Landscape Review # 1 – Site Construction Documents
Mr. Williams:
The City of Yelm has completed the 1st Landscape Plan Review of the proposed subdivision. :
Landscaping and Irrigation Plans received and reviewed June 8, 2007
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. The following
comments need to be addressed before the plans may be approved for construction. Our comments are summarized below:
Landscape Comments:
1. Please illustrate Type III landscaping along the property frontages of Crystal Springs Road as required in the Preliminary Approval.
2. Please provide the City of Yelm street tree planting detail for the street trees that are required as a part of the Type III landscape requirements along Crystal Springs Road.
Please choose a street tree from the City of Yelm Street tree list under the “small tree” section. You can find the Street Tree list on the City of Yelm website.
3. Please provide Type IV landscaping within the parking area. No Parking stalls shall be further than 50 feet from a tree. This can be achieved by shifting the 16 parking stalls
to the west and placing a planter island in between.
4. Parking stalls must be displayed on the Landscape Plans and need to include at least (1) Handicap Stall as required in the preliminary Approval.
5. Please display the refuse container location with the appropriate landscaping and screening on the Landscape plans. We recommend that you relocate your refuse container to the
southwest corner of the property, outside of all wetland, shoreline and floodzone areas. LeMay may not approve the location as it is proposed on the preliminary site plan.
Please review and revise the plans to address the above referenced comments. When the project is resubmitted you will need to submit 4 sets of plans. The project engineer should include
a written response with the resubmittal, indicating how all the review comments above have been addressed or responded to. This will significantly expedite our review of the project.
If you have any additional questions or comments please do not hesitate to call or contact me at steveh@ci.yelm.wa.us.
