Mr. Ward
Thank you for taking the time to speak with me this morning. During our discussion
regarding outdoor storage located at 711 Yelm Avenue East, you indicted that the
purpose of this area is for outdoor display rather than storage.
Section 17.84.010 YMC requires a site plan review approval for the establishment or
expansion of any commercial activity, provided expansions for storage are exempt from
the review process.
Because you had previously that the use of the fenced area would be for storage only,
the City indicated that the fenced area would have to be screened from public view
pursuant to Section 17.57.060. This is still the case if the area is to be used for storage
only, and screening would be required around the entire perimeter of the storage area.
If you wish to deviate from the requirement of an 8 foot solid board fence, you will need
to submit a proposal, in writing, for review. Any such request should include a
description as to how you believe the proposal effectively screens the storage area.
If you choose to use the fenced are for outdoor display, a site plan review approval will
be required. Through this process, which generally takes between 6 to 8 weeks after a
complete application is received, may include conditions to bring the site to current
standards. Additional landscaping, accessible access to the building, and additional
perimeter landscaping could all be required as part of the site plan review process.
I have attached a site plan review application for your review. Keep in mind that either
the complete fencing or site plan review approval must be complete before you open
your business.
Sincerely,
