cc-012804 Woods Espresso M E M O R A N D U M City of Yelm Community Development Department Engineering Division   Pre-Application Meeting Date January 28, 2004 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: Mike Wood Project: Espresso Building Project Location: Yelm Ave and Clark Road Yelm, WA 98597 Water The proposed site is currently located in the City of Yelm’s water system service area. An existing water main is located in Yelm Ave E. This project will also be required to install a water meter, water meter setter and backflow device if not already installed. 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 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 (if required). 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. The property is currently being served by a sewer service. The espresso stand will be required to connect to the existing step service line and install a simplex STEP sewer system for the proposed use. Sewer hook-up fees are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $5,269/240gpd (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. 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. Most of the frontage improvements have been completed. There appears to be a section missing from Clark Road to the property line. At this time, a deferment may be allowed as long as the access from Clark Road operates adequately. Clark 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 East frontage improvements are completed. 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.
