Re: Site Plan Approval for Case # SPR-02-8314-YL, Prairie Auto Glass
Dear Mr. Hertel:
It has been some time since we have heard from you, and wanted to follow up with the Site Plan Approval for Prairie Auto Glass.
Under normal circumstances, all conditions of approval must be met before a business receives Certificate of Occupancy. The Prairie Auto Glass business was operating in violation of
Yelm Municipal Code Chapter 17, and Site Plan Approval was required to bring the site into compliance with City regulations.
In light of the Yelm Avenue construction project, some leeway for the required improvements was granted, to allow for the road construction to be completed.
Now that the road construction is complete, the Site Plan Review Conditions of Approval must be met. I have listed below, the conditions that are not complete at this time. Please
complete the following conditions, and request an inspection by the Community Development Department by June 30, 2003.

a paved pedestrian path from street sidewalk to the main entry, and provide pathways through parking lots.

10. Other Conditions of Approval:
