Open Space Advisory Board Minutes December 14, 2022 Page 3of8 They would like to install a piece of art and install water for the dogs there. No one on the board had heard of the project. Several board members cautioned that a project like this at Davidson Mesa could very well be in violation of the open space land zoning rules and land classification specified in the City Charter. Ember said she'd follow up with Adam regarding board concerns and future process for the project. Susan asked about the report that rangers are experiencing more contentious interactions about dogs off -leash enforcement. Susan asked about the rangers' process and also whether the increased level of contention was city-wide or local. Ember replied that it seems to be city-wide. She also shared the enforcement process related to dog violations. Jessamine asked if there was a consistent reason why these interactions are becoming more contentious. Ember didn't know of a consistent reason but suggested that citizens were still affected by the pandemic and the fire. Board Updates - Susan said that she and Patricia Rogers from PPLAB met and are going to go out to tour potential dog park citing locations on December 27. They plan to create a memo about their findings and would like to have a board discussion item at a future meeting to discuss their memo. Charles wanted to thank his fellow board members who went to the City Council directly to vouch for him during his reappointment process. Helen, Laura, and Ember are planning another wayfinding tiger team meeting to start planning how to allocate the additional wayfinding funding approved for 2023. David created a draft for the Boulder County Trails and Land Acquisition process based on the previous meeting's discussion. It will most likely go to the City Council during January. Public Comments on Items not on the Agenda - Daniel Philip Boutote (2379 Golden Eagle Way) and his associates from the North End HOA came to discuss the potential for fire mitigation on some of the out lots around Hecla Lake and next to their North End neighborhood. They would like to see the City of Louisville do some mowing and do some brush removal, or alternatively to allow the HOA to do so itself. They would also like to have their out lots included in the wildfire contracts. Mark Cathcart (1763 Sweet Clover Lane) shared a map of the area and pointed out the out lots C, D, & E that go through the center of the development. He reported that it is unclear whether the HOA or the city is responsible for maintaining those properties. The HOA is being told by the city that they can't do the work, but if they can't, they want the city to do it. 5
