Dear Mr. Duckworth,
The City of Yelm has received complaints from the neighborhood about the collection of junk cars and garbage that has been accumulating on the property you own at 15727 SE 95th Ct,
Yelm, WA. The presence of these junk vehicles is a nuisance and a violation of Yelm Municipal Code Title 10.20.010:
No “unlicensed and/or inoperable motor vehicle,” as such term is defined in RCW Title 46, shall be stored on any premises within the city for a period exceeding 30 days, unless the same
is stored within an enclosed structure. Violations thereof shall be attributed to the owner or owners of record of the real property. (Ord. 367 § 1, 1990)
The accumulation of garbage and spare tires is a violation of Yelm Municipal Code Title 8.12.040:
It shall be the duty of every person in possession, charge or control of any premises within the city where waste materials are created or accumulated, to at all times keep or cause
to be authorized by the city a container, for the deposit therein of waste material, and to deposit or cause to be deposited such waste material therein. (Ord. 173 § 5, 1974).
Violation of these chapters shall be deemed a civil infraction, venue and jurisdiction thereof to lie to the municipal court of the city. Upon finding that such infraction has been committed
by a property owner, the same shall be susceptible to a civil penalty not exceeding $250.00 for each count thereof. Each day of continued violation shall be susceptible to separate
citation and civil penalty. (Ord. 367 § 3, 1990)
Your cooperation will be appreciated by the City of Yelm and your neighborhood. If I can be of assistance or you have any questions please contact me. Thank you.
Sincerely,
