What is the scope of the Open Space Board's mission here? Per the minutes, regarding Red Tail Ridge Development the focus has been on trails and passive recreation usage for Open Space.

Slide 3-lower plot developments on either side of Medtronic has prairie dog rich areas. Could the public land take on displaced prairie dogs? Ways to increased wildlife habitat? Displaced prairie dogs also includes displacement of hawks, owls, etc. Is wildlife habitat part of your thinking about this? Helen-OSAB is part of a group of Boards for decisions on public land on this location. We talked about corridors for wildlife and riparian zones with current open space property. Parks Board also has input into this process. Start with GDP then go into PUD portion section B — so this is focus at this point. No Open Space is being proposed in B. OSAB agrees with the first three questions asked of us tonight. OSAB desires trail connections. Cindy Bedell, 662 W. Willow St., Louisville- Cindy looked through the most recent version of Open Space Comp Plan. Different reasons for Open space were listed beyond recreational use. Encourage having the buffer. Connecting trails also important. Reminder that the GDP amendment hasn't been approved so it's not that OSAB has to approve conservation easement in exchange for height buffer.

However, good reflection on keeping the area more pristine and preserving NW corridor.
