cc-021704 216 Yelm Avenue M E M O R A N D U M City of Yelm Community Development Department Engineering Division   Pre-Submission Meeting February 18, 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: Tom Lambert Project: Convert Residence to Office and Apartments Project Location: 216 Yelm Avenue East Water  TC \l1 " The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s water system as a single Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). Water connection fees are based on a consumption rate of an ERU (240 gallons per day) and are charged at a rate of $1,500/ERU (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 for the proposed commercial use of the property and each residential will require a separate connection fee. Connection fees will be calculated using the information provided by your engineer. A new ¾” pre-tapped, pre-plumbed water meter is currently $300, while larger meters are more expensive. The size and location of new water meters will be reviewed during civil plan review. Sewer  TC \l1 " The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s S.T.E.P. sewer system. Sewer connection fees are based on the same ERU as water and are charged at a rate of $5,269/ERU (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 information provided by the engineer. It is likely that a larger S.T.E.P. tank will be required for the proposed use. Your engineer will need to provide aniticipated peak flows calcluations as part of civil plan review in order to determine if a larger tank is needed. TC \l1 " Fire  TC \l1 " Fire protection to the buildings must be provided per the Uniform Building Code. There are fire hydrants located near intersection of 2nd and Yelm Avenue and 3rd and Yelm Avenue, but these hydrants do provide adequate fire coverage. Additional hydrants may will be required to provide adequate fire coverage. The location of required hydrants will be determined as part of the civil plan review. TC \l1 " Stormwater  TC \l1 " If the project creates over 5,000 square feet of impervious surface, a preliminary stormwater plan will be required at the time of land use application and a final plan at the time of civil plan review. The City has adopted the 1992 Department of Ecology Stormwater Manual. If a stormwater plan is not required, stormwater runoff still may not be concentrated and discharged to the ground or to adjacent properties, including public rights-of-way. Required landscaping areas may not be used for stormwater treatment. TC \l1 " Street Improvements TC \l1 " Frontage improvements will be required for this project. Yelm Avenue East is identified as an urban arterial and further as a pedestrian oriented street, which requires a 12 foot two way left turn lane, an 11 foot travel lane, a 5 foot bike lane and a 12 foot sidewalk with tree grates for street trees. Half street improvements will be required to be constructed along the frontage of this property before occupancy. In order to utilize the alleyway for access, it must be paved to City standards from 2nd Street to 3rd Street and signed as a one-way access. Street Lighting TC \l1 " Street lighting probably will not be required of this project, although a final determination will be made during civil plan review. ADA Requirements The American Disabilities Act required that facilities are ADA accessible, which includes an accessible pat of travel from ADA parking stalls to the building and from the sidewalk to the building. Review of ADA requirements will be conducted as part of civil plan review.
