City limits. Each residential unit would be charged for one connection. This fee is payable at building permit issuance.
An irrigation meter must be installed for the irrigation system required for common landscaping. An approved backflow prevention device will be required for all landscape irrigation
connections. A list of approved devices can be located at the above referenced Washington Administrative Code.

Fire
All subdivisions must provide fire protection for the buildings, with adequate coverage by fire hydrants. All parts of the buildings must be within 300’ of a fire hydrant with sufficient
flows to meet the Fire Codes. Fire hydrant locations will be reviewed at the time of civil plan review after preliminary subdivision 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. The types of stormwater mitigation
may be wet ponds, bioswales and filter strips. The stormwater disposal is typically 100% infiltration through the use of open ponds or underground galleries. The submitted site plan
did not show an means of stormwater treatment and disposal, which will have to be addressed at the time of application, along with a preliminary stormwater report.
Note: This site could have high ground water due to the proximity of Yelm Creek and the power canal. The storm water code requires 3’ of separation from the infiltrative surface to
the winter-time high ground water level.
Street Improvements TC \l1 "
Frontage improvements must be consistent with Yelm’s Development Guidelines.
Crystal Springs Road is classified as a “Neighborhood Collector”, which requires a 16’ paved asphalt section, concrete curb and gutter, planter island, 5’ sidewalk and street lighting.
This street classification also does not allow on street parking.
Internal plat roads will be classified as a “Local Access Residential”, which requires paved traffic lanes, paved parking lanes, concrete curb and gutter, planter island, 5’ sidewalk
and street lighting. This street classification allows on street parking.
Details of the proposed entrance and access to the lot from Crystal Springs Road will need further review.
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.
