Auburndale Neighborhood Group

ANA Minutes March 23

50 Auburndale residents were in attendance to hear veterinarian and South Louisville businessman Dr. Rusty Gailor discuss pet care issues and to recount he and his partners quest to redevelop the south corner Kenwood and New Cut into restaurant and shopping facilities.  Targeted lobbying by outside interests blocked the initiative.  Today the corner remains vacant.

 There is renewed interest for expanded Block Watch within the neighborhood.  Ken Williams will follow up requests.

 Ken McFarland reminded everyone that spring is here!! No matter what the weather feels like!   NOW is the time to cure "CABIN FEVER " Focus on our "Outdoors Projects and Interest."

 Board Member Stephen Cotton demonstrated the recently acquired LOJIC data base of the Auburndale Neighborhood.  The database documents every facet and characteristic of the Neighborhood and will be essential in neighborhood planning and revitalization projects.  Auburndale has a vision statement before it for consideration.  This effort goes far beyond fixing potholes for it INVOLVES OUR FUTURE.

Confusion and misunderstanding over the outdoor warning siren system continues.  From the  website: There has been recent confusion about the siren at Kenwood School destroyed by the hurricane force winds of September, 2008.  The coverage map has been reposted on the Auburndale Website.

The map depicts the old siren # 25 and the relocated siren # 25. All other circles (black) are sirens within the coverage area.
