• • • Open Space Advisory Board Minutes DATE Page 3 of 4 that the Open Space is public property, and defacto "privatization" of these parcels for personal use goes against City policy not to mention sound Open Space management. David Waldman noted that he thinks the city needs to be a good neighbor, and he would like to see a permit system for gardens on Open Space in certain areas. David Waldman moved to re- open the Open Space Rules and Regulations for discussion by OSAB. This motion was not seconded, and the motion failed. 4. Markel Proposal for North End properties. Jeff Moline provided a review of the revised Markel plans for the property. His general feeling is that the housing plan is still too dense, and insufficient with respect to OS dedication. OSAB did note improvements in certain areas, in particular in the elimination of homes on the north side of Hecla Lake. After discussion of the new plans, David Waldman moved to recommend elimination of specific Tots identified in the plan from the east side of Hecla Lake. Bob Hornbostel seconded the motion. The motion failed on vote. OSAB then discussed what level of detail was appropriate when providing comments to City Staff regarding the plans. OSAB concludes that a more general statement of the Board's comments is appropriate at this stage in the process. Gary Mansdorfer moves that the OSAB reiterate its requests with respect to the North End / Hecla Lake Project ares. In particular, OSAB would like to see a 150 foot buffer around Hecla Lake, and an Open Space dedication of 15% of the developable land. John Carron seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. 5. Boulder County Request for Open Space and Trail Protects. Jeff provides overview of County request for input form OSAB. Board discusses Jeff's response, resulting in the following motion: Ted Kowalski moved that 80 acres of Boulder County land currently owned by Storage Tek (the northeast quadrant of the STK property), be added to the City's list as one of the top priorities in response to the county's request for recommendations for 2006 County Open Space Preservation and Trails Projects. John Carron seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. 6. Louisville Lateral ditch work on Davidson Mesa Jeff notes that trees along the ditch, which crosses Davidson Mesa OS, will be cut as part of ongoing maintenance. 7. Callahan Trail Management Agreement
