Second Review of Civil – Site Construction Documents
Dear Amy:
The City of Yelm has completed the initial review of the proposed subdivision. This application included:
Subdivision Construction Documents dated 1/19/06
Subdivision Drainage Report dated 10/27/05
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:
Site Plan and Cover Sheet (sheets 1 thru 3)
The mail box locations need to be shown on the site plan. Please see attachment for exact location and number of mailboxes.
The intersection of Middle Road and Road B should be designed per the COY detail 4-8B with a 35’ curb return radius and the narrowed entrance as shown in the detail.
Landscape and Irrigation Plan (sheets 37 thru 45):
Show the irrigation meters on the water plans.
The landscape plans show a tree or 2 in the site distance triangle at each intersection. Please look at possibly moving these trees to eliminate site distance problems with intersections
and stop signs.
Please review and revise the plans to address the above referenced comments. After you make the revisions please contact me and we can coordinate how the review of the revisions will
take place. 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.
