CV-Creek St Medical-Storage 052406 M E M O R A N D U M City of Yelm Community Development Department Engineering Division   Pre-Application Meeting May 24, 2006 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: Doug Cameron Project: Medical Building in front and Mini Storage in Rear Project Location: Creek St (t/p 64303400400) Yelm, WA 98597 Water The proposed project is located in the City of Yelm’s water service area. This parcel has an existing 10” water line located in Creek Street and will be required to connect for domestic water and fire protection. It is expected that a fire loop will be required to provide water for the fire hydrants. The minimum water main extension shall be 8” in diameter. 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) inside city limits. The fees will be calculated utilizing the water consumption calculations provided by your civil engineer. These fees are 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. Cross Connection Control: 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. All existing wells will need to be decommissioned prior to connection to the City of Yelm’s water system. Sewer TC \l1 " The proposed site is currently located in the City of Yelm’s STEP sewer system service area. There is an existing 4” sewer main located in Creek Street. This project will be required to connect to this sewer main and extend it as needed on to this project. This proposal will be required to install step tank(s) and associated equipment needed to operate with the City of Yelm’s step sewer system. Without a site plan at this time I am not able to predict how many tanks may be required for this project. Sewer connections are based on a consumption rate of 900 cubic feet a month and are charged at a rate of $5,569 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. The fees will be calculated utilizing the water consumption calculations provided by your civil engineer. These fees are payable a building permit issuance. Fire All projects need to have fire protection for the buildings. When reviewing proposed project for compliance with the 2003 International Fire Code (IFC) the project will be required to meet all necessary fire codes as required by the Building Official. Stormwater TC \l1 " Developments with additional impervious surface are required to provide stormwater facilities pursuant to the 1992 DOE Stormwater Manual. If stormwater mitigation is required the types of stormwater mitigation may be wet ponds, bioswales and filter strips. The stormwater disposal is 100% infiltration. There is 2 ways to accomplish this: open ponds and underground galleries. The open ponds are depressions that store stormwater and allow it to perk back into the underground aquifer. Currently the City of Yelm does not allow new technology methods of stormwater treatment or treatment using sand bedding or sand lined trenches. Street Improvements TC \l1 " Frontage improvements are required for this project. Creek Street is currently not constructed to adopted City standards. The road standard for Creek St is a Commercial Collector. The half street standard is 28’ of ROW, 11ft travel lane, 5ft paved shoulder, vertical curb and gutter, 7ft planter strip and 5’ sidewalk. Also required are street trees and street lighting. I have attached a detail of the street section for clarification of the requirements. Additional improvements may be required through the scope and subsequent review of the Traffic Impact Analysis. 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.
