Review #2 of Civil Construction Documents
Mr. Tauscher:
The City of Yelm has completed the initial review of the proposed construction of a 2,585 SF addition to the Yelm branch, the elimination of 4 parking spaces and existing drive-thru,
creating a new drive-thru, and additional site work. Your application included:
Engineers response to Review Comments
Revised Construction Plans
Drainage and Erosion Control Report
STEP Tank Sizing Check
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 Review Comments:
The sewer department does not have any comments at this time.
Water Review Comments:
If there is an existing irrigation meter it must be removed or a Reduced Pressure.
Backflow Assembly installed after the irrigation meter to protect the water system.
All potable water lines must have a ten foot separation from reclaimed water lines.
The well will be abandoned per DOH and DOE regulations.
Reclaimed Water System Comments:
A reclaimed water agreement needs to be issued for this location before construction may begin.
The existing domestic irrigation system needs to be retrofitted for use with the reclaimed water system. (Purple pipe, purple sprinkler heads, etc.)
A dye test will need to be completed to insure there is not a cross connection between potable water and reuse water. This should be coordinated with the Public Works Department.
An irrigation plan needs to be submitted as part of the following review package.
Engineering Review Comments:
Please correct Signature Approval Block. See Current City of Yelm Civil Plan Checklist for Signature Approval Block.
Replace the sidewalk detail provided per item # 23 with the standard City of Yelm Detail 4-11, or show that decorative sidewalk design meets all ADA requirements.
Planning Review Comments:
The final Landscape and Irrigation plans to be submitted and reviewed as part of civil plan review. The next submittal must have these plans or the submittal will be considered incomplete
and not be processed.
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, 2 stormwater reports. The project
engineer should include a written response with the resubmittal, indicating how all the review comments above have been responded too. If you have any additional questions or comments
please do not hesitate to call or contact Steve Harrington at (360) 458-8423 or myself at jimg@ci.yelm.wa.us.
