Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />May 13, 2020 <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />Tamara Krantz 691 West Street. Curious if there would be more discussion on <br />Redtail Ridge. <br />8. 7:20 pm Discussion Item: Conservation Easement Proposal for the Project <br />321 (Medtronic) PUD. Presented By Lisa Ritchie, Planning Department. (20 <br />Minutes) Lisa Ritchie -Presentation power point; Ryan Construction; <br />Medtronic also available. <br />Red Tail Ridge GDP is under review its approximately 390 acres of the formal <br />Storage Tek property. This review includes a land dedication of Open Space, <br />Trail, and Parks. The Plat will be brought to you for review next month for larger <br />discussion. <br />Within Red Tail Ridge GDP we are now seeing PUD applications, architecture, <br />parking landscaping come forward. <br />Tonight Medtronic is proposing a 7 acres conservation easement buffer on the <br />northern part of Medtronic. No public access within the conservation easement; <br />enhanced landscaping in entry. <br />Question: <br />Jessamine -Who monitors conservations easements? <br />Nathan- Currently we don't hold conservation easements. We wouldn't monitor it. <br />We would have to look to other agencies. <br />Charles- Parcels A & C might be residential; F is Open Space so an easement <br />through B2 could make for good trail connectivity to F. Lisa -Medtronic applicant <br />asked to consider trail access but Medtronic said no because of security <br />protocols. OSAB should encourage -public benefit for conservation easement if <br />desired. <br />David -question regarding the pond in northeast corner. Lisa's response- The 7 <br />acre conservation easement wouldn't preclude the pond from being protected. <br />Helen -Propose to OSAB that OSAB would generally be in favor of this buffer <br />adjacent to open space, but we would like access through the site. Therefore, <br />regarding Question 3 we are interested in access to the site. Height and <br />clustering may be worth it to have the 7-acre conservation easement. Peter <br />agree with Helen's comments. <br />David— Going in excess of twice the height requirements. Need a variance <br />regardless at the site. Lisa- Operational perspective for Medtronic; we would <br />need to use more land if we go with less height; applicant would have to address <br />it. <br />Helen -what would this height do to view shed? <br />
