I 11: Cityoj Im Louisville PARKS & RECREATION Memorandum To: Parks and Public Landscaping Advisory Board From: Allan Gill, PLA, Park's Project Manager Date: September 5, 2019 Re: Sid Copeland Water Treatment Facility Building Addition and Tree Replacement — Information / Courtesy Update Information and Courtesy Update: The Water & Wastewater Treatment division of the Public Works department is working on an addition to the existing administration build located at the Sid Copeland Water Treatment Facility, at 1955 Washington Avenue. The existing building has about 2,000 square feet of administrative space and the planned building addition will be located on the north side of building adding approximately 900 square feet. The project is in the design phase currently and will go through the planning process this fall followed by construction in early 2020. Two trees will be removed to allow for construction of the building addition. In their place, four trees have been proposed to be planted adjacent to the east side of the administration building. Unfortunately, the entire 13.5-acre site contains numerous utilities making selection of planting sites for replacement trees difficult. This area was also selected as it allows for the planting of replacement trees and minimizes impact to views to the north and west for adjacent homes located to the south of the facility. The replacement trees selected are relatively small and will soften the facade of the existing administration building. 13
