Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />April 10, 2013 <br />Page 2 of 5 <br /> <br />00047579-1 <br />o The estimated price is $30 to $32,000 an acre. A 200 acre property <br />would cost approximately $6 - 6.5 million. <br />o The City would be responsible for $1.5 -1.6M, which is 25% of the <br />purchase price, because the property would be purchased under <br />agreement with cooperating entities. <br /> Staff provided a sample of the possible restroom facilities for Harper Lake <br />and/or Aquarius. Staff is considering a vault-style toilet for both of these <br />locations. The restrooms would be handicap accessible. Staff plans to draft <br />a CIP in the near future. <br /> Open Government Training is on Monday, April 29th in Council Chambers. <br />Missy and Catherine are the only people that need to attend. <br /> The Fishing Frenzy event will happen on Friday, April 19th. There are two <br />sessions available: early morning and late morning. <br />o The Warembourg Pond is currently being filled. Fish will be stocked in <br />the next week by Colorado Parks and Wildlife. <br /> Staff has created photo-point documents in order to monitor and track <br />vegetation changes on Open Space properties. <br />o Photos are taken with regularity and in the same location to allow for <br />comparison. <br />o Davidson Mesa, Bullhead Gulch, CTC and the Aquarius Parking Lot <br />will be monitored. <br /> There are four nesting raptors on Open Spaces in Louisville: 3 red tailed <br />hawk nests and one great horned owl. The owl nest has 3 chicks. <br /> The McCaslin & Washington Underpass – The submittal is 90% done. The <br />submittal includes the recommendations from Staff and comments from <br />OSAB from our December meeting. <br />o Dec. 13th, 2012 OSAB Meeting Minutes include the recommendations <br />from Staff and OSAB. <br />o Construction is still anticipated in the summer of 2013. The parking <br />lots will be constructed after the underpass, with construction occurring <br />sometime in the fall of 2013. <br /> Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has proposed to purchase <br />parcels for the US36 Managed Lane/Bus Rapid Transit Project. Property <br />slivers within Davidson Mesa and Damyanovich Open Spaces have been <br />identified. <br />o Council will address this at the next City Council meeting on April 16th. <br />o Joe said that the impacts will be relatively minimal on the Open Spaces <br />because most of the slivers are along the right-of-way along US 36. <br />Joe reports that CDOT is presenting other opportunities that will likely <br />benefit Open Space. <br /> <br />VI.
