RE: Twin Star Credit Union Remodel – City of Yelm Project No. SPR-05-0498-YL
Review No. 3 of Construction Documents
Mr. Tauscher:
The City of Yelm has completed review No. 3 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:
Cover Letter
Full Size Civil Plans
Full Size Landscape Plans
Drainage Report
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:
Water Review Comments:
Any existing on-site wells must be abandoned per DOH and DOE regulations.
Reclaimed Water System Comments:
A reclaimed water user’s agreement needs to be issued and all rules and regulations must be followed, purple pipe, purple sprinkler heads, purple boxes, etc. At the time of this letter
the review of the Reclaimed Water Irrigation Plan has not been completed. You contacted the City by email on September 18 and Stephanie Ray sent you a Reclaimed Water Users Template.
This agreement can be completed after the irrigation plans have been reviewed by the jurisdictions. I sent Scott Severs an email on September 17, 2007 outlining the process for approval
of the Reclaimed Irrigation System. At this time I am unaware if you have submitted the plans to Department of Health or Ecology for review and approval.
The existing domestic irrigation system will need to be retrofitted for use with the reclaimed water system. Purple pipe, purple sprinkler heads, etc.
Sewer Review Comments:
No comments at this time.
Engineering Review Comments:
The approval block should read “Development Review Engineer” instead of Director of Public Works.
Planning Review Comments:
The Landscape Plan has been approved subject to the hand written notes on the face of the plan. I have included a copy of the plan for your records.
Please review and revise the plans to address the above referenced comments. The comments to the construction plans are very minor and can be completed on the mylars drawings. At this
time please do not resubmit the plans until the irrigation plans have been thru the review process with Department of Ecology and Department of Health and City of Yelm.
If you have any additional questions or comments please do not hesitate to call or contact Steve Harrington at (360) 458-8423 or steveh@ci.yelm.wa.us.
