Dear Clint:
The City of Yelm has completed the initial review of the proposed commercial development. Your application included:
Civil Plans received May 18, 2007
No Landscape Plans were submitted
We have reviewed the plans for compliance with the City of Yelm Development Guidelines, the DOE Stormwater Manual and general standards of civil engineering practice. At this time the
construction plans are substantially complete and can be approved with some minor modifications before you submit for signature. Our comments are summarized below:
Landscape and Irrigation Plans: Same comments as Review No. 1
Sheet L 3 of 3:
Relocate or shift the trees that are within the water easement on the east property line to avoid damage to waterline from tree roots.
Relocate or shift the trees on the northwest property corner outside of the utility easement to avoid damage caused by tree roots.
Any trees that are relocated should be replanted through out the project site, possibly along the south property line.
Please provide more dense sight obscuring landscaping around the refuse container.
Trees need to be planted at least 5 feet from any water meters.
After we have received and approved the landscape and irrigation plans, please provide me with the following information:
One Full Size set of plans for signature (Your choice of media and will be returned to you)
One Stormwater Report for signature (City to retain)
When the signed set of plans has been returned, you will need to provide the following before a preconstruction meeting can be arranged.
