Residential Subdivisions

 

Town Lakes Subdivision

As a joint venture project between Gassner Development, Inc. and the East County Water Control District (ECWCD), QAI was hired to design and engineering of the primary and secondary water management systems for a 270-acre lake front subdivision that would also enable the ECWCD 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.  The project was also designed to raise water levels by over 2-feet to restore hydroperiods and increase natural aquifer recharge.

Hidden Pines Subdivision

In March of 2003, QAI was hired by Hunt Construction, Inc. to sub-divide a 17-acre tract into 1-acre residential lots, prepare construction plans and specifications for the site’s development, and acquire 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 25-year, 3-day storm events.

Tortuga

Tortuga is a proposed 214 unit single-family subdivision located on 80 acres in the Island Park Area of Fort Myers, Florida. The project was designed and permitted by Quattrone & Associates.

 

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 will serve as a filter marsh for the project. Routing the runoff through the wetlands will also benefit the wetlands by rehydrating them after years of being cutoff from historical inflows.

 

Particular Challenges

        FDOT Access

        Protected species

        Wetland impacts

 

The project was ultimately successful in obtaining permits from all necessary agencies including:

        South Florida Water Management District

        Army Corps of Engineers

        Florida Fish and Wildlife

        Lee County Development Services
