Project Location: 502 Crystal Springs St NW

Water
The proposed site is currently located in the City of Yelm’s water system service area. An existing 10” water main is located in Edwards St/Crystal Springs. The existing home is connected
to the water system. The new proposed housing units will be required to connect to the water system. You will be required to add water services to serve the proposed residences. The
City will then install the water meters after the fees have been paid and the development has been completed.
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. The City’s code allows a reduction of water connection fees based on the number of residences in each building. When the application has been submitted the final connection
fees will be calculated. These fees is payable at building permit issuance.
Irrigation Meter:
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 located in the City of Yelm’s STEP sewer system service area and the house is connected to the public sewer system. There are existing sewer mains located
on the north property line and the frontage of Edwards/Crystal Springs. The re5sidentaial units will be required to connect to the public sewer system. This project will be required
to install step tanks and associate equipment to connect to the sewer system.
Residential sewer connections are based on a consumption rate of 900 cubic feet per a month and are charged at a rate of $5,417 per a residential connection (fee subject to change) inside
city limits. The new residential unit would be charged for one connection. An inspection fee of $145.00 per a STEP sewer system will also be required. These fees are payable a building
permit issuance.
Fire
This project will be required to meet the 2003 International Fire Code. The building official will review and comment or approve your fire design submittal at the time of site plan
approval.
Stormwater TC \l1 "
This project will be required to conform to the 1992 Department of Ecology Stormwater Manual. The City of Yelm current stormwater policies do not allow for “emerging technologies” or
“alternate technology” for stormwater treatment. Also sand filters or sand lined trenches are not an approved use.
Street Improvements TC \l1 "
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.
Edwards St/Crystal Springs is classified as a “Neighborhood Collector.” This roadway typically requires a 16’ paved asphalt section, concrete curb and gutter, planter island, 5’ sidewalk
and street lighting. This street classification also does not allow on street parking. At site plan approval the city will review the frontage improvements. They may be revised to
match the existing frontage improvements that are already installed along a portion of the projects frontage.
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.
