Project Narrative

Completed as an individual Masters Report, this is one partial solution informed by a group watershed analysis using Dave Rosgen’s 2006 Watershed Assessment of River Stability and Sediment Supply. This project demonstrates the application of a golf course to help mitigate fl ooding along Wildcat Creek. A golf course was designed in a suitable location to utilize water hazards to store fl ood water, provide more fl oodplain access to effectively increase infi ltration capacity, reduce runoff rates, and improve water quality. This report explains the relationship between golf course design and environmental practices as they relate to hydrology.

Project Site

The City of Manhattan, Kansas is looking for possible solutions to mitigate fl ooding along Wildcat Creek within the Wildcat Creek Watershed. The project presented here brings recreation to community by designing a golf course in a location along Wildcat Creek that addresses fl ooding issues, increases infi ltration, and improves water quality. Vulnerability and suitability analysis was used as a guide for site selection. This method of analysis illustrates the process of identifying and protecting areas vulnerable to degradation by designing a golf course in a suitable location to utilize water hazards to store fl ood water, provide more fl oodplain access to effectively increase infi ltration capacity, reduce runoff rates, and improve water quality. The report explains the relationship between golf course design and environmental practices as they relate to hydrology on a site in Manhattan, Kansas. A master plan for the application of a golf course to mitigate downstream fl ooding along Wildcat Creek was created. Water quality is addressed through water treatment ponds that act as a biologic fi lter to reduce sediment and chemicals from surface runoff. These stormwater management areas were designed to act as an aesthetically pleasing water hazard on the golf course. Wet meadow grasses were used as a hazard designed to help increase the infi ltration capacity of the site. Golf holes were placed in strategic locations to bring the water hazards into play as much as possible. These water hazards were designed to collect the runoff from a 100-year storm event for a one-hour duration.

Strategic Framework Conceptual Sections

The long-term success of a golf course is dependent on understanding the relationship between the final golf course design and the specific site where the golf course is built. A golf course can provide recreation for a community, as well as, function hydrologically in ways other types of development cannot. Golf courses are often built in floodplains and in locations where natural water courses already exist because natural features can make for a better golf experience. When golf holes are in close proximity to natural streams and drainage areas, there is a higher potential for runoff to leach chemicals and pollutants into the stream. Water hazards on golf courses are rarely designed to maximize their potential to perform multiple functions that benefit not only the golf course, but also address hydrologic concerns on the course and downstream.

Golf Course Layout

The 114 acre site contains a 18-hole par-3 golf course, driving range and practice facility. The course is 3,008 yards from the back tee giving it an opportunity to become one of the few USGA regulation 18 hole par-3 golf courses in the country. Water hazards (part of a fl ood control and stormwater management system) placed in strategic locations, come into play on 14 of the 18 holes. The course contains a variety of natural features that include trees, prairie grasses, wet meadows, ponds, and creeks.

By integrating golf course design theory and environmentally sound stormwater management practices, water hazards on the golf course can become the fundamental elements used in strategizing the design of the golf course. A golf course can then be properly sited and designed hydrologically around the use of water hazards to help reduce fl ooding and improve water quality within the watershed. This project looks to redefi ne how golf can be integrated into a community to not only provide recreation but also to help reduce fl ooding within the Wildcat Creek Watershed.

A single clubhouse serves the first two courses. All courses return to the clubhouse after 9 holes. The first course is built around views of the ocean and three holes work their way down through the mangroves along the river. Soil dredged from the canal was used to build the golf holes. Seashore Paspalum, a salt tolerant turfgrass, makes it possible to have golf in this environment. The second course utilizes the stream corridor, ponds, and waterfalls. A large lake between 9 and 18 collects and stores water to supplement irrigation. The residential housing overlooks the golf course with views of natural features on the other side to increase property value. During phase 1 undeveloped agricultural land will be farmed to generate revenue. During phase 2, established agriculture will remain around holes and development. During phase 3 a separate clubhouse and hotel will be built. The golf course is characterized by heavily wooded areas, and sits down in the valley as holes work their way along the stream corridor.

MASTER PLAN

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

The City of Ocala in mid Florida is an area rich in equestrian and golf heritage. The design and con-struction of the Golden Ocala Residential/Resort Community in the early 1980’s planted a cherished community in the area for people to live, work, and grow. Stallion Ridge is an opportunity to provide residents with an even stronger sense of belonging and identity. Stallion Ridge is an ideal community with three main facets to the character of the place. First, this site houses a fantastic 18 hole golf course with a natural, undulating landform. The majority of the course is enveloped in native tall grasses, but the northwest portion of the site is en-closed in a small forest of trees to give the golf play a different experience. Viewing southwest over the course from the clubhouse, guests can experience the natural beauty and fl owing form. The natural space between holes 9 and 18 is left open and un-disturbed to provide natural wildlife and human-na-ture interaction. Overall, the golfi ng experience at Stallion Ridge provides a challenge for the golfer, but also creates a relaxing atmosphere for guests and residents to lay aside the daily stresses of life. Another main focus at Stallion Ridge is the pre-mier equestrian training and stabling facility in the southeast corner of the site. Residents owning horses are able to stable, ride and groom them right in their own backyard. With adequate space for personal freedom, as well as a certifi ed, caring staff, owners will have everything they need to give their horses the best treatment possible.The most important social aspect of Stallion Ridge is the focus on community togetherness and neigh-borly interaction. There is a Town Centre at the entrance to the site in the northeast corner that houses commercial necessities as well as fun and relaxing activities. With single and multi-family homes within walking distance from the Centre, residents can easily access all of the established amenities provided.

The tee sets up high on a hill looking down with water on both the left and right side of the fairway. A good tee shot to the right side of the fairway missing the water will bring you into a easy second shot down the fairway. The safe route to the left will create a more dif cult second shot with mounds lining the right side of the fairway. Too far left and you run into a chance of rolling off the backside of the mound into the water.

The second shot plays uphill.

The green sets into the side of the hill providing a backdrop to frame the green. There is a large bunker set into the side of it.

The Green sets into the side of the hill with the clubhouse in the backgound.

The hole slopes off on the right side.

Mounds help frame the land-ing area for the second shot.

Two bunkers guard the front of the green. This allows for multiple pin placements to be tucked behind the bunkers.

The large owing green looks easy to land on from the tee but when you nally land on it you will notice the fast owing con-tours on it making it dif cult to put. With the pin in the up most center it makes for a long upward putt from the lower front.

On the left side of the green there is a water hazard that will come into play if the player hooks the ball.

The split water hazard creates a visual interest on the hole and helps de ne the rst landing area. This water hazard de nes the right side of the rst landing area making it a dif cult hole for the average slice.

Approach shot plays into a wide but shallow green

Thick rough laden with several large boulders seperates the two fairways but also makes them playable if you miss the fair-way. This keeps play moving and rulings to a minimum.

The green side bunkers challenge the player with one in the front and another in the back. The bunker in the front makes you want to play the ballV longer, but too long and you will leave the ball sitting in the backside bunker.

This green slopes from back to front with the clubhouse perched upon the hill above creating an esthetically pleasing approach from the fair-way.

Placement of the bunkers around the greens makes the course challenging for those playing the short tees. Not having to hit the ball a long ways to carry over hazards makes it also play-able for short hitters.

The mounds framing the second landing area create a visually rolling texture to landscape but make it dif cult to play if you don’t hit the ball straight. They also direct the ball into the fairway if your shot is only slightly off. The nal hole is a long par 5 over water. The ideal

tee shot is placed on the right side of the fairway.

A split fairway with rough in the middle gives the player two options to approach the green. The right side of the fairway is an easier second shot but it makes for a much more dif cult approach over two bunkers and thick rough. A second shot placed to the left fairway is more dif cult to hit, but it gives the player an easy approach directly into the green.

A good tee shot to the right side of the fairway missing the water will bring you into a easy second shot down the fairway.

DOWNTOWN REVITALIZATION FORGED CONNECTIONS

If the trends from yesterday continue until tomorrow the Village of Farmingdale will be headed down a path simi-lar to many other towns across America. A path of declining population, Economic hardship, poor aesthetic, and an increased cost in living. The idea is to take existing elements that are unique to long Island and make them an amenity to a nearby village. By creating connections through state parks, historical sites, and other ameni-ties, you can enhance local economies through tourism. The location of Farmingdale and its proximity to the Bethpage State Park, The State University of Farmingdale, and other historical buildings provide a huge potential to make this town a destination with its own sense of place. Bethpage Black, being the fi rst publicly owned golf course to host the U.S. Open Golf Championship is already a huge value to the state. Hosting this event has a huge impact on the local economy given the large number of spectators. The tourism revenue generated from this type of event can bring in $70 to 124 million dollars. For many, their arrival into the Long Island train sta-tion is the gateway to the city. Being only two blocks from the down town core, it provides access to an outside market that must be capitalized on. This proposal will create a walkable pedestrian friendly village by increasing the density in the center of the town, incorporating mixed use into the downtown core, and by incorporating a transit line throughout the village. This it will put residents and visitors within a walkable distance of transit stops, providing access to important site and enable the community to prosper econimically. This proposal will turn Farmingdale into a destination as well as preserve the enjoyable living environment for the current residents. It will bring in jobs, a diversity of housing options and allow it to become the unique town it wants to be.

The average 18 hole daily fee course records 30,000 rounds of golf per year. You have a unique situation in Farmingdale because Bethpage is one of the largest golf facilities in the world with 5 courses operating out of a single clubhouse. There are 300,000 rounds a year played here, where as the average number of rounds at a single course facility is 30,000. The black course alone still has almost double the amount of people playing here. The image above shows how many people play each course in a typical day.

The Village of Farmingdale has the highest potential to connect to Bethpage State Park based on several factors. It currently acts as a gateway to the park. It has several historical sites. It is approximately 1 mile away from the LIRR train Station. Most of the university traffi c also uses this Station. The town of Bethpage is separated from the park by a highway. It has a strong school system and airport nearby.

One of the strategies of this proposal is to increase the density in the downtown core by adding higher density housing options such as multi-family housing, senior housing, and apartments. Concentrating them in the corridor between the LIRR tracks and the highway, along with mixed use retail, will increase the property values. This will focus the activity in the center while also preserving the existing neighborhoods around it. By extending the street grid in key areas, it will create smaller blocks and give pedestrians more options coming from the train station. Two roundabout were added. The fi rst one was added to the fi ve way inter-section and it signals to people the end of the town center and acts as a transition into the single family neighborhoods. The second one is by the elementary school to improve upon a diffi cult intersection.

The Process

Located Just outside Kansas City, The site of a newly constructed observatory was once an cliff side overlooking a swampy low area. The new landform was shaped into what is now a park modeled aft er the Milky Way galaxy. Although there are billions of galaxies in the universe, This one is signi cant to us because it is the home galaxy of our solar system. The forms, features, and relati onships within the park were built in correlati on with the actual galaxy. This was done with the intent to Teach visitors more about where they live as they visit the park . The circulati on routes and the boundaries of the park are much more en-closed than the open interior of the park. The trees and shrub masses help control views inside and outside the park.

Space and Function

As you enter the park, you follow a tree lined road up and around to the top of the hill. The large tree canopy hangs across the road to provide an overhead plane for those diving below large shrubs provide a barrier between the road and the more inti mate part of the site. Parking lot is screened off from the Shelter area just to the south west. A large tree canopy hangs over the shelter to provide shade in the evening. This space is enclosed by a row of tall upright evergreens to the north and a linear pond to the south east. there are some trails that work there way through the ground cover down to the pond. The path winds in and out of the trees with yellow and purple owers on both sides. The southern shelter is blocked from view of the northern one. There are a series of spaces created with the massing of me-dium and large shrubs in this area. It is orientated facing up the creek towards the lake. Tree line follows the pedestrian pathway, main road winds up to the top. Large canopy provides shade for people to gather under while shing or enjoying the lake. also leads you around visually. A row of coarse decidu-ous trees to help block view of shrubs behind in the shape of a constellati on. Large ornamental conif-erous shrubs dark green in color are used to stand out. In place as the constellati on Orion, a sculpture of the sun and lookout in this area is more open and will use a low course ground cover. Parking areas are screened off by tall upright coniferous plants and large shrubs. Course shrubs and owers of diff er-ent sizes are used as a barriers to keep people away from the cliff and also control views of the site, This spot gives a view of the enti re site in all directi ons.

Aesthetics

“The idea is that if space is truly in nite, then there must be in nite possibility.”

The design was inspired by images of diff erent galaxies taken in space and a quote about the universe. If It was talking about the fact that if you can visualize something in your mind, then it must be possible. So by changing things around you on a small scale you can impact the world as a whole.

MISSION SYNERGY STORMWATER MANAGEMENT

Four dilemmas have been identifi ed.The large amount of impervious surfaces and stormwater piping are contributing to downtown fl ooding. Mission’s auto-centric infrastructure and the large parking lots that dominate the city are not attracting surrounding consumers. Within city limits, the Rock Creek Trail is in close proximity to the commercial downtown, but lacks visibility to connect people to the commercial downtown. A vast amount of surface parking fl anks both major routes into the city.

Existing Auto Dominate Downtown Lacks Pedestrian Amenities to Attract Consumers

The strategy is to create a linear park through Mission to mitigate stormwater, connect important destinations, and bring people to the downtown business district. By creating dense development around the park, It would increase the property value of the surrounding area. Land to be acquired for the park uses the existing city-owned parcels, land in the 100-year fl oodplain, surface parking lots, stormwater collection, and pedestrian connection. The resulting 19.8 acre linear park, in connection to the commercial downtown and areas of high potential for redevelopment, will serve as a local amenity and a regional destination.

Potential Constraints

• more buildings could result in disconnected linear park

• larger building footprints (impervious surface) cause larger volumes of stormwater runoff

• no groundwater recharge

• downstream bank erosion from high velocities of water fl ow

• diffi cult to repair and eventually very costly to update outdated infrastructure

• decreased wildlife habitat

Potential Opportunities

• large public green space spurs downtown redevelopment and inspires re-investment

• large park area (pervious surface) allows water infiltration, thus decreasing stormwater runoff

• groundwater recharge

• slows water velocity, helping to prevent erosion

• good habitat for wildlife

• outdoor education opportunities

• exposes environmental systems and cycles, potentially increasing environmental awareness

• topographic change allows for natural amphitheater and more interesting outdoor spaces

Castiglion Fiorentino was my home for 6 months in Italy, where I went to school at the Santa Chiara Study Center. One of the studio projects I completed there was a redevelopment of the courtyard in the Piazza della Collegiata. This project used elements of Italian gardens, studied during fi eld trips, to connect the community to the surrounding environment. The concept provides residents with a relaxing place to enjoy the view all year round.
