To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to notify the City of Yelm that LeMar Acres Mobile Home Park in Yelm, WA, continues to be
for sale. This property has been up for sale since 7/25/2005 and on this date we notified all tenants in
writing and gave the tenants information from the Office of Manufactured Housing. The court has capacity
to hold 19 tenants, but as of today, we only have 16 tenants. We have enclosed a copy of the
Rules /Regulation and Lease Agreement given to the tenants of LeMar Acres. We were recently informed
that we also needed to send a letter to Office of Manufactured Housing, Yelm City, Thurston County
Auditor, Thurston County Housing Authority and the Washington State Housing Finance Commission.
LeMar Acres is owned by Leo Lefebvre, 88, of Yelm, WA. Owning this park has brought great joy to Leo
and Marion Lefebvre over the last forty plus years, but the past few years it has been a hardship on the
owners. Two years ago Leo was diagnosed with bladder cancer and for the past five years he cared for
his ailing wife, Marion. With Marion's passing and Leo's fragile status, he realizes that owning the
park is very difficult for him and probably contributing to his poor health.
For the past four years, there has been a "for sale by owner" sign posted at LeMar Acres, with Leo and
Marion not actively looking for a realtor to sell the property. He plans on listing the property with a real
estate agent within the next month. When the property is listed, we will have the realtor send a copy of
the listing to all county and city officials, along with a copy of the listing to all tenants in the Mobile Home
Park. We will also post notices at the two park entrances.
Estimating the timetable for removing mobile homes is dependent on the sale of the trailer court. As we
stated, we have included a disclosure about the mobile home park being for sale on every contract
between the tenants and LeMar Acres since 2005. We have included the names and mailing addresses
of the current registered park tenants.
If there are other requirements required of Leo Lefebvre related to notifications, announcements, etc.,
could you please contact him at 360- 458 -7387. Mr. Lefebvre is extremely hard of hearing and has a
CapTel phone that assists him with closed captions, so please be patient when speaking with him. He
often relies on his children or grandchildren to help with phone conversations.
Sincerely,
Leo Lefebvre, Owner of LeMar Acres
