Ravenwood Golf Course RKH Golf, LLC |
Services include preparation of the overall community master plan for this 282-unit residential golf course community on a 417 acre site. Critical to the success of this project was to generate community acceptance and to solicit neighborhood feedback about the proposal. Many meetings were held independently of required town approval meetings. The resulting plan was ultimately accepted unanimously by the neighbors and overall communities. Other services performed for this project included site plans for the clubhouse, maintenance facilities, and recreation complex; final design and construction coordination of all site improvements; approvals from all regulatory agencies; and coordination with numerous consultations, contractors and town and board personnel.
Continuing the expansion of the Eastview facilities, a 70,000 s.f. addition is now underway on the Route 96 side of the site. The facade renovations and leasable space addition are being accompanied by parking and circulation changes, modifications to Route 96 entrances, the addition of valet parking and landscaping improvements. Previous BME projects at Eastview included the Regal Cinemas facility, Eastview Commons (home to Target and Home DePot) and a previous 400,000 s.f. mall expansion.
The newest phase of the site development covers 15 acres and will accommodate approximately 36 units with a possibility of a specialized Alzheimer's Care Unit. The "Cottages" proposal will require a modification of the previously approved Planned Unit Development zoning. Similar to those issues raised in earlier phases, it will also need to address such issues as lighting, landscaping, buffering and traffic. Rochester Institute of Technology recently awarded the engineering design portion of the project to BME Associates, in conjunction with Somerset Builders. The building architecture will be designed by the architectural firm: Macon-Chantreuil-Jensen & Stark Architects LLP. The new housing will help create a relief for the housing shortage at the university and unify the fraternities and sororities into a common area on campus.
The gateway to the Roberts Wesleyan campus is receiving a significant makeover through the efforts of BME Associates and Christa Construction. The new Community Services building at the campus entrance also marks a new traffic circulation pattern, parking, landscape and lighting improvements. The site plan, design and site engineering were all completed by BME.
Also under construction on the campus is Phase I of dormitory construction, including a new 200 bed facility. This new facility is intended to being relief to the common bed-shortage on campus, as well as strengthen the overall quality of campus life. BME is proud to bring creative solutions to this vibrant Rochester institution!
BME was responsible for site planning, site engineering, approval processing and wetland permit acquisition for a 27 hole golf course in the Town of Walworth, NY. Design development included obtaining a Special Use permit for the golf course use, preparation of initial golf course routing plans, site engineering for stormwater management and irrigation, and approvals for utility services for the clubhouse and golf course, along with site planning approvals for the clubhouse and maintenance facilities. Additional challenges included design of a 7,000 gal/day pump station and septic system to serve the clubhouse and maintenance areas.
BME successfully negotiated wetland and dam permits from the US Corps of Engineers and NYSDEC. These permits allowed construction of 3 dams across the 12 acre wetland which were used for access and to create ponds for irrigation water. The ponds added to the aesthetics of the wetland area and improved the wetland habitat. BME prepared wetland mitigation plans that expanded the wetland to approximately 18 acres and showed additional wetland and buffer area plantings. Village of Fairport Main Street Streetscape Improvements
Focusing on a 3,500 section of Main Street in the Village of Fairport, this ongoing community redevelopment effort involves over 7,000 linear feet of sidewalk, 20 crosswalks, 200 street trees, 75 street lights, 15 access drive reconstruction’s, street furniture and other pedestrian amenities. While centering around streetscape and urban design, BME is involved in the project from base mapping and survey through construction services.
Stonetown, Pittsford, NY
Preparation of overall site development master plan and final design for this 120 unit, mixed-use residential project on a 140 acre site. This proposal is generally believed to be the most scrutinized project in the town due to: being located within a historic area at the south entrance to the village; it represents the farming heritage of the area; and it contains important natural features. BME services included over fifty meetings to solicit input and address concerns of interested parties. The resulting plan was received favorably by the majority of those concerned as having addressed issues in a creative and environmentally sensitive manner. Specific features of the proposal include single family residential uses; multi-use open space; public trails; preservation of historical buildings; wetlands enhancement; and regional stormwater management considerations.
The Midlands/Beaumont, Perinton, NY
This project involved multiple parcels comprising 177 acres. BME was instrumental in helping the town create the first incentive zoning project in Perinton, which was the catalyst for the town's adoption of their open space preservation law. The project involved the transfer of open space between multiple parcels with a corresponding transfer of density. This effort required considerable coordination with town boards, staff, neighbors, and special interest groups. Other services included public presentations, overall concept planning, public walking trails throughout the site as well as linkages, site engineering design, final plans for a 104 lot subdivision, and transportation improvements.
South Main Street (NYS Rte 250), Fairport, NY
BME prepared plans and contract documents for complete replacement of sanitary and storm sewers, curbing and pavement. Plans and the construction process for this project were heavily scrutinized due to this street being the main access corridor into the village and required considerable public interfacing with local officials and residents.
This project involved an analysis of the existing utility network, pedestrian and vehicular traffic considerations, intersection improvements, and landscaping all within the confines of existing rights-of-way. Final design followed several public information meetings, and incorporated revisions as a result of this dialogue with local residents.
Cornerstone Centre
Cornerstone Centre is a 10 - building office complex located on 12 acres in the Town of Gates, New York. BME prepared the overall siteplan for the complex, working closely with the developer and project architect to create a campus setting for the ten buildings. The layout and landscape plan provides courtyards to encourage pedestrian traffic and soften the look of the office park.
BME's design plans addressed lane improvements to a county highway, traffic signalization at a state highway intersection, and an amendment to a designated (FEMA) floodplain. The extensive coordination with these various authorities was completed by BME so that design approvals and work permits could be obtained in a timely manner, allowing the developer to meet his schedule and budget constraints.
Cornerstone Centre was recognized by the Town of Gates Chamber of Commerce for its layout and design in providing an aesthetically pleasing place to work.
