Subject: water recreation facility plan clarifications, Yelm Creek Development located at
10520 Creek Street SE, Yelm, WA 9�597 parcel#64303400400
Dear Mr. Dominczyk:
This letter is sent to you as the engineer who has stamped the plans and specifications for
the water recreation facilities being constructed at the Yelm Creek Development as noted
above. Upon review of the plans and specifications and further review with the Yelm
Building Official, a number of issues were identified that needed additional information or
clarification. A number of those issues were not clirectly related to the plans and
specifications that were stamped by you or were beyond what the Washington State
Department of Health would require of you as a part of the information to supply during
their plan review process. Those issues were presented to the applicant of record in a letter
dated July 5, 2013. A copy of that letter was sent to you and Mr. Johnston, the pool and spa
constructor, for your information and review under separate cover. However, there are
some issues that I need to bring to your attention for additional clarification, correction or ,
affirmation. They are as follows:
1. Please provide a revised Sheet 1.1.1 showin� the stair hand rail for the swimmin�pool
stairs. On Sheet 1.1.1, the "Pool & Spa Plan", of the copy of the plans sent to us by the
Washington State Department of Health, the stair hand rail is missing from the pool stair
steps. It apnears that it was either erased or something similar happened. The gtai.r hand
rail for the spa is provided.
2. Please con�irm that the heaters for the pool and spa will be Mastertemp 400,000 BTU
units. Technical information from the manufacturer's website indicates these are natural
gas or propane powered heaters. There is no indication on the website that they may be
converted to being electrically powered. It is my understanding from Mr. Gary Carlson, the
Yelm Building Official, that natural gas is not being supplied to this site and that there
has not been any discussion with respect to a propane tank installation at the site.
3. Please affirm with Mr. Johnston that he will be providing flow rate indicators for both
the pool and spa continuous disinfectant feed units. This is a separate order item and is
required in order for the unit to meet the NSF#50 standard as required under WAC 246-
260-031 (17).
