RECOVERY NEWS <br />Over the past several months, Louisville has made <br />tremendous strides on our road to recovery. When <br />we mailed our Summer Community Update, Private <br />Property Debris Removal (PPDR) had just gotten <br />underway. Now, thanks to the work of dozens of crews <br />across hundreds of sites, that effort is nearly complete. <br />Major demolition activities have wrapped up, though a <br />few crews continue to operate in Louisville, Superior, <br />and unincorporated Boulder County for soil testing, <br />hydromulching, and closeout of properties. We're <br />pleased to report that debris removal permits have now <br />been issued for all impacted properties in Louisville, <br />whether they chose to participate in the public PPDR <br />program or opted for private removal. <br />As we move forward, it is important to remember the <br />road to recovery and rebuilding is long and complex. <br />Every property owner is navigating a different stage of <br />this process, and the timeline looks different for each <br />individual. The City will continue to support each <br />resident through the journey from debris removal to <br />cleared lots to new construction and finally moving <br />home. <br />Planning & Building Updates <br />Some residents have entered the rebuilding phase of <br />their journeys, and it has been heartening to watch <br />as foundations are poured and frames are erected. <br />As of August 17, Louisville's Planning and Building <br />Department has issued 25 rebuild permits. <br />Do you have questions about the permitting process? <br />At LouisvilleCO.gov/building, you'll find a host of <br />resources, including a helpful flowchart which details <br />the permitting process step by step. <br />If you need more help, Planning and Building staff is <br />available to meet in person at City Hall or online via <br />Zoom to answer your questions on the rebuilding <br />process and requirements. To make an appointment, <br />visit LouisvilleCO.gov/Appointment. <br />Recovery Navigators Update <br />Staff with the Recovery Navigators program have <br />begun assisting residents affected by the Marshall Fire <br />and associated straight-line winds. This free service, <br />offered through the Navigating Disaster for Boulder <br />County program, offers short and long-term support, <br />either in -person orvirtual, to help residents navigate the <br />recovery and rebuilding process. <br />Individuals and families will be assigned a navigator to <br />work one-on-one with, providing a broad array of <br />support, including referrals to legal and insurance <br />providers, comprehensive recovery planning resources, <br />financial resources for rebuilding, and mental health <br />services. <br />Additionally, navigators will assist residents with <br />applications for available rebuilding funds allocated <br />by the State, Federal and other philanthropic sources. <br />Please note that building permits must be in process <br />before filling out the applications. <br />Recovery Navigators are located at 717 Main Street <br />in Louisville, but walk-in service is not available at this <br />time. To set up an appointment, call 303-446-7782 or <br />email NavigatingDisasterBOCO@Ifsrm.org. <br />Due to high demand, response times may be delayed. <br />Utility and City Repairs <br />The City continues to meet with utility providers <br />regularly to ensure that all parties are up-to-date on <br />the progress of Private Property Debris Removal and <br />can begin scheduling utility repairs in the affected <br />neighborhoods. As of this writing, utility repairs have <br />begun on Arapahoe Circle and the Enclave. As crews <br />advance, more will be known on anticipated timing of <br />further areas. Work is also underway on a repair project <br />for fire -damaged fences on Louisville public lands. <br />TOGETHER WE WILL <br />RECOVER & REBUILD <br />L`i City,,, <br />Louisville <br />Fall 2022 • Page 3 <br />
