Rick:
The Site Plan Review Committee reviewed your proposal to revise your building permit to place a fixed storefront window instead of filling in a proposed drive through window as conditioned
through the approval of building permit
20110151.The proposed
drive through window, and other elements of a drive through, were not approved through the building permit issuance because they were inconsistent with the site plan review permit that
America’s Credit Union had requested from the City of Yelm, and the City approved on July 28, 2011. Specifically, no mention was made in any of the application materials that a drive
through window was proposed as part of the coffee shop included in the revised site plan review application.As of this date, the Credit Union has not applied for any land use permits
for this proposed use.
Because of this, your previous proposal to install a drive through window and simply sheath the interior was not acceptable as it was inconsistent with both the site plan review approval
and the City’s design guidelines.
The present proposal, which is to install a storefront window, is consistent with the site plan review approval and the design guidelines, and is hereby approved.
Please note that, as with the original building permit approval, none of the other improvements associated with a drive through window, including the ‘future awning’ over the window
shown on the revised
plans, is approved. A drive through window associated with the coffee shop is not approved and would require a new site plan review approval. As noted above, no such application has
been submitted by the Credit Union at this time.If you have any questions regarding this approval, ple
ase contact me at (360) 458-8407.Sincerely
