final plat approval that was identified by DST members is set forth below. Engineering Division: Street lighting, sewer and stoiiii drainage will need to be addressed per City of Yakima standards. A Stormwater design made in accordance with the Eastern Washington Stoiuiwater Management Manual and the City of Yakima Stoiniwater Guide must be included with the improvement design plans and specifications. The Stoiniwater runoff calculations supporting the design must be submitted to the City Engineer's office with the design plans for review. Street names are required. Addresses are to be assigned in accordance with Public Works direction, which is contained in the staff report. Page 4 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 D. INDEX A_i Life Safety Division: Two hydrants will be installed interior to this development. One hydrant must be place d at the intersection of South 92nd Avenue and West Walnut, and the other at the intersection of South 92nd Avenue and Bell Avenue. Nob Hill Water Association: Nob Hill Water currently has water lines on Torrey Pines Lane and West Walnut. An easement along the north edge of the plat is necessary to loop these lines together. Irrigation: Because the parcels are in the Yakima Tieton Irrigation District, the district wants to approve irrigation system easements and connections the final plat. The developer will also need to follow Yakima Tieton Irrigation District Resolution 97-5. Waste Water: Because the City sewer in Tieton Drive is a "Dry Line", sewer extensions need to be connected to either West Chestnut or South 90th Avenue. Yakima Regional Clean Air Authority (YRCAA): 1. Contractors doing clearing, grading, paving, construction or landscaping work must file a dust control plan with YRCAA. 2. An Asbestos survey is required prior to demolition of buildings. If asbestos containing materials are found, removal must be done by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. On July 18, 2007 a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued by the City of Yakima for this proposal. No appeals were filed within the fifteen -day appeal period. TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY. Traffic Capacity Analysis was completed on July 30, 2007 and indicates that this development will not exceed the PM peak hour capacity of the City's arterial street system and that reserve capacity exists on all streets impacted by this development. PUBLIC NOTICE. Public notice of this application and hearing was provided in accordance with the notice requirements of: Title 14, Subdivision; Title 15, Zoning, Title 6.88, Environmental Policy and Title 16, Development Peuuit Regulations. Notice of Application and Hearing: Legal Notice: Page 5 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 June 27, 2007 June 27, 2007 DOC INDEX _r Property Posting: JURISDICTION. June 26, 2007 The Hearing Examiner has jurisdiction pursuant to YMC § 14.20.100 to conduct an open record hearing and make a recommendation to the City Council on this preliminary plat. REVIEW STANDARDS. The hearing examiner is to determine whether or not the following standards are satisfied: 1. The proposed subdivision must be consistent with the provisions of the urban area zoning ordinance; 2. The proposed subdivision must be consistent with the city of Yakima's comprehensive plan; 3. The proposed subdivision must be consistent with the provisions of the subdivision ordinance. 4. As required by Chapter 58.17 RCW, the proposed subdivision must make appropnate provisions for: a. Public health, safety, and general welfare, b. Open spaces, c. Drainage ways, d. Streets or roads, alleys, and other public ways, e. Transit stops, f. Potable water supplies, irrigation and other water suppliers, g. Sanitary waste disposal, h. Parks and recreation, i. Playgrounds, j. Schools and school grounds, k. Sidewalks, 1. Other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school; and 5. Based upon standards 1 through 4 of this section, whether the public use and interest will be served by the approval of this subdivision. CONSISTENCY WITH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The density of the proposed development, if developed into single family residences, will be consistent the maximum 7 dwelling units per net residential acre applicable to properties within the Low Density Residential future land use classification. The staff report correctly identifies the goals and objectives of the Land Use Element section of the 1997 Comprehensive Plan, including: Goal H3: Preserve and improve existing residential neighborhoods. Objective G9: Encourage quality design while achieving economic growth patterns. Page 6 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DSC_ lN DE. Objective L2: Establish a pattern of development that supports a sense of community Objective H3.1: Stabilize existing, viable neighborhoods. The thrust of much of the public comment is that increase in traffic on local access streets from the proposed development would cause a decline in property values and quality of life due to impacts to public safety and to the current level of tranquility in the existing residential areas. In addition, the neighbors argue that the subdivision would be better designed if there were two points of access to reduce traffic pressure on the existing local access streets. If there were compelling evidence of a decline of property values and deterioration of quality of life, then a serious question of inconsistency with the comprehensive plan might be presented by the proposed street layout. However, the neighbors' bare statements of concern and anecdotes regarding irresponsible drivers in the area do not compel a finding that appreciable property value loss would occur or that quality of life would be substantially affect. The proposed development is not appreciably different from the existing development in the area, and in other developing neighborhoods in Yakima's west side. Also as noted, the SEPA Responsible Official did not find in the course of environmental review that significant impacts to the built environment would result from the subdivision. In absence of substantial evidence to the contrary, there appears to be no basis for finding the neighborhood preservation goals or public safety would be substantially undercut by the subdivision design. With respect to a second access point, the development of a street that complied with Title 12 street design requirements would require the acquisition of additional property. The current nght of way off of West Chestnut is claimed by the developer to be only 30 feet wide. Public comment included claims that the right of way is 45 feet wide. Short Plat 7550877 appears to confinii that the public right of way is 30 feet in width. Either way, Title 12 would require a fifty foot right of way for a residential access street. Thus only a substandard street could be installed without acquisition of additional right of way from other property owners. There is potentially a 30 foot access easement from the vicinity of the intersection of the irrigation canal and Tieton Drive on the south part of the subject property, but again, the installation of an access street meeting Title 12 standards would require acquisition of more property. Requiring acquisition of additional property interests in absence of a specific regulatory requirement for two access points would raise questions about the consistency of such a demand with the "achieving economic growth patterns" objective in the comprehensive plan. In absence of evidence that a second access point is necessary to avoid a substantial decline to the existing neighborhood or threat to public safety or welfare, there appears to be no basis for mandating a second point of access. If there is no substantial evidence of the subdivision design's inconsistency with the comprehensive plan objectives, and the development is consistent with the future land use designation and other comprehensive plan objectives, it follows that the proposed subdivision passes the test of. The comprehensive plan also includes parks and recreation, utility and transit elements, the latter which includes transit issues. There is not evidence that the proposed plat presents conflicts with any of these plan elements. Public agencies responsible for implementing the elements of the comprehensive plan did not find the preliminary plat objectionable as reflected in the DST review results. Page 7 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 INDFY CONSISTENCY WITH THE ZONING ORDINANCE. The Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance (UAZO) § 15.03.030 (2) indicates that the (R-1) Single -Family Residential district is intended to: a. Establish and preserve residential neighborhoods for detached single-family dwellings free from other uses except those which are compatible with, and serve the residents of, this district; and b. Locate moderate -density residential development, up to seven dwelling units per net residential acre, in areas served by public water and sewer. The lot dimensions, availability of utilities, and proposed street design are consistent with the R- 1 zoning district. There is no evidence that the lots could not be consistent with applicable zoning requirements. CONSISTENCY WITH THE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE. In addition to procedural requirements contained in the subdivision ordinance, the preliminary plat must confoiui to lot and block design standards. As submitted, the prehminary plat is consistent with those standards. Further, the ordinance requires submission of various design and engineering plans. Timely submission of such plans can be addressed through appropriate conditions on preliminary plat approval. CONSISTENCY WITH CHAPTER 58.17 RCW. The consequence of the DST review is the identification of whether the preliminary plat and subdivision makes appropriate provisions for the matters set out in RCW 58.17.110. Public comment serves the same purpose. Based on the analysis of public comment and information contained in the application and preliminary plat included in the staff report, particularly considering the results of DST review and identification of additional information requirements, the evidence supports a finding that, so long as the required information is timely provided, the preliminary plat makes appropriate provision for: public health, safety, and general welfare, drainage, streets, sidewalks and other public ways, potable water supplies, imgation, and sanitary waste disposal. The Preliminary Plat of Sierra Vista also identifies that there are both a 30 -foot and a 25 -foot wide public utility and access easement created by Yakima County Short Plats # P-18 and # K- 46. These easements were created by and for the benefit of the above short plats to provide access and utilities to the existing properties. Since these easements were created for the benefit of the properties to be platted, the establishment of new easements to serve the same properties provides appropnately for the necessary subdivision features, and allows the easements established in the earlier subdivisions to be vacated. Parks and recreation, open spaces, transit and schools are public amenities that are reviewed by DST, but no particular needs were identified by reviewers. These amenities are addressed Page 8 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC INDEX broadly in the comprehensive plan and supporting planning documents developed by the City of Yakima or (particularly with regard to open space) through specific development regulations. So long as the preliminary plat is consistent with the plans and applicable development regulations, the objectives of RCW 58.17.110 for assuring appropriate consideration of these value are met.- PUBLIC eta PUBLIC USE AND INTEREST. Based in the consistency of the proposed subdivision with the comprehensive plan, the zoning ordinance, the subdivision ordinance, and RCW 58.17.110, it will serve the public use and interest so long as the final plat and development comply with the following conditions: 1. The developer shall dedicate and develop the street right-of-way for the extensions of Torrey Pines Lane., S. 93rd, S. 92nd and W. Walnut Avenues, and all other rights-of-way necessary for the development of the Preliminary Plat of Sierra Vista in conjunction with the applicant's site plan dated May 17, 2007 and the review/approval of the City of Yakima Engineer. (YMC §§ 12.06.060 A, D & E) 2. The developer shall install or bond for all streets frontage improvements within the Plat of Sierra Vista which include: 1).

SBJ Joint Venture LLC 1113 Fruitvale Blvd, Suite 3 Yakima, WA 98902 LOCATION. This property is located in the vicinity of S. 93rd and W. Walnut. PARCEL NO(S). 18131933538, 18131934405, 18131934404 & 18131934405.. APPLICATION. Preliminary Long Plat to create thirty, Single -Family Residential lots, located on approximately 9.55 acres coupled with an environmental review. PROJECT DESCRIPTION. This application concerns a proposal, to subdivide approximately 9.55 acres of property into 30 new single-family lots that range in size from approximately 8,399 to 16,145 square feet. CURRENT ZONING AND USE. The current zoning of this property as stated above is (R-1) Single -Family -Residential, and the surrounding properties have the following characteristics. North S outh West Zoning R-1, Single -Family R-1, Single -Family R-1, Single -Family 1 Land Use Single -Family Homes Single -Family Homes Single -Family Homes East R-1, Single -Family Single Family Homes HEARING EXAMINER JURISDICTION. Pursuant to Chapter 58.17 RCW and § 14.30.080 YMC, the Hearing Examiner is authorized to make a recommendation to the City Council on preliminary plats. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The 1997 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map 111-3 designate the subject property as suitable for Low Density Residential development. The Low Density Residential designation is characterized as "primarily single family, detached residences" with a "net residential density before considering roads and right of ways is less than 7.0 dwelling units per acre." Goals of the 1997 Comprehensive Plan include: Goal H3: Preserve and improve existing residential neighborhoods. Objective G9: Encourage quality design while achieving economic growth patterns. Objective L2: Establish a pattern of development that supports a sense of community. Objective H3.1: Stabilize existing, viable neighborhoods. URBAN AREA ZONING ORDINANCE. The Yakima Urban Area Zoning Ordinance (UAZO) § 15.03.030 (2) indicates that the (R-1) Single -Family Residential district is intended to: a. Establish and preserve residential neighborhoods for detached single-family dwellings free from other uses except thosewhich are compatible with, and serve the residents of, this district; and b. Locate moderate -density residential development, up to seven dwelling units per net residential acre, in areas served by public water and sewer. DEVELOPMENT SERVICES TEAM (DST) REVIEW. The DST meeting for this proposal was held on June 13, 2007 at which time the following comments were submitted. Engineering Division: The preliminary site plan shows adequate dimensions for street improvements per City of Yakima Title 12 Development Standards with 6' sidewalk both sides and rolled curb. Street lighting, sewer and stoini drainage will need to be addressed per City of Yakima standards. A Stormwater design made in accordance with the Eastern Washington Stogy awater Management Manual and the City of Yakima Stormwater Guide shall be included with the improvement design plans and specifications. The Stouuiwater runoff calculations supporting the design shall be submitted to the City Engineer's office with the design plans for review. 2 DOC. INDEX Life Safety Division: The following comments are based on the infoimation supplied for the June 13, 2007 DST meeting. • Two hydrants will be installed interior to this development. Following discussion with Nob Hill Water Association, it was determined to place one hydrant at the intersection of South 92nd Avenue and West Walnut, and the other at the intersection of South 92nd Avenue and Bell Avenue. Nob Hill Water: Regarding the Plat of Sierra Vista, Nob Hill Water Association is available to serve the property. We currently have water lines on Torrey Pines Lane and West Walnut. We will require an easement along the north edge of the plat to loop these lines together. We also will tie in with Tieton Drive to the south. Irrigation: These parcels are all dry at this time; however they are in the Yakima Tieton Irrigation District so we would like to show "Irrigation Approval" on the face of the Long Plat. The developer will also need to follow our Resolution 97-5. Traffic Engineering: Traffic Capacity Analysis was completed on July 30, 2007 and indicates that this development will not exceed the PM peak hour capacity of the City's arterial street system and that reserve capacity exists on all streets impacted by this development. The applicant, JBS Investments proposed to create 30 new lots for single family homes in the vicinity of South 92nd Avenue and Walnut Avenue, within the City of Yakima, Washington. All traffic from this new development is assumed to enter the Arterial Street System for 96 Avenue to Summitview Avenue and Tieton Drive. City of Yakima Administrative procedures for Concurrency Analysis use the PM Peak hour trip of the adjacent street for the selected land use category. The site -generated traffic is distributed to the Arterial street sections noted below, based upon the City policy to assess impact for two Arterial street segments. Estimated distribution for the Volumes for PM Peak Hour are assessed as 8.7% of total Average Daily Traffic (ADT). Peak hour reserve capacity includes any vehicle trips previously assigned under the Concurrency Ordinance. City of Yakima Transportation Concurrency assesses arterial street segment capacity only and does not address intersection capacity. Seg # Street Segment Total ADT PM PK Hr ADT PK HR ReserveHR Cap.

INDEX -1 Waste Water: The developer needs to be aware that the City sewer in Tieton Drive is a "Dry Line" and therefore, sewer extensions need to be connected to either W. Chestnut or S. 90th Avenue.

Contractors doing clearing, grading, paving, construction or landscaping work must file a dust control plan with YRCAA. 2. An Asbestos survey is required prior to demolition of buildings. If ACM are found, removal must be done by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. 3. Due to the fact that this long plat is within the Yakima Urban Growth Area, removal of vegetation by burning is prohibited. Chipping or transport to landfill is allowed. Washington State Department of Ecology: Based upon the historical agriculture use of this land, there is a possibility the soil contains residual concentrations of pesticides. Ecology recommends that the soils be sampled and analyzed for lead and arsenic and for organochlorine pesticides. If these contaminants are found at concentrations above the MTCA clean up levels Ecology recommends that the potential buyers be notified of their occurrence. SUBDIVISION. This preliminary subdivision indicates that all lots will have access, be provided with all necessary public utilities, exceed the minimum lot size for the (R-1) Single -Family Residential zone of 7,000 square feet and meet or exceed the minimum lot width of 50 -feet as measured at the rear of the required front yard setback. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. On July 18, 2007 a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued by the City of Yakima for this proposal. No appeals were filed within the fifteen -day appeal period. TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY. Traffic Capacity Analysis was completed on July 30, 2007 and indicates that this development will not exceed the PM peak hour capacity of the City's arterial street system and that reserve capacity exists on all streets impacted by this development. PUBLIC NOTICE. Public notice of this application and hearing was provided in accordance with the notice requirements of: Title 14, Subdivision; Title 15, Zoning, Title 6.88, Environmental Policy and Title 16, Development Permit Regulations. Notice of Application and Hearing: Legal Notice: June 27, 2007 June 27, 2007 5 DOC, INDEX Property Posting: June 26, 2007 PUBLIC COMMENTS. During the 20 -day open public comment period for this application three letters and a petition containing forty three signatures was received in opposition to this application. The main objections within the submitted letters and petition is that the proposed development with only one single point of ingress/egress, will generate a large amount of traffic thereby decreasing safety, peace, tranquility and the value of the surrounding homes. Surrounding property owners also feel that the City of Yakima should require at least one other point of ingress/egress to this development from W. Chestnut. In response to the above objections the City of Yakima has noted the above citizens concerns. However, the requirement for a second point of access into this development cannot be supported at this time as Traffic Concurrency indicates that sufficient capacity exists on all impacted streets and the International Fire Code § D107.1 only provides for a second point of access "where the number of dwelling units exceeds 30" in the case of a one or two family residential development. SPECIAL CONDITIONS: VACATION OF ESTABLISHED EASENINTS The proposed Preliminary Plat of Sierra Vista identifies that there is both a 30 -foot and 25 -foot wide public utility and access easement created by Yakima County Short Plats # P-18 and # K- 46. These easements were created by and for the benefit of the above short plats to provide access and utilities to the existing properties. Therefore, due to the fact that these easements were created for the benefit of the properties to be platted, the vacation of the previously mentioned easements by means of re -platting of the subject property will not create a violation of the City of Yakima Subdivision Ordinance or Washington State Subdivision Statues. CONCLUSIONS: 1. This recommendation is based upon the project narrative and site plan received May 17, 2007. 2. The hearing examiner has jurisdiction to render a recommendation to the City Council on this matter. (YMC § 14.20.100) 3. For the reasons stated herein, this preliminary subdivision complies with the objectives of the Urban Area Comprehensive Plan, the intent of the (R-1) Single -Family Residential zoning district, the provisions of the Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, Title 12, Development Standards and Traffic Concurrency Ordinance. (YMC § 14.20.100) 4. During project review it has been found that this request is in compliance with YMC § 16.06.020 (B) for making a Determination of Consistency as follows: A. The proposed uses are permitted within the (R-1) Single -Family Residential zone. (YMC § 15.04 Table 4-1) 6 DOC. INDEX B. All necessary public facilities are or will be available to serve this site.

We have reviewed the environmental checklist and have the following comment. Water Resources If you plan to use water for dust suppression at your site, be sure that you have a legal right. A water right permit is required for all surface water diversions and for any water from a well that will exceed 5,000 gallons per day. (Chapter 90.03 RCW Surface Water Code and Chapter 90.44 RCW Regulation of Public Ground Waters) If in doubt, check with the Department of Ecology, Water Resources Program. Temporary permits may be obtainable in a short time -period. The concern of Water Resources is for existing water rights. In some instances water may need to be obtained from a different area and hauled in or from an existing water right holder. The water purveyor is responsible for ensuring that the proposed use(s) are within the limitations of its water rights. If the proposal's actions are different than the existing water right (source, purpose, the place of use, or period of use), then it is subject to approval from the Department of Ecology pursuant to Sections 90.03.380 RCW and 90.44.100 RCW. If you have any questions concerning the Water Resources comments, please contact Breean Zimmelulan at (509) 454-7647. DOC, INDEX Mr. Peters June 8, 2007 Page 2 of 2 Water Quality Dividing or platting of a piece of property is often the first step in a proposed development. If a subsequent individual or common plan of development exceeds 1 acre of disturbed ground in size an NPDES Construction Stormwater Permit may be required. Ground disturbance includes all utility placements and building or upgrading existing roads. The process requires going through SEPA, developing a stonuwater pollution prevention plan, submitting an application and a 30 day public notice process. This may take 45-60 days. A permit and a stormwater plan are required prior to beginning ground- breaking activities. Please contact Ray Latham (509) 575-2807 with questions about this permit.

This development of thirty lots near our home will have only one access point for all thirty homes. The City of Yakima Department of Community and Economic Development estimates " 300 car trips per day" at the single access point of 93th Ave. and Walnut Ave. Several of my neighbors and I objected to the single access point at a hearing conducted August 9, 2007. Because there are about 17 children in this 2 -block area, we asked for another ingress/egress onto either Tieton Drive or West Chestnut Ave. A copy of the Pro Temp Hearing Examiner's findings is enclosed expressing the opinion that a second access point was not necessary. A copy of 43 petitions, presented prior to the hearing, objecting to the single ingress/egress is also enclosed. If you were to come to this location and see this access point and follow the natural flow of most of the "300 car trips per day" on Walnut Ave. from 93rd Ave. to 96th Ave. you will see how this will be a dangerous and unacceptable condition. The sharp curves at 94th and Walnut combined with heavy parking on the 9400 block of Walnut, which allows for only one lane of traffic, means an increase of "300 car trips per day" on this street acutely increases the danger of vehicle collisions, especially putting children in danger. It appears that SBJ Joint Venture objects to a second point of access due to cost. But I ask what is the cost of a child's life? I ask you and the City Council to please investigate this matter and find for safety over profit by requiring two points of access to this development.

INDEX # City of Yakima, Washington Office of the Hearing Examiner Preliminary Plat Application By SBJ Joint Venture LLC For the 30 -Lot' 'Plat of Sierra Vista" Located in the Vicinity of South 93rd Avenue & West Walnut Avenue File No. Pre Plat #2-07 Hearing Examiner's Recommendation INTRODUCTION. SBJ Joint Venture LLC has applied to subdivide certain vacant properties into 30 lots. City planning staff provided a staff report on the application to the Hearing Examiner on August 2, 2007. The staff report included copies of the preliminary plat application,_ vicinity and land use maps, copies of the preliminary plat, environmental review documents, city Design Services Team comments, outside agency comments, and copies of hearing notice documentation as well as comment letters and petitions from neighboring land owners regarding the environmental review documents and the underlying application. The Hearing Examiner visited the subject property on August 8, 2007 and conducted an open record hearing on August 9, 2007. At the hearing, the staff report was presented by Jeff Peters of the city planning staff. The applicant was represented by Eric Herzog of Huibregtse, Louman Associates, Inc., a Yakima -based engineering firm. City Traffic Engineer Joan Davenport provided comment regarding arterial traffic impacts from the proposal. Public comment was provided at the hearing by Linda Kausske and Pat Oveson, both residential landowners with properties nearby the subject property. - .SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATION. The Hearing Examiner recommends approval of this preliminary long plat subject to conditions. Based on the staff report and exhibits, the viewing of the site and comments received at the open record hearing, and a review of the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance and Development Standards Ordinance, the Hearing Examiner makes the following FINDINGS. APPLICANT. SBJ Joint Venture LLC 1113 Fruitvale Blvd, Suite 3 Yakima, WA 98902 DOC. INDEX � -s North S outh West East Zoning R-1, Single -Family R-1, Single -Family R-1, Single -Family R-1, Single -Family Land Use Single -Family Homes Single -Family Homes Single -Family Homes Single Family Homes COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The 1997 Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map 111-3 designate the subject property as suitable for Low Density Residential development. PROJECT DESCRIPTION. This application proposes to subdivide approximately 9.55 acres of property into 30 new single- family lots that range in size from approximately 8,399 to 16,145 square feet. The preliminary plat is designated as Exhibit C-2 in the staff report. Five of the proposed lots would front on an existing segment of South 93rd Avenue. The balance of the lots would be served by a system of cul-de-sacs tied to a further eastward extension of West Walnut Avenue. One of the cul-de-sacs would overlay the southern portion of the existing right of way off of West Chestnut, as well as the associated utility easement. The greatest concentration of traffic impacts from the project would be at the intersection of West Walnut and South 93rd Avenues, based on the street grid in the area. The applicant has not requested any administrative adjustments to or variances from development regulations applicable to subdivisions under the Yakima Municipal Code, so 211 streets (including South 93r Avenue and the extension of Torrey Pines Lane), curbs, sidewalks and lighting must comply with applicable street design standards, including right of way dedication. No separate irrigation system has been proposed. Specific provisions for parks and open space, public schools are not included in the application materials. According to the SFPA checklist included with the application, drainage would be managed through on-site infiltration. All lots will have access, be provided with public utilities, exceed 7,000 square feet and provide a minimum lot width of 50 -feet as measured at the rear of the required front yard setback. PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE IMPACTS. Traffic. The development of the lots in the proposed subdivision would generate an estimated 300 average daily trips. As set out in the staff report, the estimated contribution to peak hour traffic on nearby arterial street segments ranges between 30 vehicles on South 96th Avenue to 5 vehicles on 88th Avenue. An increase in traffic volume will necessarily occur on the local access streets. Because of the infilling nature of the proposed development, no cumulative additional traffic impacts are likely. Page 3 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC. INDEX # G Life Safety Division: Two hydrants will be installed interior to this development. One hydrant must be place d'at the intersection of South 92nd Avenue and West Walnut, and the other at the intersection of South 92nd Avenue and Bell Avenue. Nob Hill Water Association: Nob Hill Water currently has water lines on Torrey Pines Lane and West Walnut. An easement along the north edge of the plat is necessary to loop these lines together. Irrigation: Because the parcels are in the Yakima Tieton Irrigation District, the district wants to approve irrigation system easements and connections the final plat. The developer will also need to follow Yakima Tieton Irrigation District Resolution 97-5. Waste Water: Because the City sewer in Tieton Drive is a "Dry Line", sewer extensions need to be connected to either West Chestnut or South 9011 Avenue. Yakima Regional Clean Air Authority (YRCAA): 1. Contractors doing clearing, grading, paving, construction or landscaping work must file a dust control plan with YRCAA. 2. An Asbestos survey is required prior to demolition of buildings. If asbestos containing materials are found, removal must be done by a licensed asbestos abatement contractor. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. On July 18, 2007 a Determination of Nonsignificance (DNS) was issued by the City of Yakima for this proposal. No appeals were filed within the fifteen -day appeal period. TRANSPORTATION CONCURRENCY. Traffic Capacity Analysis was. completed on July 30, 2007 and indicates that this development will not exceed the PM peak hour capacity of the City's arterial street system and that reserve capacity exists on all streets impacted by this development. PUBLIC NOTICE. Public notice of this application and hearing was provided in accordance with the notice requirements of: Title 14, Subdivision; Title 15, Zoning, Title 6.88, Environmental Policy and Title 16, Development Permit Regulations. Notice of Application and Hearing: June 27, 2007 Legal Notice: June 27, 2007 Page 5 Plat of Sierra Vista Pre Plat #2-07 DOC. INDEX # (;)_� Objective L2: Establish a pattern of development that supports a sense of community. Objective H3.1: Stabilize existing, viable neighborhoods. The thrust of much of the public comment is that increase in traffic on local access streets from the proposed development would cause a decline in property values and quality of life due to impacts to public safety and to the current level of tranquility in the existing residential areas. In addition, the neighbors argue that the subdivision would be better designed if there were two points of access to reduce traffic pressure on the existing local access streets. If there were compelling evidence of a decline of property values and deterioration of quality of life, then a serious question of inconsistency with the comprehensive plan might be presented by the proposed street layout. However, the neighbors' bare statements of concern and anecdotes regarding irresponsible drivers in the area do not compel a finding that appreciable property value loss would occur or that quality of life would be substantially affect. The proposed development is not appreciably different from the existing development in the area, and in other developing neighborhoods in Yakima's west side. Also as noted, the SEPA Responsible Official did not find in the course of environmental review that significant impacts to the built environment would result from the subdivision. In absence of substantial evidence to the contrary, there appears to be no basis for finding the neighborhood preservation goals or public safety would be substantially undercut by the subdivision design. With respect to a second access point, the development of a street that complied with Title 12 street design requirements would require the acquisition of additional property. The current right of way off of West Chestnut is claimed by the developer to be only 30 feet wide. Public comment included claims that the right of way is 45 feet wide. Short Plat 7550877 appears to confum that the public right of way is 30 feet in width. Tither way, Title 12 would require a fifty foot right of way for a residential access street. Thus only a substandard street could be installed without acquisition of additional right of way from other property owners. There is potentially a 30 foot access easement from the vicinity of the intersection of the irrigation canal and Tieton Drive on the south part of the subject property, but again, the installation of an access street meeting Title 12 standards would require acquisition of more property. Requiring acquisition of additional property interests in absence of a specific regulatory requirement for two access points would raise questions about the consistency of such a demand with the "achieving economic growth patterns" objective in the comprehensive plan. In absence of evidence that a second access point is necessary to avoid a substantial decline to the existing neighborhood or threat to public safety or welfare, there appears to be no basis for mandating a second point of access. If there is no substantial evidence of the subdivision design's inconsistency with the comprehensive plan objectives, and the development is consistent with the future land use designation and other comprehensive plan objectives, it follows that the proposed subdivision passes the test of. The comprehensive plan also includes parks and recreation, utility and transit elements, the latter which includes transit issues. There is not evidence that the proposed plat presents conflicts with any of these plan elements. Public agencies responsible for implementing the elements of the comprehensive plan did not find the preliminary plat objectionable as reflected in the DST review results.

Applicant: SBJ Joint Venture Dear Mr. Maples, RECEIVED JUL 1 7 2007 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV, I am responding to the Notice of Application, Environmental Review & Public Hearing letter I received. Although I am not opposed to the development of this property, I am concerned with the additional traffic that will be a result of the development. As proposed, the preliminary plat currently shows W. Walnut Ave. as the only egress point for this growth. I am questioning whether any consideration has been given to a second egress point located to the north at W. Chestnut and 92nd Ave. The easement is already in place and makes much more sense to me to have a secondary access point at this location. I will be happy to attend the public hearing, scheduled for August 9th to express my views on this matter. Sincerely, Kevin Sagen DOL, INDEX • C —3 Lewis W. Ehlers Patricia E.

Re: File Number: UAZO Preliminary Long Plat # 2-07 and EC #13-07 Location: Vicinity of S 93rd Ave and West Walnut, Yakima WA Dear Sirs: This letter is in response to the enclosed Notice of Application, Environmental Review & Public Hearing notice we received for the sbove-referenced Preliminary Long Plat. Please be advised that we strongly object to the Preliminary Long Plat as it has been proposed. It appears that all ingress/egress for an estimated 300 vehicle trips per day would be via one street only, namely West Walnut. We request two (2) points of ingress/egress be required for the Sierra Hollow addition. The 2nd entrance/exit should be via West Chestnut and the East side of Sierra Hollow which would provide an alternate route for vehicles, walking school children, fire trucks and ambulances, etc. West Chestnut, by design, is a more desirable street for travel than West Walnut. Therefore, splitting the traffic flow by constructing 2 entrances to Sierra Hollow makes good sense. The possiblility of an additional 300 vehicle trips per day winding through our West Walnut Street neighborhood to access Tieton Drive, West Chestnut or Summitview Avenue seems an unfair burden to existing homeowners. A more equitable solution would be to divide the traffic flow between West Chestnut and West Walnut streets. Sincerely,] c)023—cia() eLte,cj Lewis W. Ehlers • Patricia E. Ehlers Enc DOC.

FT. LOCATION: S. 93RD AVE & WEST WALUNUT Beckett 05/07/07 July 2, 2007 Jeff Peters City of Yakima Planning Division 129 N. 2nd Street Yakima, WA 98901 Comment concerning: #UAZO Preliminary Long Plat #2-07 and EC #13-07 There is one major problem with this development which needs to be addressed. In studying the maps send with this document, it seems these plans rely on only one street (West Walnut) to funnel all the traffic in and out of this development. With approximately 300 vehicle trips per day, the traffic from this development will turn West Walnut, West Chestnut, North 94th Avenue and North 94th Place into thoroughfares. West Walnut enters North 96th Avenue very close to the intersection with Tieton Drive. During rush hours, entrance unto North 96th Avenue will be difficult. Vehicles from this development will then start to use North 94th Avenue and North 94th Place as other exits to North 96th Avenue, West Chestnut and Summitview. North 94th Place is not a straight street and homeowners have already experienced vehicles traveling at high speeds not being able to make the curve, running onto yards ruining lawns and landscaping. We purchased lots and built homes on these streets because they were simply residential streets. Now, if this development is approved as submitted you will be turning residential streets into minor arterials. The plan of this development with only one access/egress route and several cul-de-sacs is contrary to good planning principles. Having only access/egress route compromises the safety of the residents of the development. How do emergency vehicles get to their destination if the route is blocked by construction, an accident, etc.? This type of development was discussed at several meetings during the recent update of the comprehensive plan as an example of bad residential development. Yes, it would be more expensive to create another access/egress route but to not do so not only compromises the safety of the residents of the development, it reduces the quality of life for those of us who have to put up with the additional traffic. Shame on you if you allow a development with such a major flaw to be built. Wilma Koski 21 N. 94th Place Yakima, WA 98908 DOL.

All traffic from this new development is assumed to enter the Arterial Street system from 96th Avenue to Summitview Avenue and Tieton Drive. City of Yakima Administrative procedures for Concurrency Analysis use the PM Peak hour trip of the adjacent street for the selected land use category. The site -generated traffic is distributed to the Arterial street sections noted below, based upon the City policy to assess impacts for two Arterial street segments. Estimated distribution of the site -generated trips is shown on the table below. Based upon actual data, City of Yakima Traffic Volumes for PM Peak Hour are assessed as 8.7% of total Average Daily Traffic (ADT). Peak hour reserve capacity includes any vehicle trips previously assigned under the Concurrency Ordinance.
