Re: Lasco Bathware Resin Storage Tank Addition
Dear Mr. Anderson:
The Community Development Department has reviewed the building permit application you submitted on behalf of your client, Lasco Bathware, for a resin storage tank building at the site
of Lasco’s facility in Yelm on N.P. Road.
As part of the building permit review, the application was reviewed for consistency with the Environmental Checklist and SEPA threshold determination that the City had issued for Lasco
to modify the third polyester spray station with equipment and storage to enable spray application of polyurethane. Neither the environmental checklist nor any of the supporting documents
indicate that a new building was to be constructed as part of the project. In fact, On February 21, 2003, Viktor Prismantas, Lasco’s agent, informed the City that the project was on
hold and that they were still investigating the possibility of enclosing the storage tank area. Mr. Prismantas was informed at that time that the Environmental Determination would remain
effective provided the project was not changed or expanded, such as enclosing the tanks.
In order to issue a building permit with the new proposed building, the following would be required:
Site plan review approval. This land use approval is required for any new or expanded commercial or industrial use in the City of Yelm. As part of the site plan approval process, the
property would be have to meet the current requirements of Yelm’s Development Guidelines. The development guidelines can be reviewed online at www.ci.yelm.wa.us. An updated SEPA threshold
determination may be required as part of this process.
Civil plans showing all site work, any changes to the existing storm water drainage system, and how additional stormwater runoff will be accommodated,
including additional stormwater from paved parking areas and interior access lanes.
The Site Plan Review committee meets every Wednesday afternoon for pre-submission conferences. If you would like to schedule a pre-submission meeting, or if you have any questions,
please contact the Community Development Department at (360) 458-3835.
Sincerely,
Grant Beck, Director
Department of Community Development
