RE: Civil Engineering Review No. 2 (Application # 2021.0482.CI0018)

Dear Mr. Cruz:
The City of Yelm has completed review of revised Civil Plans, Landscape Plans, and Lighting
Plans submitted with a response letter dated 10/26/2021. The following are comments from
the above referenced plans and need to be addressed before final construction approval can be
issued. I have organized these comments by general category.
Planning (Land Use): (Ref – Notice of Decision dated 4/22/2021 and Yelm Municipal Code)
1. Chain link fencing cannot be visible from the street. It is clear that it is inside the perimeter
landscaping, but unclear if it is inside or outside of the landscaping surrounding the storm
pond. Locate chain link inside the landscaping around the stormwater facility.
Sanitary Sewer & Water Plan: (Ref - Development Guidelines Chapter 4 & 5)
2. Reduced Pressure Backflow Assembly (Std Dwg 4-17) required on domestic meters.
3. 2" Sewer Service Line required for all commercial applications. Ref 5.30.010 General of
Development Guidelines
4. As this is classified as a commercial application, add language to sewer note 7 that specifies
a PF200511 pump and a Class I, Division I installation. Ref 5.40.040 Internal Splice Box of
Development Guidelines
5. Std Dwg 4-4.1 can be removed from details sheet. Only need to refer to Std Dwg 4-9.
Landscape / Irrigation Plans: (Ref – Chapter 18.55 Landscaping Requirements)
6. Show landscaping pursuant to Section 18.59.040(C) YMC around the refuse enclosure .
Misc. Information:
7. Change “Yelm Fire District” to “SE Thurston Fire Authority” under “Services/Utilities” on the
Cover Sheet.
