Open Space Advisory Board Minutes August 14, 2019 Page 3 of 4 City -owned properties for which OSAB review & recommendations had been requested by a council member were discussed individually. "Leave as is" means to not zone as Open Space, and "Yes" means to zone as Open Space. Property 7: Majority voted to change Zoning recommendation to "leave as is". Property 4: Ember noted that maintenance would shift to more weed control if it's zoned as OS. Majority voted to change Zoning recommendation to Yes. Property 5: Majority voted to change Zoning recommendation to Yes. Property 8: Ember suggested PPLAB look at it for possible park development. This is not a City owned property; it's owned by Lafayette and is somewhat confusing to have a place on the master list. Majority voted to change Zoning recommendation to "No Action". Property 1: Majority voted to retain Zoning recommendation to "Leave as is". Property 2: Majority voted to retain Zoning recommendation to "Leave as is". Property 3: Majority voted to retain Zoning recommendation to "Leave as is". Property 6: Peter noted that there is no development potential for this property, and that the retention pond and riparian area will be protected. David noted that it doesn't belong on the master list because it's owned by Lafayette. Majority voted to retain "Lafayette PUD" in the Acquisition Strategy column. Ember suggested color coding properties that we are not interested in and placing at the bottom of the list. OSAB agreed. N2 & N3: Majority voted to retain "Fee Simple" in the Acquisition Strategy, to encompass the possibility of subdivision and trail corridor connections. 10. Discussion Item: Recommendations from OSAB to City Council Regarding the Annual Request to Boulder County Parks & Open Space for Trails and Properties (see pgs. 10-64 of the August 2019 OSAB Meeting packet) Ember suggested considering additional properties. Peter moved to add the three Mayhoffer properties (D1, D4, and D5) to the Annual Request response with these three properties as Request #1. Helen seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Ember noted two possible trails for consideration: Harney Lastoka area and a trail connection following the irrigation ditch through Warembourg. Laura suggested including these options next year rather than this year, as the trail plans are in the preliminary phase. Peter moved to accept the trail recommendations as written. David seconded. The motion passed unanimously. 11. Discussion Item: Identify Potential Discussion Items for Join Meeting with Superior Open Space Advisory Committee Ember reported that Superior has requested a joint meeting, probably in September. Laura asked for discussion items at this meeting; suggestions noted below: Peter: discuss the trail connection from US-36 to the single-track. David: discuss Coal Creek corridor near the new Element hotel.
