Dear Tonya:
Per your request, this letter confirms our telephone conversation of Thursday, January 26, 2006.
The Site Plan Review Committee has reviewed your requests and provide the following comments.
The Health and Wellness Center may move into the small building that was originally approved for boarding room with an on-site manager. No additional parking stalls are required. Please
contact Gary Carlson, Building Official (360) 458-8407 to see if any building permits are needed for this remodel.
The pedestrian connection from the middle school parking lot to your site must be completed prior to occupancy of the large building. I have attached our sidewalk detail from the City
of Yelm Development Guidelines for your reference. Please forward this detail to your contractor, or have them speak with Jim Gibson, Development Review Engineer (360) 458-8438.
In regards to the cost of the sidewalk installation, when you sign the deferral for your frontage improvements, there is not a cost involved. The deferral simply states that you will
not protest an LID if formed for frontage improvements, and that you are responsible for completing improvements at such time the City deems necessary. The sidewalk is a part of frontage
improvements, and if completed correctly, would be portion of the improvements already completed. Your surveyor must determine where the actual right-of-way is located and provide a
legal description of any right-of-way to be dedicated.
The existing signage on site will need to be replaced. When a business changes names, then the non-conforming sign must be brought into compliance with our current sign regulations.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that all of the conditions listed in your approval letter must be completed and approved by the Community Development Department prior
to occupancy. This includes your landscaping both in the parking area and around the perimeter.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (360) 458-8496.
Sincerely,
Tami Merriman
Assistant Planner
