Lisa Michot, Lafayette, Oct. 03, 2021 Please do not add additional lighting and ruin the night sky views. I prefer the options B and C which provide for more trails and a loop. Please preserve the natural beauty of the open space and do not add any additional structures or public art. Please keep it wild. Kyle Babcock, Lafayette, Oct. 01, 2021 Preserving the land would be extremely beneficial to wildlife and I fully support this proposal. Casey Lyons, Lafayette, Oct. 01, 2021 I would be madness to do anything but preserve this area for wildlife and support the Coal Creek riparian zone. To celebrate the human history of the area is to put used toiled paper in a museum. Save Coal Creek, full stop. Public Comments Received Through E-mail Flo. B, Lafayette, Oct. 4, 2021. Hello Everyone, I am writing because I want my voice to be heard. I live in Lafayette, my family has been here for 11 years. My main comment is to STOP building on every inch square of nature there is. Nature is needed for our well-being in general. Nature is needed for other animal species to live. Nature is needed for us all. Nature is needed; Money is wanted (not needed). I remember participating in the survey that CU students had a few months ago. I was walking with my kids and my pets along Coal Creek when the CU students asked for a few minutes of my time. The Coal Creek trail is fantastic, even if it climbs steeply as the trail heads to Louisville. This is good exercise for everyone. Coal Creek trail and space around it -not like the Coal Creek trail housing addition that ruins the nature feel of the Coal Creek corridor. Huge expensive houses that have no style or character just a pile of bricks on concrete. It is nice to enjoy a separation between cities as well. Green boundaries between Lafayette and Louisville should prevail. A very large fraction of residents in either Lafayette or Louisville has chosen to live here because of the sub -urban feel of the small cities. Remember, the cities cannot grown indefinitely into an urban sprawl. You will loose your residents. My voice and perspective on the Mayhoffer Farm Open Space is to leave it as is. It is a beautiful open space that Coal Creek trail passes through. People enjoy the mountain views, the fresh air, the little mountain to climb up and down before reaching Louisville. It is a nice area as it is. Please do not put concrete over grass and habitats. If anything, plant a few trees! Oxygen provided by trees is more important to the overall survival of our species than money for a few mayors/cities and mega contractors. Thank you.
