cc-111903 Roller Skating Rink M E M O R A N D U M City of Yelm Community Development Department Engineering Division   Pre-Application Meeting Date August 7, 2002 Civil Comments 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 Community Development 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: Bridgette Phillps Project: Roller-skating Rink Project Location: Location unknown at this time Yelm, WA 98597 Note: These comments are written with the preface that the project is within the city limits and utilities are available in the adjoining roadway. Water  TC \l1 " In most sites you research there will be some water system improvements required to serve the projects needs. Is the public water system located at the property line, has the service line and meter setter been installed and is there a back flow prevention device behind the water meter setter. If any of these items are not in place they will be required with this project. Some properties within the city have latecomers agreements assessed to the tax parcel. These fees are for the water or sewer system installation (by other developers) serving your land parcel. Water connection fees are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $1,500/240 gpd (fee subject to change) inside the City limits. At the time of application submittal you will be required to submit water usage calculations provided by a licensed civil engineer and the water fees will be calculated using the information provided by the engineer. The water connection fee is a one-time fee for connection to the city’s public water system. Sewer TC \l1 " The public sewer system operates very similar to the water system and you should look for the same type of issues. Is the public sewer system located at the property line, has the service line been installed to the property, is the S.T.E.P. sewer system adequately sized for the intended use. If any of the above items are not addressed the project may be required to install it or retrofit the deficiency. Sewer connection fees are based on the water consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $5,125/240 gpd (fee subject to change, rates will increase by 3% on Jan 1, 2004) inside the City limits. At the time of application submittal you will be required to submit water usage calculations provided by a licensed civil engineer and the sewer connection charges will be calculated using the information provided by the engineer. If this project is intending to serve food or have a kitchen facility, it may trigger the need for a grease trap to be installed as part of the sewer system. Prior to operation, a copy of the menu and kitchen plans should be submitted to the County Health Department for review should be submitted to the Community Development Department in order to determine if a grease trap is required. TC \l1 " Fire All projects need to have fire protection for the buildings. When reviewing proposals or projects for compliance with the 1997 Uniform Fire Code (UFC) the following need to be addressed: Does the proposal have fire hydrant coverage? To meet this requirement the building must have coverage by fire hydrants. All parts of the buildings must be within 150’ of a fire hydrant. If the building does not have fire hydrant coverage a fire lane may be utilized to allow access by the fire fighting equipment. Another means of meeting fire code may be by installing a fire sprinkler system. These are all options to meet the UFC however it is unknown what the actually requirements maybe without the building type or site plan to review. It may take a combination of the above reference options to meet the UFC code. Stormwater TC \l1 " Developments with over 5,000 square feet of impervious surface are required to provide stormwater facilities pursuant to the DOE Stormwater Manual. It is apparent that any type of development with a skating rink will trigger the requirement for stormwater mitigation. The types of stormwater mitigation or ponds are wet ponds, bioswale and filter strips. The stormwater disposal is 100% infiltration. There is 2 ways to accomplish this: open ponds and underground galleries. The open ponds are depressions that store stormwater and allow it to perk back into the underground aquifer. The galleries also do the same job however these can be located under parking areas and cost more to install. The project engineer will decide which option is best for your proposed project. Street Improvements TC \l1 " Frontage improvements are a difficult topic to discuss without a parcel of land in mind. This proposal 99% of the time will be required to install frontage improvements. These improvements may include concrete curb and gutter, sidewalk, planter strips, street trees, street lighting and pavement widening. At this time sizes and exact requirements cannot be discussed because different streets have different requirements. We can discuss some typical street sections but they will not be project specific. 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 architectural plans.
