cr-072104 Benum 80 lot Subdivision M E M O R A N D U M City of Yelm Community Development Department Engineering Division   Pre-Application Meeting Date July 21, 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: Bob Benum Project: 80 Lot Subdivision Project Location: Intersection of Canal and Wilkensen Tax Parcels 22718440600 and 22718440100 Yelm, WA 98597 Water The proposed site would be required to connect and extend the existing City water system. There will be an existing water line located in Wilkensen Road, southeast of your project. You would be required to extend the 10” waterline from the intersection of Canal and Wilkensen, to the northwestern corner of your property at Canal Road. You will also be required to install an 8” (min) waterline into your subdivision to connect all future lots and fire hydrant(s). Residential 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. Each residential unit would be charged for one connection. This fee is payable at building permit issuance. Irrigation Meter: An irrigation meter shall 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 4” sewer main being installed in Wilkensen Road. This project will be required to connect to this sewer main and extend it to the northwest corner of your property along Canal Road. The sewer will be connected at the intersection of Canal Road and Wilkensen. This project will also be required to install sewer mains along all new proposed roadways within the subdivision. The sewer main sizes will be reviewed on the preliminary plat application. Each lot will be required to have a step connection box and step sewer service. Residential 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 International Fire Code (IFC) 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 330’ of a fire hydrant. Another means of meeting fire code may be by installing a fire sprinkler system system in each home. 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. Your project will be required to improve the your frontage along Wilkensen Road and Canal Road. These improvements are classified as “half street” improvements. This mean you are required to improve the street from the center of the right-of-way to your property line. The required improvements shall be consistent with the “neighborhood collector” roadway section per the city’s development guidelines. Your project will be required to dedicate at least 28’ to build the frontage improvements (if not already dedicated). All interior roads shall be consistent with the city’s “local access residential” roadway section per the city’s development guidelines. I have attached a copy to these notes. Street improvements may not be limited to above requirements. The required TIA may also require additional improvements. 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. Street Lighting: Street lighting shall be installed as required per the City of Yelm’s “Development Guidelines”. The street lighting plan will be reviewed at the time of civil engineering plan review. ADA Requirements: The American Disabilities Act requires the improvements to be ADA accessible. Facility improvements will have to meet current code. Review of these improvements will be determined upon further review of the civil plans.
