Purchasing a home here is about more than just the real estate. It’s about the community.

Copperfield is a special place, where people matter to one another and neighbors become valued and trusted friends.

Copperfield is a 300-acre residential community, originally incorporated in February of 1984.

The community includes almost 400 homes on quiet cul-de-sacs and meandering streets, in a countrystyle setting with lush landscaping and mature trees on wooded lots.

Behind the signature serpentine brick walls you will find a neighborhood that prides itself on well-maintained homes and its friendly atmosphere.

As a resident of Copperfield, you automatically become a member of the association and are granted access to the many fine neighborhood facilities.

Letter To The Residents Dear Residents

W

e need your help! As you know there is a proposal for a development to go in behind IGA on Beckley Station.

Your Homeowners Association Board is extremely concerned about the Office of Planning and Design Services potentially lifting the Binding Element #6 in #12573. Mr. Garret (the developer) has put together a plan more than doubling the density limit that was intentionally put in place. Furthermore, they have pulled a bait and switch with what they presented to us during their public meeting vs what they have applied for with the Office of Planning and Design Services. The opening statement in the presentation stated "8 three story buildings", and during his presentation Mr. Talbott (the developers attorney) stressed the flat roof was a decorative feature intended to keep the overall height down and was being done for our benefit at an extreme cost to him. In the latest elevations they have returned to the gable roof and are presenting a 4-story building. We think they've terribly misrepresented this project to the community, and we are asking the Office of Planning and Design to insist they redesign the project to fit within the binding element density limitation of 4.91 du/a, or abandon the project altogether.

We have attached images on the following page of the original and approved plan for this space, the plan presented during the public meeting, and the latest plan presented to the Office of Planning and Design Services. This is a big change and it's unfair to change the rules after we, the residents of Copperfield, Valencia, and Landis Lakes have already spent our money and built our homes. This is not NIMBYism, it is literally in the front yards of Copperfield residents and will be their new view for as long as they own their homes.

EASTER EVENT (MORE INFO TO COME)

Please remember the sole purpose of Mr. Garret, and Mr. Talbott is to turn a profit, and they are doing it at the cost of our community.

Let Jay Lucket know you don’t want this, contact him with your concerns on this project. You can reach him by phone at 502.574.5159 or by email at jay.luckett@louisvilleky.gov. and please provide your contact information to the Copperfield Hotline at Hotline@copperfieldky.com for further developments.

In unity, Your CHA Board

FRIENDLY REMINDERS Make sure that your pets are in your yard or on a leash at all times.

There have been several instances where pets have been off their leashes or out of their yard and this has created an unsafe situation. Let's make sure we are doing our best to keep everyone safe!

No automobile, trailer, boat, truck or other vehicle shall be parked on any street in the subdivision for a period in excess of twentyfour hours in any one calendar year. It has been especially difficult for our snow removal truck to get down some of the streets because of the street parking. Please make sure you are parking in your driveways or garages.
