Sincerely, Larry Hanson Code Enforcement Officer City of Yelm (860) 458 -3835 (860) 458 -3144 FAX wmw.ci.ye/m.uro.ue City of Yelm Community Development Department 105 Yelm Avenue West P.O. Box 479 Yelm, WA 98597 August 2, 2006 Greg Longnecker J & I Power Equipment, Inc. 10615 Bald Hill Road, S.E. Yelm, WA 98597 Dear Mr. Longnecker: This letter is a follow -up to the letter sent to you last week by Larry Hanson, Code Enforcement Officer for the Community Development Department. Specifically, Larry requested that the site plan review committee review the conditions of approval of the land use permit issued to Randy Paigen for the improvement of the site now occupied by J & I Power Equipment as they relate to on -site parking and outdoor display of merchandise. After visiting the site regarding your display of merchandise in required landscape and parking areas, Larry noticed that your use of the building differs from the approved plans in a manner that may allow you to take advantage of additional outdoor display area. The parking requirements outlined in the land use approval did not take into consideration the portion of the building dedicated to equipment repair and service, which may reduce the number of required parking spaces for the business. If this is the case, then it may be possible to utilize any spaces which are not required to meet minimum parking standards for outdoor display, provided it meets the standards of Section 17.24.130 (3) YMC. One parking space is required for every 250 square feet of gross floor area for retail establishments. The retail area for this calculation would include all sales floor area, offices, and ancillary facilities such as restrooms, but may exclude the equipment repair area. Additionally, the parts storage area can be calculated at one space for every 400 square feet. If you would like to explore this possibility further, you should submit a site plan to the Community Development Department that shows the building and parking lot (I have included the approved plans for your use in this regard) with the following notations: ✓ The gross floor area of the building (that not used for equipment service and repair or parts storage). ✓ The gross floor area of the parts storage area. (360) 458 -3835 (360) 458 -3144 FAX www.ci.yelm.wu.ue ✓ The parking stalls proposed to be used for outdoor display. • A plan for screening the outdoor display area that is consistent with the overall landscaping plan. • A plan for use of the parking stalls if the ratio of equipment service and repair to gross retail area changes in the future. Finally, the Community Development Department works hard to find ways for a site plan to work, while pointing out potential future issues to the developer. In this case, the site upon which J & I is located is very small for the size of building that was constructed, and the City worked through many site planning issues with Mr. Paigen, the developer. The Department noted a number of times to Mr. Paigen that outdoor display of merchandise was not allowed except under the conditions found in Section 17.14.130 (3) YMC, which does not allow landscape areas, required sidewalks, or required parking stalls to be used as display areas. While I understand that this concern may not have been passed along to you as the business owner by the developer, the City has been consistent in raising the concern as part of the site review process. If you have any questions regarding this opportunity, please contact myself or Tami Merriman at 458 -3835. Sincerely, Grant Beck, Director Department of Community Development August 2, 2006 Page 2 d 2 RFC To whom it concerns, JGr ��y!,F� This letter is a request to use J & I Power Equipments parking lot in a`- di�ffeAt manner than what was originally defined. We have recently been informed that we cannot use any outside area for display of equipment. This is due to city codes that will not allow parking of our equipment on landscape, parking stalls, and or required walk ways. After talking with Larry Hanson, and Tami Merriman we have developed a proposal to meet the cities needs and some of our own. After going over the codes it seems that we really aren't required to have 28 stalls due to our store being split into sales, parts and service. The parts and service stall requirements, based on square footage, we less than that required for sales. The required spaces are 1 per every 250 square feet of gross floor area for retail, and I per every 400 square feet for parts storage. Our stores square footage are roughly 3500' show room = 14 stalls; parts 1500' = 4 stalls; service/ w/h 2000' = 0 stalls. We would like to use spaces 1 -7 for customers; 8 -14 for display, 15 -21 for customers, 22 -27 for employee parking and temporary holding area for customer equipment over flow during business hours. We would like to increase the size of the trash fence to enclose our recycle and trash bin using stall 28. We would also like to note that outside displays are seasonal and weather related and that for the most part these units are stored in doors during non - business hours. Our plan for the use of parking stalls would change if there were a change in our shop or parts departments converting to retail. If this occurs there will be a reduction in display stalls and increased parking stalls. This would only occur if were to change other departments to retail. Our outdoor display should not require screening so the only change there would be to increase the size of our trash screening if we decide to do that. Finally, we at J & I are proud to be part of the Yelm community and would really like to maintain the highest level of relations with the city and its community. We have been discouraged by not being able to display our merchandise out side. Since we have been displaying strictly inside we have found our business has greatly decreased. Like a nursery, auto or motorcycle dealership it is customary to set up outside displays during business hours, and being in a seasonal business like ours it plays a key role in our success. We are hoping this proposal will meet the standards that have been set forth for all businesses with in the city limits. If you have any questions regarding the proposal please contact myself or Randy Longnecker at 360-491-2069 Sincerely, Greg ongnec President 07/13/2006 12:10 3604915010 d8I POWER EQUIPMENT �ya0 it a Srpu_s 02--2-4 Now PACE 03 ���.a�s�sasasM�s � a..�a.aaaaeswa ���noaeeceas6G6e I A/0 City of Yelm Community Development Department Building Division Phone: (360)458 -840] Fax: (360) 458-3144 Applicant permit NO: SIGN -05- 0530 -YL Issue Date: 04112/2006 (Work must be started within 180 days) Receipt No: 42051 Name: J81 Power Equipment Phone: 3604004000 Address: 10615 Bald Hills Road City : Yelm State'. wa Zip 98597 Froperty Information: Site Address: 10615 Bald Hills Road Assessor Parcel No, 64303300100 Subdivision: Lot Contractor Information: Name: Sign Solutions Inc.
