I received your letter on June 9, 2006 This letter is to provide you follow up on the
concerns outlined.
On July 13, 2006 you and I spoke on the phone requesting an update of the outcome of
the Citizen Action Request.
There were concerns at 15707 92nd Way SE, Yelm Wa which included per your
concern:
• Retaining wall not built to code
Reshaping of the berm between the property at 15711 92nd Way SE and the
adjoining property at 15707 92nd Way SE.
• Alteration of the bios wale.
I have investigated your concerns and following are my findings:
The landowner does not require a building permit for a retaining wall. Per
Section 105, Permits under 105.2 Building 4. "Retaining walls which are not over
4 feet (1219 mm) in height measured from the bottom of the footing to the top of
the wall, unless supporting a surcharge or impounding Class I, II or III -A liquids."
The landscaping block wall is only 21 inches tall and does not require a permit
per this section. I've enclosed a copy of the code with this letter.
2. 1 have researched on the concern about the `reshaping of the berm' and cannot
find any information on this nor what it may have looked like before. I would
recommend that you contact the homeowner's association regarding this issue.

3. The previous property owner at 15707 92nd Way SE sought permission from the
City of Yelm Public Works Department before making the changes to the bios
wale. The bioswale is still functioning as designed for storm water runoff.
If you have any questions or I can be of further assistance please don't hesitate to
contact me at 360- 458 -8475.

Larry Hanson, Code Enforcement Officer
