The <br />expansion reorganizes the compact site to allow construction of a <br />+1- 12,000 square foot addition and the expansion of the <br />Museum's garden courtyard, The Museum is proceeding with the <br />construction of the new addition, <br /> <br />Romberg- Tiburon Research Center Vision Plan <br />Marin County, CA <br />Mr. Pruett served as consulting principal on the preparation of a <br />"vision plan" for this San Francisco State University marine- <br />focused research center located on a spectacular waterfront site <br />along the northern edge of San Francisco Bay, The mission of this <br />institution is to advance the understanding of the world's complex <br />marine and estuarine environments through research, education, <br />and outreach, The Vision Plan focused on identifying potential <br />program elements for development on the site as well as on <br />responding to community issues related to intensified site <br />utilization, <br /> <br />COMMUNITY PLANNING / URBAN DESIGN / COMMUNITY <br />ENGAGEMENT <br />Mr. Pruett has led community planning / urban design <br />processes that involved community analyses, evaluation <br />of land use and zoning plans, extensive community <br />involvement leading to the preparation of master plans / <br />grant applications for federal grant programs. <br /> <br />Selected Project Experience: <br />Charlottesville Redevelopment and Housing Authority <br />Master Plan, Charlottesville, Virginia <br />Mr. Pruett was principal-in-charge for the preparation of the <br />Master Plan for all twelve of the Authority's properties, The <br />purpose of the plan was to create a comprehensive framework for <br />rehabilitation and lor redevelopment of the properties in a way <br />that would provide a financially sustainable future for the <br />Authority, provide a minimum one-for-one replacement of <br />existing public housing units, minimize relocation time, and, <br />where appropriate, develop mixed-income I mixed-use <br />communities, The preparation of the plan included extensive <br />participation by residents of the sites and other community <br />constituents through interviews, workshop/charettes, and open <br />house sessions, The outcome of the plan identified several key <br />sites as redevelopment opportunities, along with others that were <br />better suited to renovation. <br /> <br />Curtis + Rogers Design Studio <br /> <br />Jacob Price HOPE VI Grant Application, <br />Covington, Kentucky <br />Mr, Pruett was principal-in-charge for the preparation of the <br />physical planning components of the 2009 HOPE VI grant <br />application for the Jacob Price Homes site in Covington Kentucky, <br />The grant application was selected as one of only six applications <br />to be funded in this funding cycle. As a result the Housing <br />Authority received a $17 million HOPE VI grant award for the <br />revitalization of the site and development on several off-site <br />properties, Key elements of the conceptual plan included re- <br />integrating the site into the surrounding community; leveraging <br />the site's location near downtown employment opportunities, <br />educational and cultural institutions; including green architecture <br />and sustainable site elements for stormwater management; and <br />incorporating architectural characteristics common to the <br />neighborhood, <br /> <br />URBAN REDEVELOPMENT / REVITALIZATION PLANNING <br />Mr. Pruett has some 35 years of experience in planning <br />for urban revitalization involving land use planning, <br />urban design, and strategies for regulatory modifications. <br /> <br />Selected Project Experience: <br />Lehigh Acres Comprehensive Planning Study <br />Lee County, Florida <br />Mr, Pruett served as principal-in-charge for the preparation of a <br />plan to manage growth and improve development patterns and <br />quality of life in a massive antiquated subdivision located in <br />Southwest Florida, The purpose of the study is to create a <br />framework for retrofitting the community toward a more <br />sustainable future. Occupying approximately 95 square miles of <br />land in the northeast corner of Lee County, Lehigh Acres contains <br />nearly 122,000 small lots, the majority of which are vested for <br />single family residential use, Incomplete utilities, substandard <br />roads and deficiencies in retail, employment, parkland and other <br />public facilities the vision of the future is bleak, The planning team <br />proposed a staged-growth system to direct development to those <br />areas that either have a full complement of services, or that could <br />be served within a reasonable timeframe. Other <br />recommendations of the Plan included the establishment of a <br />"community structure" to rationalize capital investment and <br />create community identity, In this concept, neighborhoods are <br />framed by landscaped parkways, and activity centers for <br />employment, retail, civic, and higher density residential uses are <br />introduced, <br /> <br />Sanibel Town Center Planning / Architectural and Site <br />Design Standards and Guidelines, <br />Sanibellsland, Florida <br />Mr, Pruett led the planning and design team that prepared <br />conceptual plans for development of the Town Center of Sanibel <br />Island, The purpose of that effort was to provide guidance to the <br />private owners of several key properties in the district as to how <br />they could be redeveloped to be compatible with the City's goals <br />for the character and quality of the area, The result was a series of <br />conceptual plan alternatives that would meet development <br />requirements and limitations as well as fulfill City goals, <br /> <br />As a follow-up element to that work, the team prepared <br />architectural and site planning gUidelines for commercial <br />development within the town center district, One of the <br />overarching principles embedded in the guidelines is that <br />regardless of architectural style, buildings and architectural details <br />should all work together to reduce the apparent scale and <br /> <br />RFQ 12-04-04 <br /> <br />47 <br />
