Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />March 13, 2024 <br />Page 5 of 12 <br />xv. Michiko: what does it take for a member of OSAB to be present <br />(automatically) for acquisition discussions? <br />xvi. Adam said it (OSAB participation, Council priorities) would be part of the <br />documented acquisition process. He will hopefully bring back more <br />updates at OSAB's May meeting. <br />xvii. Ember: with respect to priorities, sometimes that guidance could end up <br />in the City's Comprehensive Plan. It could be a way to start discussion. <br />For example, what goes into zoning plans — growth, contraction, land use. <br />xviii. Michiko: noted that it's important to think through City Council priorities, <br />rezoning, OSAB role. It's important to make sure we have an approach <br />clarified — especially for industrial and commercial uses — to be clear with <br />Council and Board. <br />xix. Brad: has OSAB been through highest priorities with Council? <br />A. Susan — no face-to-face discussion, just a cover memo <br />accompanying our map. <br />B. Adam — refinement isn't just efficiency, it's also agreement on <br />priorities. 2C — a huge part of that was the concept of creating a <br />reserve, prioritizing acquisitions. <br />xx. Ember reminder that historically, OSAB was asked to stay in its Open <br />Space purview to meet Charter requirements. Need the rest of the priority <br />context to come from council (e.g., for economic development, zoning, <br />land use priorities). <br />8. Action Item: Review and Approval of Open Space Interpretive Education Panel <br />Locations & Concepts. Presented by Catherine Jepson, Open Space Specialist <br />• See memo in the packet for the purpose of discussion (Catherine read aloud). <br />• Part 1 — Panel Locations <br />i. Catherine overview <br />A. 7 locations, some locations with multiple signs, 11 signs total. <br />B. New locations and themes: <br />a. Warembourg — sign about history and importance of <br />drainage ditches for agriculture <br />b. Coyote Run — local wildlife and habitat with focus on <br />mammals and birds <br />c. North — native grassland restoration <br />C. General principles <br />a. Graphic should be understandable <br />b. Body of text — 3-4 sentences; 150-250 words; 8t"-grade <br />reading level; want panels to last in perpetuity (will still <br />have meaning and purpose 20 years from now) <br />ii. Charles: Warembourg ditches — great idea since people might not know <br />about history of this very obvious feature <br />iii. Michiko: Where on Warembourg? Staff said the exact location is still to be <br />determined. <br />iv. Mark: Would be nice to have signage on North Open Space <br />City of Louisville <br />Parks Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov <br />
