Plannmg CommiSSIOn Mmutes January 25, 2006 Page 2 COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE PUBLIC None STAFF REPORTS Principal Planner Nathan West suggested that the commissioners begin considering items or issues that they would like to have become matters of discussion when the County Planning Commission and City Planning Commission meet in a joint session. This led to a number of issues being discussed, including protection of wildlife corridors, the development of the sewer system in the eastern Urban Growth Area, housing availability and affordability, job creation, business retention in the downtown area, disconnected sidewalk system and other items. It was suggested that the commission consider these and other issues that might be included on a list of priority issues to be brought to the Port Angeles Forward committee. Commissioner Johnson asked staff if they had done the requested research on the multi- family structure that had been brought up during the discussion at the previous Planning Commission meeting regarding Campbell Avenue development. Planner Johns responded with the information that was received from Public Works and Utilities Department. REPORTS OF COMMISSION MEMBERS None ADJOURNMENT :10p.m. PREPARED BY: S.
