3 CITIZEN EMAILS ADDRESSED TO PPLAB <br />1. <br />From: Ben Buxton <br />Sent: Monday, May 14, 2018 6:10 PM <br />To: Dean Johnson <br />Subject: 650 W Chestnut - Landscape at Madison/Cherry <br />To: Parks & Public Landscaping Board <br />From: Ben Buxton, 650 W Chestnut CT <br />I am writing in regards to a concern and a request I have regarding landscaping at the corner of <br />my home at 650 W Chestnut CT (at the NW comer of Cherry St. And Madison Ave.) <br />I recently met with Dean Johnson to review and discuss options for this property that has fallen <br />into disrepair with respect to the landscaping at this corner. It appears the original landscaping <br />was likely put in place by the builder back when the neighborhood was built in the early 1980's. <br />Being a recent owner, I am now trying to determine options for how to improve the appearance <br />of this corner, which is now overgrown with weeds and dead shrubbery. Unfortunately, there is <br />no HOA for my neighborhood and therefore no professional maintenance has been performed on <br />this corner since I've owned the property during the past two years. While, I have done basic <br />maintenance, it clearly needs to be cleared and re -landscaped. <br />To that end, I wanted to inquire to see if this is an issue that the board would consider discussing <br />on their agenda in the near term. In speaking with Dean, he indicated that this is a concern in <br />many locations similar to mine throughout Louisville and my hope is that the city would <br />consider taking on the project to re -landscape. <br />Please let me know if that is of interest and if so, how best to proceed. I am attaching a few <br />photos of the corner to give a better description of the current state of this corner landscaping. <br />Sincerely, Ben Buxton <br />
