Initial Review Grading Plan for Early Clearing and Grading Permit
Mr. Birkland:
The City of Yelm has completed the initial review of the proposed early clearing and grading permit. Your application included:
Construction Documents dated 4/13/06 and received 4/18/06 (2 sheets)
We have reviewed the plans for compliance with the City of Yelm Development Guidelines 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:
The proposed grading needs to be out side of the 200 foot shoreline jurisdiction. The Conditions of Approval mandate that this project stay out of the shoreline area.
The onsite wells need to be decommissioned or a 100 foot radius around the well needs to left undisturbed during the grading operation. Please specify on the plans what you are proposing
to do.
Erosion Control Details and Notes:
The temporary erosion control design is adequate to begin the grading operation. As with all grading projects the TESC measures will need to be inspected daily and changes made to them
as needed to project adjoining properties and critical areas in the vicinity of the project.
Grading and Stormwater Plan:
The proposed stormwater pond is not approved. The conditions of approval require additional information to be provided before a stormwater facility can be reviewed and approved. The
stormwater design needs to be removed from the site plan before approval.
Building Demolition:
Before any buildings may be demolished or removed a demolition permit and asbestos permit must be obtained from the Olympic Region Clean Air Authority.
Please review the comments and resubmit a site plan that will address these comments. When we receive the site plan a second review will be done and a permit will be issued. 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.

Jim Gibson P.E.
