PRE-SUB French Development
Transportation
Ingress and egress at the site shall be consistent with the Yelm Development Guidelines, Section 4B.140. The roadway access shall be reviewed as part of the Transportation Impact Analysis.
Frontage improvements are required for all new development within the city. Frontage requirements include improvements to roadway from the centerline of right-of-way back towards your
property. Additional right-of-way dedication may be required.
Frontage improvements will be required along Middle Road. Middle Road is classified as “Neighborhood Collector”. This project will be required to construct frontage half street improvements
which may include, utility installation, asphalt widening, curb and gutter, landscape planter, street trees, sidewalk and lighting.
The City of Yelm has adopted a Transportation Facility Charge (TFC) of $750.00 per PM peak trip generated by new development. The code provides a default table that the applicant can
use to determine the number of new PM trips generated by a proposal.
The TFC charges are based on the type of use proposed. Each use may be significantly different. For example, the traffic generated from a fast food restaurant is much greater than
a “sit-down” restaurant.
EXAMPLE: Gross Floor Area / 1,000 x $750.00=TFC
Automobile Repair: 2.87 x 1,920 = 5,510.40 / 1,000=5.51 x $750 = $4,132.50
Administrative Office: 3.68 x 1,344 = 4,945.92 / 1,000 = 4.94 x $750 =$3,709.44
Traffic Facilities Charges may be applied to off-site improvements required to mitigate potential significant impacts attributed to the proposed development if the required improvements
are capacity related.
Water
The site will be required to connect to the City of Yelm water system. There is an 10” water main is located along Middle Road. It would be expected that this project will connect
to the existing water mains and extend the water system on your site as needed to support your intended uses.
Water connections are based on a consumption rate of 900 cubic feet a month and are charged at a rate of $1,500 per connection (fee subject to change) inside the city limits. An engineers
estimate for water usage will be required as part of the civil plan submission. Water connection fees are payable at building permit issuance.
There is a water latecomers fee associated with the site in the amount of $3,656.64.
The existing well(s) will need to be abandoned per Department of Ecology standards and the water rights will need to be dedicated to the city.
An irrigation meter shall be installed, provided an approved backflow prevention device is provided. As sewer use fees are calculated based on water usage, an irrigation meter will
lower monthly sewer bills.
All commercial buildings and irrigation systems are required to provide for cross-connection control through the provisions of a back flow prevention device installed on the water services.
A list of approved devices can be found at Chapter 246-290-490 WAC.
Sewer
The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s STEP sewer system.
There is an existing 6” sewer force main will be installed along Middle Road. It would be expected that this project will connect to the existing sewer main located on Middle Road and
extend the step sewer system on your site as needed to support your intended uses.
This project will be required to install a City of Yelm STEP sewer tank(s) assembly.
Sewer connections are based on a consumption rate of 900 cubic feet a month and are charged at a rate of $5,569.00 per a connection (fee subject to change) inside city limits. An inspection
fee of $145.00 per a connection will also be required. Any on-site septic systems will need to be abandoned prior to site plan review approval.
