Re: Voight Wood Working Shop Home Based Industry
Project Number 2012101216 (12 103798 ZM)
Dear Mr. Kantas:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the above referenced permit application by
Country Voight for a Special Use Permit to establish a wood working shop located at
10924 Clark Road, Yelm.
The City of Yelm would like to restate our earlier comments on the above proposed
project.
While the immediate proposal is for a home based industry, the applicant should be
aware that the City would expect that any expansion of the use in the future would not
be consistent with the future zoning of the property upon annexation. The City would
object to any such expansion.
The South Thurston County Coordinated Water System Plan adopted by the City of
Yelm and Thurston County limits the approval of new water systems in unincorporated
areas of Yelm’s water service area to satellite systems approved and managed by the
City of Yelm. As the proposal appears to include the development of a new community
water system, this requirement should be a condition of approval of the Special Use
Permit.
Sincerely,
Grant Beck, Director
Department of Community Development
