Planned Unit (Residential) Development
A 218 unit affordable housing
residential subdivision for the Housing Authority of the
City of Fort Myers. The single-family subdivision
occupies 43.7 acres in the City of Fort Myers across the
river from Billy’s Creek Filter Marsh Park.
Our
role was to plan the site, lead the project through the
rezoning process, perform civil design and water
management permitting.
The site design reflects new urbanism trends such as alleys serving garages, porches on the front of the house with closer setbacks to the main roads, sidewalks throughout on both sides of the roads, variation in housing types to keep the streets interesting and street trees. The mentioned design aspects required working with staff to obtain eight deviations, or “customizations”, of the Fort Myers LDC.

Single-family Housing Subdivision
As
a joint venture project between Gassner Development, Inc.
and the East County Water Control District (ECWCD), QAI was
hired to provide the design and engineering of the primary
and secondary water management systems for a 270 acre lake
front subdivision. The design enabled the ECWCD to raise
water levels by over 2 feet to restore hydroperiods and
increase natural aquifer recharge.
The
project consists of 388 residential lots, a 21 acre
commercial site and over 90 acres of lakes. The project not
only managed the stormwater for the development, but also
enabled the ECWCD to utilize surplus storage in the lakes
for a four square mile drainage basin. The overall project
is capable of reducing peak storm discharges by almost 50%
from the four square mile basin for a 25 year, 3 day storm
event.

Single-family Housing Subdivision
QAI engineered the 17 acre tract subdivided into 1 acre residential lots, prepared construction plans and specifications for the site’s development, and acquired all permits, including a U.S. Army Corps of Engineer’s Nationwide Permit. Subsequent to an Environmental survey of the site, wetlands were delineated.
During
the site design, wetlands were partially mitigated and
partially preserved. The stormwater management system
designed for the project was designed to discharge through
the wetland area; however, discharge was limited to that
quantity that flowed through the wetlands in the
pre-development condition. As part of the system design,
QAI studied and determined the pre-development hydrological
conditions to the wetlands and subsequently designed a
stormwater management system for the development that had no
net impact to the wetland preserves up to 2 -year, 3 day
storm events.
Significant Services performed as part of the project:● Lee County Development Order ● Acquiring a SFWMD Environmental Resource Permit ● U.S. Army Corps of Engineer’s Nationwide Permit ● Post design and inspection services |

Single-family Housing Subdivision
Tortuga is a proposed 214 unit single-family subdivision located on 80 acres in the Island Park Area of Fort Myers, Florida. Our role was to design and permit the site and to inspect and certify construction completion.
Eight and half acres of existing onsite wetlands were set aside for preservation and used as an integral part of the water management system. The water management system was designed to have all water management lakes drain through the onsite wetlands, which serve as a filter marsh for the project. Routing the runoff through the wetlands benefit the wetlands by dehydrating them after years of being cutoff from historical inflows.
