Pre-Application Meeting
Civil Comments
Date June 6, 2001
***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: Yelm community Schools
Project: Convert ex. Retail building into school
Project Loc: First St. and Jefferson St
Water:
The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s water system. An existing 6” diameter water main is located in First St and this building is served by a 1 ½” water meter.
This water meter size appears to be sufficient for your intended use, however, must be verified by your civil engineer. Water hook-up fees are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons
per day and are charged at a rate of $1,000/240gpd (fee subject to change) inside city limits. At the time of application submittal you will be required to submit water usage calculations
provided by a licensed civil engineer. The water fees will be calculated using the calculations provided.
Sewer:
The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s STEP sewer system. This site is served by a 4” STEP sewer main located in Jefferson St. On the proposed site is a 3,000-gallon
sewer STEP tank behind the building. It appears that this tank will be large enough to support your intended building use, however, must be verified by your licensed civil engineer.
(200 students) Sewer hook-up fees are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $4,850/240gpd (fee subject to change) inside city limits. At the
time of application submittal you will be required to submit water usage calculations provided by a licensed civil engineer. The sewer fees will be calculated using the calculations
provided.
Fire:
Fire protection to the buildings must be provided per the Uniform Building Code. There may be existing fire hydrants on this site, however, additional hydrants will be required to
meet current standards. This will be determined upon further review of the civil plans. The existing fire hydrants are located at the intersections of Van trump/First St. and Yelm
Ave/Hwy 507.
Stormwater:
Developments with over 5,000 sq ft of impervious surface are required to provide stormwater facilities per the DOE Stormwater Manual. Preliminary Stormwater Report and conceptual plan
must be submitted with land use application.
The existing site has had stormwater flooding problems in the past. It appears the current stormwater control structures and underground galleries do not control the stormwater runoff.
This site is contributing to adjacent downstream flooding along Jefferson St. and will have to be brought up to current standards. The current standards are based on the Department
of Ecology Stormwater manual.
Street Improvements:
There are frontage improvements required for this project. Frontage improvements shall be consistent with Yelm’s Development Guidelines. Half street improvements will be required on
Second St and shall be consistent with the section “Local Access Commercial.” Full Roadway improvements will be required on Jefferson St. an shall be consistent with the section “Local
Access Commercial.”
Street improvements are not limited to the roadway sections shown in the Development Guidelines. Additional improvements identified in the TIA maybe necessary to mitigate the impacts
of the development.
Street Lighting:
As required per the City of Yelm Development Guidelines.
ADA Requirements:
The American Disabilities Act required that facilities are ADA accessible. Facility improvements will have to meet current code. Review of these improvements will be determined upon
further review of the civil and architecture plans.
