LCity r <br />Louisville <br />Parks & Recreation <br />Memorandum <br />To: Parks and Public Landscaping Advisory Board (PPLAB) <br />From: Dean Johnson, Parks Superintendent <br />Date: 7/23/19 <br />Subject: Subdivision Entry Landscape Capital Improvement Program Prioritization <br />Discussion <br />Purpose: <br />The purpose of this agenda item is to discuss and prioritize subdivision entryways for possible <br />landscape renovations in 2020, based on the approved program goals. <br />Background: <br />Funding for this program has been approved for planning to occur during 2019, with a $7,000 <br />budget, followed by construction to occur in 2020, with a $57,000 budget. Based on the <br />program goals and site needs, more than likely the approved funding will support multiple <br />subdivision entryways for renovations occurring in 2020. <br />Program Guidelines <br />These main components or guidelines are essentially considered the Subdivision Entry <br />Landscape Renovation Program. <br />• Prioritization of entryways for landscape renovations will occur through PPLAB. <br />• All subdivision landscape entry designs will be approved by PPLAB. <br />• Replacing or repairing subdivision signs will not be funded nor is a part of this <br />CIP/program. If in disrepair, PPLAB recommends removal. <br />• Annual planting replacements (flowers) will not be a part of this program. <br />• If it currently does not exist, utilities will not be added, i.e., water. Plant material will <br />not be added to entryways that currently do not have irrigation. <br />Two types of design concepts for landscape renovations will occur: simply, those designed with <br />water and those without. <br />• Landscape Renovations With Water — design will include a plant palette approved by <br />PPLAB which will focus on minimal shrubs, trees if appropriate, and aggregate mulch. <br />• Landscape Renovations Without Water — design will focus on a selection of aggregate <br />mulch and boulders if appropriate. <br />Prioritization <br />Attached is a map (which is not all inclusive of all needs) to aid in the discussion of possible <br />subdivision entry renovations occurring in 2020. Goal will be to prioritize the first five. <br />4 <br />
