CV-071206 Berry Valley-Durant Multifamily Regent M E M O R A N D U M City of Yelm Community Development Department Engineering Division   Pre-Application Meeting Date July 12, 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: Regent Mahan Project: 77 unit Multifamily Development Project Location: Berry Valley Road (T/P 2172420300) Yelm, WA 98597 Street Improvements  TC \l1 " Frontage improvements shall be consistent with Yelm’s Development Guidelines. These improvements shall consist of asphalt widening, curb and gutter, landscape planter, street trees, sidewalk and street lighting. Berry Valley Road is classified as a “Major Arterial”. This project will be required to construct its frontage improvements along the new alignment of Berry Valley Road. This parcel is expected to dedicate 50 feet of right of way along Berry Valley Road. Durant St is classified as a “Local Access Residential.” This roadway requires paved traffic lanes, paved parking lanes, concrete curb and gutter, planter islands, 5’ sidewalk and street lighting. This street classification allows on street parking. The required right of way to be dedicated for the local access roadways is 56’. The street improvements may not be limited to the above comments. This project will be required to complete a Traffic Impact Analysis that may require additional mitigation. Sewer The proposed site is currently located in the City of Yelm’s sewer system service area but is not connected to the sewer system. The nearest sewer location for connection is at the intersection of Berry Valley Road and Berry Valley Drive. The sewer main is 2” in diameter and is not large enough to support this proposal. The sewer comp plan has shown a 12” sewer main to be installed to serve this area. This location will be generally located along the Berry Valley Road corridor. The connection point will be approx. 3,300 lineal feet from this project. The City is currently working with another developer to construct this sewer line. A portion of it will be constructed by the developer and a portion of the main will be constructed by a City sponsored Local Improvement District. The completion date of the construction is unknown at this time; however more information about the LID will be available in May/June of 2006.  TC \l1 "The city is reviewing a sewer tank concept that may be a requirement at the time of this application. (Lacey community step tank) Residential 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. An apartment complex may be granted a reduction of connection fees. See attached code sheet. 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. This property is not included in the City of Yelm Sewer Local Improvement District (LID). Stormwater TC \l1 " Developments 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, bioswale and filter strips. The stormwater disposal is 100% infiltration. There are 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 alternative technology and sand filtration are not allowed as stormwater treatments. Water The proposed site is currently located in the City of Yelm’s water system service area but is not connected to the water system. This project will be required to connect and to extend the water main across its frontage. This project will also be required to install water main, fire hydrants, and water meters along all new proposed roadways. The minimum size water main is 8” in diameter within the project limits. The nearest water location for connection is at the intersection of Berry Valley Road and Berry Valley Drive. The water main is 8” in diameter. The water comp plan has shown a 10” water main to be installed to serve this area. This location will be generally located along the Berry Valley Road corridor. The connection point will be approx. 1,400 lineal feet from this project. The City is currently working with another developer to construct this water line. A portion of it will be constructed by the developer and a portion of the main will be constructed by a City sponsored Local Improvement District. The completion date of the construction is unknown at this time; however more information about the LID will be available in May/June of 2006. 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. An apartment complex may be granted a reduction of connection fees. See attached code sheet. Each residential unit would be charged for one connection. This fee 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. 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. 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 plans.
