Project Location: 109 SE Van Trump Ave
Yelm, WA 98597
Water
The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s water system. When a change of use is proposed it is a applicants responsibility to provide the City water usage calculations
that show if the water usage will increase or decrease with the new proposed use
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 or tenant 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 connected to the City of Yelm’s STEP sewer system.
The city will use the provided water use calculations to estimate the increase sewer connection fees.
During the previous remodel the City of Yelm issued a letter that discussed the location and size of the step tank. If the proposed bed and breakfast is undertaken then the step tank
must be brought into conformance.
If additional 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 at building permit
issuance.
Fire
All projects need to have fire protection for the buildings. This will be reviewed by the Building Official during the site plan review process.
Stormwater TC \l1 "
The City of Yelm has adopted the 1992 Department of Ecology Stormwater Manual for Western Washington. This manual along with the adopted city policies will be used to regulate the design
of stormwater facilities.
All street improvements must have stormwater mitigation designed for the improvements.
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. Van Trump Ave and 2nd St are classified as
“Local Access Commercial” roadways. 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 Certificate of Occupancy. Please see attached roadway detail for additional information.
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.
