cr-031704 Used Car at El Patio M E M O R A N D U M City of Yelm Community Development Department Engineering Division   Pre-Application Meeting March 17, 2004 Civil Engineering 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: John Strong Project: Used Car Lot at El Patio Project Location: 17020 SR 507 SE Yelm, WA 98597 Water The proposed site is currently not connected to the City of Yelm’s water system. The proposed office will have to be connected to a public water supply. You have two choices to meet this requirement. Extend the City of Yelm’s public water system to serve your needs or connect to a public water well that my already be onsite. The City of Yelm’s water system is located at the intersection of Grove and SR 507. The project would have to extend the 10’ waterline to your project and crossed its frontage. 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. Connection fees will be calculated using the information provided by your engineer. You may be able to connect to an existing public water supply already onsite. I am not sure of the status of the existing well located on this property. However this well would need to be classified as a public water system currently. The City of Yelm will not allow a new public water system to develop within the water service area. Sewer TC \l1 " The proposed site is currently not connected to the City of Yelm’s S.T.E.P. sewer system. This proposal also has two options for service. Extend the City of Yelm’s public sewer system to the proposed project or apply for a Thurston County Approved onsite septic disposal system. The City of Yelm’s public sewer system is located at approx. the intersection of Bald Hills Road and SR 507. This sewer line would have to be extended to the proposed project. After extending the sewer main, you will be required to install the standard STEP tank system to serve your use. 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. Fire Fire protection to the buildings must be provided per the Uniform Building Code. Without a water system to provide fire hydrant coverage you will need to meet with the Building Official to determine the fire protection requirements. 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. Street Improvements TC \l1 " Frontage improvements will be required for this project. SR 507 is identified as an Urban Arterial roadway. The required improvements would be a center turn lane, travel lanes, concrete curb and gutter, a planter strip with street trees, and a sidewalk. Half street improvements will be required to be constructed along the frontage of this property before occupancy. See attached detail for exact improvements. Street Lighting TC \l1 " Street lighting may be required for this project and will be reviewed upon civil engineering application. 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.
