Water
The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s water system. It appears that the water meter is located in the proposed building envelope. The meter will need to be
relocated to an area that is approved by the public works department.
If the expansion is expected to require additional water usage than additional water connection fees will be required. Water connection fees are based on a consumption rate of 900 cubic
feet a month for each ERU. Each ERU is charged at a rate of $1,500 (fee subject to change) inside city limits. At the time of application submittal you will be required to submit water
usage calculations provided by a licensed civil engineer for the proposed commercial use of the property. Connection fees will be calculated using the information provided by your engineer.
A back flow prevention device will be required to be installed on the water services pursuant to the Washington Administrative Code.
Sewer TC \l1 "
The proposed site is currently connected to the City of Yelm’s S.T.E.P. sewer system. The STEP sewer tank is located in the proposed building envelop. The tank will have to be relocated
to another location on site. Given the site plan it does not appear that you have provided an area for the tank to be located. The tank must be located outside the building and have
a 5 foot setback from the building foundation and property line.
If the water consumption increases the sewer consumption will increase the same amount. If additional sewer connections are needed the sewer connection fees are based on the same ERU
as water and are charged at a rate of $5,569.00/ERU (fee subject to change) inside city limits. At the time of application submittal you will be required to submit water usage calculations
provided by a licensed civil engineer. The sewer fees will be calculated using the information provided by the engineer.
Fire
Fire protection for the buildings must be provided per the International Fire Code. The building official will review the requirements to meet the current fire code.
Stormwater TC \l1 "
The City has a requirement that all roof drains need to be directed to underground dry wells. These facilities need to be located within the proposed property not in the public rights
of way.
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.
Street Lighting TC \l1 "

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.
