Jim,
See below for Tami’s and my responses to your questions.
1. Provide engineers estimate for water usage - Our plan was to submit a similar use using City of Yelm
water records, will this be acceptable? The actual use is only going to be restrooms for
patrons/employees and maybe a small use for clean up. It will be less than 1 eru of usage.
I looked at browns care, and they average less than 1 ERU. I am good with his finding.
2. Provide refuse container and Pacific Disposal approval - The owners are planning to only use a small
refuse container and will be keeping it inside the building, to be placed out on the mornings of
scheduled pick up. Based on this, they are asking to not have to install a refuse enclosure that they will
not be utilizing.
Note on plan that individual can pick up proposed, all cans stored inside except for scheduled pick up days.
3. Show mailbox location and details - After talking with the owner they have procured a post office box at
Yelm Post Office and would not be using a separate mailbox located at the property. We would ask
that this cluster not be required.
PO Box is fine.
2
4. Landscape Plans - The owners are planning to provide a plan of their proposed plantings. One
clarification I wanted to ask about was the placement of the perimeter fence. One the civils I show it
on the property line with the landscaping inside the fence. The preliminary plans had the landscaping
on the outside with the wood fence shown 8' off the property line. We would like to have the fence on
the property line and be able to secure the landscaping within the property boundaries. Would you
confirm this is acceptable to the City?
Landscape to be outside of the wood fence to provide visual screening between adjacent properties. It is their choice to
construct the solid wood fence. Landscaping on the inside of the fence does not meet the intent of perimeter
landscape.
5. Irrigation is intended to be a design build installation. I will add the irrigation meter and DDCV on the
irrigation plans so the City knows the location and size of the service.
This is acceptable.
6. The last item is a possible deferment on the frontage improvements. The owners wanted me to see if the
City would consider a frontage improvement deferment on the project. At this time, installing the
sidewalk would shift the pedestrians south to a mid block unstripped crossing point of West Road. If
the sidewalk was left as is today the pedestrians would continue to cross West Road at the ADA ramps
located at 4th St. Thanks for your consideration on the deferment.
th
The ADA crossing is at 4. Ending a sidewalk at the property line is standard… as seen all over town. The SPR approval
stated they intended to construct the sidewalk/planter strip, and deferral was not requested. In order to make this
change, we would need to have them reapply to amend their approval.
Hope you are having a good week.

Constance,
Here is the Grading Permit and associated documents for Project # MU 2020.0018 – Standley Garage including the
permit invoice for $54.00.
You will notice the permit states a pre-construction meeting is required, but this is a standard note for Civil Plan Review
Permits and this requirement can be deferred to when the rest of the plans get approved.
Hope you have a great weekend!

Attached are a copy of the plans with my signature on them. As we discussed this project does not require the
DOE Stormwater Permit because it does not meet the threshold of the permit. It is under 1 acre and will
infiltrate all its stormwater within the site.
I will be following up shortly with a landscaping plan, lighting layout and few remaining comments.

I would be comfortable issuing an early clear and grading permit for this project. If you could provide me an updated

For these early grading permits I have been creating another Civil Plan Review permit under the project and just billing

If you remove the addition of the building, it will keep the project as a ministerial SPR, no public notice and no additional
fee.
If the sidewalk and planter strip do not require additional right of way, then the right of way dedication on the plan
shouldn’t be shown. Your consultant will need to show the actual right of way width existing and if dedication is
required. When the right of way is determined, your 8 foot perimeter landscape strip will begin. The ADA parking stall
has a 16 foot width (stall and required striping). This ADA standard must be kept. This is something that you should
discuss with Skillings Connely.
I am not sure what you are intending for access, but we cannot have area where vehicles will be driving or stored that is
not paved due to stormwater standards. If you propose something different you will need to show your intentions as
well as how you intend to keep the area inaccessible.
I have to leave the office at 3pm today, but will be in the office tomorrow all day.

Tami,
Would you happen to be available for Joe and I to come out and talk to you about a few things? Possibly
tomorrow? We were wondering about the five foot shoulder that we were originally told we wouldn't need, but
you said would be needed in this site plan, as well as the encroachment. We will have Skillings/Connolly
remove the proposed addition at the end of the building (we had already decided we weren't going to be doing
that), and remove the new walkway next to the ADA parking so that it can be moved next to the old walkway.
We were also planning on closing off the employee driveway and leaving that without asphalt; is that plausible?
We're trying to get everything working asap. Thanks so much for your help!
