Open Space Advisory Board Minutes January 8, 2014 Page 3 of 10 • Tom Davinroy: A pair of coyotes were spotted on the Coal Creek Golf Course. VIII. Public Comments on Items Not on the Agenda • Sandy Stewart, 649 Augusta Drive. Mr. Stewart is a member of the Golf Course Advisory Board (GCAB). He noted there are strong similarities between GCAB and the Open Space Advisory Board (OSAB) insofar as both are interested in delivering the best facilities and resources to the citizens of Louisville at the best value. GCAB is working diligently to address flood damage repair to the golf course as well as mitigate damage done to homes surrounding the golf course. The GCAB would like to encourage all citizens of Louisville to use the golf course. Mr. Stewart saw in OSAB minutes the interest of OSAB to improve the route of the trail as it runs near to the golf course and encourages further OSAB engagement while the GCAB is in the midst of repairing damage. Mr. Stewart would encourage OSAB to bring forth any trail rerouting suggestions to the Gold Course Open House on January 15 at the Golf Club House at 5 pm. Tom Davinroy, Missy Davis and Helen Moshak committed to attending the Open House. IX. Discussion & Action: Cottonwood Park Townhomes Preliminary PUD and Plat.

Alan: No, the proposed HOA would mow and maintain the proposed non - developed acreage. • Tom: Would the HOA have the option of constructing a pool or other like structure? Joe: Yes, if that is something they came back to the City and proposed, and the City approved. Tom requested clarification on the size of the parcel that would be maintained by the HOA.
