Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />November 10, 2021 <br />Page 5 of 5 <br />Additional material - Helen's email to Nathan from 11/10. <br />Dear Nathan, <br />Brief comments/notes: <br />Generally some worry about the "slippery slope" of opening up the active recreation categories <br />on Open space when our code calls for passive recreation <br />Specific concerns about this change: <br />Are we going to provide a link or names of properties classified in the City of Louisville Open <br />Space Master Plan as "Open Space — Visitor Land" and "Open Space — Other Lands", - where <br />can people find this information? <br />I think our stewardship of the land is not limited to wildlife so I think damage to vegetation is <br />another limit that we should add call out in the code, if vegetation is too broad perhaps an <br />acceptable definition from Steve or experts - native vegetation... perennial vegetation ... <br />foundation vegetation, etc... <br />If we have damage happening to vegetation we would want the ability to close or reroute access <br />to the hill. <br />If we allow sledding do you think folks will want to try skiing or mountain ski -biking in these <br />areas? Will these activities be allowed there? <br />Should we include a restriction for safety and proximity to roads or trails to avoid collisions or <br />dangerous intersections? <br />I understand we want to be open to new appropriate passive or low impact recreation but <br />perhaps we should add to the list to include ice skating as a prohibited activity (to support signs <br />and warnings at our ponds) <br />Thanks for the opportunity to ask these questions and share my ideas and comments. <br />Cheers, <br />Helen <br />E:3 <br />
