cc-121504 Iverson Gym on 103rd M E M O R A N D U M City of Yelm Community Development Department Engineering Division   Pre-Application Meeting Date December 15, 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: Desmond Iverson Project: Expansion of Existing Site – Addition of New Building (Gym) Project Location: 407 103rd Ave Yelm, WA 98597 Water The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s water system. An existing 6” or 8” diameter water main is located in 103rd Ave right of way. The size depends on location along the frontage of this site. The project will have to submit water consumption calculation for the expansion of use. These calculations will be used for estimating the connection fees associated with the expansion of the buildings. The existing water use is averaging 1,900 cubic feet a month. Commercial water connections are based on a consumption rate of 900 cubic feet a month and are charged at a rate of $1,500 per a residential connection (fee subject to change) inside city limits. The existing well must be disconnected and decommissioned per the Department of Ecology specifications. Irrigation Meter(s) and Cross Control Connections: An irrigation meter shall be installed for the purpose of irrigation. An approved backflow prevention device will be required for all landscape irrigation connections. 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 4” STEP sewer main located in 103rd Ave right of way. This project will be required to convert the existing on-site disposal system to a City of Yelm STEP sewer tank assembly. This connection will include a tank(s), pump system, service line etc as necessary to meet the current City of Yelm sewer code. Commercial sewer connections are based on a consumption rate of 900 cubic feet a month and are charged at a rate of $5,417 per a connection (fee subject to change) inside city limits. An inspection fee of $145.00 per a connection will also be required. The existing water use is averaging 1,900 cubic feet a month. Utilizing this usage number the connection fee for the existing site may be $16,251.00 and $435.00 inspection fee. This fee is only for the connection. The site is still required to install the underground step tank(s). 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. Street Improvements TC \l1 " Frontage improvements will be required for this project. 103rd Ave is classified as “Commercial Collector” roadway. This classification of roadway will require the half street pavement section of the roadway to be 16’ in width, concrete curb and gutter, planter strip and 5’ sidewalk. The required right of way will be 28’ in width. Driveway spacing will have to be addressed during the site plan review process. Parking Lots and drive isles must be paved and meet the City of Yelm standards for widths and lengths. See details attached to these notes. 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. 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. This will be reviewed by the Building Official.
