<br />City of Cocoa Beach CRA
<br />Minutemen Causeway - Minutemen
<br />Causeway is the “main street” within the
<br />Cocoa Beach Central Business District,
<br />providing a front door to City Hall and
<br />direct access to the beach. Over the last
<br />30 years, development within the
<br />Minutemen Causeway corridor included a
<br />mix of commercial, residential, and
<br />lodging properties. This development
<br />drastically increased the impervious
<br />conditions of the corridor and significantly
<br />impacted the stormwater system within
<br />the area, causing regular flooding issues.
<br />Miller Legg’s solutions for the Minutemen
<br />Causeway project was a holistic design
<br />approach to improve the stormwater /
<br />drainage issues, while invigorating the
<br />area’s economy by creating a pedestrian-
<br />oriented beachfront promenade and
<br />streetscapes. The project consisted of
<br />significant landscape beautification and
<br />geometric modifications to the corridor
<br />to promote a pedestrian-friendly
<br />environment and to stimulate economic
<br />development. In conjunction with the
<br />redevelopment, the project included low-
<br />impact stormwater facilities to meet the
<br />Total Maximum Daily Load reduction
<br />requirements, as outlined within the
<br />Indian River Lagoon Basin Management
<br />Action Plan. These stormwater
<br />improvements included pervious paver
<br />sidewalks and parallel parking, bio-swales
<br />with native vegetation, and underground
<br />stormwater infiltration facilities with
<br />nutrient absorption materials. The entire
<br />project was a City pilot program for Low
<br />Impact Design (LID) and Best
<br />Management Practices (BMP) for
<br />stormwater management. Utilizing this
<br />innovative approach, this project was able
<br />to secure significant funding from the
<br />State, including almost $5 million from the
<br />Florida Department of Environmental
<br />Protection.
<br />
<br />City of Lauderhill Sports Park - Miller
<br />Legg was retained by the City of

<br />design, stormwater permitting, landscape
<br />architecture, irrigation design,
<br />construction specifications and bidding
<br />assistance services for proposed amenities
<br />improvements at the 12-acre Lauderhill
<br />Sports Park. Replacement of the baseball
<br />field and cricket pitch natural grass with
<br />synthetic turf and the football scoreboard
<br />replacement tasks have been finalized.
<br />Miller Legg has also completed design of
<br />the playground area wood chip surface
<br />conversion to synthetic turf, playground
<br />shade, modifications to portions of the
<br />fitness trail and the addition of new fitness
<br />stations trail and exercise equipment.

<br />City of Oakland Park East Dog Park
<br />- To assist with the City of Oakland Park's
<br />plan to develop a 1-acre Dog Park at the
<br />existing Richard Giusti Heart Par Cours
<br />Park, Miller Legg was retained for
<br />topographic and tree surveying, SUE,
<br />engineering and landscape architecture
<br />services as well as an opinion of probable
<br />cost. The firm is providing schematic
<br />designs and renderings to provide off-
<br />street parking along NE 6th Avenue and
<br />NE 36th Street, sidewalk connectivity,
<br />modification to the existing jogging trail,
<br />dog park design for small and large dogs
<br />which includes landscape improvements,
<br />tree additions, canopy shelters, water
<br />stations, pet waste stations, benches and
<br />asphalt walking paths. This project is
<br />being performed under Miller Legg's
<br />continuing services contract.
<br />
<br />City of Miami Morningside Park
<br />Tennis Center - The City of Miami
<br />Morningside Park created an expanded
<br />and improved tennis facility at this 42-acre
<br />Park. The project included improvements
<br />to an existing seven courts that had
<br />experienced degradation due to drainage
<br />and soil stabilization issues. A new court
<br />layout was developed to increase the
<br />facility to eight lighted courts and a warm-
<br />up training wall amenity. Other tennis
<br />improvements included upgraded lighting,
<br />fencing ad shaded bench area. A central
<br />courtyard was also developed as a key
<br />element of the project design. This
<br />courtyard created an inviting area for
<br />players and spectators to gather before
<br />and after matches. A themed paver field
<br />with lush landscaping that embraces large
<br />existing ficus trees creates a pleasant
<br />gathering space not previously found at
<br />Morningside Park, and helps establish it as
<br />a premier public tennis destination in the
<br />City of Miami. Miller Legg services
<br />included civil engineering, landscape
<br />architecture, permitting and limited
<br />construction administration to assist the
<br />City in the bidding, observation and
<br />certification of the project improvements.
<br />Arborist services included evaluating
<br />existing trees for health, longevity and
<br />relocation prospects. Once relocated, the
<br />trees were monitored for ongoing
<br />wellbeing on site. Apart from the City,
<br />other agencies with jurisdiction for this
<br />project include Miami-Dade County
<br />Department of Environmental Resources
<br />(DERM) and South Florida Water
<br />Management District (SFWMD). Received
<br />the Facility Showcase award by the Florida
<br />Recreation & Park Association. Miller
<br />Legg secured this project under the firm's
<br />Continuing Services Agreement with the
<br />City of Miami.
<br />
<br />City of Miami Museum Park
<br />Baywalk Phase 3 – Under our
<br />Miscellaneous Landscape Architectural
<br />Services contract, Miller Legg provided
<br />landscape architecture, civil engineering,
<br />lighting/electrical engineering, surveying,
<br />permitting and limited construction
<br />administration services for the Miami
<br />Baywalk Phase 3 Project. Permitting for
<br />project improvements was provided
<br />through the City of Miami, Miami-Dade
<br />County and South Florida Water
<br />Management District. Underground utility
<br />designation for electric and drainage
<br />utilities was performed. The project is a
<br />1/4 mile pedestrian-oriented urban
<br />waterfront park and promenade on
<br />Biscayne Bay, located adjacent to the east
<br />coast greenway. It provides a unique open
<br />space that links the American Airlines
<br />Arena, Biscayne Boulevard, and Museum
<br />Park. The Baywalk design includes custom
<br />native stone benches, extensive paver
<br />pedestrian spaces, salt-tolerant tropical
<br />plantings, as well as themed lighting and
<br />site amenities. Due to historic maritime
<br />activities in the project area, soil
<br />conditions were addressed through the
<br />design of unique drainage facilities that
<br />minimized potential groundwater impacts.
<br />The Baywalk design solution also
<br />improved visibility and lighting in the area
<br />to discourage vagrancy issues that existed.
<br />The planting design not only enhanced
<br />aesthetics, but also buffered unsightly
<br />adjacent parking and utility areas and
<br />minimized exposed surfaces that had been
<br />subject to graffiti.
