A letter was presented to the Council from John Klapp, owner of the property
on Railroad Ave. where the Farmer's Flea Market is operating under a
conditional use permit. The letter requested that the Council consider
extension of the current permit (expires June 1, 1991) and that they
consider allowing the market to locate in Yelm City Park rather than at its
present location. In response to the request for extension, Council
requested that Mr. Klapp submit an application and plans for continuance of
the market beyond June 1, 1991 to the Yelm Planning Commission, taking into
consideration the Planning Commission's recommendation of March 19, 1991
which requests a plan for permanent structures for renewal oi~ thc~
conditional use permit. Council agreed that operation of the flea ma~k~et i'tnh €~`
Yelm City Park, would not be appropriate, as it would preclude others'~from~
using the facilities.
