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: Top Line Development, Inc Project: Townhouses – 4 units / 2 duplexes Project Location: 210 Yelm Ave W 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 the alley behind the proposed project. This proposal will be credited with one connection for the existing building. 3 Additional connections will be required. Each unit will be required to have a water meter, water meter setter and water meter service. The 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. This fee is payable at building permit issuance. Irrigation Meter: An irrigation meter may 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 sewer main located in the alley behind this project. This project will be required to connect to the sewer main. Each unit will require a step sewer tank system. The project will have 2 separate sewer main taps to connect the tanks. Each tap will have 2 tanks connected to it. Each lot will be required to have a step connection. Sewer connections are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $5,269 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. 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 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 project may not trigger stormwater improvements based on 5,000 square feet however all stormwater will be required to be contained on site. Street Improvements TC \l1 " No frontage improvements will be required at this time. If access is going to be from the unimproved alley behind the project, improvements to the alley will be required. The alley will have to be paved with 2’ asphalt and min of 2” crushed rock. 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.
