DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS:
Street Frontage: The design of the frontage improvements for the streets are to be consistent with the City of Yelm’s Development Guidelines.
Wastewater. The project site is in the City’s sewer service area but is currently not served by the City’s STEP sewer system.
Water Supply. The proposed site is in the City’s water service area but is currently not connected to the City’s water system.
Drainage/Stormwater. The completed project will increase impervious surfaces on the site and adjacent streets. Impervious surfaces create stormwater runoff. When uncontrolled and untreated
stormwater runoff can create health and safety hazards. YMC requires all development to comply with the DOE Stormwater Manual for the control and treatment of stormwater runoff.
Stormwater facilities require continued maintenance to ensure they remain in proper working condition.
Homeowner’s Association. The applicant shall submit a Homeowners Agreement for the approval by the City. The Agreement, at a minimum shall contain provisions for the homeowner’s joint
ownership and authorize the homeowners association to assess and collect fees for the maintenance of the stormwater facilities and pedestrian easements. The Homeowners agreement shall
be referenced on the face of the plat and recorded with the final plat.
Fire Protection. Fire protection is provided by the Thurston County Fire District #2. As development occurs there will be additional demands for fire service.
Police Protection. Police protection is provided by the City of Yelm. As development occurs there will be additional demands for police service.
Street Lighting. Adequate street lighting will be required for this project. Street lighting design must meet the City of Yelm’s Development Guidelines and will also be submitted to
Puget Sound Energy for review and approval.
Findings and Conclusion. Chapter 16.12.170 requires written findings prior to a decision on a preliminary plat. Based on the project as proposed by the applicant and the conditions
of approval below, the staff finds that the subdivision:
A. Adequately provides for the public health, safety and general welfare and for such open spaces, drainage ways, streets, potable water supplies, sanitary wastes, parks and recreation,
schools, sidewalks;
B. That the public use and interest will be served by the platting of such subdivision and dedications;
C. The subdivision is in conformance with The Yelm-Thurston County Joint Comprehensive Plan, the City Zoning Ordinance and the City’s Development Guidelines.
D. Staff Recommendation
Based on the Analysis and Findings in Section C and the Conditions of Approval below, staff recommends that the Planning Commission forward SUB-00-8250-YL to the City Council for approval.
Conditions of Approval.
Sewer
The proposed site will be required to connect to the City’s STEP sewer system. The existing lines are as follows: Van Trump – 4”; Longmire – 2”; Coates 2”; Solberg 8”.
Sewer ERU’s are charged at the current rate of $4,850/ERU plus an inspection fee of $145.00/ERU payable at building permit issuance.
Existing sewage systems located on-site shall be abandoned per Article IV Rules & Regulations of the Thurston County Board of Health Governing Disposal of sewage.
The S.T.E.P. System shall be designed to City standards. The applicant shall submit final civil plans to the Public Works Department for review and approval.
Water
The proposed development will be required to connect to the City’s water system. There is an existing 6” AC watermain located along Longmire; Coates – 8” PVC; Van Trump – 4” AC. An
8” PVC waterline extension will be required along Solberg. Van Trump will require an upgrade from the existing 4” AC line to an 8” PVC line.
Water ERU’s (equivalent residential units) are based on a consumption rate of 240 gallons per day and are charged a current rate of $1,000/ERU (fee subject to change) inside city limits.
One ERU would be charged to each residential building lot. These fees are payable at building permit issuance.

The applicant should show how stormwater runoff is being collected and treated as part of the preliminary plat submittal.
The applicant shall design and construct all storm water facilities in accordance with the DOE Storm Water Manual, as adopted by the City of Yelm. Best Management Practices (BMP’s) are
required during construction. The applicant shall compile a final storm water report along with construction drawings.
Impervious surfaces create storm water runoff. When uncontrolled and untreated storm water runoff can create health and safety hazards. YMC requires all development to comply with
the Stormwater Manual for the control and treatment of stormwater runoff.
Stormwater facilities require continued maintenance to ensure they remain in proper working condition.
WSDOT will only accept surface water runoff equal in quality and quantity to that of the pre-developed site. Any additional surface water runoff generated, impacting State property,
will require appropriate stormwater mitigation in accordance with the Department of Ecology’s Stormwater Management Manual.
