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: Timberland Bank – Street, Lundgren and Foster
Project: Remodel and expand existing building and site
Project Location: 101 Yelm Ave West
Yelm, WA 98597
Water
The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s water system. When expanding a business, if the water usage is expected to increase the applicant will have to purchase
additional water connections.
Commercial water connections are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $1,500 per a connection (fee subject to change) inside city limits. This
existing building will be credited with its current average usage. Additional water fees are payable at building permit issuance.
Irrigation Meter:
An irrigation meter has been installed and does have a double check valve. This valve will need to be recertified. The certification has an annual requirement.
Sewer TC \l1 "
The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s STEP sewer system. A 1,000-gallon STEP sewer tank located between the building and the railroad right of way serves this
site. At this time, it is not apparent if this tank will be large enough to support your intended expansion. A licensed civil engineer must verify the tank size.
If additional sewer connections are required they will be based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged at a rate of $5,269 per a connection (fee subject to
change) inside city limits. An inspection fee of $145.00 per a connection will also be required. This building will be credited with the current average use. Additional connection 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. Another means of meeting fire code may be by installing
a fire sprinkler system or utilizing fire lanes for fire truck access. This shall be reviewed by your architect and submitted to the City of Yelm Fire Marshal or his assigned for approval.
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.
This project will be considered as a retrofit project and some stormwater controls may be required. The project engineer will have to address the stormwater facilities and submit appropriate
information.
Street Improvements TC \l1 "
This proposal in located on the intersection of SR 510 and SR 507. These roadways are classified as Urban Arterials. The project frontage improvements have been completed previously.
The access points for this proposal will remain in the same location and operate the same as they have in the passed. The access from SR 510 will be a right in and right out only.
The access from SR 507 will be a full access.
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.
