O Open Space Advisory Board Minutes DATE Page 3 of 4 See previous bullet re: David Waldman's question about trail placement. o Dogs on Open Space: The Board discussed the need to hear citizen concerns and requests regarding Open Space Rules and Regs and the Master Plan. OSAB should be a sounding board for any and all issues of concern to the public. There was a brief discussion about the need to support this public input while also standing behind the Master Plan and Rules and Regs which have been developed through a comprehensive public involvement process as well. North End Project Jeff gave a brief update on the North End Project status, including Lafayette's interest in preserving additional acreage for Open Space. The Board asked Jeff to investigate this possibility in more detail and gauge the level of commitment on Lafayette's part. The Board proposed and passed a motion regarding its position with respect to Open space lands associated with the project, as noted previously. Open Space Zoning Jeff provided the board with a memo outlining the requirements and guidelines for creation of an Open Space Zoning District. The Board discussed the potential merit of having multiple Open Space zoning district types as a means of distinguishing between lands of differing values (e.g., ecological vs. development buffering), and the types of activities that should be allowed on those different land types. Jeff expressed some concern about creating a zoning district that would be overly restrictive for the Land Management Department and possibly would shift some Open Space decision - making control to the Planning Commission. It was suggested that the zoning district should be minimally intrusive to the Land Management Staff, and that issues of Open Space designations and management need to remain wholly within their control and not be defined by the Zoning Title in the Municipal Code. Jeff will revise and formalize the proposed zoning district definitions and present at the next meeting for additional discussion. Agenda Items for Next Meeting 1. North End Development Plan. 2.
