St. Francis of Assisi
Incline Village, NV
Project Introduction
The St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church is located on Mt. Rose Hwy in Incline Village. The building is located at the top of a steep incline. The site required grading and drainage plans for the driveway and parking area. We often work with existing properties on site redesign from large-scale subdivisions/condominiums to individual and commercial residences.
Site Design
The design for the driveway and parking lot grading and the site drainage/erosion control was a complicated undertaking. F.C.E. worked within the requirements of regulatory agencies to create a design plan that was safe, acceptable, practical, and in compliance with code. The design works with the landscape and improves the site watershed. Infiltration devices were chosen for their practicality in extreme climates to handle heavy snow melts and large daily and seasonal temperature fluctuations.
Project Uniqueness
F.C.E. took this difficult site topography and designed a driveway and parking lot in conformance with grading regulations. All the site runoff is infiltrated on the property and blends with the natural environment. This project is an example of our company’s ability to permit difficult jobs and create a design strategy that works for the client and the local regulatory agencies with no negative environmental impacts.
Project Management
The site development for the church was closely monitored and inspected by F.C.E. to ensure that the land development procedures specified by our firm were followed in order to prevent erosion, vegetation damage, and proper handling of all site drainage. We specialize in land management and the level of quality we aspire to can be seen in all of our projects. We work closely with all contracting construction companies to ensure satisfaction in every aspect of a job and reasonable expectations for our designs.
F.C.E.
This project is an example of a local job that improves the setting and creates a high standard for community development. The design treats the property runoff in an environmentally friendly nature and is a unique plan that works with the naturally steep site topography.
