Water
The proposed site would be required to connect to the City's water system. There is an existing 10” water main located in 104th Avenue SE. If each lot has frontage on 104th Avenue,
taps and meters will be required along the frontage along with required fire hydrants. If an internal road is proposed, the development’s internal roadways will be required to have
8” water main installed to serve fire hydrants and home services.
Residential water connections are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $1,500 per a residential connection (fee subject to change) inside city
limits. Each residential unit would be charged for one connection. This is a one-time connection fee and is payable a building permit issuance. Also there is a water meter fee of
$300.00 per a meter (5/8” residential meter size only).
An irrigation meter may be installed for the purpose of irrigation. A backflow prevention device will be required for all landscape irrigation connections. Any irrigation system installed
will need to have a back flow prevention device between the irrigation system and the city owned water meter. This also includes any private irrigation systems that may be located on
each home lot.
This tax parcel number has been assessed a water latecomer’s fee. The water latecomer’s fee is $11,496.08. This will be due and payable at final subdivision application.
Sewer
The proposed site would be required to connect to the City's S.T.E.P. sewer system. The existing sewer line is located in 104th Ave SE and is 6” is size. This project will be required
to tap the sewer main for each lot fronting on 104th Avenue or, if internal streets are proposed, extend the sewer within the project boundaries.
Residential sewer connections are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $5,125.00 per a residential connection (fee subject to change) inside
city limits. Each residential unit would be charged for one connection.
An inspection fee of $145.00/lot will be charged for S.T.E.P. sewer system. These fees are payable a building permit issuance and are one-time connection fees.

Fire
Fire protection must be provided per the Uniform Fire Code. There will be requirements for installation of fire hydrants, fire truck access and fire truck turn-around. These will be
determined upon further review of the preliminary plans.
Stormwater
This project will require storm drainage treatment and disposal of all stormwater. The stormwater manual currently used is the 1992 Department of Ecology Stormwater Manual. The project
area and all frontage improvements must have stormwater controls designed and installed. All of the stormwater facilities are required to be located outside of the right-of-way. At
the time of preliminary subdivision application, you are required to submit a preliminary stormwater plan and report.
Street Improvements
Frontage improvements shall be consistent with Yelm’s Development Guidelines. Your project will be required to improve the frontage along 104th Avenue SE. These improvements are classified
as “half street” improvements where the roadway already exists. If the roadway is not constructed in the center of right of way, the project will be required in complete the half street
improvements on the project side and 12’ drive aisle on the opposite side, if required. 104th Avenue SE is classified as a Local Access Residential roadway, although this classification
will be reviewed as part of the Traffic Impact Analysis being prepared for the adjacent 40 lot subdivision. Based on the traffic projections on 104th, required frontage improvements
could be more typical of a Neighborhood Collector.
Any internal roadways will be classified as Local Access Residential streets. These streets shall connect the existing 104th Avenue SE.
Street Lighting
Street lighting shall be designed and installed as required per the City of Yelm’s Development Guidelines. The street lighting plan will be reviewed and approved at the time of civil
engineering plan review.
ADA Requirements
The American Disabilities Act requires the improvements to be ADA accessible. Facility improvements will have to meet current code. Review of these improvements will be determined
upon further review of the civil plans.
