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, please contact me at (360) 458-8407
