RE: America's Credit Union - 20100129
Review No. 2 of Civil Construction Documents
The City of Yelm has completed the first review of the civil plans for America's Credit
Union. Your application included:
• Civil Plans
• Stormwater Plan
• Step Sewer System Report
We have reviewed the plans for compliance with the City of Yelm Development
Guidelines, the DOE Stormwater Manual and general standards of civil engineering
practice.
In addition to the comments from the peer review engineer, the City has the following
comments.
Peer review comment #1. The City has additional comments regarding the
sewer report. Please see comments noted in the report.
Peer review comment #2. We agree that the proposed curbing is not enough
deterrent to prevent left turns. The driveway apron is too large and does not
force the right turn. Reduce the width of the driveway and extend restrictive
curbing to the east.
Peer review comment #3. Please reference the Land Use Approval on the cover
of the plans.
City Additional Comments: The FDC is required to be on a fire lane, and within
30 feet from the hydrant. The radius of the driveway must accommodate the fire
truck entering the site, and provide aturn-around on site meeting the Uniform
Fire Code.
New or replacement mail boxes shall not be located the Arterial. Please provide
on-site location of mail box if you plan to have on site delivery. This should be
coordinated with the US Post Office.
Please show on the landscape plan how you plan to meet the landscape
requirement of a rock wall or trellis, and how the proposed material matches the
onsite architectural theme.
Please show on the landscape plans how the irrigation system meets the findings
and conditions of the land use approval.
Please review and revise the plans to address the enclosed redlines and peer review
comments. When the project is resubmitted you will need to submit 5 sets of plans and
2 sets of reports, plus send back original red lines. The project engineer should include
a written response with the resubmittal, indicating how all the redlines and 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 karenb@ci.yelm.wa.us.

Dear Karen:
As you requested, Shea Carr Jewell has reviewed the resubmittal of the America's Credit Union project,
which addressed the comments from our first peer review.
The review documents included:
• Civil engineering plans signed May 12, 2011
• Stormwater Site Plan signed May 12, 2011
• STEP System Report signed May 11, 2011
• Comment Response Letter dated May 12, 2011
Our comments are as follows:
STEP Svstem Report:
1. Appendix B: Overall the flows used for tank sizing, especially for the future coffee house, seem too
low. Further, the methodology used to calculate the amount of flow for the patrons of the coffee
house is incorrect. The category of "restaurants additional for bars and cocktail lounges" on Table 2
of Chapter 7 of the Yelm Development Guidelines is not meant to be a stand- alone category. The
intent is that this would be an additive flow to a restaurant already generating 8-10 gallons per day
per person.
As Table 2 does not have category for the coffee house use, another methodology shall be used to
estimate this flow. Perhaps water records of existing similar uses can be obtained and used. If this
information is unavailable, the restaurant category could be used with an 8-10 gallon per day per
person flow.
We also suggest using water records for the bank flow as well. This will provide more accurate flow
information than the office flow category that has been estimated for this use.

2. The methodology for restricting right turns at the eastern driveway would not provide much of a
deterrent for performing a left turn movement. Please-rise--a."poxk_cho~"~Q rleterleft-turning. Alse;

4. Although labeled as 2%, I calculated a slope at about 2.1%. See plan and revise.
5. The maximum allowed slope for ADA access without installing a ramp is 5%. I calculate one edge of
the sidewalk between the front door and the public sidewalk to be in excess of this amount. See
plan and revise.

6. When the contractor determines the depth of the existing roadway infiltration trench along SR 507,
please contact the City immediately to identify whether or not changes to the existing infiltration
trench will be required. Further, if trench changes are required, roadway flooding prevention during
trench modification construction will need to be addressed.
Should you have any questions or comments, please contact me at (360) 352-1465 at your earliest
convenience.
