Pre-Application Meeting

These comments are preliminary in nature and are not intended to represent final comments and or requirements for the City of Yelm. Until a complete application is made, the Community

Proponent: Charles Marchand
Project Proposal: Build Shop with apartment, then build a single family home.
Project Location: Mt. View Road * Tax parcel number 21713340105
Zoning and Setbacks
The property is zoned Moderate Density Residential (R-6), which allows up to 6 units per acre with a minimum requirement of 3 units per acre.
Setbacks:
Front yard - 15' from R-O-W, with a 20' driveway approach.
Rear Yard - 25'
Side yard - minimum 5', total both sides 12'
Flanking Yard – 15’
A single family home requires a building permit, and connection to City water and sewer service. Both are located on Mt. View Road.
The shop with apartment would be allowed based on an approved building permit. When the single family home is completed, the apartment in the shop would be considered a secondary dwelling
unit. The secondary dwelling unit is allowed as follows:
A secondary dwelling unit may be created on a single-family lot for the exclusive use of persons related by blood or marriage to the owner/occupant of the property. The secondary dwelling
unit may consist of one or more rooms, including kitchen and cooking facilities; and may be created by new construction, conversion of, or addition to, either the main residence on
the lot or legal accessory building; provided, that for lots of record under one acre such conversion or addition shall not cause the maximum allowable building or development coverage
of the lot to be exceeded and shall not itself exceed 1,000 square feet.
The parcel to the west of this site is “land locked” and development on this front parcel would need to allow for an easement for access, water and sewer lines.
Any development on this site other than a single family residence or duplex, and associated structures would require further land use approvals, and latecomer fees for water and sewer.
Thurston County Health Department Review may be required if any wells and/or septic systems are located on or within 100' of property. All wells and septic systems within 200' of the
property must be shown on preliminary plat drawings. Any existing wells and septic must be abandoned, and any water rights deeded to the City.
ORCAA: Buildings containing asbestos and/or lead paint are potential environmental and health hazards. State and federal laws regulate the demolition of buildings containing asbestos
and/or lead paint.
State law (Chapter 173-425 WAC) defines land clearing burning as outdoor burning of trees, stumps, shrubbery, or other natural vegetation from land clearing projects. Olympic Region
Clean Air Authority (ORCCA) issues land clearing permits for burning.
The applicant shall contact the ORCAA, 2940-B Limited Lane NW, Olympia, WA 98502, (360) 586-1044 to secure any necessary permit(s) for the removal of materials containing asbestos and/or
lead paint, and for land clearing burn permits. Prior to issuance of a city building permit the applicant shall demonstrate compliance with any ORCAA requirements, and prior to any
demolition, proof of compliance with ORCAA and a City demolition permit is required.
