To Whom It May Concern: March 10, 2010
The intent of this letter is to request an occupancy rating from the city for our secondary facility
behind our current place of business to be used as a place for hunter's education. The property has been used
in the past as an office for the White Elephant that resides at 12614 E. Sprague. The White Elephant, which is
owed by John Conley, Rich Conley, and Pat Conley, was contacted by the Washington State Hunter's
Education Instructors, a nonprofit organization, in November of 2009. The instructors informed Pat Conley
that they had lost their past facilities and were hoping the White Elephant would be able to help with new
facilities.
The White Elephant has used that space at 12624 E. Sprague, for the past 21 years as an office,
storage of retail goods to be sold in the main store, and for seasonal sales. The space has since been refinished.
The main floor of the building has been repainted, lighting improved and new cabinets installed. In
conjunction with Washington State Hunter's Education needs, new tables and chairs are to be available to
provide for 20-40 students at a time. The students will range from children to adults. Washington State Fish
and Wildlife provides property and liability insurance for the facility while occupied by Hunters Education.
It is the White Elephants intent to lease the space to the Hunter's Education for $1 a month. The
lease is an open ended lease with the intention to provide the space until the instructors no longer require the
facility. We view this as an opportunity to provide a service back to the community to improve education as
well as promote local businesses.
