Increased pressures of development on Michael D. Kroll, RLA the City of Miramar necessitated Landscape Corridor Guidelines to be established to provide unification and an overall design theme for the citywide corridors to guide and keep pace with increased growth. Concurrently, the Miller Legg engineering staff completed a master roadway network plan within the City limits which provided a compliment to the landscape guidelines, as well as, for use in integration into the City's overall GIS database. Working closely with the engineering staff on the development of typical roadway sections, the landscape architectural design staff provided direction on roadway section designs to allow for optimum landscaping of the corridors, particularly with regard to applying sight distance clear zones and landscaping per FDOT standard indexes 545, 546 and 700. Utilization of curbing in lieu of open section was also encouraged to optimize landscaping adjacent to the roadways within the designated right -of -way areas. OWN
