Council Member Sindt referenced the EDC's disappointment with a lack of locally available health and medical services.

He explained that the Planning Commission recommended additional landscaping to screen the parking areas from the residential uses to the north.

Mr. Morey also presented, as part of the conditional use permit request, a resolution approving a wetland exemption certificate. He explained that the wetland on the proposed building site is exempt from Wetland Conservation Act replacement requirements because it was formed unintentionally as a result of the construction of a storm water holding pond in 1984.

As a result of the fatal traffic accident last week on Pilot Knob Road, Camas has agreed to utilize 160x' Street for. its trucking operations.
