Re: Early Morning Parking
Dear Mr. Overton,
Since your complaint early in June the City of Yelm has been monitoring the puking
situation on Yelm Avenue East between First and Third Streets, with a primary emphasis on
the available parking at Yelm Avenue East and Second Street.
Our investigation, culminating with today's review and photo record (see attached), finds no
evidence of a parking problem at 7:00 am. As a rile we have found that there has been
occasional parking on Second Street both North and South, no parking in front of the Senior
Center or Bowling Alley and occasional parking on the North Side of Yelm Avenue East.
We agree with you that the parking is concentrated in from of your door and the exercise
door. During today's visit there were 6 cars with room for 2 more. However, this does not
constitute a parking problem. There appears to be ample parking within 1 block, in any
direction from your business, for your patrons. You will note that picture #5 shows a patron
of yours entering the restaurant at approx. 7:10 am after parking her blue car at the comer.
Based on our review we find that there is adequate parking and the City will take no further
action at this time. In the past you have enjoyed access to unlimited public parking,
however, as new businesses come, demand for public parking will increase and will be
available on a first come first served basis.
If you have any questions please contact me at 458 -8407.

Re: Shape Fitness & Weight Loss
Yvonne is out for surgery. I talked with one of her trainers. They do not have classes, they open
at 6 am. And have their peak at 9 am. of 7 to 10 ladies. They have their people park at
layhawks, Yelm Tel and in the 3 spots behind their shop. I asked Yvonne to can me when she is
back some time next week. The only solution I see is parking meters. Are we ready?
Thank yon,
Gary
