Master planning, environmental planning, site planning, code compliance and planting plans for commercial, single- and multi-family projects.

Responsible for office management, personnel actions, marketing, land planning and environmental projects.Created new playgrounds for two of Seattle's historic elementary schools. Parks/Open Space projects include four golf course plans, and a ball field remodel for the City of Skykomish.Residential work spans a 600-acre "New Town" plan, numerous single- and multi-family developments, urban infill and several sites for the Habitat For Humanity of Snohomish County Affiliate.Commercial projects: churches; schools; "power strips;" heavy industrial sites; shopping centers; and mixed-use, mid-rise.Noted success in projects involving public participation, complex permit processes and environmentally sensitive sites.Negotiated and designed replacement wetlands and mitigation plans including storm water management elements for several residential projects. Initial wetland delineation and mitigation plan at headwaters ofClass 1 salmonid stream on 300 acres of former farmland, slated for golf course/housing.Assessed scores of sites to determine potential environmental (and permitting) costs of development. Earned a "No Conditions" environmental review (through good design) for a creekside commercial project that triggered four of Seattle's Sensitive Areas.Gained only dual "spot rezone" and Shoreline Redesignation ever issued in Seattle for a commercial/industrial client. Mitigation included public access and fish habitat improvement on the Duwamish Waterway.Received state/national awards for writing/teaching classes in Seattle's Pipers Creek Watershed, designed to reduce non-point sediment loading and improve salmon spawning on this restored, Class 1 urban creek.

Developed recreation mitigation plan for a 4,000 square mile hydropower project in central Alaska, including tourist impact on seasonally wet tundra and taiga habitats.Designed and conducted fieldwork, data collection, and public preference tests for visual/aesthetic impact assessment of low-headhydropower project on the Merced River.Managed EDAW's share of visual impact work for an Office ofNuclear Waste Isolation (ONWI) site in the Southwest. The site was within the viewshed of Canyonlands National Park.

Developed a rock quarry master expansion plan within the sensitive Willamette River Greenway, including environmental and permit work.Designed shoreline access and upland use plan for U. S. Forest Service Work Center on Whale Island in Southeast Alaska, with habitat mitigation.Created a sand/gravel quarry closure/mitigation plan including: visual impact; water quality (sediment); complex traffic; and airborne particulate mitigation.

Managed master plan for Washington Park Arboretum in Seattle, including shoreline mitigation and restoration of the Foster Island Nature Trail.Created successful recreational lake and associated wetlands at Eagle Island State Park, Boise, Idaho (Idaho’s first urban State Park). Used new, created wetlands, to mitigate parking lot runoff.Developed interpretive text and exhibits for Tennant Lake Interpretive Center, Whatcom County, WA, based on a eutrophying, ox-bow lake, associated wetlands and abutting human uses.Extensive special training / experience in: public involvement; restoration of natural habitats; and "special" public landscapes (arboreta, zoos and interpretive parks).
