Dear Mr. Hertel:
Thank you for attending the Site Plan Review meeting on Wednesday, November 28, 2001. The Site Plan Review Committee has reviewed the items that we discussed in the meeting, and have
determined based on City ordinances, that the following items will be required to continue the Auto Glass Building at this site. The City understands that you have future plans for
this site, but until formal application is made for site development, we cannot defer the required improvements.
For planning requirement issues:
Parking; Chapter 17.75 states that miscellaneous retail establishments require one stall per 250 sq. ft. The City of Yelm Development Guidelines requires that parking areas be paved,
striped, and landscaped. The use of the existing paved area, and “shared parking” with a neighbor, can be explored as an option for meeting minimum parking requirements.
Landscaping; Type III landscaping will be required to separate pedestrians from street and parking areas. Type IV landscaping will be required in parking areas. As stated in the meeting,
the typical Type I, and Type II landscaping requirements for commercial development shall be waived, until such time as new development, or any other change of use occurs on the site.
The requirement for refuse screening shall be waived as long as the refuse containers are stored inside the building.
The Traffic Facility Charge (TFC) is charged based on the square footage of the building. At 1750 sq. ft., the TFC shall be $3,150.00. This fee is due within 30 days from Land Use
Approval. If and when the site is developed, this amount shall be credited to the new TFC charge.
Mr. Gorton has submitted application for a sign permit, which is under review by the Building Department.
For civil requirement issues:
Water; The commercial business (garage) shall be connected to City water, as described in the Civil Comments from the meeting. The Latecomer fee of $3,097.88 shall be paid before connection
will be allowed. The two residential units are not required to connect. The water line from the well, serving the garage must be closed per Thurston County and Department of Ecology
Standards.
Sewer; The commercial business (garage) shall connect to City sewer, as described in the Civil Comments from the meeting. The Latecomer fee of $875.82 shall be paid before connection
will be allowed.
Fire; Fire protection must be provided per the Uniform Fire Code.
Stormwater; Stormwater treatment is required when improvements create over 5,000 sq. ft. of impervious surface.
Street Improvements; As discussed in the meeting, if you agree to dedicate the needed right-of-way for the road improvements, the improvements will be completed with the City of Yelm/Department
of Transportation project. If you choose not to dedicate the required right-of-way, you will be responsible for the dedication of the property, and the cost of improvements.
Street lighting; Street lighting is required per the City of Yelm Development Guidelines. Street lighting is part of the City of Yelm/Department of Transportation project.
ADA Requirements; The facility must meet ADA requirements.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me. I can be reached at (360) 458-8496.
