1506 Yelm Ave W 061906City of Yelm Community Deuelopment Department 105 Yelm Avenue West P.O. Box 479 Yelm, WA 98597 July 19, 2006 Stephen J. Crane Crane Dunham, PLLC 800 Fifth Avenue, Suite 4000 Seattle, WA 98104 Dear Mr. Crane: This is in response to your voice mail and letter dated July 19, 2006, regarding the Yelm City Market and your client, Mr. Richard Kim. Specifically, you ask whether the land use violation noted in the City's April 6, 2006, letter to your client had been resolved at this time. As you know, your client changed the approved configuration of a joint use parking lot used by the Yelm City Market and Cascade Mini -golf, part of which was to paint 'no-parking' on some of the approved joint use stalls and to change stall locations. The City of Yelm, and specifically Larry Hanson, the City's Code Enforcement Officer, has attempted to work with your client and Frankie Davis, owner of Cascade Mini -golf to resolve the violation in a manner which satisfied both parties. Towards this end, Mr. Hanson worked with both parties which resulted in, on May 16, 2006, an agreement that Mr. Davis would complete the work by June 16, 2006, and that Mr. Kim would be notified in advance of the work to be completed. Since the agreement has been in place, the City has not pursued any further action, as the original complainant had agreed return the parking lot to it's approved configuration. The City's interest is to maintain a parking lot that meets City standards as well as serves the needs of both businesses, as required by the land use approval and implemented through the joint use parking agreement. If you have any further questions regarding the status of the violation, please contact Larry Hanson, Code Enforcement Officer, as I will be out of the office the remainder of this week.

As you have been previously informed, the current parking lot configuration is not what was approved as part of the land use approval for the Mini Goff facility and is not consistent with the standards for parking lots found in the City's Development Guidelines. The lot needs to be returned to its approved configuration. I have attached a copy of the approved packing lot layout for your use.

The number of spaces available to both the Market and mini -golf facility may not be reduced through signing or re- striping.

My clients have provided to me a copy of your letter of April 6 regarding alleged '.changes' made by them to the parking lot configuration. I have seen the lot myself, and it appears that all they did was to repaint the existing strips that had faded in front of' their store. This was done, in part, to the blockage of the entry of their store by their landlord (see attached photo showing Mr. Davis' truck parked across the parking stalls). Please call me to discuss whether there is still a problem and if so, what if anything you specifically want my clients to do. As long as they have access to their store, they are more than willing to do what the City wants them to do. I am sure, however, that you can appreciate why a small business owner can not have his store entrance blocked from customers' access to it. I would like to get a letter back — you can fax it to me at 206. 292 -9736 — that acknowledges receipt of this letter and explaining to me what if anything, specifically, you want my clients to now do to resolve the City's concerts. This is urgently needed as there is a Court hearing on Friday morning on a dispute between the Kims and their landlord, Mr. Davis. Also, our office would like to get by fax from you a copy of the attachment referenced in your April 6 letter.

Box 479 Yelm, WA 98597 March 7, 2006 Richard and Sarah Kim Yelm City Market 1506 Yelm Avenue West Yelm, WA 96597 Dear Mr. And Mrs. Kim: In the recent past, Larry Hanson, the Community Development Department's Code Enforcement Officer, has spoken to you about a complaint the City received regarding your use of the Yelm City Market building at 1506 Yelm Avenue West for residential purposes. At that time, you indicated to Mr. Hanson that you were not sleeping in the building and understood that doing so would be in violation of building codes as the facility does not meet the requirements for an accessory dwelling unit within a commercial building. Since your discussion with Mr. Hanson, the Community Development has been provided a copy of letter from your attorney, Mr. Steve Crane, in which Mr. Crane states that the property is both your home and business. The City has also received a copy of a food inspection establishment inspection report conducted by the Thurston County Environmental Health Division which indicates that there is an office with a bed and closet, with a solid door, and that "wife & husband do sleep here ". In order to legally convert a portion of the structure for living purposes, a building permit will be required from the City of Yelm and all residential requirements must be met. Until such time as the living unit within the structure is legally converted, residential occupancy must cease. As you have illegally occupied a portion of the building after discussing this matter with the City's Code Enforcement Officer, it appears to be a willful violation of the building codes, and the Community Development Department will take action if the violation continues. rel Gra t Beck, Director Department of Community Development C.

As long as they have access to their store, they are more than willing to do what the City wants them to do. 1 am sure, however, that you can appreciate why a small business owner can not have his store entrance blocked from customers' access to it. I would like to get a letter back — you can fax it to me at 206. 292 -9736 — that acknowledges receipt of this letter and explaining to me what if anything, specifically, you want my clients to now do to resolve the City's concems. This is urgently needed as there is a Court hearing on Friday morning on a dispute between the Kims and their landlord, Mr. Davis. Also, our office would like to get by fax from you a copy of the attachment referenced in your April 6 letter.
