Civil Engineering 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: Blue Bottle Espresso
Project: Expansion of Business – Outside Seating
Project Location: 309 East Yelm Avenue Yelm, WA 98597 Tax Parcel Number 22719341901
Water
The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s water system as a single Equivalent Residential Unit (ERU). Water connection fees are based on a consumption rate of an
ERU (900 cubic feet a month) and are charged at a rate of $1,500/ERU (fee subject to change) inside city limits. At the time of application submittal you will be required to submit
water usage calculations provided by a licensed civil engineer for the proposed commercial use of the property. Connection fees will be calculated using the information provided by
your engineer.
A back flow prevention device will be required to be installed on the water services.
Sewer TC \l1 "
The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s S.T.E.P. sewer system. Sewer connection fees are based on the same ERU as water and are charged at a rate of $5,417/ERU
(fee subject to change) inside city limits. At the time of application submittal you will be required to submit water usage calculations provided by a licensed civil engineer. The
sewer fees will be calculated using the information provided by the engineer.
It is possible that a larger S.T.E.P. tank will be required for the proposed expansion. Your engineer will need to provide anticipated peak flows calculations as part of civil plan
review in order to determine if a larger tank is needed. TC \l1 "
A grease trap was required for the conversion of the building from retail to food service. If this has not been installed, it will be required before any land use approval is issued
for an expanded use of the facility. TC \l1 "
Fire
Fire protection to the buildings must be provided per the International Fire Code. There is an existing Fire Hydrant at the southwest corner of the intersection of Yelm Avenue East
and 4th Street. Additional hydrants may be required to provide adequate fire coverage. The building official will review the requirements to meet the current fire code.
Stormwater TC \l1 "
If the project creates over 5,000 square feet of impervious surface, a preliminary stormwater plan will be required at the time of land use application and a final plan at the time of
civil plan review. The City has adopted the 1992 Department of Ecology Stormwater Manual. If a stormwater plan is not required, stormwater runoff still may not be concentrated and
discharged to the ground or to adjacent properties, including public rights-of-way. Required landscaping areas may not be used for stormwater treatment. TC \l1 "
Street Improvements TC \l1 "
Frontage improvements will be required for this project. Half street improvements will be required to be constructed as part of the expansion of the building. Yelm Avenue East is identified
as an urban arterial, which requires a ½ of a 12 foot two way left turn lane, an 11 foot travel lane, a 5 foot bike lane, a 7 foot planter strip with street trees, and a 5 foot sidewalk.
When designing this improvement the stormwater must be accounted for within the design.
Street Lighting TC \l1 "
Street lighting will not be required for this project.
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.
