Re: 1110 Yelm Ave E - Signs in Disrepair - Banner Use Exceeded
The City of Yelm has recently sent you notification on May 16, 2018 in regards to replacing the sign panels on your pole sign and removing the banners on the building located at 1110
Yelm Ave E and a corrective action has not yet been taken.
Per Yelm Municipal Code 18.62.060 Maintenance. –
All signs, including signs heretofore installed shall be constantly maintained in a state of security, safety, appearance and repair. If any sign is found not to be so maintained or
is insecurely fastened or otherwise dangerous, it shall be the duty of the owner and/or occupant of the premises on which the sign is erected to repair or remove the sign within 15
days after receiving notice from the building official. The premises surrounding a freestanding sign shall be free and clear of rubbish and the landscaping area maintained in a tidy
manner. ( Ord. 995 12 (Exh. A), 2015).
The use of banners and temporary signage is allowed for a 14-day period after a special event permit is applied for and approved. You are allowed 4 special events per calendar year.
The banners located on the property have far exceeded these guidelines and have been in place since the opening of the establishment without said permits. These banners are in violation
of City of Yelm’s sign code and shall be removed immediately.
The City of Yelm requires permanent signs safely secured or painted on the structure. This may not be achieved by means of temporary fabrics or banners.
18.62.080 District regulations.
C. Wall signs shall be attached to or painted directly on the wall, or erected against the wall of a building being parallel or approximately parallel to said wall; not exceeding a distance
of 15 inches.
It is ordered that you contact the Building Department within 15 days of receiving this notice.
Failure to comply with the terms of this notice of violations by the stated time will result in further actions by the City of Yelm, including, but not limited to the issuance of civil
penalties up to $250.00 per day of violation per violation or further enforcement action through court of competent jurisdiction.
18.18.060 Penalties.
A. Civil Penalties. Any person violating or failing to comply with any of the provisions of the codes to which the enforcement provisions of this chapter apply may be subject to a cumulative
civil penalty of up to $250.00 per day for each active occurrence of violation.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me at (360) 458-8407.
Sincerely,
Chris Vaccaro
Building Official
