Initial Review of Civil – Site Construction Documents
Mr. Houha:
The City of Yelm has completed the initial review of the proposed espresso stand located at 706 Yelm Ave E. Your application included:
Building Application with Civil Construction details
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:
STEP Plan:
The proposed septic tank chamber does not have any details associated with it. I am not sure what is being proposed. As previously discussed, if the espresso stand can not gravity
flow into the current STEP tank than a new STEP tank and STEP tank assembly will be required for the espresso stand. The service line may be connected at the same location as the current
gas station STEP service.
Add the COY standard sewer details that will be required for the installation.
Water Plan:
The water connection does not supply any details. Is this connection going to be an additional service or connected behind the existing water meter? Add the COY standard details as
needed.
The proposed landscape fountain will require the water back flow protection devise to be a Reduced Pressure Backflow devise. Add the COY standard details as needed.
Please provide water use calculations for the proposed use. This was a condition of approval.
Stormwater Plan:
A storm water plan and report is not required for this project. The espresso stand area is already being conveyed to the gas station stormwater facility. This building shall install
roof drains that day light to the existing asphalt surface. These drains shall be in a location that will not effect the operation of the espresso stand during the seasons of inclement
weather.
Refuse Container:
The conditions of approval for this project specify where the refuse container should be located. Are you proposing a refuse container and if you are please provide required details
for it location and construction.
Site Plan:
Is there any employee parking stalls proposed? If so where are there location and what are the dimensions.
Landscape and Irrigation Plan:
The landscape and irrigation plan was not submitted. With these plans the civil approval can not be issued.
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 jimg@ci.yelm.wa.us.

Jim Gibson P.E.
