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: Darren Buck and Bill Ostoruske Project: 34 Lot Subdivision with 12 Townhomes Project Location: 16440 SE Middle Road Yelm, WA 98597 Water  TC \l1 " The proposed site is currently located in the City of Yelm’s water system service area. An existing 10” water main is located in Middle Road. This project will be required to connect to this water main. This project will also be required to install a min. of 8” water mains along all new proposed roadways within the subdivision. Each lot will be required to have a water meter, water meter setter and water meter service. 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 fee is payable at building permit issuance. 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 Middle Road. This project will be required to connect to this sewer main. This project will also be required to install sewer mains along all new proposed roadways within the subdivision. The sewer main sizes will be reviewed on the preliminary plat application. Each lot will be required to have a step connection box and step sewer service. Residential sewer connections are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $5,269.00 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 per a STEP sewer system will also be required. These fees are payable a building permit issuance. 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 300’ of a fire hydrant. Another means of meeting fire code may be by installing a fire sprinkler system in each residence. Stormwater TC \l1 " Developments with over 5,000 square feet of impervious surface are required to provide stormwater facilities pursuant to the 1992 DOE Stormwater Manual. If stormwater mitigation is required the types of stormwater mitigation may be wet ponds, bioswales and filter strips. The stormwater disposal is typically 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. Note: This site is known to have high ground water due to the proximity of Yelm Creek. The storm water code requires 3’ of separation from the infiltrative surface to the winter-time high ground water level. 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. Middle 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. Internal plat roads will be classified as a “Local Access Residential.” This roadway requires paved traffic lanes, paved parking lanes, concrete curb and gutter, planter island, 5’ sidewalk and street lighting. This street classification allows on street parking. The site plan entrance to the east appears needs to have the entering and stopping site distance measured. As presented, the distances appear to be shorter than required. 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.
