2001-2008 Project Manager: Senior Landscape Designer
General Project Experience:
Project Experience and responsibilities: responsible for all phases
of project administration from budgeting and schematic design
through design development and construction documentation and
permitting. Project types range from residential gardens and
elementary schools to township wide regional planning.
Landscape projects were initially developed through a mixture of
pen and ink plan drawing and sketches and later with various
releases of AutoCAD up to release 2008. Planning projects were
developed with the use of ESRI Arcview 9.2, where all existing
natural and man made infrastructure was assessed in the first
phase, analysis and synthesis conducted in the second, and plan
alternatives developed in the final phase.
Landscape Architecture Projects:
Residential:
Numerous residential projects ranging in size from less than 1 acre
up to 50 Acres. Project experience includes schematic design
and initial budget estimating, site grading, Erosion and
Sedimentation Control permitting, and construction detailing.
Specific types of details include wood arbors and gates, stone
walls and steps, swimming pools and water falls. Also developed
extensive planting plans including
Institutional:
Worked in a team environment with three different companies to
develop campus site amenities and buffer panting plans for
School of the Holy Child Jesus, Rosemont Pa. Specific duties
included development of a buffer planting plan for township land
development review. Further developed the materials, site
amenities and design details for the campus's main entrance,
chapel entrance and tot lot area.
Project Manager :GIS Specialist:
Lower Mount Bethel Township Planning:
Developed a two part series of maps using ArcView 9.1. The first
series assessed the townships' existing natural resources and
features, man made infrastructure and current zoning districts.
All maps were set up with there own specific geo-databases.
Specific examples of natural features maps or existing man made
infrastructure include:
Geologic Formations
Steep Slopes based upon soils slope characteristics
Prime Agricultural Soils base on soil class
On Lot Disposal based upon soil capabilities and drainage
characteristics
Existing Zoning-generated from 30 yr old paper maps
The second part developed an analytical series of maps which
presented three zoning /open space preservation options through
which future development would be controlled and focused.
Specific examples of proposed zoning maps include:
Agricultural Preservation Options I,II-based upon limestone and
non limestone geology, village conservation and smart growth
districts
Proposed Future Landuse-based upon a synthesis of Agricultural
Options I,II
Proposed Conservation Plan-synthesis of limestone geology, 100
yr flood plain, steep slopes and wild and scenic areas
Borough of Millstone, New Jersey Town Planning: Developed maps
depicting all existing natural and man made features as well as
future proposed open space acquisition by NJ Green Acres and
private residential development.
Specific Maps include:
Existing Historic Resources: Documentation of Revolutionary
War era battlefield encampments, front line
entrenchments and troop movements
Proposed Historic District: Depicted both existing historic
district extents and proposed future expansion.
Proposed Residential Expansion and NJ Green Acres open space
acquisition:
Developed a neighborhood plan and layout of 62 residential lots
on 18.5 Acres in AutoCad 2006 and imported into ArcGIS for
planning analysis related to open space preservation. The
plan allowed the property owner to obtain fair value yet
also ensured the Town of Millstone NJ would retain both its
historic character and more than double it guaranteed open
space.
