Open Space Advisory Board Minutes November 13, 2013 Page 3 of 4 D There is an area that was dedicated on the plat for open space purposes. The intent was to use the property as a trail. c Since that time, there has been a study that suggests that that trail is no longer in an ideal location. D Instead, the City is proposing swapping a portion of the original land dedication with RMCS's Lanterns parcel. This would allow the City to obtain an interest in, and build a trail in, the property that will be used to connect to the proposed Hwy 42 underpass. c This land swap would not create a full trail corridor, and there would need to be additional interest obtained in order to have a full, connected corridor. However, there are a couple of ways that this could happen — there are two separate properties that could be used. • Unanimous approval of the land swap. IX. Discussion Item: New Trails Open House • Tom went to the Planning Commission. o Member of the public discussed social trails on the North Open Space. He and asked about keeping those trails maintained during the winter. Suggestion to keep Coal Creek Trail along the Creek itself. Tom reported that he got a solid response from both the Commission and the public in attendance. • Laura was at the Golf Course Advisory Board, Library Booth and the Sustainability Board. o Board members expressed interest in perimeter trails. o Laura also heard comments related to keeping Coal Creek Trail along the Creek in the Golf Course. o Laura said that she wasn't able to get many comments from the Golf Course Advisory Board, since the meeting she had attended was the first since the flood. • Laura brought up the point that this may be a great time to suggest that Coal Creek trail be rerouted through Coal Creek Golf Course, since the Golf Course rehabilitation planning is still in the nascent phase. • Recommendation: OSAB requests that, during the development of plans for the rehabilitation of the Coal Creek Golf Course, Staff include options to realign the Coal Creek Trail to remain within the Coal Creek corridor between Dutch Creek and the Dillon Rd. Bridge, without going through the St. Andrews Road neighborhood area. o Unanimously passed the recommendation. 4
