that they use DOLA themselves and his comments are not related to not liking dogs; he loves the park. Marcus pointed out that municipalities and cities typically adhere to certain best practices when they put in dog off -leash areas. He brought pamphlets from the American Kennel Club and Humane Society and both state that the best practices of municipalities implement a buffer zone. Marcus left the pamphlets with staff. He specifically asked that the DOLA area be moved 50 yards west. He explained that this could be done while still enabling use of the existing trail / footpaths already in and adjacent to DOLA. Marcus further explained that the DOLA western gate is adjacent to their yard. Since the fire, trash was tipped over and waste bags were spilled. They were not cleaned up until he called to ask for it to be cleaned up (6 weeks later). Marcus said that Davidson Mesa is 270 acres and DOLA is just 4 acres. There is plenty of room to move it. They paid $34k in property taxes last year; 6 years ago spent $38k for concrete wall; looking at $50k additional wall for more privacy. David thanked Marcus for his comments and Charles briefly suggested that members of the public could help clean up spilled trash when they see it on open space rather than waiting several weeks before calling staff. 8. Action Item: Redtail Ridge Preliminary and Final Plat Review. Presented by Rob Zuccaro, Director of Building, Safety, and Planning Presentation by Rob Zuccaro Refer to presentation in the amended packet. Rob started by explaining that his comments and presentation would mostly focus on process. The Redtail Ridge property was formerly owned and occupied by Storage Tech until 2010 when Conoco Philips purchased the property. Conoco Philips had a planned unit development (PUD) approved, which can't change the underlying zoning standards but can set a lot of design standards. That PUD has since expired. The prior owner also received approval of a general development plan (GDP). The GDP was recorded on the property and doesn't expire; it sets the regulatory standard for zoning for property. In subsequent years there have been a lot of proposals to amend the GDP. City Council approved proposal last year and a subsequent Citizen's referendum resulted in a public vote on the proposed amendments to the GDP. Rob explained that OSAB's role was to review the subdivision plat document which would create developable lots, establish easements and rights of way, including requirements for developer to build infrastructure, etc. Staff asked OSAB to make a recommendation to Council about how to proceed. The subdivision plat also includes public land dedication. A minimum of 12% public land dedication is required for commercial developments in Louisville. See presentation for detail on
