SUBJECT: HISTORIC PRESERVATION MASTER PLAN <br />DATE: MAY 26, 2015 <br />PAGE 3 OF 7 <br />Customer Survey <br />The twelve - question, one -page, confidential questionnaire (attachment #5) was <br />designed to gather opinions from individuals with direct experience with the City of <br />Louisville's historic preservation program over the past 3 years. The answers will inform <br />the Preservation Master Plan. They have influenced the draft goals and objectives and <br />indicate possible action items to enhance and improve the existing program over the <br />next twenty years. A summary of the responses is included in attachment #3. <br />Open House /Community Workshop <br />On March 11, 2015, the City held an Open House for the Preservation Master Plan. <br />The Open House was attended by 50 community members. The Open House allowed <br />attendees to explore the development of Louisville through maps and timelines. The <br />timeline culminated in a poster with all of the development maps and the question: <br />"What is important for Louisville ?" Attendees were asked to put dots on the decades <br />they thought were important. Every decade, including the "next decade" (a response <br />the public added), received a dot (attachment #4). <br />Decade <br />Dots <br />Pre 1900 <br />14 <br />1900 <br />-1909 <br />21 <br />1910 <br />-1919 <br />10 <br />1920 <br />-1929 <br />11 <br />1930 <br />-1939 <br />12 <br />1940 <br />-1949 <br />8 <br />1950 <br />-1959 <br />8 <br />1960 <br />-1969 <br />9 <br />1970 <br />-1979 <br />7 <br />1980 <br />-1989 <br />10 <br />1990 <br />-1999 <br />3 <br />2000 <br />-2010 <br />2 <br />"the next decade" <br />3 <br />At the April 8, 2015, Community Workshop, 33 community members shared ideas <br />related to goals and preservation strategies for the Preservation Master Plan <br />(attachment #6). Each table received all five draft goals and worked to prioritize the <br />objectives under each goal with a dot exercise. Overall, the participants were interested <br />in increasing preservation awareness, developing relationships with other organizations, <br />and promoting the Historic Preservation Fund (attachment #7). <br />The Community Workshop also featured a presentation entitled "Preservation 101" that <br />explored how we decide what to preserve and how we determine the "when" of <br />CITY COUNCIL COMMUNICATION <br />5 <br />
