Open Space Advisory Board Minutes June 8, 2011 Page 2 of 6 Tom responded that we have considered adding language to encompass things like trail corridors, which do not exactly fit into open space, but are zoned open space. Joe explained zoning and classification are o separate issues. The management required by a certain classification is primarily dealt with by the management plan. Ms. Greef did an off-leash count: She says she saw 23 total dogs, and 2 were off leash. Frank Sinkalee, 172 S. Raintree Lane o Frequent user of the trail. He states that he appreciates the open space, and that he almost never sees dogs off leash. Susan Smith, 902 Grove Dr. o She wished to bring attention to the fact that one of the trails at Davidson Mesa is crusher fines along the off-leash area, but then it dead ends when it turns west and becomes an unimproved, rocky trail. She expressed that she would like to see that trail improved and upgraded. Ann Mills, 294 W. Sycamore Lane o She would like to bring attention to the problem of traffic in Warembourg Open Space. She reports seeing city vehicles, Code enforcement vehicles, and police cars driving through that open space. Joe responded that the police have a prioritization because they are the enforcement arm on all of the city properties. The police do try to be sensitive, when possible. Spencer pointed out that as public awareness of rules and regulations increases, the need for enforcement activity decreases. Ms. Mills also noted that the vehicles/carts drive too fast through the open space. Alfie Pena, 724 W. Raintree Court o Mr. Pena suggested putting code enforcement on bicycles. Joe pointed out that the code enforcement covers all code enforcement throughout the entire city. VI. Staff Updates Ember: o Working on a rough draft to address management issues at Harney-Lastoka in order to balance the management between the 3 owners. Draft will be coming to OSAB for review once completed.
