Open Space Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />April 10, 2024 <br />Page 3 of 6 <br />■ Improve and increase public education and engagement around open <br />space issues <br />■ Prevent urban crawl, connect open space properties with other cities <br />■ Prioritize climate change resilience and decarbonization <br />■ Enable fewer cars, more bikes for transportation <br />■ Strengthen local business opportunities to enhance sales tax revenue <br />■ Balance economic vitality with preserving healthy open spaces for <br />citizens, animals, and plants <br />■ Remove barriers between council and advisory boards <br />■ Develop west -side community park and farmer's market <br />o Brad provided an update on the S. Boulder Rd. property on which OSAB had <br />voiced support for acquisition last summer. The property is technically for sale, <br />but the seller can't receive offers as they are working through deed restrictions <br />with the city. Councilmember Deb Fahey was in attendance and said that Council <br />is aware of the deed restrictions and understands that it was originally supposed <br />to be county low-income housing. <br />o Brad also mentioned that there is a property adjacent to North Open Space that <br />is for sale with a list price of $4 million. It is the southern half of a 35-acre <br />property and used to be a horse farm. Anybody with contacts on the county <br />POSAC (Boulder County Parks and Open Space Advisory Committee) or the <br />Lafayette Open Space Advisory Committee should contact Ember with <br />information to see whether looping them in would be a logical next step. <br />8. 7:20 pm Action Item: Finalize OSAB Work Plan Priorities for 2024. Presented <br />By Susan McEachern, OSAB Chair (30 Minutes) <br />OSAB work plan properties for 2024 were discussed as presented in the packet and <br />Jessamine voiced support for a few additions: advise staff and council on operational and <br />capital projects and quasi-judicial matters as requested, participate in public outreach and <br />education events, and volunteering activities to support the profile of the Open Space <br />Division in the city. <br />David mentioned that wayfinding should be added to the work plan as well. Michiko <br />expressed the importance of having open space and trail sections of the Parks, Recreation, <br />Open Space, and Trails (PROST) master plan. Ember mentioned that it was the <br />department's agreement with the city manager that we are just doing a PROST master plan <br />and not an open space specific plan. <br />City of Louisville <br />Open Space Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov <br />
