PLANNING COMMISSION HEARING:
At their open record hearing, the Planning Commission considered the Staff Report and application
materials for the Comprehensive Plan Designation request. Several members of the Ephrata Sportsmen
Association were present and were not in support of commercial development so close to the gun range.
The applicant's agent stated their client would be willing to take twenty (20) acres off the north end of the
pipe stem portion of the property to give the gun club some protection. Many of the gun club members
were in favor of that option. After some discussion the Planning Commission recommended that the
northern eighty (80) acres be removed from the UGA designation and remain Rural Remote. The agent
(Larry Angell, Columbia NW Engineering) for the applicant stated that there client would agree to those
conditions. Draft minutes of the hearing can be found in Attachment A.
The Planning Commission conducted an open record hearing for this application on July 21, 2010. At
their hearing the Commission voted to recommend the north eighty (80) acres be removed from the
proposal with the remaining 167 acres being re -designated to Commercial (Urban) for this application.
