Re: Outside Storage of Merchandise
Dear Ms. Hill and Christie,
At the end of August last year we reviewed your site for compliance with the Yehn
Municipal Code, Title 17, Zoning. It was mutually agreed, to bring your business into
compliance for outside storage, that you would construct an 8x15 shed, build a sight -
obscuring fence to enclose storage and permanent removal of the tent.
To date you have not complied with the terms of agreement. This leaves the city no
recourse but to start the abatement process. To satisfy the City in the next 15 days you
will need to:
1. Remove all merchandise from the front and side yards visible from the street.
2. Remove the storage shed, tent or any means of cover from the site.
3. Place garbage dumpster and cans out of site or enclose per development
guidelines.
This citation is a Civil Infraction and will be assessed a separate violation for each day
past the 15 days for compliance. You have 5 days after receipt of this notice to appeal
this notice in writing to the hearing board.
Sincerely

Re: Letter of June 14, 2001
Dear Ms. Hill and Christie
Thank you for your response to our letter of June 1, 2001. I will respond to you in the
order of your response.
Accessory buildings over 120 square feet and/or building exterior finish are regulated by
City Code and subject to review for the Central Business District. It was our
understanding that the use of the shed was temporary while the garage was made suitable
for display. Without a land use review from Community Development the shed must be
removed.
We appreciate the removal of merchandise visible from the street. The City is basing our
decision on Zoning Chapter 17.57.060. Where "Storage" is limited to normal and
standard practice. The outside storage of used items for sale would designate you a
"Outdoor flea Market ", which is specifically not allowed in the Central Business District.
We appreciate your compliance with Central Business District regulations for refuse
containers. Location of container must also meet LeMay's standards. Please verify with
Dick Rahn at (253) 537 -8687.
In regards to a covered work area in your backyard. Any remodel or improvement of
your business will need review and approval of a site plan in accordance with Chapter
17.84. An application for site plan review may be picked up at the Community
Development counter.

In response to your letter dated June 1, 2001 we would like to request a few things
clarified. Understand please that our intent is to fulfill our obligation to meet city
ordinances, however, some confusion has come into play and we need some
clarification.
During our August meeting neither Robin Christie nor myself agreed to
"construct" a shed due to the f act that we had already entered into an agreement
and a one -year lease with PS Rentals for the unit currently on the property. This
had already occurred and the building was on site at the time of our meeting with
you. We did promise the removal of the "tent" at the time and fulfilled that
agreement. Due to weather conditions we recently put up a temporary carport
structure to "clean up" the area. If this is in violation please provide us with
specific ordinances pertaining to that structure.
With regards to the letter dated June 1, 2001, I have no problem abiding with
number 1. Removal of all merchandise from side and front yard even though
ordinance 17.40.320 clearly states: Storage or display of merchandise IS allowed
for items that are to be used for RETAIL SALE, rent or for items used in
manufacturing or production, subject to use, provided, however, that such use
shall be confined to privately owned real property only. In regards to number 3
letter dated June 1, 2001, Garbage dumpster needing removal or placed out of
site. We have already met that standard.
It is number 2, the removal of shed, tent or any means of cover from the site that I
am not clear on. This is where we need clarification. Our intent is to remove our
shed upon the lease renewal date August 29, 2001. We can expedite this removal
date however because of the volume of merchandise in this industry, we need
more time to process contents.
We now are down to the final are of concern, the covering in the back yard. Our
desire is to be able to have some sort of area provided out of the weather to house
large items FOR SALE, NOT STORAGE. If we cannot keep the covering please
provide copies of specific ordinances. We have provided a sight - obscuring fence
though not fully completed; we are working within our budget to finish.
We feel that based on ordinance 17.26.010 we provide the very substance of what
that states. Our purpose is to provide the "Central Business District" with "special
characteristics of the existing downtown area." We are promoting a shopping
atmosphere while rehabilitating the existing buildings from what they where in
March 1999.
We feel, we have done what we can and apologize for any misunderstanding or
presumption regarding the ordinances or any perceived violation. Please consider
withholding the penalties until we can remove the storage unit for we cannot work
within the time frame you gave us. If a further hearing or meeting with us is
required please contact us at your convenience and set a time. We are confident
we can resolve this in a timely manner.

Re: Zoning Code Violation — His lighthouse located at 202 Yelm Ave. West
Dear Ms. Hill and Ms. Christie:
On August 22, 2001, the Yelm District Court issued an order to bring the property located at 202 Yelm
Ave. W., into compliance with the City Yelm Zoning Code. The site has not been brought into
compliance as required by the court order, therefore the Community Development Department is referring
this matter back to the court for further action.
The Yelm District Court will be contacting you regarding a court date and time.
As stated in the letter from Gary Carlson, Yelm Building Official, dated June 1, 2001, compliance with
the Yelm Municipal Code requires that the following actions be taken immediately:
1. Remove all merchandise from the front and side yards visible from the street.
2. Removal of the storage shed, tent or any means of cover from the site.
3. Place garbage dumpster and cans out of site or enclose per development guidelines.
If you have any questions I can be reached at 458 -8408.

outdoor display of merchandise through a letter dated March 25, 2004, from Gary
Carlson (copy attached).
Section 17.102.010 YMC indicates that a violation of the provisions of the Zoning Code
or failure to comply with any of its requirements shall constitute a misdemeanor and
such violation shall be punished as provided by the statutes of the state for the

Dear ,
The City of Yelm has received complaints regarding the manner in which your merchandise is
being displayed on the Yelm Avenue West frontage. Pursuant to Yelm Municipal Code
17.57.060 outside storage of merchandise is not allowed, except in specific circumstances.
I had hoped that by allowing the temporary use of the tent that you would be able to store those
items found up front in the tent.
Since we have received a formal complaint we request that you remove the out door merchandise
and temporary tent within the next thirty (days). This allows you to continue until the expected
end of the season and gives you a chance to prepare for next year.
If you have any questions or we can be og help Cathie Carlson, City Planner, or I are willing to
meet with you.

Re: City of Yelm Business License
Dear Ms. Agosto,
The City of Yelm recently received your application for a City Business License from you. The
City can only approve your application under the condition that you comply with the provisions of
the court agreement of August of 2001 regarding that business.
That agreement allowed for outside display of merchandise be on the porch only as long as a
three -foot path was maintained for ease of exit for your customers. It was also agreed that all
portable structures be removed from the site and storage of merchandise outside would only be
allowed behind the fence that was constructed for that purpose.
The short time you have been in business you may now understand the frustration Ms. Hill felt in
trying to operate a business on a site that is does not have adequate room. However, that does
not give you the right to violate City zoning codes. You do have an option of presenting a plan to
the city to increase your business space.
The City of Yelm makes available to it's citizens Wednesday aftemoons to sit down with us and
pre- submit a plan for expansion or change of uses in the city. There Is no fee for the meeting;
however, you submit your plan a minimum of one week in advance of your meeting to give us a

Development Department at 458 -3835.
The City of Yelm will give you 30 days from the date of this letter to comply with the court order or
have an active site plan review filed with the City. Non - compliance will void your Business
License and will leave you subject to penalties as stated in City Code.

Re: Abatement for His Light House
This morning Cathie and I walked on both sides of His Light House and have
determined that they now meet the minimum requirements for their zoning and our
abatement has been satisfied except for the continued display on their porch. To
meet our zoning standards and for safety purposes we request that the Judges order
includes merchandise display of any kind on the front porch.
We are concerned that based on their history that their compliance would be only
temporary. Based on this, we request that the Judge starts their one -year probation
period from today's date. We also request that any zoning violations during this
probation period would trigger an immediate court response of the daily fine of
$150.00 starting from the date of abatement initiation of July 2, 2001.
