APPENDIX A <br />LOUISVILLE HORTICULTURE AND FORESTRY ADVISORY BOARD <br />RECOMMENDATION FOR LANDSCAPING PLANT LIST FOR CLASS 4 OPEN SPACE <br />PARCELS DESIGNATED AS "OTHER" <br />DECEMBER 5, 2001 <br />➢ The availability of a nursery -grown plant palette -- especially perennials and grasses <br />-- endemic to the Front Range ecological is expanding, and changes rapidly from year <br />to year. <br />➢ Boulder County has more ecological diversity than anywhere else along the Front <br />Range. <br />➢ Each of the following lists can be used on Class 4 open space as appropriate and as <br />plants are available commercially: <br />Suggested Native Plants for Horticultural Use on the Front Range of <br />Colorado, published by the Colorado Native Plant Society Horticulture and <br />Restoration Committee, revised April 2001. See attached list. <br />Indigenous native plants list as proposed by the Louisville Open Space Board <br />for Ordinance 1329, date unknown. See attached list. <br />➢ The Horticulture and Forestry Advisory Board will endeavor to revisit each list every <br />five years for continued suitability, beginning in 2006. <br />The Horticulture and Forestry Advisory Board recognizes that these lists are not <br />comprehensive of all native plants. While affirming a commitment to recommend native <br />plants for use in Class 4 Open Space whenever reasonable and practical, the Board has <br />discovered during its research numerous commercially available native forbs and graminoids <br />not included in either referenced list. Therefore, the Board advises that other available native <br />forbs and graminoids may be used on Class 4 Open Space as commercially available and <br />appropriate to the specific site. <br />Louisville Ordinance 1329-2000 requires that native plants be used in three of four <br />classifications of open space lands and that reasonable attempts be made to use native plants <br />on the fourth classification. <br />1) Native plants are plants that are indigenous to the area. Indigenous means the plant <br />originated in the area. For the purpose of this ordinance, the following plants shall be <br />constitute the native plants that can be used on Louisville Open Space. <br />6 <br />
