RE: Motor Home as a Residence- 208 Van Trump St NE
The City of Yelm has worked with you regarding the Motor Home parked on your property located at 208 Van Trump St and has graciously offered you a time extension on 2/5/2019. We have
moved past the March 5th, 2019 grace given and now demand the vehicle is moved off the property or appropriately screened.
The vehicle will be in compliance by March 28, 2019 at 5PM or a $250 fine will be issued to the property owner. The Yelm Municipal Codes cited are included in this notice.
“Recreational vehicle” means a vehicle which is:
1. Built on a single chassis;
2. Four hundred square feet or less when measured at the largest horizontal projection;
3. Designed to be self-propelled or towable by a light-duty truck; and
4. Designed primarily not for use as a permanent dwelling but as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use.
The storage of this vehicle on the property is also in violation of our Yelm Municipal Code.
10.20.010 Time limits.
No “unlicensed and/or inoperable motor vehicle,” as such term is defined in RCW Title 46, shall be stored on any premises within the city for a period exceeding 30 days, unless the same
is stored within an enclosed structure. Violations hereof shall be attributed to the owner or owners of record of the real property. (Ord. 367 § 1, 1990).
The illegal use and of this vehicle as a residence and illegal storage must cease to avoid any further disciplinary actions from the city, including but not limited to fines up to $250.00
per violation, per day of violation and possible further enforcement actions through court of competent jurisdiction.
We will be monitoring the situation and first gave you a deadline of February 18, 2019, and then March 5, 2019, and then an extension until March 10, 2019. No more extensions will be
given.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me at (360) 458-8407.
Sincerely,
Chris Vaccaro
