Parks and Public Landscaping Advisory Board <br />Minutes <br />May 7, 2025 <br />Page 3 of 9 <br />Timing of future construction in the northern part of the McCaslin/ Via Apia <br />intersection where hillside is sliding onto city property and sidewalk where <br />structural issues need repair may delay part of the restoration of the <br />Cornerstone planting. City will replant as access becomes available, but <br />completion date is indefinite. <br />Signe commented that Staghorn sumac could be invasive. <br />Staff commented that serviceberries, cotoneaster, and mock orange <br />shrubs are considered native, Miss Kim lilac survived the fire, seems OK <br />to move ahead with current plan. <br />Staff noted that any requested changes will delay project completion. <br />Comments from Lisa Hughes, resident of cornerstone. No HOA in that <br />development. Expressed Thanks for efforts to replant, and happy to see <br />progress. Please refer to Public comments received by Parks <br />Department. Currently provided bed sketches hard to locate in the planting <br />area. Reference to a photograph would be nice! <br />Residents are wondering how City will be working with east side trees that <br />have survived the fire? How will those be accommodated? Concerned <br />that data for Native plants reference eastern seaboard and are not <br />appropriate for Colorado. Cornerstone community has worked hard to <br />receive a Fire Wise community designation, and does not want to risk <br />losing that designation. Community members suggest that the CSU plant <br />list and CSU Fire-resistant data is the best to use. <br />Cornerstone does not want pinion pines replaced at the corner of Via <br />Apia. These were taken out, so no problem! <br />Cornerstone community is grateful for City's design work on the rest of the <br />perimeter. <br />Staff noted that planting is intended to begin in the next 2 months. <br />Judi: Will any design changes be implemented this year? <br />Staff: Yes. <br />Judi continued: Cornerstone has no community park, the entry areas are <br />the only places to gather to talk and serve as a school bus stop. Judi <br />would prefer Bermuda grass and suggests keeping pollinator plants away <br />City of Louisville <br />Parks Division 749 Main Street Louisville CO 80027 <br />303.335.4774 (phone) www.LouisvilleCO.gov <br />5 <br />
