Deering Estate <br /> co SUSTAINABLE POLICIES AND PRACTICES <br /> ® CGA has always guided our clients to the most efficient and sustainable practices. This has always been our <br /> ® mindset. Our most recent project aiming for LEED-Gold Rating is the new Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital <br /> in Hollywood, where we were responsible for all landscaping, streetscaping, irrigation and engineering site <br /> ® improvements. We have facilitated significant water reduction use for the Town of Surfside, brought about <br /> ® the implementation of signal progress for more efficient traffic flow as well as the construction of <br /> roundabouts in the cities of Weston and Hollywood. We are currently working with the City of Pembroke <br /> ® Pines to implement a wastewater reuse program and on the development of their LEED certified Public <br /> ® works campus. We were the first firm in Florida to assist our clients in implementing energy conservation <br /> ® measures into local comprehensive plans as required by the DCA. <br /> I® Incorporating sustainable, "Green" design into projects has become a priority for municipalities, businesses <br /> ® and homeowners alike. Sustainable Development is not only good for the environment but it has become <br /> essential for the responsible operation of municipalities and agencies seeking to foster greater stewardship <br /> ® and extend the benefits of this paradigm to the affected community. <br /> ® <br /> Tammy Cook-Weedon is a LEED Accredited Professional and plays a significant leadership role in the <br /> USGBC. As the Project Manager, she will be leading the team in looking "outside the box" for opportunities <br /> ® to make projects increasingly sustainable. The greatest opportunities towards this effort, beyond the <br /> ® selection of sustainable materials and solutions, minimizing water needs, and minimizing heat-island and <br /> micro-climatic conditions includes handling run-off: <br /> ® <br /> -...--- <br /> ® • Affecting Run-off - As with all of South Florida ,�� j + �°' 4 n� <br /> ® Sunny Isles Beach is a relatively flat area of land in a L _ _ 9r <br /> climate that produces above-average rainfall „ _ , , , , <br /> ® amounts, providing the perfect opportunity to Aiio� <br /> ® capture and store rainwater. The opportunity to '-!`'r� <br /> treat or store rainwater to be used later for the -'+1 , �',, TT <br /> ® supply and enhancement of the immediate area is a -ale Esq .kr,, <br /> ® A .- � I <br /> reality. 1A�r_� L1t ' il/ <br /> • • Treating Run-off - Treating the run-off can be effectively done through the use and <br /> ® implementation of rain gardens as a part of the landscape treatment. These water treatment areas <br /> a can be detailed and designed to be very aesthetically pleasing, while effectively contributing to the <br /> green-footprint of the City. <br /> • <br /> ® • Capturing Runoff - The use of pervious pavements and pavers could be utilized instead of <br /> ® traditional impervious pavements, which direct runoff overland to the structures. This cuts down <br /> on the possibility of the runoff mixing with oils and chemicals that contaminate the water, <br /> ® improving the overall quality, as well as keeps the roadways relatively water free after large rain <br /> ® events. CGA designed and managed the construction of a parking lot in the Delray CRA that used <br /> B these pervious pavements and pavers as a way to capture runoff.
