. Most of MAG's clients have retained the firm for subsequent projects, and in one case, a retail client retained MAG for more than 150 separate buildings over a 24-year period. Mr. McLeod maintains contacts with key suppliers and manufacturer's representatives to verify the constructability and availability of materials and systems required by each project. The park will be an asset to Sunny Isles Beach, and it should not be hidden from the public's view. He wants the park to be not just a pleasant place to spend some time; he also wants it to be an educational experience that features design elements that illustrate various aspects of nature, not just plants. Some of these features include birds, butterflies, fragrances, and geological materials, such as indigenous rocks. Mr. McLeod is an amateur astronomer and feels that all aspects of nature deserve to be featured in parks, not just plants and animals, but water, rain, sun, time, and wind. Mr. McLeod is fully aware of the ADA requirements for parking garages and parks, not only as a licensed architect who is required to be familiar with ADA regulations, but also because he has friends with disabilities that require special accommodations, and therefore knows from first hand experience how important the ADA regulations are. Mr. McLeod also understands that materials and fixtures have to be selected for durability, given that most will be subject to high humidity, intense sun, strong winds, and heavy rain. Mr. McLeod has studied mold and mildew prevention techniques, and he has also provided expert testimony regarding building failures attributed to hurricane force winds and im ro er construction. -""'""' . . .P'i', .J DONALD McLEOD, PRESIDENT OF McLEOD ARCHITECTURAL GROUP AND DESIGN TEAM MANAGER Page 3 of 13
