cc-121003 Red Wine Espresso M E M O R A N D U M City of Yelm Community Development Department Engineering Division   Pre-Application Meeting Date December 10, 2003 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: Rhonda Schaffner Project: Espresso Building Project Location: 704 Yelm Ave W. Yelm, WA 98597 Water  TC \l1 " The proposed site is currently located in the City of Yelm’s water system service area. An existing 8” water main is located in Yelm Ave W and Cullens Rd. This project will be required to connect to this water main. This project will also be required to install a water meter, water meter setter and backflow device. Water fees are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $1,500/240gpd (fee subject to change) inside city limits. This is a one-time charge. 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. Irrigation Meter: An irrigation meter shall be installed for the purpose of irrigation. An approved backflow prevention device will be required for all landscape irrigation connections. Cross Connection Control: Washington State Department of Health, in WAC 246-290-490 states that all group A water systems with 1000 or more connections are required by the department of health to develop and implement a cross control connection program. This program requires all commercial buildings and irrigation systems to have a back flow prevention device installed on the water services. A list of approved devices can be located at the above referenced Washington Administrative Code. Sewer TC \l1 " The proposed site is currently located in the City of Yelm’s STEP sewer system service area. There is an existing 6” sewer main located in the adjacent roadways. This project will be required to connect to this sewer main. The landowner has a sewer application submitted for review. This application will allow a step tank installation and should be sized for your additional capacity. If it is not, this project will have to install a separate step system to serve this use. Sewer hook-up fees are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $5,125/240gpd (fee subject to change) inside city limits. This is a one-time charge. A sewer installation inspection fee is also required. The inspection fee is $145.00. At the time of application submittal you will be required to submit sewer usage calculations provided by a licensed civil engineer. The sewer fees will be calculated using the calculations provided. The civil engineer will also be required to design the step tank and connection to the sewer main. 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. Note: The size of a typical espresso stand may not require fire hydrants. 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 not apparent if this development will trigger the requirement for stormwater mitigation. If stormwater mitigation is required the types of stormwater mitigation may be wet ponds, bioswales 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. If not mitigation is required, the project must contain the stormwater within it boundaries. You cannot allow the stormwater to flow to the adjacent properties. Street Improvements TC \l1 " Frontage improvements shall be consistent with Yelm’s Development Guidelines. These improvements may consist of asphalt widening, curb and gutter, landscape planter, street trees, sidewalk and street lighting. The frontage improvements will be required when the improvements to the existing site will be greater than 60% of the assessed building value. The currently assessed building value is $66,800. The allowed improvements can be up to $40,080. Cullens Road is classified as a “Neighborhood Collector.” This roadway requires a 16’ paved asphalt section, concrete curb and gutter, planter island, 5’ sidewalk and street lighting. This street classification also does not allow on street parking. Yelm Ave West is classified as an “Urban Arterial.” This roadway requires an 11’ paved traffic lane, 12’ center turn lane, 5’ paved bike lane, concrete curb and gutter, planter island, 6’ sidewalk and street lighting. This street classification also does not allow on street parking. 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.
