IU Cityof <br />Louisville <br />COLORADO • SINCE 1878 <br />remove two large 80-100 year old cottonwood trees located <br />adjacent to the bike path on the south east corner of the <br />Recreation Center. Chris Lichty reviewed multiple phots <br />that documented damaged areas, decayed zones, and <br />liability of tree failure of decay columns. Also discussed <br />were the benefits to nesting bees, raptors, and other <br />wildlife. <br />Citizen based discussion and feedback included history of <br />Cottonwood Park cottonwood tree that was removed, <br />revealing large voids in the trunk. Concerns arose about <br />sanctity of life regarding danger of falling limbs versus <br />public sentiment to maintain trees by moving trail away <br />from fall line. <br />VIII. Clementine Development Review: Alan Gill and <br />Clementine Architect, Erik Hartronft reviewed the <br />Clementine 1.4 acre proposed development and trail <br />connection to the Coal Creek Trail.

Recommendations were made to <br />remove turf on #4a, permanent irrigation placement #4b, <br />and no determination was made on #5. <br />IX.
