opportunity for public comment on the site. The garden will 'initially entail only 21-24 plots (not <br />sure which side of the road will be completed first) but will prepare the site for all 45 plots at <br />both locations on either side of the road. Intend to have walking/bike access with limited <br />parking. The Louisville Sustainability Advisory Board (LSAB) is assisting with the garden plots <br />and the plots will be managed by a self-governing citizen group -nonprofit 501 (C)(3) already in <br />place. Gardner's will have specific requirements to participate such as an annual contract that <br />outlines fees, water use, maintenance, rules, etc. <br />The design consists of in ground plots with raised beds for physically challenged access. There <br />will be minimal pathway/surface treatments and ADA accessibility. There will also be a small <br />(3'X5') tool shed on each side of the road (2 in total). A draft site plan is attached. A number of <br />folks have already provided volunteer hours on this project such as the civil engineer work (pro <br />bono), Louisville Boy Scout Troop 69, City staff and also anticipated landscape architecture <br />services from CSU. <br />Expected outcomes include the initial 21-24 plots being utilized/under contract within a year of <br />the garden's construction. This will be measured by the number of signed contracts and initial <br />participation from the gardeners in construction as well as operation and maintenance activities <br />over the year. The City intends for the gardens to be viable/accessible in the spring of 2016. <br />Budget Information: Amount <br />1) Amount requested from Boulder County $15,000 <br />2) Applicant Cash Contribution $0 <br />3) Applicant In-kind staff or volunteer hour contribution Numerous/volunteer <br />labor <br />4) Other community funding $26,900* <br />5) Total $36,900 <br />*City contribution of 3/4 inch water tap @ $25,900 and $1,000 for asphalt, copper pipe & fixtures, <br />meter <br />Additional Information: The $15,000 is to provide the following (may not be all inclusive, but <br />our best guess): <br />Irrigation System <br />• Backflow preventer <br />• Irrigation clock <br />• Drip irrigation components <br />• Irrigation supply lines <br />• Quick couplers / spigots <br />• Irrigation hose <br />• Boring under road to connect each side and conduit <br />Accessible Crusher -Fine Pathways <br />• 4,000 square feet of crusher surfacing over compacted sub base and landscape filter <br />fabric <br />• Concrete access from vehicles to and around the raised beds and possibly to water spigots <br />and shed <br />• Loading/compaction equipment rental <br />
