Project Proposal: Construct 15 townhouse units
Project Location: 304 Longmire Street SE, Parcel Number 21724410200
Proposal
To complete a previously approved project consisting of a 15 unit multi-family residential development on an approximately 1 acre parcel.
GMS Construction, Inc. applied for a binding site plan for the project, which was granted preliminary approval by the City of Yelm Hearing Examiner on December 21st, 2006. This preliminary
approval remains valid and a copy of the approval, including the conditions of approval, is attached to these notes.
The engineering firm KPFF submitted civil plans for the project on behalf of GMS Construction, Inc. These plans were approved by the City of Yelm on August 3, 2007, and have since expired.
In order to continue the project, new civil plans would need to be submitted for approval by the City. Some construction standards have changed in the City, as follows:
If the stormwater system utilizes a perforated pipe and an aqua swirl device, as proposed on the original civil plans, it must be designed to the 2005 DOE stormwater manual.
No STEP Tank greater than 8,000 gallons will be allowed to be utilized on the project. A series of tanks providing treatment and holding capacity is allowable.
Water spigots located within 50 feet of pump side of tanks needs to be hooked to domestic water supply, not an irrigation supply.
Depth of bury on side sewers will be decided on minimum percentage of fall from beginning of the side sewer to inlet elevation (I.E.) of the STEP tank.
Maximum Depth of bury for tanks is 5 feet from inlet elevation of the tank to finished grade.
SDR 35 is the standard for side sewer pipe.
See sewer specification addendum for pump control panel remote post changes.
