u l J 11 submerged lands through FDEPs Board of Trustees Internal Improvement Trust Fund (TIITF) and processed local variances. In addition. Miller Legg prepared a topographic survey at a grid sufficient to create I foot contours in the project area of the South Fork of the New River. The limits of vegetation along the south edge of subject area were identified, located and shown. The "Safe Upland Line" elevation for subject area was researched and shown on the survey drawing. Features bordering the north edge of water in subject area were identified and shown on the survey. City of Pembroke Pines Wetlands Park - A 100 -acre municipal passive park containing an interpretive exhibit center, 3,000 LF of boardwalk and nature trails, and canoe trails in Pembroke Pines. Services provided included: land surveys, as -built surveys, topographic surveys, master planning, site planning and engineering, mitigation design and consulting, and construction management and observation. Plantation Parks Wetlands Project - This project was to create two wetland mitigation areas within the community of Plantation Acres. These areas combined serve as a consolidated off -site mitigation area to compensate for future impacts to all remaining wetlands present within approximately 28 undeveloped parcels in Plantation Acres. The two subject sites are the 45 -acre Volunteer Park site located at the southwest corner of Sunrise Boulevard and NW 1 I Sth Avenue, and the 28 -acre Broward County School Board site located at the northeast corner of NW 121st Avenue and NW 1 12th Sweet Environmental services provided included: mapping of jurisdictional wetlands within the mitigation site and approximately 28 impact sites, functional evaluations, mitigation calculations, design of consolidated mitigation area, permitting of wetland impacts and consolidated mitigation area through Department of Planning and Environmental Protection (DPEP) and US Army Corps of Engineers (USACOE), and development of credit distribution mechanism for the City of Plantation. Pembroke Pines City Center - This project consisted of approximately 100 acre mixed use project that was the last phase of a 200 acre coral development that also included multi - family and commercial land use components in Pembroke Pines. The City Center project consisted of design for a commercial and town center concept with adjacent multi- family residential components. Unique site design components included incorporation of a city park, linear 200' wide FP &L easement that split the property, an adjacent fuel pipeline easement, as well as extensive accommodation for stormwater management systems and wetlands mitigation areas. Services included environmental resource permitting, mitigation design, mitigation construction, maintenance observation, remedial plan development mitigation monitoring and surveying. Monterra Greenway and Bike Path - Designed the greenway /park with a one mile bike trail within the 27 acres of the FPL easement that bisects the Monterra (Waldrep) property as part of the Broward County Greenway System. Routed the recreational wail /bike trail, lay -out of fitness stations, tot -lots, shade structures and multi-use courts, parking and access to the trail, security fencing and access gates and landscaping. Planting and irrigation plans, along with miscellaneous hardscape design, were provided. The greenway and bike path connected to each of the residential and commercial phases of the Monterra development. Osprey Point Golf Course (South County Regional Park) - Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation contracted Miller Legg to develop a presentation to aid in the procurement of a water use permit from SFWMD in order to operate a 27 -hole golf course. Miller Legg pursued Audubon Certification for the golf course and it has been officially designated a Certified Audubon International Classic Sanctuary, the first in Florida, second in the United States and fifth in the world. Miller Legg aided in identifying ways for the site to use less water. Miller Legg revised the golf course plans to apply low- impact development techniques for stormwater management, including bioswales and infiltration trenches. Miller Legg also worked with the County to enhance the overall landscape design and create natural corridors for wildlife. City of Plantation Volunteer Park Wetland Regional Off -Site Mitigation Area - The purpose of this project was to restore and create wetland mitigation areas within a City park within a 1,000 -acre community known as Plantation Acres, located in Plantation. This mitigation area serves as a Consolidated Off -Site Mitigation Area to compensate for future impacts to all remaining wetlands present within undeveloped parcels in Plantation Acres. Miller Legg performs bi- annual monitoring of the wetland preserve area to ensure continued compliance. St. Lucie County River Park Marina - For this St Lucie County River Park Marina located in Port St. Lucie, Miller Legg provided mitigation monitoring services at the preserve area along the North Fork of the SL Lucie River for a period of five years. Mitigation monitoring is a permitting requirement of the FDEP and USACE and includes specific task requirements such as quarterly monitoring reports for one year and semi - annually for years two to five. In addition to the monitoring, our biologists provided vegetation clearing oversight for removal of exotics. The project also included 0.32 acres of shoreline rip rap protection, fishing platform, and fixed and Boating dock components. Approximately five acres of mixed hardwood wetlands were placed under a conservation easement and the shoreline was planted with native vegetation such as mangroves and leacher fern. Nuisance and exotic species also were removed as part of the project improvements. Boynton Beach Oceanfront Park Boardwalk - Miller Legg was the prime consultant for the replacement of existing boardwalk and minor structures at Oceanfront Boardwalk Park in Boynton Beach. The goal of the City was to renovate their only beach access park. Other elements of this improvement project included hardscape, lighting and landscape.
