Project: Massage Therapy in the Blue Bottle Expresso Building
Project Location: 309 East Yelm Avenue Yelm, WA 98597 Tax Parcel Number 22719341901
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 back flow prevention device will be required to be installed on the water services.
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 possible that a larger S.T.E.P. tank will be required for the proposed use. Your engineer will need to provide anticipated peak flows calculations as part of civil plan review
in order to determine if a larger tank is needed. TC \l1 "
A grease trap was required for the conversion of the building from retail to food service. If this has not been installed, it will be required before any land use approval is issued
for an expanded use of the facility. TC \l1 "
Fire
Fire protection to the buildings must be provided per the Uniform Building Code. There is an existing Fire Hydrant at the southwest corner of the intersection of Yelm Avenue East and
4th Street, but this hydrant does not provide adequate fire coverage. Additional hydrants may 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, which requires a 12 foot two way left turn lane, an 11 foot travel lane,
a 5 foot bike lane, a 7 foot planter strip with street trees, and a 5 foot sidewalk. Half street improvements will be required to be constructed along the frontage of this property
before occupancy.
Street Lighting TC \l1 "
Street lighting will not be required for this project.
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.
