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: Prairie Baptist Fellowship – Phil Perry Forrester Heights Project: 70 Lot Subdivision Project Location: 15026 SR 507 SE Yelm, WA 98597 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 SR 507. This project will be required to connect and extend the water main along the SR 507 project frontage. The project will also have to extend the water mains to all new proposed roadways within the subdivision and provide a future point(s) of connection to extend the water main to other properties. Each lot will be required to have a water meter, water meter setter and water meter service. Note: There is a water pressure concern with the elevation of proposed development and the existing water system. 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). Each residential unit would be charged for one connection. This fee is payable at building permit issuance for each lot. An irrigation meter(s) shall be installed for the purpose of metering the water usage for the irrigation systems. 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. There is an existing 6” sewer main located in the right of way of SR 507. This proposal will be required to connect to this sewer main and extend it along this projects frontage. This project will also be required to install sewer mains along all new proposed roadways within the subdivision. The sewer main size and termination points will be reviewed at the time of application. Each lot will be required to have a Carson box and step sewer service. There are no Local Improvement District sewer connections associated with these properties. 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 a STEP sewer system will also be required. These fees are payable a building permit issuance. Fire This proposal must meet the 2003 International Fire Code for fire protection. The building official will review your site plan application for conformance with the code. Note: This project location is on top of a hill. I would highly recommend that you have your engineer look at the elevation of the location and how it is going to effect the hydrant operation. This location is 6 feet higher than the base of the Baker Hill Water Tower. Stormwater TC \l1 " Developments with over 5,000 square feet of impervious surface are required to provide stormwater facilities pursuant to the 1992 DOE Stormwater Manual. All stormwater facilities will be located in a separate tract that is owned by the homeowner’s association and located outside the flood plain.
