Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />September 11, 2019 <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />17. Discussion Items: Marshall Lake <br />Laura introduced the topic of possible trail access to Marshall Lake. The Rod & Gun <br />Club leases some land at one end of the lake. Louisville & Superior are the 2 major <br />water owners within FRICO (Farmer's Reservoir and Irrigation Company). Land around <br />the lake is owned by Boulder County. Peter Ruprecht noted that Boulder County does <br />not support using ditches as trail routes due to wildlife habitat concerns, but that other <br />trails could take users relatively easily to the reservoir. Mike noted that the Rod & Gun <br />Club likely stocks the lake at considerable expense & will probably not support other <br />users fishing there without some consideration. Ryan noted that flood mitigation took <br />most of the Boulder County funds for the past 6 years, but now that most of that work is <br />done, trail request funding may be more likely. <br />18. Discussion Item: Miscellaneous Open Space Maintenance &Management <br />Concerns <br />Joel mentioned OSAC's interest in the "Fun Route" concept that communities like Aspen <br />are implementing to promote more use of trails. <br />Laura noted that social trail mitigation is on OSAB's agenda. <br />David asked what the management plan is for Coyote Ridge single-track trail network. <br />Ryan explained that most of these trails are on Century Link property, and that this is <br />their #1 acquisition priority. <br />Tracy asked if OSAB is looking at any parcel acquisition. Laura explained our every-3- <br />year review process and listed the top-ranking several properties. <br />David asked about the status of the disk golf area. Joel noted recent renovations and <br />increased use; additional improvements are in the works. <br />Ryan noted that a new trailhead is under construction from McCaslin out to Boulder <br />Regional trails. <br />Kate Senecal noted an aspirational goal to extend trails down the slope towards Old <br />Town Superior & incorporate some historical aspects. Amenities such as restrooms and <br />water bottle fill station are being considered. <br />19. Adjourn <br />The meeting adjourned at 8:55pm. <br />6 <br />
