RE: Mt. Shadow Subdivision - SUB-05-0011-YL
Third Review of Civil – Site Construction Documents
Mr. Sherwin:
The City of Yelm has completed the initial review of the proposed subdivision. Your application included:
Construction Documents dated March 16, 2006
Stormwater Report dated March 16, 2006
We have reviewed the plans for compliance with the City of Yelm Development Guidelines, the DOE Stormwater Manual and general standards of civil engineering practice. The following
comments need to be addressed before the plans may be approved for construction. Our comments are summarized below:
Stormwater Report:
The report shows 6 acres to be infiltrated roof areas. That would require each lot to have a roof area of approx. 3200 square feet or 40’ by 80’ foot print. The typically foot print
that is being built is 38’x40’. Please account for the remaining basin area.
Landscape and Irrigation Plan:
Reviewed separately and an additional letter will follow.
Please review and revise the plans to address the above referenced comments. When the project is resubmitted you will need to submit 4 sets of plans, 2 stormwater reports. The project
engineer should include a written response with the resubmittal, indicating how all the review comments above have been addressed or responded to. This will significantly expedite our
review of the project. If you have any additional questions or comments please do not hesitate to call or contact me at jimg@ci.yelm.wa.us.
