Re: Yelm High School -Condition of Land Use Approval
Grant,
After review of the proposed improvements at Yelm High School, staff would like to request
that a condition be added to the land use approval, requiring the high school to connect to
the city's reclaimed water line. The city has a reclaimed water capital improvement project
planned, installing a reclaimed water line from Edwards Street to Yelm High School. The
reclaimed water line would connect to the back easterly comer of the property (along the
current potable waterline easement) and would be available for connection to the high
school's irrigation system. This connection would realize substantial potable water savings
to the city and the community as well as allow a financial savings to the high school.
Per Yelm Municipal Code 13.24.050 Section L "Upon application by a developer, owner or
water customer (herein referred to as "applicant") for land use approval, or other
development project as defined by this code, staff shall review the facilities plan and
subsequent reclaimed water comprehensive plan and make a preliminary determination
whether the subject property is required to be served with reclaimed water or to include
facilities designed to accommodate the use of reclaimed water in the future. Based upon
such determination, use of reclaimed water and provisions of a reclaimed water distribution
system or other facilities for the use of reclaimed water, and an application for a user
agreement for such use shall be required as a condition of approval of any such application,
in addition to any other conditions of approval."
Staff has determined that the amount of potable water consumption at the high school
warrants connection to the reclaimed water system.
If you require anything further in this regard, please do not hesitate to contact me.
