• • Open Space Advisory Board Minutes DATE Page 2of2 headed to Council for December meeting.) Markel Proposal for North End properties. Jeff Moline provided a status report on the Markel plans for the property. The Board and Jeff discussed issues of dedication of lands, including ditch and lake dedication pros and cons. OSAB requests a review of the guiding sections of the Louisville Municipal Code regarding dedication of lands for public use. Of particular interest are clauses regarding "suitability of land for dedicated use" and requirements prohibiting "liens and encumbrances ". Board also reviews and discusses memo from Paul Wood requesting input on the dedication issue from OSAB. Due to the absence of several OSAB members and the desire to formally place Paul's memo on the agenda for discussion, action on this item was postponed until the January meeting. Louisville resident Art Phelps reiterated his desire for a "high mobility" area around Hecla Lake. 2. (VII) Board Updates. Ted Kowalski attended this morning's Water Advisory board meeting with several Council members, City Utility staff and the city's water attorney. There appears to be some hesitation from Staff to pursue the ISF idea, perhaps due to misunderstandings regarding the city's exposure and /or obligations under the CWCB program. 3. (VIII) Potential Open Space Identification and Prioritization. Jeff distributes a draft table of candidate lands, with prioritization or "quality" levels (0 -3) for a variety of identified resource values (e.g., vegetation, wildlife, wetlands, cultural, etc.). OSAB notes that the lands currently addressed in the inventory are only those lands previously identified in the 1995 inventory that are also identified in the recent Comprehensive Plan as Open Space reserves. Ted Kowalski suggests that to provide a more comprehensive overview and evaluation of ALL lands inland around Louisville, it would be useful to include all undeveloped lands, regardless of current zoning, use, or designation in the Comp Plan. Discussion of this led to passage of the motion as stated above. Discussion Items for Next Meeting 1. North End Development Plan and Paul Wood memo requesting guidance from OSAB. 2. Prioritization of candidate Open space parcels. Adjourn — The meeting was adjourned at 9:25 pm.
