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: Dick Rohde
Project: Construct a Transmission Shop
Project Location: Yelm Avenue West, adjacent to Shell Station.
Yelm, WA 98597
Water
The proposed site is currently not connected to the City of Yelm’s water system. An existing 6” diameter water main is located in the Yelm Ave West right of way. This project will
be required to connect to City water services.
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 residential connection (fee subject to change) inside city
limits.
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 not connected to the City of Yelm’s STEP sewer system. This site is served by a 6” STEP sewer main located in the alley behind this parcel.
This project will be required to install a City of Yelm STEP sewer tank assembly and an oil/water separator before the STEP tank.
Commercial sewer connections are 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.
Fire
All projects need to have fire protection for the buildings. When reviewing proposals or projects for compliance with the International Fire Code, 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 150’of a fire hydrant.
Another means of meeting fire code may be by installing a fire sprinkler system or utilizing fire lanes for fire truck access.
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 infiltrate back into the underground aquifer.
Street Improvements TC \l1 "
Frontage improvements will be required for this project. Yelm Ave West is classified as an “Urban Arterial” roadway. This classification of roadway will require the half street pavement
section of the roadway to be 22’ in width, concrete curb and gutter, planter strip and 5’ sidewalk. The required right of way will be 36’ in width. Driveway spacing will have to be
addressed during the site plan review process.
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.
