Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />Oct. 9, 2013 <br />Page 4 of 5 <br />BRAD expressed a lot of interest in improved connections with the <br />CTC. <br />• Lots of comments about way finding at the open houses — <br />especially Coal Creek Trail as it goes through the golf course and <br />the neighborhoods. OSAB also received comments that Coal <br />Creek Trail was confusing in Superior. <br />People want a clear route from western Louisville to downtown — <br />without using downtown streets. <br />o Issues of regional connectivity were raised. <br />• YAB was more concerned with connections into other cities in the <br />area and to Steel Ranch. <br />Public was interested in keeping the diversity of the trail <br />experience, but definitely did not like the concrete trails nearly as <br />well. <br />• Concerns about the social trails on North Open Space <br />• Future meetings: <br />o Oct 10 — Planning (Tom) <br />o Oct 16 — Sustainability (Laura) <br />o Oct 21 — Historic Preservation (Alison) <br />o Oct 21 — Golf Course (Laura) <br />IX. Discussion Item: Flood Damage to Open Space Trail System <br />• Staff was asked by FEMA to identify damage. Staff has mapped the <br />damage on all open spaces. <br />• Coal Creek Trail, Davison Mesa and Coyote Run were the most damaged. <br />• Staff estimates two miles of trail damage, if you were to add it all up. <br />• Small repair projects are being done in-house. <br />• Bigger projects are being done on a contract basis — Davidson Mesa and <br />Coyote Run will probably be done this way, although nothing has been <br />officially decided yet. <br />• Staff will review these properties tomorrow and ongoing with FEMA, who <br />in turn will undertake their own review and determine whether the project <br />is eligible. <br />• OSAB discussed the general contours of the re -building plans — how do <br />we rebuild? Stream bank restoration? Resilience v. restoration? <br />X. Discussion Item: Coyote Action Plan <br />• Limited progress has been made, since the floods have been so time <br />consuming for staff. <br />• Ember plans to meet with other municipalities to see what they have been <br />doing and what language they have used. <br />• Staff has been tracking coyote incident reports using GIS. <br />00064672-1 <br />
