Open Space Advisory Board Minutes July 10, 2024 Page 5of7 supposed to be talking about the changes to the ordinance, not other matters related to RTR. o Michiko thinks we need much more clarification about what falls under OSAB review (wildlife corridors, etc.). Rob says OSAB can comment on items like this when the land is dedicated. For example OSAB can suggest that other areas of the property are more appropriate, valuable, or useful to the community due to wildlife habitat, land characteristics, etc. and suggest that to council. o Susan says we need to be careful about having language that is too specific. Andy agrees and is concerned the board will have too many QJ items. o David mentions that for certain types of development all stakeholders within a certain distance of the development get notified of the activity. Can we do something like that here? Rob says possibly but with so many open space parcels near neighborhoods notices would likely be going out to all residents at one point or another. o Andy moves to adopt proposed changes to the ordinance as outlined by Rob. Michiko seconds it and all approve. These changes will be reflected in the upcoming City Council meeting packet. 9. 8:10 pm Action Item: Redtail Ridge Construction Drawings -Trails. Presented by Bryon Weber, PROS Project Manager (60 Minutes). • Bryon gives an overview of his July 2 memo. • Board review of the eight comment items before it goes to Public Works. • Charles comments that he likes the included maps. • David raises the concern that our feedback will go to staff and then to public works but it's unclear when it goes to city council. Byron says council has already approved the preliminary plat so the grading permit can be approved at any time. Public Works has given OSAB another opportunity to provide comments before permits are offered. Rob clarifies that the grading permit is unique in that there is an agreement that they can start grading at any time based on preliminary plat approval. Developer is interested in starting early. • Charles notes that he doesn't recall giving specific feedback about trail locations at the June 2022 meeting. Rob says there were detailed maps with trail locations presented and OSAB was asked specifically about trail locations. He's heard similar comments from others and recognizes there is some misconception and or miscommunication. • David asks if OSAB feels it can make an informed recommendation without having done a site visit to RTR. Charles says he thinks it's too late and isn't necessary. Byron notes that these comments are due by July 16, 2024, so there simply isn't enough time even if a site visit was approved. • Mark asks if some of the trails and paths are existing. Rob says no, everything on the map will be new. City of Louisville Parks Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov
