CITY OF PUYALLUP PERMITTING PORTAL

Other/Miscellaneous

A Traffic scoping worksheet will be required. The City policy requires the project trips to be estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) Trip Generation, 11th Edition. In general, trip generation regression equations shall be used when the R2 value is 0.70 or greater. For single-family units and offices smaller than 30,000 SF, use ITE’s Trip Generation, average rate. The project trips shall be rounded to the nearest tenth. Trip credits would be allowed for any existing development. The city has adopted a City-Wide Traffic Impact Fee of $4,500 per PM peak hour trip. Final fees will be calculated and assessed by the City at the time of building permit issuance. Park impact fee was established by Ordinance 3142 dated July 3, 2017 and shall be charged per new dwelling unit based on its size: Park Impact Fee (Per residential dwelling Unit): Less than 500 sqft $1,560.05 500 - 999 sqft $2,313.53 1,000 – 1,999 sqft $3,291.31 2,000 sqft or more $4,017.30 Per Puyallup Municipal Code Section 11.08.135, the applicant/owner would be expected to construct half-street improvements including curb, gutter, planter strip, sidewalk, roadway base, pavement, and street lighting. Any existing improvements which are damaged now or during construction, or which do not meet current City Standards, shall be replaced E Pioneer is classified as a Major Arterial and shall consist of curb, gutter, 8’ sidewalks, 10ft planter strip, and streetlights. The improvements shall be from street centerline. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, additional right-of-way (ROW) on E Pioneer may need to be dedicated to the city. 7th St SE is classified as a local roadway and shall consist of curb, gutter, 8’ sidewalks, 7.5ft planter strip, and streetlights. The improvements shall be from street centerline. Assuming a symmetrical cross section, additional right-of-way (ROW) on 7th St SE may need to be dedicated to the city. Building must be placed farther from the sidewalk because of sight distance issues at the intersection of E Pioneer/7th St SE. City engineering standards require 415ft of available entering sight distance. Sight distance analysis will be required at E Pioneer/7th St SE. Also, will need to ensure the building placement will not interfere with signal head visibility for EB drivers at the adjacent WSDOT traffic signal. This analysis shall be required during the preliminary site plan review. Driveway Access: Direct access to E Pioneer will not be allowed. E Pioneer along the site is designated as a major arterial. City standards (Section 101.10.1(4)) require minimum spacing of 300 feet from the nearest intersection measured between closest edges of the driveway. The proposed driveway must be located as far south as possible. This will require a partial removal of the 15ft landscaping buffer. The proposed driveway onto 7th St SE may need to be access restricted (right-in/right-out) to minimize possible operational impacts on E Pioneer. May be possible to fit a SBL turn pocket into your site. To assess operational impacts, the City will require a traffic analysis. Please coordinate with the City Traffic Engineer on the scope of this analysis. This analysis shall be required during the preliminary site plan review. To assess the driveway location, queuing, and possible access restrictions, it is recommended this analysis is completed early in the design process. Traffic analysis shall evaluate the need for EBR turn pocket at the WSDOT WB SR-512 on/off-ramp During the WA State Fair, access may be restricted to accommodate Fair traffic. This may impact ability to access site. WSDOT owns the adjacent traffic signal. Additional ROW dedication may be required to accommodate a future EB right turn pocket. Commercial access driveway standard will be required. 30ft minimum width. Based on your updated site plan, an AutoTurn analysis will be required to show how largest anticipated design vehicle will navigate site. This analysis will also include EV, UPS Truck, & Garbage Truck on-site circulation analysis.

WATER: Water Within City Service Area: • The proposed water system shall be designed and constructed to current City standards. [PMC 14.02.120] Water Meter Options Option 1 o Provide XXX dual meters to provide water to each of the XXX residences. This method charges each owner individually for water consumption. Option 2 o Provide a single water meter and split water costs among tenants. • Any wells on the site must be decommissioned in accordance with Washington State requirements. Documentation of the decommissioning must be provided along with submittal of engineering drawings. If an existing well is to remain, the well protection zone shall be clearly delineated, and appropriate backflow protection (Reduced Pressure Backflow Assemblies) shall be installed at all points of connection to the public water system. [PMC 14.02.220(3)(b)] • A new water main line shall be extended to, and through, the site sufficient to provide the necessary flows for both the domestic system and fire system. The minimum water pipe size shall be 8-inch diameter. (Exception: A 4-inch water main may be installed if either, 1) the proposed main is a dead-end line with no possibility of being expanded in the future, or 2) that portion of the proposed main beyond the last fire hydrant for the project.) [PMC 14.02.190 & CS 301.1(1)] • The applicant shall provide and install the water meters required to service the site. Domestic service water meters shall be located within the public ROW, or in the case of a private road adjacent to the road section, in accordance with City Standards. [PMC 14.02.120(2)(f) 14.02.220(2) & CS 301.3] • The water main shall be located generally 10 or 12-feet west or south of roadway centerlines per city standard drawings. Any portion of the mainline extension located outside City right-of-way must be centered in a minimum 40-foot-wide easement granted to the city for maintenance purposes. [PMC 14.02.120(f) & CS 301.1(11)] • The applicant shall be responsible for the operation and maintenance of the proposed water main located on private property. • Any existing services that are to be abandoned at this site shall be disconnected at the main, the corp. stop removed, and the service plugged to city standards. [PMC 14.02.120(f)] • The minimum distance between water lines and sewer lines shall be 10-feet horizontally and 18-inches vertically. If this criterion cannot be met, the design shall isolate the sewer and water lines by encasement, shielding or other approved methods. • A 2-inch blow-off assembly is required on dead-end water mains except where fire hydrants are installed at the dead-end. [PMC 14.02.120(f) & CS 301.1(7)] • Water pipe and service connections shall be a minimum of 10-feet away from building foundations and/or roof lines. • The applicant is required to provide backflow protection on the domestic line(s) in accordance with City Standards. The minimum level of protection would be a double check valve assembly (DCVA). However, the city requires a reduced pressure backflow assembly (RPBA) for any use considered to be a high hazard as outlined in WAC 246-290-490 Table 9. PMC 14.02.220(3) & CS 302.2] • If an RPBA is not appropriate then the applicant shall provide backflow protection with the installation of a double check valve assembly (DCVA) on the domestic connection to the public water main, if one does not currently exist. A plumbing permit is required for this work to be completed; and the unit should be located outside the building, immediately downstream of the existing water meter if possible. If an irrigation system is also proposed, a DCVA is required on that line as well. [PMC 14.02.220(3) & CS 302.2] Backflow Protection NOTE TO REVIEWER: Check with Mike Nelson for determination of the current level of backflow protection to the property. Note if an increased level of backflow protection will be required. • A reduced pressure backflow assembly (RPBA) may be required on the domestic line at each location where the proposed water main connects to the public system. If an irrigation system is proposed, a DCVA is required on that line. [PMC 14.02.220(3) & CS 302] • The following list shows examples of uses and industries where an RPBA is probably required: • Agricultural (farms and dairies) • Beverage bottling plants • Car washes • Chemical Plants • Commercial laundries and dry cleaners • Premises where both reclaimed and potable water are provided • Film processing facilities • Food processing plants • Hospitals, medical and dental centers, nursing homes and veterinary • Blood and plasma centers • Premises with separate irrigation systems using the purveyor’s water with chemical addition • Laboratories • Metal plating industries • Mortuaries • Petroleum processing or storage plants • Piers and docks • Radioactive material processing plants or nuclear reactors • Wastewater lift stations and treatment plants • Premises with an unapproved auxiliary water supply interconnected with potable supply Fire Requirements (applies to both City Water and Water Purveyors): 1. Fire flow requirements are dependent on the construction type and size. Buildings >10K SF requires sprinklers. Note if fire partition walls are used this reduces this 10k SF to that area protected by the fire walls. 2. Hydraulic analysis is generally required by Fire. The reviewer needs to coordinate the system and pipe size based on this analysis. The volume capacity for dead end lines are limited by Velocity. Q=VA where V is limited by 10FPS per city standards. 3. Engineering is focused on some water quality benefits, we don’t want domestic water to come off a dead-end hydrant line as this water is commonly stagnant and tastes funny. Fire is generally not worried about this. If a hydrant is shown in the middle of a private site, the project likely needs fire sprinklers. 4. A wet pipe fire sprinkler system constantly has water in the pipes. This type of sprinkler system requires a DCVA backflow device, which requires a plumbing permit to install the backflow. 5. A dry pipe sprinkler system uses pressurized air in the pipe which is released when the water is released, this system does not require a backflow device. • For commercial/townhome developments each building shall have its own fire sprinkler system with a dedicated fire service line. • The domestic service line and fire system service line shall have a separate, independent connection to the supply main. A Double Check Valve Assembly (DCVA) will be required near the property line at the point of connection to the public main. The fire sprinkler Double Detector Check Valve Assembly (DDCVA) may be located either inside, or outside, of the building. • The sprinkler supply line shall be designed, and shown on the plan, into the building to the point of connection to the interior building riser. Provide plan and elevation detail(s) where the riser enters the building with dimensions, clearances, and joint restraint in accordance with NFPA 24. A post indicator valve (PIV) shall be provided for the fire sprinkler system in advance of the DDCVA. [PMC 14.02, CS 302.3, & CS 303] • Fire hydrants shall be placed so that there is a minimum of 50-feet and a maximum 150-feet of separation from hydrants to any building walls. [PMC 16.08.080 & CS 301.2, 302.3] • Maximum hydrant run is 20-feet. Hydrant runs that exceed this distance shall be served by a mainline with the hydrant feed line set at right angles to the supply main. • The Fire Department Connection (FDC) shall be located no closer than 10-feet and no further than 15-feet from a fire hydrant. [CS 302.3] • Available fire flow for the project site must be determined by hydraulic modeling conducted by the City’s consultant. The cost of this analysis is $600 and shall be paid by the applicant. • Utility extensions shall be approved and permitted prior to any building permit issuance. [PMC 14.02.130] • Prior to completion of any future watermain extension, the engineer-of-record shall complete the State Department of Health’s “Construction Completion Report for Distribution Main Projects”, professional engineering seal, and provide a copy to the City.

INFILTRATION TESTING: Preliminary feasibility/infeasibility testing for infiltration facilities shall be in accordance with the site analysis requirements of the Ecology Manual, Volume III, Chapter 3.2, specifically: - Groundwater evaluation, either instantaneous (MR1-5) or CONTINUOUS MONITORING WELL (MR1-9) DURING THE WET WEATHER MONTHS (December 1 through April 1). If you are not sure about whether or not your project is required to perform this wet weather long term monitoring, then check with the review engineer from the city. For this project it will almost definitely be required. It is imperative that this monitoring is performed early in the design process so that the results can be utilized for storm design. Without it, the project could be delayed by a full year. - Hydraulic conductivity testing: o If the development triggers Minimum Requirement #7 (flow control), if the site soils are consolidated, or is encumbered by a critical area a Small-Scale Pilot Infiltration Tests (PIT) during the wet weather months (December 1 through April 1) is required for properties under 1 acre. Properties that are over 1 acre that have predicted low infiltration rates should perform Large Scale PIT Tests for better accuracy. o If the development does not trigger Minimum Requirement #7, is not encumbered by a critical area, and is located on soils unconsolidated by glacial advance, grain size analyses may be substituted for the Small Scale PIT test at the discretion of the review engineer. - Testing to determine the hydraulic restriction layer. - Mounding analysis may be required in accordance with Ecology Volume V Section 5.2.7. • If infiltration facilities/BMPs are feasible, the number of tests shall be based on the area contributing to the proposed facility/BMP, e.g., one test for every 5,000 square feet of permeable pavement or one test for each bio-retention cell. • Upon submission of the geotechnical infiltration testing, appropriate long-term correction factors shall be noted for any areas utilizing infiltration into the underlying native soils in accordance with the Ecology Manual. Provide the long-term infiltration rate calculation in the stormwater report.
