cc-122904 412 West Rd house conversion vet M E M O R A N D U M City of Yelm Community Development Department Engineering Division   Pre-Application Meeting Date December 29, 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: Radka Busina Project: Convert Existing House to Veterinarian Office Project Location: 412 West Road SE Yelm, WA 98597 Water The proposed site is currently not connected to the City of Yelm’s water system. This project will need to install a water service from the existing water main to the property line. See the attached detail. The fee for the water meter is based on the new meter size. It is the engineer’s responsibility to provide sizing calculations and meter sizes. If additional water connections are needed, 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 connection (fee subject to change) inside city limits. Water fees are payable at building permit issuance. Irrigation Meter: An irrigation meter may 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. The existing sewer main is located in West Road and your project will be required to connect to this utility. You will need to install a sewer service, tank, pumps and pump control panel. 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. This building will be credited with one sewer connection. 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 (UFC) 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’ hose pull 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 Fire Marshal during the site plan review process. Stormwater TC \l1 " Developments with a significant amount of impervious surfaces 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 will be required. The project engineer will have to design the stormwater facilities. Street Improvements TC \l1 " The proposed use is considered a “change of use” from the previous use; therefore frontage improvements will be required for this project. West Road is classified as a “neighborhood collector” roadway. The half street improvements would include 18’ asphalt, concrete curb and gutter, 6’ planter strip and 5’ sidewalk. These roadway improvements will be required before the building can be issued final for occupancy. 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.
