Re: Abatement
Dear Mr. & Mrs. McKown,
On November 28, 2001 the City of Yelm sent you a letter (copy attached) requesting
removal of parked vehicles and a plan for appliance /construction material clean up of
your property at 10502 SE Grove Rd. I have not received a response from you. After
several attempts to contact you by phone with no success I have no recourse but to start
the abatement process.
You will have 15 days from receipt of this letter to complete the clean up requested or
face civil action.
At this late date I cannot accept anything but full compliance with the letter. You do
have the right for appeal. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gary Carlson

Re: Business License
Dear Mr. & Mrs. McKown,
It has come to my attention that you have opened your business, AM /PM Thrift and Gift.
Your new business does not change the occupancy of the building and I am processing
your application. You will still be responsible for maintaining Fire Safety and ADA
requirements as under your previous business. A routine Fire Safety Review will follow
this letter in about a week.
During by review of your application it was noted that you have a number of vehicles
stored on your property. City Ordinances (attached) limit outside storage to 30 days. It
was also noted that you have a large number of appliances, construction debris and other
miscellaneous debris that are prohibited under our Nuisance Ordinances.
Due to the fact that the Holiday Season is the busiest time for a new retail business I am
requesting that the vehicles be removed by January 1, 2002 and that the City of Yelm has
received a plan from you by January 7, 2002 showing timely and targeted removal of the
debris and appliances.
If I can be of further help or answer any questions, please feel free to contact me at 458-
8407. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Gary Carlson
