Kevin,
The building permit applications for the Creek Street Apartments were extended on July 25, 2011 to March 15, 2012, with conditions. Since March 15, however, the City has been ready
to issue the permits, however, subject to any code changes that warrant additional analysis.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency has been in the process of updating the Flood Insurance Rate Maps in Thurston County, and has issued new maps for the City of Yelm. One of the
changes to the 100 year floodplain is in the area of the Creek Street Apartments and it appears that several of the proposed buildings may be located within the 100 year floodplain as
identified on the updated FIRM maps.
At this time, the City is requesting that your design team review the updated FIRM maps and provide to the City an analysis of the impact the updated floodplain has on your proposed
site plan and, if the buildings and land disturbing activity is located within the updated floodplain, how the project will comply with the standards of the City’s floodplain management
code, which was adopted pursuant to the requirements of participating in the National Flood Insurance Program.
I have attached a copy of the updated FIRM map that covers the site of the proposed Creek Street apartments for your information and use.
Sincerely
Gary Carlson
Building Official
