Missy made a motion to present the following OSAB recommendations to staff and Council: 1) Option B is strongly preferable 2) Include lake in NE corner as part of public land dedication 3) OSAB is open to discussion of reducing other public lands areas to accommodate the lake area 4) Provide trail corridors leading to/from the lake 5) Preserve option to build a trail along the Goodhue ditch leading towards downtown Louisville. 6) Strongly prefer land dedication vs cash in lieu Peter seconded.
