CV-041305 Longmire Pemberton Duplexs M E M O R A N D U M City of Yelm Community Development Department Engineering Division   Pre-Application Meeting Date April 13, 2005 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: Terry Pemberton Jr. Project: 4 duplexes Project Location: 15218 Longmire St SE Yelm, WA 98597 Street Improvements Frontage improvements shall be consistent with Yelm’s Development Guidelines. These improvements may consist of asphalt widening, curb and gutter, landscape planter, street trees, sidewalk and street lighting. Longmire Street SE is classified as a “Neighborhood Collector” which includes a 16’ paved asphalt drive lane, concrete curb and gutter, a planter strip, a 5’ sidewalk and street lighting. This street classification also does not allow on street parking. This project will be required to construct half street improvement along the frontage of Longmire Street. Improvements will be constructed from the centerline of the right of way, so if this does not leave at least 12’ of pavement drive area opposite the half street improvements, the opposite side roadway must be widened as well. If the property is subdidivided, an internal public road that meets the local access collector standard must be constructed and dedicated to the City. This roadway section includes two 11 foot paved travel lanes, two 7 foot paved parking lanes, concrete curb and gutter, planter islands, a 5’ sidewalk on one side of the street, and street lighting. This street classification allows on-street parking. The required right of way for a local access roadway is 56’. A cul-de-sac of at least 38 foot radius would be required if the street was a dead-end, but the City has a strong connected streets policy that must be addressed in the land use application. If the property is not being subdivided, access to the property would be a commercial driveway approach into a parking lot. Sewer The property is located in the City of Yelm’s sewer system service area but is not currently connected to the sewer system. An existing 4” sewer main is located approx. 60’ west of the intersection of Longmire Street SE and Berry Valley Road. This project will be required to connect to this sewer main and extend it across the property frontage. This project will also be required to install sewer mains along all new proposed roadways within the subdivision. The sewer main sizes will be reviewed as part of the preliminary plat application. Each lot will be required to have a STEP connection box and STEP sewer service. Residential 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 residential connection (fee subject to change) inside city limits. Each residential unit would be charged for one connection. An inspection fee of $145.00 per STEP tank will also be required. These fees are payable a building permit issuance. Stormwater Developments that create over 5,000 square feet of impervious surface are required to provide stormwater facilities pursuant to the 1992 DOE Stormwater Manual. If a stormwater plan is required, the types of stormwater treatment may be wet ponds, bioswale and filter strips. Stormwater disposal is typically 100% infiltration in Yelm through infiltration ponds or underground galleries. All storm water facilities shall be located outside the right of way in a separate tract to be maintained by the homeowners association. At this time sand filters and “alternate technologies” are not permitted. Water This project will be required connect to and extend the water main across the property frontage. This project will also be required to install a water main, fire hydrants, and water meters along all new proposed roadways within the subdivision. The minimum size water main is 8” in diameter within the project limits. The existing water main is located at approx the southeast property corner of this parcel. It is a 6” waterline and when extended will be 8” in diameter. Residential 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. Each residential unit would be charged for one connection. This fee is payable at building permit issuance. An irrigation meter shall be installed for the purpose of irrigation. An approved backflow prevention device will be required for all landscape irrigation connections. The Washington State Department of Health, in WAC 246-290-490 requires that all group A water systems with 1000 or more connections 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. Fire All projects need to have fire protection consisting of access and fire flow to the buildings. These requirements will be reviewed as part of the civil engineering plans, but will most likely consist of fire hydrants and fire lanes. 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 plans.
