Proponent: Doug Huntington Project: Convert Existing House to Professional Office Building Project Location: 14845 Yelm Ave W Yelm, WA 98597 Water The proposed site is not currently connected to the City of Yelm’s water system. An existing 10” diameter water main is located in Yelm Ave. You will be required to connect to the water main and install a water meter. The water meter will need to be sized by your civil engineer. Water hook-up 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. 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. Before connecting to the water main you will be required to pay a latecomers fee. This fee is $1,884.45. TC \l1 " If there is a well on-site, you will be required to decommission the well in accordance with Department of Ecology and Thurston County. You will also be required to relinquish any water rights to the city. 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 not currently connected to the City of Yelm’s STEP sewer system. An existing 4” STEP sewer main is located in Yelm Ave. You will be required to connect to the City’s STEP system. This will require a new step sewer tank and pumping system. I have attached a detailed sketch showing what may be required. Sewer hook-up fees are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $5,269.00/240gpd (fee subject to change) inside city limits. At the time of application submittal you will be required to submit water usage calculations provided by a licensed civil engineer. The sewer fees will be calculated using the calculations provided. TC \l1 " The on-site sewer septic system will be required to be removed per Article IV of the Thurston County Department of Health guidelines. 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. 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. Street Improvements TC \l1 " Frontage improvements are not required for this project at this time. However, these improvements may be required if your building improvements are greater then 60% of the assessed building value. The assessed value of the building is $39,000. This information was provided by Thurston County’s Tax records. (02/04/04). The applicant may be required to dedicated additional right-of-way for future improvements. 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.
