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.
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.
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. Your frontage improvements would be along the cul-de-sac. During the Yelm Ave E project a sidewalk will be installed around the cul-de-sac on Morris Road. Your
project will be required to install the landscaping and
street trees along this sidewalk. The E. Yelm Ave frontage improvements will be completed as part of the WSDOT Yelm Ave roadway project. These street classifications do not allow on-street
parking.
A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) may be required for your project. The TIA will be required if your project is going to create more than 20 peak pm trips. A peak pm trip is considered
a car going or coming to your business from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Additional improvements identified in the TIA maybe necessary to mitigate the impacts of the development.
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.
