1110 E Yelm AveTim Cronk April 2Tim Cronk April 2, 2018
In passing by King Cronkâs place of business located at 1110 Yelm Ave E I noticed three street trees removed without his seeking prior approval from the City of Yelm. I notified my inspector
John Rowland who joined me in taking pictures and observing the violations.
Upon returning later John and I spoke to a contractor who was removing the stumps left behind by the trees illegally removed. He had informed us that Tim Cronk and the property owner
hired him to remove these trees. The contractor informed us that he previously advised Tim Cronk and Christine Lee to notify the City of Yelm of their intent to remove these trees.
Neither Tim Cronk nor Christine Lee made contact with the city in regards to this action.
A civil penalty of $250.00 for each tree is now being imposed on Tim Cronk and Christine Lee for their knowing violations of the Yelm Municipal Code.
