Pre-Application Meeting
May 16, 2007
***These comments are preliminary in nature and are not intended to represent final comments and or requirements for the City of Yelm. Until a complete application is made, the planning
and/or public works department can only attempt to inform the applicant of general requirements as they appear in the form presented by the applicant at the time of pre-submission.
Proponent: Cenex Supply & Marketing
Representative: Fred Benz
Project Proposal: New liquid propane distribution facility.
Project Location: West side of Rhoton Road at the intersection of Rhoton and N.P. Road.
Zoning: Industrial District (I), Chapter 17.40
Minimum Lot Size - 10,000 sq. ft.
Setbacks: Front yard - 15' from R-O-W
Rear Yard - 15'
Side yard - 15'
Parking: Chapter 17.72. 1 space per employee based on the greatest number of employees on a single shift, plus; one quare foot parking per square foot of display or retail area, plus;
one space for each vehicle owned, leased or operated by the company.
Loading: Chapter 17.72. None if the warehouse building is not being used. If the warehouse is used for the operation of the distribution facility, 2 loading areas are required for
buildings between 5,000 and 25,000 sf.
Traffic: The City has adopted a Transportation Facility Charge (TFC) of $750.00 per pm peak trip. The Ordinance provides a default table that the applicant can typically use to determine
new pm trips generated by the purposed use. However, the closet category, Warehousing/Storage, does not provide an adequate relationship between the purposed use and the formula for
new trips. The Warehousing/Storage rate is .74 per 1,000 sf of gross floor area. Staff will work with the applicant to determine the number of new trips and the appropriate TFC.
SEPA: If the warehouse is proposed to be used as a part of the facility an environmental
checklist is required for all buildings in excess of 4,000 sq. ft.
Other: Thurston County Health Department Review for compliance with Hazardous Waste Ordinance. Please contact Donna Freier, Thurston County Environmental Health Department.
