Summer 2015 2 Small area PlanS South Boulder rd & mccaSlin Blvd ville. In The Buried Giant one of the things Ishiguro suggests is that personal relationships may be the key to resolving conflict and maintaining peace. I really appreciate how hard Louisville police work to build relationships in the commu- nity. Their focus on keeping the peace, as much as enforcing the law, is one of the things that makes Louisville such a great place to live. While it is very important that we recognize Marshall Helburg with our new memorial I hope it will also serve to honor the officers that put themselves in harm’s way every day to keep us all safe. If you’d like to contribute to the memorial, please go to helburgmemorial.org for more infor- mation on how to donate. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone out at all our great events this summer! -Bob meSSage from the mayor Continued from page 1 The City’s small area plans for South Boulder Road and McCaslin Boulevard continue. The process is using public input to identify the community’s vision and goals for each area and transforming those visions and goals into future development regulations. The regulations will include allowed land uses and building forms, as well as desired infrastructure improvements and areas for public spaces like parks and plazas. Thank you to those who have participated in the pro- cess so far; anyone can join in by visiting www.Envision- LouisvilleCO.com. Also, keep an eye out for upcoming public meetings to design potential development alter- natives for the McCaslin Blvd. corridor and evaluate development alternatives for the South Boulder Road corridor. There will also be several more hearings before the Planning Commission and the City Council. You can stay up to date by following the Planning Department on twitter @Plan4LsvlCO. Questions or comments should be directed to project manager Scott Robinson, at 303.335.4596 or ScottR@LouisvilleCO. gov. We want to hear from you, so please participate. city-wide preservation master plan The City is developing a City-wide Preservation Master Plan for its historic preservation program. The City has a unique preservation program supported by a dedicated sales tax that has resulted in over 20 historic landmarks. How- ever, the City has never adopted a preservation master plan to guide the program. The 2013 Comprehensive Plan update called for the creation of such a plan to define the goals of the preservation program and map out how to achieve them. The City is interested in properly recognizing Louisville History through preservation, analyzing current historic preservation regulations, and engaging the community regard- ing the future of historic preservation. During the process of developing the Preservation Master Plan, Louisville residents have been asked to define a community vision, respond to questions about the existing preservation program, and out- line goals for historic preservation. The City is working with historic preservation consultant HistoryMatters for an exter- nal review of the program and guidance on best practices. The Preservation Master Plan will be reviewed and considered for adoption by the City Council during the summer of 2015. Please check the City of Louisville web site for an updated Preservation Master Plan schedule. For more information, please contact Lauren Trice at 303.335.4594 or LaurenT@LouisvilleCO.com. cultural artS maSter Plan Information gathering for the Cultural Arts Master Plan (CAMP) took place over the win- ter and spring and is now wind- ing down.
