The Hearing Examiner conducted an open record public hearing on June 12, 2008, and this recommendation is issued within ten business days of that hearing. No written public comments were received during the open comment period for this proposal prior to the public hearing. The following people testified at the public hearing: (1) A thorough staff report was presented by Assistant Planner Christine Wilson which recommended approval of the preliminary plat subject to enumerated conditions, including the conditions imposed by the SEPA Mitigation of Nonsignificance (MDNS) which became final when the appeal period expired on May 30, 2008 without an appeal. (2) The Applicant's representatives, Rick Wehr, PLS, of PLSA Engineering & Surveying and Josh McGibbon, P.E., of Vista Ridge Properties, LLC, both testified that their only disagreement with the Planning Division recommendation was Condition #7 of the MDNS requiring construction of a paved 20- foot -wide Fire Apparatus Access Road along the future 72nd Avenue right -of -way extending south from Coolidge Road to the proposed plat which would require acquisition of an additional five feet of right -of -way width from the landowner, Patrick Hannan.

(3) Patrick Hannan testified that he plans to continue farming, that it will be a matter of years before he will develop his property south of Coolidge Road and that he is not thrilled about the idea of a fire apparatus access road through his property. (4) Ron Melcher, Deputy Fire Marshall for the Yakima Fire Department, and Joe Caruso, Acting Fire Marshall for the City's Code Administration Division, testified that the fire apparatus access road condition was based on the failure to meet response time objectives by using existing streets to reach the subject property. Response time objectives were adopted by City Council Resolution No. R- 2007 -27 on March 6, 2007. (5) Lee Stream, Steve Williams and John Hood, who reside on Easy Street near the proposed preliminary plat, expressed concern about the additional vehicular and pedestrian traffic which the plat would bring to Easy Street where there are no sidewalks. Summary of Recommendation. The Hearing Examiner recommends approval of this preliminary plat subjcct to conditions. Basis for Recommendation. Based on a view of the site with no one else present on June 11, 2008; the staff report, exhibits; testimony and other evidence presented at the open record public hearing on June 12, 2008; the conditions of the SEPA MDNS dated May 15, 2008 which became final on May 30, 2008 after expiration of the 14 -day appeal period; and a consideration of the applicable subdivision requirements, development standards and consistency criteria; the Hearing Examiner makes the following: FINDINGS I.

A paved 20 -foot wide Fire Apparatus Access Road shall be constructed along the future 72nd Avenue right -of -way extending from Coolidge Avenue to the future extension of Easy Street at Vista Ridge Plat. This apparatus access road shall meet all 2006 International Fire Code requirements as stated in the `Findings' section of this decision. L. Fire, Life and Safety: The applicant shall provide a paved Fire Apparatus Access Road extending from the intersection of Coolidge and the future 72nd Avenues south to the Vista Ridge Plat (2006 International Fire Code, Chapter 5; subsection 503.2). The apparatus access road shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 20 feet except for approved security gates in accordance with IFC Section 503.6, and an unobstructed vertical clearance of not less than 13 feet 6 inches. The apparatus access road shall be posted on both ends with permanent `No Parking — Fire Lane' signs complying with Figure D 103.6 of the International Fire Code. The fire apparatus access road must be maintained at all times and kept clear of traffic, snow, ice, etc., until such time in the future that 72nd Avenue becomes a public street (2006 IFC 503.4). When this project is built, there must be a mechanism for this private fire apparatus access road to be maintained for snow plowing and road surface maintenance; such as a development homeowners association. This fire apparatus road does not require gates, however if the applicant chooses to install gates and/or barricades the 2006 IFC 503.5 standards shall apply. If a gate is installed on this fire apparatus access road, it must have a 20 -foot wide opening and a Knox Keypad installed with the design and location to be approved by the fire code official ,with consultation from the fire department. (IFC Section 502). The proposed gate shall be located so as to avoid creating a dead end that would make turn - around difficult. Dead -end fire apparatus access roads in excess of 150 feet in length shall be provided with an approved area for turning around fire apparatus. (IFC Section 503.2.4)" At the hearing, the applicant's representatives asked the Examiner to recommend deleting this Condition 47 contrary to the recommendations of the Planning staff of the City's Planning Division and the recommendations of the Fire Marshall personnel of the City's Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 4 At westerly extension of Easy St. 18 -Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 DOC. INDEX # &A_ I • • 1 • �J JUN 2 6 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. Fire Department and Code Administration Division. The Examiner's research indicates that at this point the Examiner lacks the jurisdiction or authority to recommend changing an MDNS condition that has become final for lack of an appeal. Court cases holding that Courts lack jurisdiction to consider matters in similar circumstances and the City's own SEPA ordinance provisions have led the Examiner to that conclusion. The City's SEPA ordinance provisions to that effect were most recently amended by the City Council by Ordinance No. 2005 -50 adopted on September 6, 2005. The most pertinent provisions in Subsection 6.88.170(F) of that ordinance are highlighted by bold italics: "F. All SEPA appeals provided under this section shall be initiated by filing a written notice of SEPA administrative appeal with the responsible official, accompanied with the applicable appeal fee. 1. The notice of appeal required by this section shall include, at a minimum: a. The name and address of the party or agency filing the appeal; b. An identification of the specific proposal and specific SEPA actions, . omissions, conditions or determinations for which appeal is sought; c. A statement of the particular grounds or reasons for the appeal (1) An appeal to the issuance of a,DNS or MDNS may be filed by any agency or aggrieved person .as follows: (b) For proposals which may only be approved by open- record hearing or open - record predecision hearing recommendation, an appeal shall be filed within 14 days following the last day of any comment period required to be provided by this chapter, or when no comment period is required, then within 14 days following the date of issuance or adoption of the DNS, and shall be heard and decided in the open- record hearing in conjunction with the decision or recommendation on the underlying proposal The decision of the hearing examiner on the SEPA appeal shall be final and not subject to further administrative appeal (d) The SEPA determination of the . responsible official shall be entitled to substantial weight, and: the appellant shall bear the burden to establish a violation of SEPA, the SEPA rules, or the provisions of this chapter.

(e) A SEPA determination shall be deemed to be .conclusively in compliance with SEPA, the SEPA rules, and the provisions of this chapter, unless a SEPA appeal is filed in accordance with this part. b. For any appeal under this subsection, the City shall provide for a record that shall consist of the following: (1) Findings and conclusions; (2) Testimony under oath; and (3) A taped or written transcript. G. Judicial appeal 1. Any available administrative appeal provided under this section must be utilized by an agency or aggrieved person prior to initiating judicial review of any SEPA action, omission or determination made or taken under this chapter. 2. A judicial appeal of any SEPA action, omission or determination made or taken under this chapter must be filed within the time limitation established by any_ statute or ordinance for appeal of the underlying action." Here the applicant did not appeal the MDNS within 14 days after its issuance on May 15, 2008. No appeal hearing with sworn testimony was conducted. Even Courts in similar circumstances have held that they lack jurisdiction or authority to consider matters that have become final for lack of an appeal. For example, the Washington Supreme Court in a series of recent decisions has placed considerable importance upon the need for finality in land use decisions. It held as follows in the case of Skamania County v. Columbia River Gorge Comm'n, 144 Wn.2d 30, 26 P.3d 241 (2001) at page 49: "... We have long recognized a strong public policy supporting administrative finality in land use decisions. In fact, this court has stated that `[i]f there were not finality [in land use decisions], no owner of land would ever be safe in proceeding with development of his property ... To make an exception ... would completely defeat the purpose and policy of the law in making a definite time limit.' Deschenes v. King County, 83 Wash.2d 714, 717, 521 P.2d 1181 (1974)." The need to comply with time limits for court appeals was announced long ago by an 1890 Washington Supreme Court decision: Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 6 At westerly extension of Easy St. 18 -Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 DOC. INDEX �� nn_ �, C: C7 RECEIVED J u n 2 6 2008 • .i � � (i1= Yet IMA � PLANKING DIV. "We agree with the conclusions of the supreme court of the territory as expressed by Justice Greene in the case of Stark v. Jenkins,. 1 Wash. T. 421, that the limitation of the time of appeal `is the interest of the commonwealth, that there be an end to litigation and is mandatory on the courts.' At the expiration of the time limited the cause of action is an adjudicated matter, and no consent of the parties nor willingness of courts can recall a controversy thus wisely, by limitation of law, passed into the realm of ended suits. That such is the'universal construction of such statutes is abundantly proved by the authorities. See Fairchild v. Daten, 38 Cal. 286; Durbide v. U.S., 22 How. 290. If this limitation was one that could be waived by the parties at all, then it could be waived at any time, and, if the parties should desire, this court would have to review causes in which final judgments had been rendered five, twenty -five, or one hundred years, and, as the legislature of course never intended this result, we must hold that it ' intended that there be no extension of the limited time." [Cogswell v. Hogan, 1 Wash. 4, 5 (1890)]. The Washington Supreme Court subsequently held that entry of a new judgment with only the date changed could not be utilized to revive a right of appeal that had been lost: "The court's purpose in changing the date of the judgment from the time it was entered on January 11, 1956, to September 26, 1956, was to revive the time for taking an appeal. This it could not do. It is a well - established rule that a court may not permit, in any indirect manner, an extension of time for taking an appeal so as to evade an express jurisdictional requirement that the appeal must be taken within a certain time. 89 A.L.R. 941; 149 A.L.R. 741, 3 Am. Jur. 141, Appeal and Error, Section 418. In Credit Co. v. Arkansas Central R. Co., 128 U.S. 258, 32 L. Ed. 448, 9 S.Ct. 107, the court stated: `When the time for taking an appeal has expired, it cannot be arrested or called back by a simple order: of court. If it could be, the law which limits the time within which an, appeal can be taken would be a dead letter.' This is not the case where a judgment has been vacated on some statutory ground for the purpose of changing some or all of its terms; indeed, the order purported to change only.the date of the entry of the judgment." [Cohen v. Stingl, 51 Wn.2d 866, 868, 322 P.(2d) 873 (1958)].

Subsequently it has been held that a governmental body acting in an appellate, quasi- judicial capacity cannot acquire jurisdiction over an issue unless the appellant complies with an ordinance's time limit for filing an appeal and with its requirement for payment of an administrative appeal fee. The case of Graham Thrift Group v. Pierce County, 75 Wn.App. 263, 877 P.2d 228 (1994) interpreted the effect of the following Pierce County ordinance provision in light of the legislative body's interest in the finality of land use decisions as follows: "A. The appellant must file written notice of appeal with the Planning Department and the appeal fee within ten (10) working days of the date of mailing of the Examiner's final decision[.]" [page 267]. "A legislative body may determine that the interest in finality justifies applying a mandatory time limit for filing an appeal and paying a filing fee. This is particularly true in the context of land use decisions, where time is usually of the essence for 'the parties involved. See Concerned Organized Women & People Opposed to Offensive Proposals, Inc. v. Arlington, 69 Wn.App. 209, 219, 847 P.2d 963 (citing Deschenes v. King Cy., 83 Wn.2d 714, 521 P.2d 1181 (1974)), review denied, 122 Wn.2d 1014 (1993)." [page 269]. In the case of Ward v. County Commissioners, 86 Wn.App. 266, 936 P.2d 42 (1997), the court dismissed an appeal because the appeal from the Hearing Examiner's decision to the Board of County Commissioners was filed one day late -- on the fifteenth day rather than within fourteen days from the date of the decision. Likewise, in the recent case of Boehm v. City of Vancouver, 111 Wn.App. 711, 47 P.3d 137 .(2002) the court found noncompliance with the following city ordinance provision set forth at page 723 to preclude consideration of the appeal: "(1) Where an appeal under this chapter is required to be consolidated with a development approval hearing, a request for appeal shall be filed with the director no less than five days prior to the date scheduled for the approval hearing."

Besides quoting the language quoted above from the Graham Thrift Group case, the court stated at page 724: "Second, the Boehms argue that they substantially complied with the concurrency ordinance, which should excuse any procedural defect. Even assuming that the doctrine of substantial compliance applies, the Boehms have not satisfied the requirements. Our Supreme Court has held that `failure to comply with a statutorily set time limitation cannot be considered substantial compliance with that statute.' City of Seattle v. Pub. Employment Relations Comm 'n, 116 Wn.2d 923, 929, 809 P.2d 1377 (1991)." Therefore, in view of the mandatory MDNS appeal period set forth in Subsection 6.88.170F.2.(1)(b) of the City's SEPA ordinance which the applicant allowed to expire without an appeal, the Hearing Examiner has found no authority allowing him to consider the applicant's request for a recommendation deleting Condition #7 from the MDNS contrary to the recommendations of City Planning and Fire Marshall representatives. If the City Council wishes to revisit that MDNS Condition, its legal counsel may find that the City's consent to jurisdiction or waiver of objection to lack of jurisdiction could confer jurisdiction to delete or modify that condition in the absence of a SEPA appeal, but the Examiner at this point is unaware of any such authority from the research conducted to this point for this recommendation.

The current zoning of the property within the proposed preliminary plat is Single - Family Residential (R -1). The property is currently undeveloped. Adjacent properties have the following characteristics: Location Zoning North R -1, Single - Family Residential East R -1, Single - Family Residential West R -1, Single - Family Residential South R -1, Single- Family Residential Existing Land Use Undeveloped Agricultural Property Single Family Dwellings Undeveloped Agricultural Property Single Family Dwellings IX.

X. Preliminary Plat Review Criteria. Section 14.20. 100 of the YMC provides that the Hearing Examiner shall review a proposed subdivision during an open record public hearing to inquire into and determine whether or not the following standards are satisfied: (1) Subsection 14.20.100(1) -- Consistency with the provisions of the City's Urban Area Zoning Ordinance: Subsection 15.03.030(2) of the Urban Area Zoning Ordinance (UAZO) indicates that the intent of the Single - Family Residential (R -1) zoning district is to establish and preserve residential neighborhoods for detached single - family dwellings and to locate moderate - density residential development up to seven Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 10 At westerly extension of Easy St. 18 -Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" PRE LONG PLAT 43 -08: EC 47 -08 DOC, INDEX # M-1 • E RECEIVED JUN 2 6 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. dwelling units per net residential acre in areas served by public water and public sewer. The residential density within this proposed preliminary plat is only 3.4 dwelling units per net residential acre. Lot sizes range from approximately 8,500 to 10,200 square feet. Lot widths range in size from approximately 70 to 100 feet. Since each proposed lot meets the 7,000 - square -foot minimum lot size and the 50 -foot minimum lot width specified for single- family residential development within the R -1 zoning district and would be required to comply with the other provisions of the City's zoning ordinance, the proposed preliminary plat would be consistent with the intent of the R -1 zoning district. (2) Subsection 14.20.100(2) — Consistency with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan: The City's Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan designate the property within the proposed preliminary plat as suitable for Low Density Residential development. This proposed preliminary plat is consistent with that designation and is also consistent with other provisions of the Comprehensive Plan that encourage infilling, recognize the need for public water and sewer, encourage disposal of surface drainage on -site and encourage development consistent with the general land use pattern in the area: Specifically, it is consistent with the following Objectives, Goals and Policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan: (a) Objective G4 which is to manage the location and design of new development to minimize initial and future public and private costs; (b) Goal H 1 which is to encourage diverse and affordable housing choices; (c) Objective H1.2 which is to encourage a range of affordable home ownership options; (d) Goal H3 which is to reserve and improve existing residential neighborhoods; (e) Policy H3.9 which is to encourage housing design and. siting to be compatible with surrounding neighborhoods; (f) Objective H3.1 which is to stabilize existing, viable neighborhoods; and (g) Objective L2 which is to establish a pattern of development that supports a sense of community.

In addition, the proposed preliminary plat is also consistent with the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan in the following more specific ways: (a) An adequate and affordable supply of housing for all income levels within the community is a major goal of the Comprehensive Plan. To accomplish this goal, opportunities must be available for new development, but must also be balanced by the preservation of existing neighborhoods and the need to infill or redevelop some areas. (b) The area surrounding the proposed plat is characterized by low density, single - family dwellings, residential subdivisions, and vacant agricultural land. Because of these features, the subject property is compatible with the placement of single- family residences in this area. This proposal is therefore considered consistent with the Residential Land Use Goals of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. (c) The zoning ordinance sets forth by zoning. district specific subdivision standards for lot size, lot width, dwelling unit density, maximum lot coverage, minimum building setbacks, parking, building height, sightscreening and other development standards and requirements. When a specific building is proposed for this property, all applicable development standards and requirements will be met. (3) Subsection 14.20.100(3) — Consistency with the provisions of this title, Title 14 entitled "Subdivision Ordinance": As proposed and with the recommended conditions, this proposed preliminary plat would meet all the design requirements in Chapter 14.30 of the City's subdivision ordinance and in the City's Title 12 development standards. This review and the recommended conditions are intended to ensure consistency with the provisions of the City's subdivision ordinance as well as other applicable City ordinances. (4) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(a) — Appropriate provisions for public health, safety and general welfare: The construction of new residential units which will complement adjacent uses will promote the public health, safety and general welfare insofar as there is a need in this community for single- family residences and insofar as Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 12 At westerly extension of Easy St. DOC. 18 -Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge INDEX PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 (U N 2 6 2008 • �;i i v OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. this proposed preliminary plat would be required to comply with all applicable City development standards, all mitigation measures in the SEPA MDNS and all conditions of approval specified by the City Council. Besides conditions noted in the SEPA MDNS, the Development Services Team (DST) comments for the meeting held on March 5, 2008 and the public agency comments discussing requirements were as follows: (a) City Engineering Division: This plat needs to extend sewer in a way that will best serve properties to the west. The sewer to the north is too shallow to serve these properties. Engineering is requiring this plat to provide sewer on the south line to serve properties southerly and westerly. Curb, gutter and five -foot- wide sidewalks will be provided. The streets shall be built to City standards at 33- foot width, street lighting and drainage provided. 72nd Avenue is required to be on the western boundary of this plat (YMC 12.03, 12.05 and 12.06). (b) Nob Hill Water Association: Nob Hill Water Association is available and able to serve the Preliminary Plat of Vista Ridge by extending an 8 -inch water main westerly from the area of South 68`h Avenue and Easy Street approximately 700 feet to get to the property. The line will then be run throughout the development. The developer will be required to pay for all improvements. Nob Hill Water Association has a static pressure of 66 PSI and available flow is 1,750 GPM at 20 PSI. (c) City Surface Water Engineer: The applicant's proposed method of handling surface runoff through the use of infiltration trenches is acceptable. Complete stormwater design plans, specifications and runoff /storage calculations supporting the stormwater design are required pursuant to the Eastern Washington Stormwater Manual and City of Yakima standards. These plans and control measures must be reviewed and approved by the City of Yakima Surface Water Engineer prior to construction.

The gravel turn- around will need to be paved and meet 2006 IFC requirements. Connectivity with South 72nd Avenue will become important due to the extended distance (due to the lack of arterial streets) a fire truck will need to take in order to reach homes in this development. No parking is allowed on driveways of flag lots (Lots 16 and 17). RCW 52.33.030 was adopted by the Yakima City Council in 2007. The City of Yakima has adopted a "Travel Time" standard of 240 seconds (4:00 minutes) for the arrival of the first engine company to a fire suppression or emergency medical incident, which the department should meet 90% of the time.

The fire code official is authorized to require the installation and maintenance of gates or other approved barricades across fire apparatus access roads, trails or other accessways, not including public streets, alleys or highways. If a gate is installed on this fire apparatus access road, it must have a 20 foot opening and a Knox Keypad installed with the design and location to be approved by the fire code official with input from the fire department. (i) City Traffic En 'ngi egd This 18 -lot development requires review under the Transportation Concurrency Ordinance (YMC 12.08). The preliminary plat provides the future extension of South 72nd Avenue in this vicinity. The extension of South 72nd Avenue is indicated in Yakima County's West Valley Neighborhood Plan and may continue to Ahtanum Road. This road is envisioned as a 3 -lane street south of Washington Avenue. Currently, South 72nd Avenue between Washington Avenue and Coolidge carries an average of 2,100 Average Daily Vehicle Trips. The connection from this development to Easy Street provides a 21 -foot travel way which appears to be off -set from the existing Easy Street alignment. This development may be asked to improve the right -of -way adjacent to 6907 Easy Street in order to provide a proper alignment of the public street. 0) Yakima County Public Services: Yakima County has future plans to extend South 72nd Avenue southerly to Ahtanum Road. The County wants to have 70 feet of right -of -way available to do this and requests this road right -of -way dedication be required so the County can tie in.. (k) Yakima - Tieton Irrigation District: Parcel No. 181332 -43002 is within the District boundary and has 5.00 shares of Yakima - Tieton Irrigation water so the applicant will need to show the District's "Irrigation Approval" on the face of the plat and comply with the District's Resolution 97 -5. (1) Washington State Department of Ecology: Relative to water resources, the water purveyor is responsible for ensuring that the proposed use(s) are within the limitations of its water rights (RCW 90.03.380 and 90.44.100). 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 RCW 90.03.380 and RCW 90.44.100. If water is planned for dust suppression at the site, the applicant must confirm a legal right. A water right permit is required for all surface water diversions and for any water from a Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 16 At westerly extension of Easy St. 18 -Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 ­DOC.

The proponent shall check with the Washington State Department of Ecology, Water Resources Program, to confirm a legal water right and availability of a temporary permit. A copy of any permit or approval shall be provided to the City of Yakima prior to the commencement of site preparation. Relative to water quality, a project greater than one acre with potential to discharge off -site requires an NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit from the Washington State Department of Ecology. The permit requires that a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (Erosion Sediment Control Plan) is prepared and, implemented for all permitted construction sites. Permit coverage and erosion control measures . must be in place prior to any clearing, grading or construction. These plans and control measures must be reviewed and approved by the City of Yakima's Engineering Division prior to construction. (A follow -up informational letter and Construction Stormwater Brochure were submitted by the Department of Ecology on May 5, 2008.) (m) Yakima Regional Clean Air Authority: Prior to starting work, the vegetation on the site which needs to be removed cannot be burned either on or off the site because the property is located within the Urban Growth Area for the City of Yakima, and contractors doing clearing, grading, construction, paving or landscaping work must file a dust control plan with YRCAA. (5) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(b) — Appropriate provisions for open spaces: The proposed lots are larger than minimum sizes that could be approved for various types of dwelling units in then -1 zoning district. Lot coverage of 45% or less on the size of lots proposed for this preliminary plat will provide light, air and privacy for future residents sufficient to constitute appropriate provisions for open spaces. (6) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(c) — Appropriate provisions for drainage ways: Drainage of individual lots will be provided for on -site at the time of construction. On- site drainage will be permitted by methods to be reviewed and approved by the City Stormwater Engineer. The MDNS imposes specific and general conditions which will constitute appropriate drainage provisions for this preliminary plat. Vista Ridge Properties, LLC .

Title 12 development standards and emergency access improvements required by the MDNS constitute appropriate provisions for streets within the proposed preliminary plat. (8) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(e) — Appropriate provisions for transit stops: Currently the nearest transit stop is located at South 64`x' Avenue and West Washington Avenue, but appropriate provisions are made for transit stops insofar as stops that are nearer to the proposed preliminary plat can be added as the need arises. (9) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(f) — Appropriate provisions for potable water supplies, irrigation and other water suppliers: All lots will be served with public domestic water and water for fire protection purposes by the Nob Hill Water Association which will make appropriate provisions for water for the preliminary plat. (10) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(g) — Appropriate provisions for sanitary waste disposal: There would be appropriate provisions for sanitary waste disposal for the proposed preliminary plat in the form of public sewer service provided in accordance with the City of Yakima's Title 12 standards. Adequate sewer mains to serve the proposed preliminary plat are already within the area. No septic systems or other method of sewage disposal will be allowed. (11) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(h) — Appropriate provisions for parks and recreation: Appropriate provisions for parks and recreation areas for this proposed preliminary plat exist due to the size, number and location of the proposed lots and due to the proximity of West Valley Neighborhood Park about 3 miles driving distance from the proposed preliminary plat.

(12) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(i) — Appropriate provisions for playgrounds: Appropriate provisions for playgrounds exist within this proposed preliminary plat due to the size, number and location of the proposed lots and the neighborhood park in the area. (13) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(j) — Appropriate provisions for schools and school grounds. No comments were received from the School District to suggest that this preliminary plat will lack appropriate provisions for schools and school grounds. (14) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(k) — Appropriate provisions for sidewalks: Since the proposed plat would have sidewalks on both sides of the street in accordance with City standards, the .proposed plat would make appropriate and adequate provisions for sidewalks. (15) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(1) — Appropriate provisions for other planning features that .assure safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school: There was no evidence presented at the hearing of a need for features other than sidewalks on both sides of the street to make appropriate provisions for safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school. (16) Subsection 14.20.100(5) — Public use and interest: The evidence indicated that this proposed preliminary plat would be consistent with neighboring land uses and would help serve the residential needs of this area. The preliminary plat will better serve the needs of the Urban . Growth Area than continued agricultural use. The neighbors' concern about the traffic and lack of sidewalks on Easy Street will hopefully be addressed by extension of South 72nd Avenue from Coolidge Road in the not- too-distant future. That concern does not seem to justify denial of the preliminary plat. Based on the standards discussed above, it is apparent that the public use and interest would in fact. be served by the proposed preliminary plat. With recommended conditions, it would comply with the City's zoning ordinance, comprehensive plan and subdivision ordinance.

XI. Consistency Analysis under Subsection 16.06.020(B) of the Yakima Municipal Code. The following analysis involves the preliminary plat's consistency with applicable development regulations, or in the absence of applicable regulations, the adopted comprehensive plan as mandated by the State Growth Management Act and the Yakima Municipal Code. During project review, neither the City nor any subsequent reviewing body may re- examine alternatives to, or hear appeals on, the items identified in these conclusions except for issues of code interpretation. (1) The type of land use contemplated by the proposal (a residential development) is permitted on this site so long as it complies with the conditions of the SEPA Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance and the conditions imposed by the Yakima City Council, as well as the regulations of the zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinance, building codes and other applicable regulations. (2) The level of development (lot size, contemplated density) would not exceed the allowable limit in the Single - Family Residential (R -1) zoning district. (3) The availability and adequacy of infrastructure and public facilities is not an issue because the additional infrastructure that would be provided at the applicant's expense would insure that adequate infrastructure and public facilities are available for the proposed preliminary plat. (4) The character of the proposal, such as the proposal's consistency with applicable development standards of the City's Urba® Area Zoning Ordinance, primarily involves consideration of specific development standards relating to lot size, access, potable water, sewage disposal and other features of the proposed preliminary plat which have been discussed in detail above. With the MDNS conditions and the additional recommended conditions, the proposed preliminary plat would be consistent with the development standards of applicable City ordinances.

It would be accessed by a westerly extension of Easy Street. It would also have a secondary emergency access required by the SEPA MDNS until such time as South 72 Avenue south of Coolidge Road is improved to City public street standards. It would be a paved 20- foot -wide Fire Apparatus Access Road constructed by the applicant over the existing 15- foot -wide public right -of -way and an additional 5 feet of right -of -way to be acquired from Coolidge Road southerly to the Vista Ridge Plat. III. Application. This preliminary plat would create 18 single- family residential lots on 4.89 acres. It would have full urban services, including public water, public sewer and public streets with curbs, gutters and sidewalks on both sides of the street and with streetlights. • IV. Notices. Notices of the June 12, 2008 public hearing were provided in accordance with applicable ordinances, including Titles 14, 15 and 16 of the Yakima Municipal Code (YMC).

A paved 20 -foot wide Fire Apparatus Access Road shall be constructed along the future 72n Avenue right -of -way extending from Coolidge Avenue to the future extension of Easy Street at Vista Ridge Plat. This apparatus access road shall meet all 2006 International Fire Code requirements as stated in the `Findings' section of this decision. L. Fire, Life and Safety: The applicant shall provide a paved Fire Apparatus Access Road extending from the intersection of Coolidge and the future 72 Avenues south to the Vista Ridge Plat (2006 International Fire Code, Chapter 5; subsection 503.2). The apparatus access road shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 20 feet except for approved security gates in accordance with IFC Section 503.6, and an unobstructed vertical clearance of not less than .13 feet 6 inches.

The Examiner's research indicates that at this point the Examiner lacks the jurisdiction or authority to recommend changing an MDNS condition that has become final for lack of an appeal. Court cases holding that Courts lack jurisdiction to consider matters in similar circumstances and the City's own SEPA ordinance provisions have led the Examiner to that conclusion. The City's SEPA ordinance provisions to that effect were most recently amended by the City Council by Ordinance No. 2005 -50 adopted on September 6, 2005. The most pertinent provisions in Subsection 6.88.170(F) of that ordinance are highlighted by bold italics: "F. All SEPA appeals provided under this section shall be initiated by filing a written notice of SEPA administrative appeal with the responsible official, accompanied with the applicable appeal fee 1. The notice of appeal required by this section shall include, at a minimum: • • a. The name and address of the party or agency filing the appeal; b. An identification of the specific proposal and specific SEPA actions, omissions, conditions or determinations for which appeal is sought; c. A statement of the particular grounds or reasons for the appeal (1) An appeal to the issuance of a DNS or MDNS may be filed by any agency or aggrieved person as follows: (b) For proposals which may only be approved by open record hearing or open- record predecision hearing recommendation, an appeal shall be filed within 14 days following the last day of any comment period required to be provided by this chapter, or when no comment period is required, then within 14 days following the date, of issuance or adoption of the DNS, and shall be heard and decided in the open- record hearing in conjunction with the decision or recommendation on the underlying proposal The decision of the hearing examiner on the SEPA appeal shall be final and not subject to further administrative appeal (d) The SEPA determination of the responsible official shall be entitled to substantial weight, and the appellant shall bear the burden to establish a violation of SEPA, the SEPA rules, or the provisions of this chapter. 1111 Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 5 At westerly extension of Easy St. DOC. 18 -Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" INDEX PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 # AA I JUN 262008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. • (e) A SEPA determination shall be deemed to be conclusively in compliance with SEPA, the SEPA rules, and the provisions of this chapter, unless a SEPA appeal is filed in accordance with this part b. For any appeal under this subsection, the City shall provide for a record that shall consist of the following: (1) Findings and conclusions; (2) Testimony under oath; and (3) A taped or written transcript. G. Judicial appeal 1. Any available administrative appeal provided under this section must be utilized by an agency or aggrieved person prior to initiating judicial review of any SEPA action, omission or determination made or taken under this chapter. 2. A judicial appeal of any SEPA action, omission or determination made or taken under this chapter must be filed within the time limitation established by any statute or ordinance for appeal of the underlying action." Here the applicant did not appeal the MDNS within 14 days after its issuance on May 15, 2008. No appeal hearing with sworn pp g testimony was conducted. Even Courts in similar circumstances have held that they lack jurisdiction or authority to consider matters that have become final for lack of an appeal. For example, the Washington Supreme Court in a series of recent decisions has placed considerable importance upon the need for fmality in land use decisions. It held as follows in the case of Skamania County v. Columbia River Gorge Comm 'n, 144 Wn.2d 30, 26 P.3d 241 (2001) at page 49: "... We have long recognized a strong public policy supporting administrative finality in land use decisions. In fact, this court has stated that `[i]f there were not finality [in land use decisions], no owner of land would ever be safe in proceeding with development of his property ... To make an exception ... would completely defeat the purpose and policy of the law in making a definite time limit.' Deschenes v. King County, 83 Wash.2d 714, 717, 521 P.2d 1181 (1974)." The need to comply with time limits for court appeals was announced long ago by an 1890 Washington Supreme Court decision: Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 6 • At westerly extension of Easy St. DOC. 18 -Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" INDEX PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 # AA A RECEIVED JUN 2 6 2008 11111 "I t v OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. "We agree with the conclusions of the supreme court of the territory as expressed by Justice Greene in the case of Stark v. Jenkins, 1 Wash. T. 421, that the limitation of the time of appeal `is the interest of the commonwealth, that there be an end to litigation and is mandatory on the courts.' At the expiration of the time limited the cause of action is an adjudicated matter, and no consent of the parties nor willingness of courts can recall a controversy thus wisely, by limitation of law, passed into the realm' of ended suits. That such is the universal construction of'such statutes is abundantly proved by the authorities. See Fairchild v. Daten, 38 Cal. 286; Yturbide v. U.S., 22 How. 290. If this limitation was one that could be waived by the parties at all, then it could be waived at any time, and, if the parties should desire, this court would have to review causes in which final judgments had been rendered five, twenty -five, or one hundred years, and, as the legislature of course never intended this result, we must hold that it intended that there be no extension of the limited time." [Cogswell v. Hogan, 1 Wash. 4, 5 (1890)]. The Washington Supreme Court subsequently held that :entry of a new judgment with only the date changed could not be utilized to revive a right of appeal that had been lost: "The court's purpose in changing the date of the judgment from the time it was entered on January 11, 1956, to September 26, 1956, was to revive the time for taking an appeal. This it could not do. It is a well - established rule that a court may not permit, in any indirect manner, an extension of time for taking an appeal so as to evade an express jurisdictional requirement that the appeal must be taken within a certain time. 89 A.L.R. 941; 149 A.L.R. 741, 3 Am. Jur. 141, Appeal and Error, Section 418. In Credit Co. v. Arkansas Central R. Co., 128 U.S. 258, 32 L. Ed. 448, 9 S.Ct. 107, the court stated: `When the time for taking an appeal has expired, it cannot be arrested or called back by a simple order of court. If it could be, the law which' limits . the time within which an appeal can be taken would be a dead letter.' This is not the case where a judgment has been vacated on some statutory ground for the purpose of changing some or all of its terms; indeed, the order • purported to change only the date of the entry of the judgment." [Cohen v. Stingl, 51 Wn.2d 866, 868, 322 P.(2d) 873 (1958)]. 1110 Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 7 At westerly extension of Easy St. DOC. 18 - Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" INDEX PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 RECEIVED JUN 2 6 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. Subsequently it has been held that a governmental body acting in an appellate, quasi - judicial capacity cannot acquire jurisdiction over an issue unless the appellant complies with an ordinance's time limit for filing an appeal and with its requirement for payment of an administrative appeal fee. The case of Graham Thrift Group v. Pierce County, 75 Wn.App. 263, 877 P.2d 228 (1994) interpreted the effect of the following Pierce County ordinance provision in light of the legislative body's interest in the finality of land use decisions as follows: "A. The appellant must file written notice of appeal with the Planning Department and the appeal fee within ten (10) working days of the date of mailing of the Examiner's final decision[.]" [page 267]. "A legislative body may determine that the interest m finality justifies applying a mandatory time limit for filing an appeal and paying a filing fee. This is particularly true in the context of land use decisions, where time is usually of the essence for the parties involved. See Concerned Organized Women & People Opposed to Offensive Proposals, Inc. v. Arlington, 69 Wn.App. 209, 219, 847 P.2d 963 (citing Deschenes v. King Cy., 83 Wn.2d 714, 521 P.2d 1181 (1974)), review' denied, 122 Wn.2d 1014 (1993)." [page 269]. In the case of Ward v. County Commissioners, 86 Wn.App. 266, 936 P.2d 42 (1997), the court dismissed an appeal because the appeal from the Hearing Examiner's decision to the Board of County Commissioners was filed one day late -- on the fifteenth day rather than within fourteen days from the date of the decision. Likewise, in the recent case of Boehm v. City of Vancouver, 111 Wn.App. 711, 47 P.3d 137 (2002) the court found noncompliance with the following city ordinance provision set forth at page 723 to preclude consideration of the appeal: "(1) Where an appeal under this chapter is required to be consolidated with a development approval hearing, a request for appeal shall be filed with the director no less than five days prior to the date scheduled for the approval hearing."

PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 INDEX RECEIVED JUN 2 2008 CITY OF YAKIMA INNING WV Besides quoting the language quoted above from the Graham Thrift Group case, the court stated at page 724: "Second, . the Boehms argue that they substantially complied with the concurrency ordinance, which should excuse any procedural defect. Even assuming that the doctrine of substantial compliance applies, the Boehms have not satisfied the requirements. Our Supreme Court has held that `failure to comply with a statutorily set time limitation cannot be considered substantial compliance with that statute.' City of Seattle v. Pub. Employment Relations Comm 'n, 116 Wn.2d 923, 929, 809 P.2d 1377 (1991)." • Therefore, in view of the mandatory MDNS appeal period set forth in Subsection 6.88.170F.2:(1)(b) of the City's SEPA ordinance which the applicant .allowed to expire without an appeal, the Hearing Examiner has found no authority allowing him to consider • the applicant's request for a recommendation deleting Condition #7 from the MDNS contrary to the recommendations of City Planning and Fire Marshall representatives. If the City Council wishes to revisit that MDNS Condition, its legal counsel may find that the City's consent to jurisdiction or waiver of objection to lack of jurisdiction could confer jurisdiction to delete or modify that condition in the absence of a SEPA appeal, but the Examiner at this point is unaware of any such authority from the research conducted to this point for this recommendation. VI. Transportation Concurrency. Transportation Concurrency Analysis was completed on May 12, 2008. It indicated that this development will not exceed the PM peak hour capacity of the city arterial street system and that reserve capacity exists on all streets impacted by this development. • 1110 Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 9 At westerly extension of Easy St. 18 -Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" DOG, PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 INDEX # _AA- RECEIVED JUN 2 62008 CITY OF YAKIMA PLANNING DIV.

Zoning and Land Use of Site. The current zoning of the property within the proposed preliminary plat is Single - Family Residential (R -1). The property is currently undeveloped. Adjacent properties have the following characteristics: Location Zoning Existing Land Use North R -1, Single - Family Residential Undeveloped Agricultural Property East R -1, Single - Family Residential Single Family Dwellings West R -1, Single - Family Residential Undeveloped Agricultural Property South R -1, Single - Family Residential Single Family Dwellings IX.

X. Preliminary Plat Review Criteria. Section 14.20.100 of the YMC provides that the Hearing Examiner shall review a proposed subdivision during an open record public hearing to inquire into and determine whether or not the following standards are satisfied: (1) Subsection 14.20.100(1) -- Consistency with the provisions of the City's Urban Area Zoning Ordinance: Subsection 15.03.030(2) of the Urban Area Zoning Ordinance (UAZO) indicates that the intent of the Single- Family Residential (R -1) zoning district is to establish and preserve residential neighborhoods for detached single- family dwellings and to locate moderate - density residential development up to seven Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 10 At westerly extension of Easy St. DO C 18 -Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" INDEX PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 # AA .

The residential density within this proposed preliminary plat is only 3.4 dwelling units per net residential acre. Lot sizes range from approximately 8,500 to 10,200 square feet. Lot widths range in size from approximately 70 to 100 feet. Since each proposed lot meets the 7,000 - square -foot minimum lot size and the 50 -foot minimum lot width specified for single- family residential development within the R -1 zoning district and would be required to comply with the other provisions of the City's zoning ordinance, the proposed preliminary plat would be consistent with the intent of the R -1 zoning district. (2) Subsection 14.20.100(2) — Consistency with the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan: The City's Future Land Use Map and Comprehensive Plan designate the property within the proposed preliminary plat as suitable for Low Density Residential development. This proposed preliminary plat is consistent with that • designation and is also consistent with other provisions of the Comprehensive Plan that encourage infilling, recognize the need for public water and sewer, encourage disposal of surface drainage on -site and encourage development consistent with the general land use pattern in the area. Specifically, it is consistent with the following Objectives, Goals and Policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan: (a) Objective G4 which is to manage the location and design of new development to minimize initial and future public and private costs; (b) Goal H1 which is to encourage diverse and affordable housing choices; (c) Objective H1.2 which is to encourage a range of affordable home ownership options; (d) Goal H3 which is to reserve and improve existing residential neighborhoods; (e) Policy H3.9 which is to encourage housing design and siting to be compatible with surrounding neighborhoods; (f) Objective H3.1 which is to stabilize existing, viable neighborhoods; and (g) Objective L2 which is to establish a pattern of development that supports a sense of community. li Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 11 At westerly extension of Easy St. 1 8-Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" DOC. PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 INDEX AA - 1 JUN 2 6 2008 CITY OF YAKIMIA PLANNING DIV In addition, the proposed preliminary plat is also consistent with the intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan in the following more specific ways: (a) An adequate and affordable supply of housing for all income levels within the community is a major goal of the Comprehensive Plan. To accomplish this goal, opportunities must be available for new development, but must also be balanced by the preservation of existing neighborhoods and the need to infill or redevelop some areas. (b) The area surrounding the proposed plat is characterized by low density, single- family dwellings, residential subdivisions, and vacant agricultural land. Because of these features, the subject property is compatible with the placement of single- family residences in this area. This proposal is therefore considered consistent with the Residential Land Use Goals of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan: (c) The zoning ordinance sets forth by zoning district specific subdivision standards for lot size, lot width, dwelling unit density, maximum lot coverage, minimum building setbacks, parking, building height, sightscreening and other development standards and requirements. When a specific building is proposed for this property, all applicable development standards and requirements will be met. (3) Subsection 14.20.100(3) — Consistency with the provisions of this title, Title 14 entitled "Subdivision Ordinance": As proposed and with the recommended conditions, this proposed preliminary plat would meet all the design requirements in Chapter 14.30 of the City's subdivision ordinance and in the City's Title 12 development standards. This review and the recommended conditions are intended to ensure consistency with the provisions of the City's subdivision ordinance as well as other applicable City ordinances. (4) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(a) — Appropriate provisions for public health, safety and general welfare: The construction of new residential units which will complement adjacent uses will promote the public health, safety and general welfare insofar as there is a need in this community for single - family residences and insofar as Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 12 At westerly extension of Easy St. DOC. 18 -Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" INDEX PRE LONG PLAT #3 -08; EC #7 -08 L _._. _AA- 1 ______ RECEIVED ,iuN 262008 i Y til; YAKIMA PLANNING DIV. this proposed preliminary plat would be required to comply with all applicable City development standards, all mitigation measures in the SEPA MDNS and all conditions of approval specified by the City Council. Besides conditions noted in the SEPA MDNS, the Development, Services Team (DST) comments for the meeting held on March 5, 2008 and the public agency comments discussing requirements were as follows: (a) City Engineering Division: This plat needs to extend sewer in a way that will best serve properties to the west. The sewer to the north is too shallow to serve these properties. Engineering is requiring this plat to provide sewer on the south line to serve properties southerly and westerly. Curb, gutter and five -foot- wide .sidewalks will be provided. The streets shall be built to City standards at 33- foot width, street lighting and drainage provided. 72" Avenue is required to be on the western boundary of this plat (YMC 12.03, 12.05 and 12.06). (b) Nob Hill Water Association: Nob Hill Water Association is available and able to serve the Preliminary Plat of Vista Ridge by extending an 8 -inch water main westerly from the area of South 68 Avenue and Easy Street approximately • 700 feet to get to the property. The line will then be run throughout the development. The developer will be required to pay for all improvements. Nob Hill Water Association has a static pressure of 66 PSI and available flow is 1,750 GPM at 20 PSI. (c) City Surface Water Engineer: The applicant's proposed method of handling surface runoff through the use of infiltration trenches is acceptable. Complete stormwater design plans, specifications and runoff /storage calculations supporting the stormwater design are required pursuant to the Eastern Washington Stormwater Manual and City of Yakima standards. These plans and control measures must be reviewed and approved by the City of Yakima Surface Water Engineer prior to construction. In accordance with Chapter 2, Section 2.4, of the December, 2006 edition of the Department of Ecology's Guidance for UIC Wells that Manage Stormwater, Publication Number 05 -10 -067, _Underground Injection Control (UIC) wells constructed on or after February 3, 2006 are considered new and must be registered with the Department of Ecology (DOE) prior to construction. (d) City Wastewater Division: Although it is difficult to tell from the drawing, at three locations (the northwest, southwest and southeast) the sewer pipe will need to be extended to the property line, capped and marked. It is not known at this time whether the applicant has permission to bring the line in from the north IP Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 13 At westerly extension of Easy St. 18 -Lot Plat of "Vista Ridge" DOC.

The subdivision located at the northeast corner of Easy Street and South 72nd Avenue will need to extend sewer along the south portion of the property to the west in order to eventually tie in with Phase 3 of the Applebrook project. (e) Code Administration: Per D102.1 of the 2006 International Fire Code, the Fire Department turnaround at the end of South 70th Avenue shall be paved. An access agreement shall be submitted in writing from the owner of the adjacent property. (This turnaround has since been replaced by the requirement to provide a paved fire apparatus access road per March 25, 2008 site plan). Plan review, permits and inspections are required for future development of this project per Section 105 of the 2006 International Residential Code.

The gravel turn- around will need to be paved and meet 2006 IFC requirements. Connectivity with South 72 Avenue will become important due to the extended distance (due to the lack of arterial streets) a fire truck will need to take in order to reach homes in this development. No parking is allowed on driveways of flag lots (Lots 16 and 17). RCW 52.33.030 was adopted by the Yakima City Council in 2007. The City of Yakima has adopted a "Travel Time" standard of 240 seconds (4:00 minutes) for the arrival of the first engine company to a fire suppression or emergency medical, incident, which the department should meet 90% of the time. This speaks to travel time only. That time begins when the engine begins to move, until arrival when it arrives at an incident.

(i) City Traffic Engineering: This 18 -lot development requires review under the Transportation Concurrency Ordinance (YMC 12.08). The preliminary plat provides the future extension of South 72nd Avenue in this vicinity. The extension of South 72nd Avenue is indicated in Yakima County's West Valley Neighborhood Plan and may continue to Ahtanum Road. This road is envisioned as a 3 -lane street south of Washington Avenue. Currently, South 72nd Avenue between Washington Avenue and Coolidge carries an average of 2,100 Average Daily Vehicle Trips. The connection from this development to Easy Street provides a 21 -foot travel way which appears to be off -set . from the existing Easy Street alignment. This development may be asked to improve the right -of -way adjacent to 6907 Easy Street in order to provide a proper alignment of the public street.

A copy of any permit or approval shall be provided to the City of Yakima prior to the commencement of site preparation. Relative to water quality, a project greater than one acre with potential to discharge off -site requires an NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit from the Washington State Department of Ecology. The permit requires that a ,Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (Erosion Sediment Control Plan) is prepared and implemented for all permitted construction sites. Permit coverage and erosion control measures must be in place prior to any clearing, grading or construction. These plans and control measures must be reviewed and approved by the City of Yakima's Engineering Division prior to construction. (A follow -up informational letter and Construction Stormwater Brochure were submitted by the Department of Ecology onMay5,2008.) (m) Yakima Regional Clean Air Authority: Prior to starting work, the vegetation on the site which needs to be removed cannot be burned either on or off the site because the property is located within the Urban Growth Area for the City • of Yakima, and contractors doing clearing, grading, construction, paving or landscaping work must file a dust control plan with YRCAA. (5) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(b) — Appropriate provisions for open spaces: The proposed lots are larger than minimum sizes that could be approved for various types of dwelling units in the R -1 zoning district. Lot coverage of 45% or less on the size of lots proposed for this preliminary plat will provide light, air and privacy for future residents sufficient to constitute appropriate provisions for open spaces. (6) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(c) — Appropriate provisions for drainage ways: Drainage of individual lots will be provided for on -site at the time of construction. On- site drainage will be permitted by methods to be reviewed and approved by the City Stormwater Engineer. The MDNS imposes specific and general conditions which will constitute appropriate drainage provisions for this preliminary plat.

No comments were received from the School District to suggest that this preliminary plat will lack appropriate provisions for schools and school grounds. (14) Subsection 14.20.100(4)(k) — Appropriate provisions for sidewalks: Since the proposed plat would have sidewalks on both sides of the street in accordance with City standards, the proposed plat would make appropriate and adequate provisions for sidewalks. (15) Subsection 14.20.100(4)0) — Appropriate provisions for other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school: There was no evidence t resented a p the hearing of a need for features other than sidewalks on both sides of the street to make appropriate provisions for safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school. (16) Subsection 14.20.100(5) — Public use and interest: The evidence indicated that this proposed preliminary plat would be consistent with neighboring land uses and would help serve the residential needs of this area. The preliminary plat will better serve the needs of the Urban Growth, Area than continued agricultural use. The neighbors' concern about the traffic and lack of sidewalks on Easy Street will hopefully be addressed by extension of South, 72 Avenue from Coolidge Road in the not- too-distant future. That concern does not seem to justify denial of the preliminary plat. Based on the standards discussed above, it is apparent that the public use and interest would in fact be served by the proposed preliminary plat. With recommended conditions, it would comply with the City's zoning ordinance, comprehensive plan and subdivision ordinance.

XI. Consistency Analysis under Subsection 16.06.020(B) of the Yakima Municipal Code. The following analysis involves the preliminary plat's consistency with applicable development regulations, or in the absence of applicable regulations, the adopted comprehensive plan as mandated by the State Growth Management Act and the Yakima Municipal Code. During project review, neither the City nor any subsequent reviewing body may re- examine alternatives to, or hear appeals on, the items identified in these conclusions except for issues of code interpretation. (1) The type - of land use contemplated by the proposal (a residential development) is permitted on this site so long as it complies with the conditions of the SEPA Mitigated Determination of Nonsignificance and the conditions imposed by the Yakima City Council, as well as the regulations of the zoning ordinance, subdivision ordinance, building codes and other applicable regulations. (2) The level of development (lot size, contemplated density) would not exceed the allowable limit in the Single- Family Residential (R -1) zoning district. (3) The availability and adequacy of infrastructure and public facilities is not an issue because the additional infrastructure that would be provided at the applicant's expense would insure that adequate infrastructure and public facilities are available for the proposed preliminary plat. (4) The character of the proposal, such as the proposal's consistency with applicable development standards of the City's Urban Area Zoning Ordinance, primarily involves consideration of specific development standards relating to lot size, access, potable water, sewage disposal and other features of the proposed preliminary plat which have been discussed in detail above. With the MDNS conditions and the additional recommended conditions, the proposed preliminary plat would be consistent with the development standards of applicable City ordinances.

Low Density Residential is primarily characterized • by single family, detached residences. The following Goals, Objectives and policies `that apply to this designation and proposed land use are: Objective G4: Manage the location and design of new development to minimize -initial • and future public and private costs. • Goal H 1: Encourage diverse and affordable housing choices: . Objective H1.2: • Encourage a range of affordable homeownership options. Goal H3:. Preserve and improve existing residential neighborhoods. Policy H3.9: Encourage housing design and siting to be compatible with surrounding neighborhoods. Objective H3.1 Stabilize existing, viable neighborhoods. . Objective L2: Establish a pattern of development that supports a sense of community. An adequate and affordable supply of housing for all income levels within the community is a 4110 major goal of the Comprehensive Plan. To accomplish this goal, opportunities must be available . for new development, but must also be balanced by the preservation. of existing neighborhoods . and the need to infill or redevelop some areas. The area surrounding the proposed plat is characterized by low density, single - family dwellings, residential subdivisions, and vacant agricultural land. Because of these features, the subject . property is compatible .with the placement of single- family residences in this area. This proposal is therefore considered consistent with the Residential Land Use Goals of the Yakima Urban Area Comprehensive Plan. .URBAN AREA ZONING ORDINANCE (UAZO) . • Single- family.Residential (15.03.030 (2)) • The UAZO indicates that the R -1 district is intended to 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 also to locate moderate- density r • Vista Ridge Properties, LLC 3 Vicinity of Easy St. & S. 72 ° `' - Ave. - • DOC.

The dwelling • unit density in this district is generally seven units per net residential acre or less. The proposed residential density within this subdivision is 3.4 dwelling units per net residential acre, therefore this proposal is considered consistent with the R -1 zoning district. ZONING ORDINANCE SUBDIVISION DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS: The zoning ordinance sets forth by zoning district specific subdivision standards for lot size, lot width, dwelling unit density, maximum lot coverage, minimum building setbacks, parking, building height, sight screening, etc. When a specific building is proposed for this property all applicable development standards shall be met.

SEPA comments for this project were sent to the lead agency by Ecology's Water Quality Program stating that a Construction Stormwater General Permit may be needed. The purpose of this letter and the enclosed brochure is to give you and your company a detailed description of the requirements of the Washington State Construction Stormwater General Permit. Construction sites that disturb one or more acres of land in total and discharge (or have the potential to discharge) stormwater from the site into a water of the state are required to apply for the permit. Waters of the state include lakes, rivers, streams, creeks, canals, ponds, inland waters, underground waters, and all other surface waters and water courses. - Ecology encourages and prefers voluntary compliance with state water quality standards. To that end, we offer detailed technical assistance to Permittees and potential permit applicants. Therefore, even if there is only a slight potential for your site to discharge stormwater, applying for the permit is in your best interest. We prefer to not pursue enforcement, but that is the likely course of action without the permit. The enclosed brochure is full of information, but if you have a questions please feel free to contact Bryan Neet at (509) 575 -2808. - Sincerely, Bryan Neet Water Quality Program WA State Department of Ecology Enclosures: Construction Stormwater Brochure DOC.

We have reviewed the environmental checklist and have the following comment. Water Resources 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. Information for the applicant: 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. If you have any questions concerning the Water Resources comments, please contact Breean Zimmerman at (509) 454 -7647. DOC. INDEX RECEIVED • Ms. Wilson , MAR 0 3 2008 February 29, 2008 Page 2 of 2 CITY , OF YAKIMA Water Quality Project Greater -Than 1 Acre with Potential to Discharge Off -Site An NPDES Construction Stormwater General Permit from the Washington State Department of Ecology is required if there is a potential for stormwater discharge from a construction site with more than one acre of disturbed ground. This permit requires that the SEPA checklist fully disclose anticipated activities including building, road construction and utility placements. Obtaining a permit is a minimum of a 38 day process and may take up to 60 days if the original SEPA does not disclose all proposed activities. The permit requires that Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (Erosion Sediment Control Plan) is prepared and implemented for all permitted construction sites. These control measures must be able to prevent soil from being carried into surface water (this includes storm drains) by stormwater runoff. Permit coverage and erosion control • measures must be in place prior to any clearing, grading or construction. More information on the stormwater program may be found on Ecology's stormwater website at: http: / /www.ecy.wa.gov/ programs /wq /stormwater /construction/ .

Chris on this project and since the road will be a private road and not public, it is designated as a Fire Apparatus Access Road. The dimensions for this access road are set in the 2006 International Fire code, chapter 5; subsection 503.2.1. 503.2.1 Dimensions Fire apparatus roads shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 20 feet except for approved security gates in accordance with section 503.6 and an unobstructed verticle clearance of not less than 13 feet 6 inches. Also, with the requirements of a Fire Apparatus Access Road, the following is also mandatory according to the 2006 International Fire Code: D103.6 Signs when required by the fire code official, fire apparatus access roads shall be marked with permanent NO PARKING - FIRE LANE signs complying with Figure D103.6 The fire lane must be maintained at all times and kept clear of traffic, snow, ice, etc. until such time in the future that 72nd Avenue becomes a public street. When this project is built, there must be a mechanism for this private road to be maintained for snow plowing and road surface maintainence: such as development association of homeowners. D103.6.1 Roads 20 to 26 feet in width Fire apparatus access roads 20 to 26 feet wide to 32 feet wide shall be posted on both sides as a fire lane. This fire access road does not require a gate for this road but standards are set in the 2006 International Fire Code: 503.5 Required gates and barricades The fire code official is authorized to require the installation and maintenance of gates or other approved barricades across fire apparatus access roads, trails or other accessways, not including public streets, alleys or highways. If agate is installed on this fire apparatus access road, it must have a 20 foot opening and a Knox Keypad installed with the design and location to be approved by the fire code official with input from the fire department.

I also enclosed the comment that I sent to Jeff Peters. The wording that may help you is highlighted. RCW 52.33.030 was adopted by the city council in 2007. "The City of Yakima has adopted a "Travel Time" standard of 240 seconds (4:00) for the arrival of the first engine company to a fire suppression or emergency mediacal incident, which the department should meet 90% of the time" This speaks to travel time only. That time begins when the engine begins to move, until arrival it arrives at an incident. The "Jump Time" standard is set at 120 seconds (2:00) for an incident. That time begins at the sound of the station alarm to the point that the engine begins to move. • Call me if you need any help with wording. Leave a message if I don't answer and I will call you back. Thanks and GOOD LUCK!

This 18 -lot development requires review under the Transportation Concurrency Ordinance (YMC 12.08). 2. The Preliminary Plat provides the the future extension of South 72nd Avenue in this vicinity. The extension of 72nd Avenue is indicated in Yakima County's West Valley Neighborhood Plan and may continue to Ahtanum Road. This road is envisioned as a 3 -lane street south of Washington Avenue. Currently, 72nd Avenue between Washington Avenue and Coolidge carries an average of 2,100 Average, Daily Vehicle Trips. 3. The connection from this development to Easy Street provides a 21 -foot travel way which appears to be off -set from the existing Easy Street alignment. This development may be asked to improve the right of way adjacent to 6907 Easy Street in order to provide a proper alignment of the public street.

Dear Sir: My family and I live at 6905 Easy Street and have some concerns regarding the Vista Ridge Development. The main access for this 18 lot development sits at the end of a street that has seven Iots and six homes on it with two houses west of the street that use it for access. The road is thirty feet wide without curbs, sidewalks or street lighting. My main concern is for the safety of the people in the neighborhood. Many of the people in the area use our street and the streets around our residence to walk, many of them at sunrise and sunset. This neighborhood also has many children who walk to the bus stop, located at the corner of Occidental Road and South 69 Avenue, using the windy road, which is also without sidewalks or curbs. The developer predicts that the increase in traffic will be approximately 90 trips per day. If the same calculation that predicts 18 homes will produce 90 trips per day is applied to the 6900 block of Easy Street, which currently has six homes on the paved area and two homes to the west which use our street for access, it calculates this section of Easy Street currently has 40 trips per day. I believe this to be fairly accurate. If this prediction for the new development is true, it would more than double traffic on this section of Easy Street alone and does not even show the increase of traffic on the 2200 block of South 69 Avenue and Crestfields Road • from South 64Th Avenue to the 6800 block of Easy Street, both of which are used for access to the development before reaching the section in front our home. This huge increase in traffic may seriously endanger many adults and children who use our street and the streets accessing our streets while they walk or play. I have discussed the issue of safety with many families in our neighborhood and all have agreed, hopefully they have also expressed their concern to you. The City of Yakima and the developer certainly have the right to place the development where it is and, to the best of my knowledge, have the right to use our street as access in some capacity. However, it is also my understanding that there will be gated emergency access from the corner of 72 Avenue and Coolidge Road. My request is that the gated emergency access to the development be placed at the end of the 6900 block of Easy Street and the main access to the Vista Ridge development be placed off of 72 Avenue and Coolidge. This would relieve the traffic from Vista Ridge using the sections of roadway in the Easy Acres development to access larger arterials and make the sections of road in the Easy Acres neighborhood safer for those who use them. If this is not possible we request concessions be made somehow to help mitigate our safety concerns for those who live on Easy Street or 69 Avenue. Thank you for taking the time to review our concerns with this matter. Sincerely, Jonathan Hood 6905 Easy Street • Yakima, WA 98903 DOC.

Dear Mr. Cook: . Thank you for discussing the fire access for Vista Ridge Subdivision during our conversation on April 18, 2008.. As you know the revised preliminary plat for Vista Ridge was submitted to the City with an all - weather fire access from Coolidge to the.proposed Vista Ridge Avenue. This access was included on our plat following the March 17, 2008 meeting •with the DST wherein the fire department requested an emergency access to improve response time. Upon the City's review of the revised plat, we received a notice of incomplete application based on the requirement of a "two -lane paved public access road from Coolidge Road to the plat of Vista Ridge ". Vista Ridge Properties, LLC is requesting the City of Yakima . reconsider this two -lane public access requirement and accept the proposed fire - access previously submitted. During several meetings with the City staff and DST, attended by members of Vista Ridge Properties, LLC, there was no mention of a secondary public access requirement or the desired 72 • extension. Vista Ridge Properties, LLC desires to, provide safe access to our proposed subdivision that complies with the existing City of Yakima Municipal Code. Based on discussions with City staff and the Yakima Fire Department, we feel the fire access submitted as part of the March 25, 2008 revised preliminary plat fulfills the requirements of a minor subdivision and emergency response times. The second public access to our property is above and beyond the requirements for an 18 -lot subdivision and beyond the recommendations of the City's technical review. Vista Ridge Properties, LLC does not own the property from 72 and Coolidge to the proposed subdivision. We do not have the right or ability to condemn the and required for a two lane public access road. During our discussion on April 18, 2008, you indicated that the City may need to_acquire the right - of -way necessary for the 72 extension south to Occidental and fix the connectivity concerns of the area . recently annexed by the City. If the City chooses to purse the additional right -of -way, we request that the plat approval of Vista Ridge Subdivision is not delayed and the SEPA condition. in question is removed. We appreciate your attention on this time sensitive matter. If an official SEPA appeal is necessary, it will need to be filed no later than May 2, 2008. It is our goal to work with the City to come to an expedient resolution that meets the City's requirements while satisfying public safety concerns. Vista Ridge - Subdivision will be a high - quality, 18 -lot subdivision that will be a benefit to the City of Yakima and comply with the Municipal Code. • • Please call me at (303) 763 -0251 if you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter further. We look forward to hearing from you early next week. Sincerely, . • . . • . • . Josh McGibbon, P.E. Vista Ridge Subdivision, LLC DOC.

A DST (Development Services Team) meeting was held regarding your applications on March 5, 2008. After review of your applications and consideration of the DST comments received, your applications were determined to be incomplete as of March 6, 2008. On March 17, 2008 an informal meeting was held to discuss the issues raised through the DST process. On March 25, ,2008 a revised plat of Vista Ridge was submitted that included recommended changes to the plat layout and improvements to the single access point. The revised plat is much improved, however, after further review and . consideration by the DST, your applications still do not sufficiently address the requirements for public safety access. Therefore, your applications have been determined to be incomplete as of April 8, 2008. As noted in my Notice of Incomplete Application dated March 6, 2008, Chapter 58.17 RCW requires that a proposed subdivision must make appropriate provisions for the public health, safety and general welfare of its citizens. This includes streets or roads, alleys, and other public ways, potable water supplies, irrigation, and sanitary waste disposal. Other planning features that assure safe walking conditions for students who walk to and from school (sidewalks) shall also be provided (YMC 14.20.100). In addition, the City of Yakima Subdivsion Ordinance requires that every subdivision shall comply with the goals, policies, and standards of the City of Yakima Comprehensive Plan as it now exists or is hereafter amended (YMC 14.25.020). r Yakima 1 DOC. - [23:6)1T I 1994 N - _ Your revised preliminary plat and Environmental Checklist do not sufficiently address state and local requirements to provide adequate public safety and fire access.
