jim's wolf conditionsDEPARTMENT ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS: Wastewater. The project site is in the Sewer Service Area and is currently connected to the City’s STEP sewer system. There is an existing 3,000-gallon S.T.E.P. tank located at the northeast corner of the property. Sewer connection fees are charged at the rate of $4,850.00 per 240 gallons of use. This connection has already been paid. However, if the intended use is greater than the previous use, the new building tenant will be required to pay an extra connection fee. All connections require an inspection with a fee of $145.00 per connection, also payable at building permit issuance if required. Water Supply. The proposed site is in the City’s water service area and is currently connected to the City’s Water system. There is an existing 6” watermain located in First St. Water connection fees are charged at the rate of $1,000.00per 240 gallons of use. This connection has already been paid. However, if the intended use is greater than the previous use, the new building tenant will be required to pay an extra connection fee. If required, these fees are payable at building permit issuance. Drainage/Stormwater. The completed project will increase impervious surfaces on the site, and adjacent streets. Impervious surfaces create storm water runoff. Uncontrolled and untreated storm water runoff can create health and safety hazards. YMC requires all development to comply with the Department of Ecology Stormwater Manual, for the control and treatment of stormwater runoff. Currently this site has some existing stormwater drainage problems. The existing system cannot contain or infiltrate the required stormwater volume. The site is sloping to the southeast toward Jefferson St. The water flows to the intersection of Jefferson St and Second St. and overflows into the front yard of a private residence on Jefferson St. The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Stormwater Report that estimates the impervious surface, infiltration rates of the runoff, and a conceptual design for treatment and storage of the stormwater. Following Special Use Approval, the Stormwater Manual requires the developer to submit a final plan consistent with the final impervious calculations for the site. Stormwater facilities require continued maintenance to ensure they remain in proper working condition. Fire Protection. Fire protection is provided by the Thurston County Fire District #2. As development occurs there will be additional demands for fire service. Findings and Conclusion. Conditions of Approval. Sewer The applicant shall submit sewer usage calculations to the Community Development Department. The required calculations shall be from a professional engineer licensed in the state of Washington. These calculations shall be submitted with the civil engineering plans to the Community Development Department for review and approval. Currently this site has an existing connection of 240 gallons a day. If your use is greater than the current use the applicant will have to pay an additional sewer connection fee. Sewer connection fees are charged at the current rate of $4,850 per connection, (fee subject to change) payable at building permit issuance. Each connection is considered 240 gallons per day. All connections require an inspection, with a fee of $145.00 per a connection, also payable at building permit issuance. If required, these fees will be assessed at building permit issuance and will be based on the submitted sewer calculations. Water The applicant shall submit water usage calculations to the Community Development Department. The required calculations shall be from a professional engineer licensed in the state of Washington. These calculations shall be submitted with the civil engineering plans to the Community Development Department for review and approval. Currently this site has an existing connection of 240 gallons a day. If your use is greater than this use the applicant will have to pay an additional water connection fee. Water connection fees are charged at the current rate of $1,000 per 240 gallons of use (fee subject to change) payable at building permit issuance. If required, these fees will be assessed at building permit issuance and will be based on the submitted sewer calculations. All landscape and planting strips shall have an irrigation system with a separate water meter. The applicant shall submit final civil plans to the Community Development Department for review and approval. Stormwater The applicant shall design and construct all storm water facilities in accordance with the DOE Storm Water Manual, as adopted by the City of Yelm. Best Management Practices (BMP’s) are required during construction. The applicant shall compile a final storm water report along with construction drawings. The applicant shall submit a storm water operation and maintenance plan to the Community Development Department for approval prior to final plat approval. The stormwater system shall be maintained by the building owner. The Agreement shall include provisions for the assessment of fees against the owner for the maintenance and repair of the stormwater facilities.
