Land Planning Services

Rick Harrison Site Design Studio
Rick Harrison Site Design StudioDo you ever feel that suburban design is stuck in some kind of time warp from the 1960’s with little (if anything) new in terms of subdivision design? Today’s suburbanites desire space, not cookie-cutter blandness. After all, that is why they live outside the urban core. But space means less yield – right? WRONG!

The methods and technologies that Rick Harrison has invented deliver more space with less street – while maintaining density of conventional methods. This typically translates to less development cost without losing density!

More enticing than plain subdivisions that are typically difficult to walk and drive through his original methods of Coving, BayHomes and CND (Connective Neighborhood Design) benefit the builder/developer by adding more premium lot locations and an increase in usable and visible open space. All of Rick Harrison Site Design Studio neighborhoods have safe and direct walking connectivity while feeling much less dense than other design methods – exactly what the suburban market wants today.

Rick’s neighborhoods have won many awards. He is the recipient of Professional Builder Magazines Achievement of the Year Award for his planning methods, is a national speaker on land planning issues, the creator of the software they use, and the author of the new book on how to fix the problems facing today’s suburbs – Prefurbia. (www.prefurbia.com).

Rick Harrison Site Design has planned over 600 neighborhoods in 45 States and 11 Countries for over 350 Land Development Companies. Eight of the top ten builders have homes in Rick Harrison Site Design neighborhoods.

Confirmed SLDI members will receive a 10% discount from the current per-unit fees that are charged at preliminary plat approval. Further, TEC Design, Inc. is an engineering firm that has the most experience taking Ricks plans from start to completion. TEC Design is extending an additional 10% from Rick Harrison Site Design unit fees to SLDI members if they are selected as the Civil Engineer on the neighborhood.

CULTECCULTEC

Back in 1986 CULTEC introduced its Contactor® and Recharger® HDPE septic and stormwater chambers to the industry and helped to begin a revolution towards the usage of plastic construction products. Since then, several product developments and strategic alliances have made CULTEC a cutting edge R&D-based manufacturer. CULTEC chambers may be used as subsurface retention or detention systems, as replacements for ponds, concrete structures or pipe and stone installations.

CULTEC manufactures nine different chamber sizes ranging from 8.5” – 34” to accommodate almost any site parameter. The product’s perforated sidewalls and fully open bottom promote maximum infiltration capability and allow for the transfer of high volumes of water at a low velocity. The units may be installed singularly or in series in single- or multi-layer beds.

In addition, we have developed our own in-line side portal manifold system which eliminates the need for a conventional pipe header system and water quality unit designed for maintaining our chamber systems. Our products meet HS-25 wheel load requirements, have a 10-year warranty and are currently modeled in HydroCAD, BOSS International's StormNET and Streamline Technologies' ICPR.

Our technical staff offers free design assistance including preliminary calculations and job specific CAD details. A free HydroCAD CULTEC custom edition is also available from the company.

Clients may achieve LEED credits by using CULTEC Systems.

StormChamber

StormChamberTM 
StormChamberTM is an open bottom, arch-shaped, HDPE infiltration chamber which functions in both permeable and non-permeable soils for subsurface retention, detention, recharge and reuse of storm water, designed to overcome the deficiencies of other technologies. It provides a higher level of nutrient and pollutant removal by taking advantage of the natural biological and physical properties of the soil. StormChamberTM systems mimic pre-development conditions by putting post-construction run off back into the ground approximately where it used to go, maintaining base flow to streams, wetlands, lakes, ponds and countering salt-water intrusion in coastal areas. During “normal” conditions, approximately 50% of stream flow is from base flow. Base flow comprises 100% of stream flow during low flow periods. The SedimenTrapTM component of the StormChamberTM system eliminates the need for pre-treatment devices and provides a more effective level of sediment and debris removal and retention at a fraction of the cost. StormChamberTM is also surprisingly strong, exceeding the AASHTO H-20 wheel load rating by three times. StormChambersTM replace conventional storm water retention / detention systems such as ponds, pipe and stone trenches or beds, or concrete structures. The chambers may also be used for drywells. Chambers may be installed in trench or bed configurations according to site restrictions or client preference. Their perforated sidewalls and full open bottom promote maximum infiltration capability and allow for the transfer of high volumes at low velocity. The chambers are typically installed subsurface beneath parking areas to capitalize on use of space; however, they may also be placed in grassy areas.  • Free System Design• Contact us to help you switch out competing products• We can interface with the engineer• Stronger, cheaper, quicker and easier to install• Significant cost and labor savings 

Confirmed SLDI members will receive a 10% discount on each SedimenTrapTM ordered.

Telecommunications

AFL Telecommunications
FTTH AFL Telecommunications offers SLDI members complimentary FTTH cost modeling. 

Interested in exploring FTTH for your community? For many developers, the answer is “Yes”.  In fact, recent market data from RVA Market Research, a leading FTTH analyst, states more than 2 million households in the United States are now served by FTTH. In addition, more than 60% of new master planned communities breaking ground in 2007 will be enabled with FTTH.     

While in many areas of the country FTTH is enabled by the local phone company, many residential developers are also taking a more direct approach and enabling FTTH within their communities – either on their own or in conjunction with private FTTH system operators.  

When implemented and marketed correctly, FTTH is a valuable “technology amenity” that can accelerate home sales, differentiate the community and enable higher per unit sales of in-home technology. Because today’s consumer is increasingly technologically-savvy, FTTH creates a future-proof foundation to meet their needs. In addition to these bottom-line benefits to a developer’s core business, FTTH can also represent an exciting business opportunity that provides a recurring income and asset value.  

AFL Telecommunications, a leading fiber optic manufacturer, is extending a complimentary FTTH Business Modeling session to SLDI members. AFL Telecommunications  is an end-to-end FTTH systems integrator that is well-equipped to help developers understand not only the technology, but also the business case behind FTTH. Having assisted developers across the country, AFL Telecommunications facilitates the planning and implementation of end-to-end FTTH solutions within master planned communities.

HBH Gas Systems
HBH Gas Systems HBH Gas Systems specializes in the design and implementation of fully-engineered Central Gas Systems for developments located off of the natural gas grid. Central Gas Systems provide underground piped, individually metered gas fuel from a centralized propane tank. These systems facilitate sustainable development by adding many social benefits to the community like more efficient appliances; by lowering homeowners' utility bills relative to all-electric communities; and by decreasing a development's pull on the inefficient electric grid and thereby offsetting up to 8.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per home. Central Gas Systems serve a wide range of residential, commercial, and resort applications; they can even fuel entire towns. Developers and builders who implement a Central Gas System from HBH enjoy the tremendous marketing advantages of dual-fuels, especially because often such developments are surrounded by communities that have been built all-electric.
 
HBH Gas Systems has developed, designed, and installed Central Gas Systems in residential communities, commercial developments and entire resorts throughout the US. HBH Gas Systems is committed to facilitating sustainable development worldwide by bringing gas to regions where it was previously unavailable. HBH Gas Systems is a world leader in the implementation of Central Gas Systems. For more information about HBH Gas Systems, visit www.hbhsystems.com.
