In addition to obviously giving you Information about Rosenberg Design Groups we also intend on Providing information on innova- tions within our industry. One such Innovation is a sophisticated watering system known as leaky Pipe (see story page two} This type of system. In which water "oozes" out of a unique, flexible, porous pipe (designed to be buried underground at the root zone) has been In use in other parts of the country since its Inception In 1971. We've used Leaky Pipe in our Ooean Drive project (see page three) and feel It also has valu- able applications here In South Florida. in addition to the enormous savings of water, maintenance costs am also kept at a minimum be- cause there are no sprinkler heads to be damaged replaced, etc - We ve had some negative responses from installers in South Florida, but we feel that's because Beaky Pipe Is new in our an%L Gan&uamd on ~ 4 N Planting Defensively Saves Money, Adds Value For years, the slogan "drive defensively" has been an accepted safety motto. Now, one of South Florida's leading landscape architectural/land planning firms is telling property developers to "plant defens'vely:' Particularly for those who build office complexes, shopping centers and large residential communities, planting defensively can prove to be a time —and money saving —plan. "Landscaping helRs draw tenants and customers to the property." said Bill Rosenberg, president of Rosen- berg Design Groups "Usually, devel- opments use the wrong types of plants and trees. By the time the landscaping matures in five to seven years, It has to be cut back because of branches blocking signage, leaf droppings, perceived danger of over- sized trees, weak branching habits of inexpensive trees or the roots are effecting the pavement. 'This is a costly process which has a negative effect on the attract• lveness of the property. Developers should recogn+ze this and plan ac- cordingly by planting defensively' As a landscape architect In South Florida for more than 25 years, Rosenberg feels planting defensively entails several factors, Including preparing for one of land- scaping's biggest enemies — man. "Most wear and tear of landscap- ing comes from man, particularly those who are supposed to be tak- ing care of it," said Rosenberg, win- ner of several national awards for his unique designs. "Improper pruning and improper use of the weed eater are two of the biggest problems" Co;1buad an page 4 The Good 'S.Y ''�.►�_ .ram. ...

A third factor for which developers should plant defensively is intrusion into the landscaping -- both pedes- trian and vehicular "By selecting the right type of plant and planting it in the correct place, developers can not only beautify their property but also direct traffic flow by discouraging foot traffic in certain areas;' said Rosenberg. "If foot traffic through plant beds cannot be discouraged, developers should select plants which 'bounce back: Also problems with cars can be avoided by simply placing the plants back from the pavement:' Another area which could use — but rarely receives defensive planting according to Rosenberg — is the . growing need for security lighting and the appropriate landscaping to acmmparry it. "Commercial complexes — both office buildings and shopping centers and even some residential com- munities .— are relying on the use of security lighting, cameras, etc." sold Rosenberg, who has designed Dear Industry Professional: CoratLaiiad %eon page J In any case, wed like to hear from you and get your reaction to this Innovative system, And speaking of reaction, wed Bike to thank the many members of BASF and FABA as well as former and current clients for their feedback on our first news- letter.

'UmciscapUlg Is more than just initial impact..lt should improve as it grows, increase the value of the property and keep it competitive with new properties." Bill Rosenberg "Yet when it comes to surround- Ing landscaping, little thought Is given to the types of plants selected. They may fit the security scheme of ContUuwd fiorn ~ 2 "From a horticultural standpoint underground watering has always been considered superior for plant growth and health," said Rosenberg. "In addition, Leaky Pipe is com- petitively priced with comparable pipe and sprinkler head watering systems" Only two "negatives" have been reported to Rosenberg on Leaky Pipe; over the years, it sometimes will clog; trenching costs are some- what higher because Leaky Pipe has to be laid on a closed grid, 18 in- ches to three feet apart. Rosenberg believes that these two factors can be overcome. Leaky Pipe can be unclogged by using a solvent;' he said And some trenching exists can be elim- the property now, but what happens when they mature, block cameras and create dark areas' Usually they are just cut back, thus becoming unattractive, making the building look run down and defeating the entire purpose of landscaping — to enhance the property:' This problem's solution is also simple, Rosenberg emphasized. The landscaping and lighting should be jointly planned by the electrical engineer and the iandscape ar- chitect. In addition, he said, other such problems can be avoided if the landscape architect works with the project's architect In development of the site plan. "Landscaping is more than just Initial Impact;' Rosenberg said. "it should improve as it groves, In- crease the value of the property and keep it competitive with new properties "By planting defensively, develop- ers can save time, trouble and money and will look upon landscap- ing as part of the solution to beauti- fying their property, not part of the problem"'Y inated depending on the project. On Miami Beach's Alton Road pro- ject, for Instance, the City simply laid leaky Pipe down and placed the grass right on top of It and have had no problems." For Rosenberg, these two minor drawbacks don't detract from freaky Pipe's numerous benefits. "We simply believe that this is one of the most interesting, new, Innovative products we've seen in years and we'll be testing it on moral Installations in the months to come' he said. "Used In the pro- per environment, Leaky Pipe ap- pears to have many berefU which will provide the developer and homeowner association with long term financial savings:' t "Secondly, maintenance is kept to a minimum because, unlike stan- dard watering systems, there are no sprinkler heads to be damaged and replaced:' Also, Rosenberg points out, if a break occurs because of digging, the break only effects the small sec• tion that is cut, not the entire zone. I And, because the gallonage is so small in Leaky Pipe, there is no flooding of the area where a break occurs unlike regular watering systems. Other positive aspects include: no rust problems on buildings, thus cutting maintenance costs; lessening of potential liability because water is not sprayed onto walkways and watering can be done at any time, unlike conventional systems.

And innovations which can have a dramatic impact are considered rage. According to Bill Rosenberg, one Innovation which may have such a dramatic effect is Leaky Pipe, a sophisticated, subsurface, optimal moisture maintenance system. "Leaky Pipe has been in use throughout the United States for years;' said Rosenberg. "Only a handful of projects here In South Florida have used it and those that have are extremely satisfied:' Rosenberg Design Group has used Leaky Pipe in its 10 block landscaping project in Miami Beach's Art Deco District and plans to use the material in two Kendall neric landscaping demonstration projects for the South Florida Water Management District 'he City of Miami Beach has used Leaky Pipe in a project along Alton Road for two years and they are very pleased with the results; said Rosenberg. "In fact, they are planning on using it more frequently. According to Rosenberg, there are many positive aspects to Leaky Pipe which is designed to be buried at root level. "First and foremost Is, of course. the water savings;' he said. "Leaky Pipe can cut water usage by 20-40 percent.

Location. vocation. As any developer will tell you, those three words can be the key to a successful planned community. Yet, when It comes to place- ment of the recreation center within their communities, many developers seem to forget the im- portance of location. There are many factors —such as function, size, pools, decking, positioning, etc. --developers need to consider when planning a community's recreation center (see story on page one} hone is more Important than location. vacation of the recreation area depends on the philosophy of the developer. Some don't want to give up prime space for the center (and usually place the center In the "left over space') wvhlle others realize the potential benefits of using a prime location. Placing a recreation center on the waterfront, for instance, allows for visual pleasure of the horne. owners. While the developer might have to give up some lakefront "premiums," those who don't own a lakefront lot —the rnaf orfty of the community In most cases —have access to the amenity, thus Imparting enhanced residual value to non -view units.

Numerous FactonGo Into ReCreation lea Ptanmg Most developers clearly under- stand the important role recreation areas play as a marketing tool in a community. But, according to Bill Rosenberg, land planner, landscape architect and president of Rosenberg Design Groups the actual selection of facilities to be provided, the siting of the recreation area within the development and the actual layout of the spaces often receives con- siderably less attention than It deserves. CHOICE OF FA►CIL ME.'S "Developers frequently forget who their target audience is:' Rosenberg said. "They design their homes to appeal to a specific target group and then ignore these demo- graphics when it comes to the recreation area. 'They say, 'we need one of these' or 'we need one of those' simply because a competitor has chosen to Install a tot lot or other amenity." Is a large recreation building desirable? According to Rosenberg, the size of the recreation building itself depends on the type of com- munity being planned. "There is trend away from large recreation buildings because of the cost of maintenance and the cost of maintaining a full-time staff." he said. "Usually, only large retirement communities and upscale golf com- munities have large recreation facilities" Now much patio is needed versus the size of the pool itself? Aroord- Ing to Rosenberg, the patio area Is Lid UAI RDG Clients Cover South Florida Rosenberg Design Group's com- bination of versatility and ex- perience have enabled it to handle a wide variety of projects.

"Developers should use the same care applied in designing living rooms, bedrooms, etc. in their model homes to make certain the pool deck furniture fits. Avoid the feeling of row upon row of chase lounges. This destroys the feeling of intimacy. A" Ia change in elevation adds Interest, creates subtle separation of uses such as; children's areas from adult areas dining area separated from the pool area; quiet getaway spaces versus active areas:' in addition, whenever there Is a change in elevation, a change of paving material is necessary, Rosenberg emphasized. Never have a one step change in elevation, always a minimum of two to make the change distinctive and safer:' Select paving materials which are easy on bare feet, non-sliR cool and reduce glare. There are several inex- pensive alternatives to plain con• crete, but even concrete can be at- tractive with Imaginative texturing, scoring or coloring. "irtaroduce plant materials wherever possible within the pool deck," Rosenberg said. "There is nothing more inhospitable than sit- ting in a sea of pavement. Proper selection of plants can minimize bothersome leaf drop or litter and add desirable shade for those who don't want direct sunlight:' SUN AND WIND ORIENTATION "Whenever possible, the pool area should be exposed to southerly breezes, with buildings, tennis courts. etc-, on the northerly side to help cut out northerly winds," said RasmA*rg. "The area should also be made as environmentally c:omfor- table as possible, giving residents a choice of sun or shade:' According to Rosenberg, developers should try to arrange the pool to run north -south so that sun bathing areas on each side tend to face directly into sun for maximum tanning.

Ideally, the area should be partially shaded with overhanging ppaalms or trellises because the com• bination of sun and heated water can prove to be uncomfortable. aTervtfs courtL "Once a decision Is made to have tennis courts, two questions must be answered;' Rosenberg said. "How many courts should be built and where should they be located" Ideally, there should be no less than two courts together, Rosenberg said, and they should be lighted whenever possible slrnoe most peo- ple only have the opportunity to play at night Unlike the recreation area, don't waste valuable waterfront or pprime view space on tennis courts, he points nut "In some communities, because of space constraints, the tennis courts have to be jammed near sur- rounding residences," Rosenberg said. 'This could be a detriment In some communities, but In others (depending on the age group InYWv- ed) these units --which let you 'fall out of bed onto the courts: --could be most popular" *Sp9l courts. "One thing which is very popular with family oriented communities but rarely used is a basketball court;' said Rosenberg. 'These can be used for volleyball, tricycle riding and a host of other childrens games which can be programmed by an innovative recreation director." "By paying a little more attention and with little or no more money, a recreation center can be a benefit to the community," Rosenberg said, "as well as a key marketing tool for the N C'attfnteed from page I "normally" three times the size of the pool area. Again, this varies with the type of community being planned and shouldn't be arbitrary;' he emphasiz- ed. 'A second home community with more retirees may need more patio space than a primary home community' FUNC71ON "Because a recreation area Is made up of various parts, it is im- portant to have the right relation- ship of uses to each other," Rosenberg stated. As an example, in a family oriented community, having the tot lot in proximity to the pool is desirable, while an adult -oriented community might mew this place- ment as an intrusion. RECREATION BUILDINGS Most recreation buildings today have minimal restroom facilities, a small office and perhaps a multi- purpose room for private parties and occasional community func- tions 'Adding a small kitchen to heat up and sent catered foods," Rosenberg said, "can enhance the use of the space" Adjacent to the activity room, Rosenberg said, should be a large covered patio to provide additional sheltered areas which can be used without the cast of air conditioning. If properly designed, the space could be enclosed at a later date should the homeowners association so desire. but. Rosenberg points out, a small recreation building need not look small.

'Adding trellises that extend from the building to envelope space around the pool will give the build- Ing a larger look:' POOLS One of the key parts to any recreation area —the pool area —is where developers frequently make mistakes according to Rosenberg. For instance, he points out, some developers tend to use the "stan. dard" rectangular shape In the belief they are saving money. "Adding an interesting shape doesn't necessarily add cost;' Rosenberg said "Byy adding a dif- ferent or unusual shape, the pool becomes more visually appealing, and more socially functional" Pool design. Rosenberg points out, should allow for some lap swimming, but this is not the primary function. A pool should provide as large a shallow area as possible;' said Rosenberg. Also, a large step area (or more than one step area) should also be provided because most peo- ple tend to gather at the steps and prefer wading to treading water." mn p DECKING The pool deck Is another Impor- tant element sometimes "taken for granted" by some developers. Shape of the deck is a factor to consider. "The shape of the pool can, Itself, create spaces in the adjacent deck; Rosenberg emphasized. "Tire most popular sprees set±m to be those that are divided Into more Intimate sizes where smaller groups of friends can gather" Many developers wait until after the deck Is designed and even built, to choose the of deck furniture is be used. 2 9 04 Common Sense Helps Avoid Problems C.orttauad fewer page r can't make a left hand turn into the center, they'll simply go on to the next one." 3. Parking. Once a center gets a reputation for having a parking prob- lem, it will have trouble attracting new customers and keeping a steady clientele. "Despite what developers believe, compact parking spaces don't always significantly increase the number of available spaces;' Rosenberg points out. "People tend to stradle them. Ideally, a parking lot should have parking spaces 81/2 feet wide. This is a good compromise between the standard space (nine feet) and com- pact space (71/2 to 8 feet). Very few municipalities allow this spacing now, but some are finding out that It really works and are changing their codes to allow this" 4. Mall Design. "Developers are finding that tighter, more narrow malls are working now," Rosenberg said. "This creates an exciting, close atmosphere like the old market squares of the northeast or Europe. Parry older malls are too wide in pedestrian areas and there is a reluctance to walk across from one row of stores to another." According to Rosenberg, the basic design of a mall should avoid 'dead ends' "Malls should be design- ed with traffic flow in mind;' he said. Anytime you can 'force' peo- ple to walk through all parts of the malls, you've accomplished your goal,. Another way to attract traffic to a mall is to have a different type of 'tenant; such as a post office, library or other public service 'drawing cards " Two other design considerations for developers should be security and climate control. "Security is important In design- ing a mall;' Rosenberg said. "A well (it, constantly patroled parking lot or garage makes customers feel safe. And that protection can play a key role in the success or failure of a rnall" Making a mall comfortable — climate control —for shoppers is another key to success. "Obviously, enclosed malls don't have climate control problems;' Rosenberg said. "Open centers, on the other hand, can be uncomfortable, particularly during the hot summer months" The solution for these open malls is twofold: 1) when the ar- chitect is first designing the mall, he/she should select a sun and wind orientation which allows cooling breezes while avoiding facing the stores in a westerly direction; use of overhead fans in 'open' malls can make shopping more bearable in these type of centers; 2) parking in an open mall should be nearby so patrons need not walk far. In an enclosed mall, where air condition- ing awaits them, patrons will put up all be competing for the same customers and will offer greater variety and choices" Agents, he emphasized, should hold out not only for different stores, but also stores with suc- cessful track records in other malls. "Renting space as quickly as possible is not necessarily smart;' Rosenberg said. "In the long run, patience pays off." 7. Landscaping. Both interior and exterior landscaping play im- portant roles in the success of shop- ping centers. "Exterior landscaping should use palm trees as opposed to shade trees used in most malls;' Rosen. berg said. "There is less blocking of signage (particularly in strip centers) and they don't have to be cut back "Overall, the elements of a successful mrxll include good design, adequate access and parking, a distinct personality for the center and a goon mix of stores " Bill Rosenberg with a longer walk from the parking area. 5. Marketing. "Enclosed mails are marketing disasters without a major anchor,' Rosenberg said. "For some reason, some regional malls have Ignored this fact and still try to succeed without a major anchor, only to later fail and have to add an anchor. This is extremely costly" The exception, he points out, is a specialty facility such as Bayside which also serves as a tourist attraction. 6. Leasing. One of THE keys to a successful mall is the proper 'mix' of stores "Rental agents should make an effort to take their time In leasing mall space, control the mix and bring in a variety of non - competing stores;' Rosenberg said. "in this manner, the stores will not Also, flowering plants should be em• phasized. Even though they require more maintenance, they make peo- ple feel good" Interior landscaping should in- clude non -thorny plants set in low lying pots and planters, thus not blocking interior store signage. Special attention should be given to proper lighting levels in the planting areas during the design of the center. "Overall, the elements of a suc- cessful mall Include good design, adequate access and parking, a distinct personality for the center and a good mix of stores;' Rosen- berg said. "This can be accomplish- ed if the developer, architect and marketer use extensive research, patience and good common sense"'Y 90-0,-I r rofenberg def'ign gro LAN® PLANNING Informational 4 LA ARCHITECTURE Newsletter MEMBER: AMEMICAN SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE AACMITECTS November 1988 Dear Industry Professional; am Rownlreig president QB Desip Group When we first began this newsletter, we had one goal in mind —bring information to the building industry that profes- sionals might find Interesting. Now, on page two, we have our first guest column. Written by Jim Schlesinger, a well known and successful shopping center developer, the column deals with the refurbishing--redevelopment— of shopping centers Schlesinger's most recent redevelopment is Mall of the Americas (formerly Midway Mall), which is nearing completion. According to Schlesinger —and Industry statistics bear him out — redevelopment of existing malls Is on the rise. There are many reasons for this trend, but the most obvious is the prohibitive cost of land for new centers Schlesinger touches upon many factors —not just price —In determining whether an existing structure should be considered for redevelopment. Because we feel this lnforma- tion is pertinent, particularly here In South Florida, we will be run- ning Schlesinger's column in two parts, with the second half in our next newsletter. 110 1_1 / e6-u A good mix of shops, to uLumpinp help make a m&U wceasr,1 Marketing Land Planning Ybe Key Shopping Center Problems Could Have been Avoided Numerous troubled South Florida shopping centers could have avoid- ed many of their problems by using common sense marketing and good land planning. That's the word from one of South Florida's leading landscape architectural/land planning firms "No matter how many malls and strip shopping centers are built, some don't seem to Team from the mistakes of previous facilitles;' said Bill Rosenberg, president of Rosen- berg Design Group and a landscape architectlland planner in South Florida for more than 25 years. According to Rosenberg, who recently completed the landscape renovation at Mall of the Americas, formerly !Midway Mail (see story, page 3), there are several factors which need to be taken into cr>n- sideration when building and marketing a successful shopping facility. These include: 1. Ptrsonallty. 'The market niche must be decided and the center should have some sort of personali- ty or identity;' Rosenberg said. "It might be a high end image or a low end, discount Image. It should have something which makes it stand out and break the 'sameness' mold of many South Florida centers' x. Accessibility. According to Rosenberg, good accessibility Is one of the keys to a successful shopping center. "Convenience is very impor- tant, particularly with strip type centers;' he said. "Because these centers thrive on quick in and out, almost impulse type of business, convenience of access and visibility is vital. For example, if shoppers Care Uutad are palgre 4 s Shopping Center Redevelopment41 : Newest Real Estate Growth Area Recycling and refurbishment of existing properties is the newest growth area of real estate in the United States. This area can be divided into two significant groups l) troubled real estate often repos- sessed by banks (REO, or real estate owned} and 2) aging and tired real estate that fails to achieve its poten- tial=the older shopping center" Both categories of real estate possess many of the same failings such as poor marketing, manage• ment and leasing. However, one ma- jor difference separates these two types of trouble properties: func- tional obsolescence. Old and tired real estate cries out for a new, modem physical plan that will allow It to effectively compete for tenants and customers alike. REO properties are usually ill conceived, poorly located and often times the result of over ambitious lending practices and short sighted development. The major thrust of this article is to ex- amine, the recycling of older real estate. Although the thoughts ex- pressed will apply to all kinds of in- come properties, we will examine the decaying shopping center and the restoring of its economic vitality. The shopping center has become a way of life for the average American.

Schlesinger .tenses & Sdilaspa center for dining and entertainment. In essence it has become the new downtown of the late 20th century. When purchasing an older property for turnaround the following factors must be analyzed: accessibility, visibility, population, surrounding retail, reputation, physical plant and site, and price. Without a doubt, accessibility re- mains the major factor in deciding If an older property possesses the type of location requisite for a suc- cessful rehabilitation- Never fool yourself regarding accessibility. Fre• quently older properties are bypass- ed by the municipality In Its trans- portation plans Many of the older centers have merely four lane roads which congest with only light traffic. Shoppers refuse to contend with congested and III conceived arterial access roads to centers. Should the potential property have good accessibility, visibility becomes the next criterion. Front- age on major roads is desirable but If unavailable the ability to ade- quately sign becomes mandatory. Anchor tenants require visible signage. Population density and qualita- tive aspects of the population is, next to accessibility, the most im- portant factor to focus upon In the search for recyclable shopping centers. In general, retailers require a minimum 100,000 people in the three mile radius and 200,000 peo- ple in the five mile radius However, accessibility plays a large part in determining if the demographics are sufficient to support the center. The greater the accessibility, the larger the "ring" a retailer will review. Most older centers have large population bases, but the quality of this base is often lacking. In analyz- ing the median income of the pop- ulation base, a large proportion with Incomes In excess of $20,000 Is desirable. Further, the median age should be in the mid•thirties. Although some retailers are willing to locate in areas with a senior population, an elderly population must be very affluent and show in general a desire to wear up-to-date fashions. Moderate fixed income senior citizens are not an attractive customer base to retailers. Similarly review your ethnic base. Many retailers, mostly out of Igno- rance, refuse to retail In highly ethnic neighborhoods. However, cer- tain ethnic groups have recently become attractive to retailers. fts an example, In Dade County, va!ue retailers such as Marshall's. Ross and T J.

Ewen though Bill Rosenberg had handled landscaping, land planning and site planning for several retail centers, Mall of the Americas was different. "Usually, landscape architects are called into a project when it is in the Initial planning stages" Rosen- berg said. "Mail of the Americas was an existing facility undergoing major renovation. The interiors of the entire mall were already almost completely designed. This provided quite a challenge" In addition to "retrofitting" the Interior landscaping, RDG also handl- ed the renovation of landscaping in the parking lot, perimeter and en- trance areas. Peter Blitstein was the architect and Kunde, Sprecher, Yaskin and Associates was the engineering firm on the Mall of the Americas renovation. But it was those Interiors which premed to be the focus of RDG's attention. tnlerfor bndscapt p prooed a challenge at Mail o/ the Amerftas. The first challenge was the selec- tion of proper materials since the ma!I was originally designed with insufficient light built into the architecture. Once that was accomplished by use of additional lighting and grouping of plants near stronger light sources (with valuable input from the installers, Tropical Plant Rentals) another problem had to be overcome. Unlike "modern' malls, Mall of the Americas, originally built in the 1960s, had the planting intermingi- ed throughout the facility, thus blocking store signage. Newer malls tend to have interior landscaping grouped together, isolated away from signage. Rosenberg solved this problem by experimenting on -site, moving some of the larger specimens to various locations. This testing helped determine whether the land- scaping would Interfere with signage. 0` M 2.0 an"nes Newspalmers Feature MUG _'W'o Rosenberg Design Group has been featured In three recent newspaper_^Tin•".'__ cuticles in South Florida as well as in a prestigious rMtlonal magazine. The Home and Design section of The M&vrd Herald highlighted RDG President Bill Rosenberg in an article on landscaping for the elderly. A major portion of the article focused on Northpark. a Hollywood con. gregate living facility for which RDG handled the landscape architecture. In addition to The Herald story, Rosenberg Design Group was also the subject of a feature article in the West Kendall Gazette and the Miami Jewish Tribune. The Gazette article focused on xeric landscaping (using landscaping and irrigation techniques to minimize water usage) and two West Kendall RDG projects which use this technique. In the Tribune article, Rosenberg's accomplishments, such as winning the recent FAME (Florida Achievement in Marketing Excellence) Award ante his landscaping theories were Matured. Also, in addition to the above mentioned articles, Rosenberg's by- lined artick^ on landscaping a resort was the featured story in Vacation bxhLtry Feuiew, a major periodical serving the resort Industry.t 0-0294 Congregate FacHities Provide A challenge Continued from page 11 said Rosenberg. "Unfortunately, that is exactly the type of landscaping used at a majority of Florida retire- ment communities. "These people are annoyed by the clutter of fallen leaves on the lawns and pared areas and they fear the potential of damage done by falling trees during a hurricane. Thus, just as the landscape is begin- ning to mature and create the in- tended ambiance, out come the pruning shears and everything is cut back to stumps or neat, rounded forms, all to minimize leaf drop and reduce the 'perceived danger' in large, 'messy' trees:' Planting, said Rosenberg, should respond accordingly to these factors In the following manner. 1) Trees with large, spreading growth habits and larger, coarser leaves should be kept away from buildings, pedestrian and vehicular areas 2) Smaller trees with fine-tex- Dear Indnsltry Professional: Continued from pW 1 South Florida as these adult re- tirement communities grow In number.

Beds of 'an- nuals; v I'.ich give the, most striking, year 'round color, should be used in high impact areas at the main entry, along covered walkways connecting buildings and in primary view areas at the community center. 5) In addition to landscaping, another key to a successful retire• ment community according to Rosenberg, is the use of water in key areas. "Water has a therapeutic effect on people," Rosenberg said. "Water features should be integrated Into the landscape as far as budgeting allows. Shallow ponds, waterfalls, etc. give the residents a relaxed, soothing atmosphere" According to Rosenberg, "by us- ing these five factors as a basis for landscaping and land planning a retirement community, developers will be responding directly to the needs of the senior citizens and provide them with an attractive landscape environment with which they can fell safe and comfortable. In doing so, developers will have another viable marketing tool" It 90­029�1 J �t ro.fenbergt8-82;44 LAND PL.ANINING Informational LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE MATTY f IRAI Newlsetter MEMBER: AMERICAN SOCIETY Or- LANOSCAIME AXICNITECT, CITY CLERr% January 1988 rlTd(1c'tll��.�t !»I t� Dear Industry Professional: aW Rosenberg Prewat Group Information.

As a growing number of senior citizens choose to live in a cangre. gate living setting, modem retire- ment communities are responding by providing a wide range of amenities for their residents. Spacious, well appointed apart- ments, pools, saunas, 24 hour security, and multi -purpose club- houses are now the 'norm' at most modern retirement communities Yet, even with these modern con. veniences, one of the most impor- tant factors for these senior citizens — a landscape environment with which they feel comfortable —• is frequently overlooked. "Landscaping specifically design- ed for the elderly should be a critical part of any retirement cam. munity or congregate living facility:" said BIU fosenberg, president of 4 Rosenberg Design Group, one of South Florida's leading landscape architecturefland planning organiza- tions "Because so much emphasis is put on the structures — apart- ment complexes clubhouses, etc. -- landscaping becomes secondary in the minds of many developers" According to Rosenberg, who has been a landscape architect for more than 25 years in South Florida, most landscaping in retirement commun- ities — particularly in Florida — fall far short of meeting the needs of the residents "Senior citizens, particularly those who have lived most of their adult lives in very urbanized settings dis- like and almost fear, a natural en- vironment where foliage grows ram. pantly in loosely pruned masses;' M For many South Florida developers, the words xeric (pronounced zeal-ik) landscaping have had little or no significance. Until now. Aonording to Bill Rosenberg, president of Rosenberg Design Group xeric landscaping --- using landscaping and irrigation tech- niques to minimize water usage — will have a dramatic impact on future development in South Florida. That's because the South Florida Water Management District — with a mandate to reduce water con- sumption — has adopted a Model Landscaping Code and has im- mediately begun encouraging municipalities to follow the code andbr incorporate it as part of their local ordinances. "Developers need to be aware of the Model Landscaping Code and the impact it may have on their pro- Jeects; said Rosenberg. 'The code — once adopted and enforced by municipalities — could effect per- mitting procedures and landscaping As an example of xeric landscap- Ing, Rosenberg cited using new techniques in irrigation design such as not mixing sprinkler heads for shrubs (which require less water) and grass (which requires more water) to avoid unnecessary tinter wine.

But Rosenberg emphasized that the Code does not have to have a negative effect on developers' plans. "The Code is needed and is good for South Florida;' he said. "If a developer does his job and retains someone with specific knowledge of xeric landscaping, this type of land- scaping need not cost more. In fact, If It Is properly thought out and ex- ecuted, xeric landscaping may even lower the maintenance costs for the developer, property manager and home owner association in the long run"t RDG Is Selected For Xenc Projects Rosenberg Design Group has been selected by the South Florida Water Management District to design two demonstration projects on xeric landscaping. The SFVJMD recently adopted a Model Landscaping Code which calls for xeric landscsping, the use of landscaping and irrigation techniques to minimize water usage, and has selected key design professionals to do demonstration projects Construction on the two projects, adjacent to each other In The Ham• mocks development in West Kendall, will begin in December.

No matter how many nulls and strip shop- ping centers are built, some don't seem to learn from the mistakes of previous facilities. Several factors need to be taken into consid- eration when building and marketing a suc- cessful shopping facility. Piese include: • Pawnality -- Tlx market niche must be decided and the center should have some sort of personality or identity. it might be a high - end image or it low -end, discount image. it should have something that makes it stand out and break the "sameness" mold of many South Florida inters. • Accessibility -- Good accessibility is one of the keys to a successful shopping center. Convenience is very important, particularly with strip centers because they thrive on quick in and cut, almost impulse type of business. Convenience of access and visibility is vital. For extample, if shoppers can't make a left hand turn into the center, they'll simply go on to the next one. • Parking — Once a center gets a reputation for having a parking problem, it will have trouble attracting new ctrstorners and keeping a steady clientele. Desphe what developers believe. compact parking spaces don't always significantly increase the number of available spaces.

This is a good compro- mise between the standard space (g feet) and compact space (7 1/2 to 8). Very few neunicipalities allow this spacing now, but some are finding out that it really works and are changing their codes to allow this. • Mail Design — Developers are finding that tighter, more narrow malls are working now. This creates an exciting, close atmosphere like the old market squares of the northeast or Eutope. Many older malls are too wide in pedestrian area and there i3 a reluctance to walk across from one row of stores to the oth- er. The basic design of a mail should avoid dead ends and be designed with traffic flow in mind. Any time you can force people to walk through all pails of the malls you've accom- plished your goal. Another way to attract traffic to a mall is to have a different type of tenant such as a post office, library or other public service drawing card. Two other design considerations for devel- opers should be security and climate control. Security is important in designing a mail. A well -lit, constantly patrolled parking lot or garage makes customers feel safe. And that perception can play a key role in the success or failure of a mail. Making a mall cotedbouble — climate con- trol — for shoppers is another key to success. Obviously, enclosed nulls don't have climate control problems. Open centers, on the other hand, can be uncomfortable, particularly dur- ing the hot summer months. The solution for these open malls is twofold. When the architect is first designing the mall, he should select a sun and wind orienta- tion that allows cooling breezes while avoiding facing the stores in a westerly direction. Use of overhead fans in open malls can make shop- ping more bearable in these types of centers. Parking in an open mall should be nearby so patron. need not walk far.

Overall, the elements of a successful mail include good design, adequate access and parking, a distinct personality for the center and a good mix of stores. This can be accomplished if the developer, architect and marketer use extensive research, patience, and good common sense. a id Ej S rofenberg defi!9n grouP LAND PLANNING Informational LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE Newsletter MEMBER:AMERICAN SOCIETY OF LANDSCAPE ARCh11TECTB Summer 1989 Dear Industry Professional: BW Rosenberg President Rosenberg Design Group Most developers of planned communities In South Florida are missing a tremendous opportunity. Every weekend, endless radio commercials and newspaper ads tout the advantages of living in a particular community. The club- house, 24•hour security, energy efficient homes, neat floorplans, cathedral ceilings, etc Don't get me wrong. All of these features are important to potential homeowners. But there's one key feature to planned com- munities that developers and marketers rarely take advantage of — landscaping. Landscaping can play a signifi- cant role in the marketing of a planned community if used pro- perly. How? First, the salespeople should be made aware of the landscap- Ing and how it will effect energy savings., howeowners association fees and the aesthetics of the community in the future. While the size, price and loca- tion of the home are obviously the prime purchase considera- tions, these other factors are positive. sales points which can distinguish one community from another. M, . I Country Walk, a South Dade community, has a distinct personality with Its wiruting, shaded walkways and picket fences. Av • Creating a personality for a Planned community is one of the keys to success in marketing accord- ing to Bill Rosenberg, land planner, landscape architect and president of Rosenberg Design Group. "Landscaping should reflect the architectural style of the homes, thus tying in a community with a design theme or personality;" Rosenberg said. "Of course, `Myrtle Wood Estates' should have at least a few myrtle trees on the site. According to Rosenberg, land- scaping — in addition to being compatible with the architectural style --- should also play a key role in reflecting the community's poten- tial target audience, 'A 'yuppie' primary home com- munity may feature open branching shade trees giving the 'woodsy' feet this group enjoys on their yearly trips to the mountains and ski slopes;' Rosenberg pointed out. "On the other hand, a second home community being marketed to "snoyw birds' from the northeast might emphasize palm trees and plants which look best during the winter, a season when they will be visiting here:' From an aesthetic standpoint, there are several areas for developers and their landscape architect to con- sider when planning a community. These Inciude: i Use colorful flowering plants only in key areas such as the entry feature, sales office and clubhouse. Maintenance costs are high on flowering plants for the developer and prohibitive for the HOA. Cordti used on page 4 ON Community Personality - Key.

Dear Industry Professiona4: ConUniJed from page 1 Also, the developer should prepare an inexpensive brochure describing the landscape ar- chitect's philosophy in designing the community. Why are certain types of trees used? (Less main- tenance.) Why are trees in certain locations? (Shade, energy savings) By making a salesforce aware of the advantages of the land- scape scheme and preparing a landscape brochure, developers are sending a clear message to their potential buyers — we care about you after the sate is made. This message distinguishes the developer from his compet- itors and will pay extra dividends on the monthly sales report - As I pointed out In a column nearly a year ago, xeric landscap- ing — using landscaping and ir- rigation techniques to minimize water usage 4- Is becoming more of a reality. Dade County is now strongly considering an ordinance mandating xeric landscaping practices. While such an ordinance Is only in the planning stages, developers should be aware of the progress of the ordinance and how it will effect their projects'` Min • Be conscious of energy saving techniques when selecting and plac- ing trees and shrubs. Placing one of the "required" trees in a zero -lot line homesite where it can shade the air conditioner compressor can save as much as 20% of an air- conditioning energy bill, and will be a great sales pitch for sales people. v Select plant species that re- quire little or no pruning once they reach their normal growth potential and space them to allow this Prun- ing is one of the most expensive maintenance procedures and ofter: has the most negative effect on the aesthetics of a community. 0 Be aware of the cold tolerence of plants. Some tree species may survive a cold spell in the eastern shore area but will die in the colder "inland" development areas 9 Use different tree species to reflect the hierarchy of roadways within the community from the main collector arterial roads to the shorter local streets and parking courts. • Select a predominant tree species that varies from street to street. This gives a subtle but effec- tive sense of direction to help visitors find their way through the winding street's modern land plans and gives a sense of individuality to each street. • The size of the trees should relate to the size of the right of way. A four-laned collector street would permit a larger, more spreading tree than a smaller local street where houses are closer to the edge of the street. • Install a properly designed, quality irrigation system. Such a system will cost approximately 25% more than a bare bones "make -do' type system, but in one to two years, the quality system will have paid for itself in less repairs, main- tenance costs and water savings' Plank SelectionMY , Overcrowding Creates Numerous Problems Continued from page 2 HOA may be having to remove or severely cut back the junk trees, putting the landscape of the com- munity back to the beginning:' The Resident And Hls HOA The developer, in his zeal to make the community look great from the very beginning of sales, may plant more trees and shrubs than he should when considering the potential growth of plants according to Rosenberg. "While this mature look is great for sales, the overcrowding can lead to problems later on when the HOA has to deal with them:' Rosenberg said. "Improperly selected and plac- ed plants may begin to cause struc- tural damage to utilities, pavements and though rarefy, even buildings" Shrub masses too close to street or driveway exits also pose a pro- blem for residents and their HOA. They may have to be severely cart back or removed to allow line of sight for passing motorists and pedestrians, Rosenberg pointed out. Homeowners, he said, will either cut down trees (or petition the HOA to do it) which are growing too close to their roof, dropping messy fruit or plant staining sap on their cars. 'Another problem homeowners face Is overcrowding of trees:' said Rosenberg. "This creates deeply shaded areas, killing sun -loving shrubs and grass which were planted under the trees when they were smaller. This leaves unsightly areas of bare dirt:' One of the major expenses fac- ing HOAs (aside from basic mowing and edging) in landscape mainten- ance Is tree pruning, stated Rosenberg. Proper selection and placement of trees could substan- tially reduce future costs to the homeowner and his HOA, as well as reducing aesthetic damage to the environment. If properly designed and planned for, landscaping can benefit both the developer and the consumer by In- creasing values and decreasing headaches and costs+t N N Problems Arise From Too Much, Wrong Kinds of Planting In the planning and design of new communities today, landscaping plays an increasingly important role. Yet, according to Rosenberg Design Group, one of South Florida's lead- Ing land planning and landscape ar- chitectural firms, most problems associated with landscaping today stem not from a lack of sufficient greenery, but rather too much plant- ing or the wrong kinds of planting. Heres a look pt community land- scaping from the perspective of the developer and the homeowner and his "Homeowner Association" (HOA} The Developer "Most developers are truly well - Intentioned, wanting to build attrac- tive communities which meet the needs and desires of the consumer, while of course, maintaining reason- able profit levels;' said Bill Rosen- berg. "More and more developers are recognizing that landscaping is a very cost effective way of giving their communities a feeling of sta- bilay, sense of neighborhood and anesthetic quality that helps sell homes' According to Rosenberg, some developers — in their desire to reduce the land cost per dwelling unit and thus sell homes for an af- fordable, competitht price — try to squeeze as many dwellings as possi- ble into the site. The landscape design, though an important element, Is left for later. And when it comes time to "tree it up," landscape architects are often "hamstrung" in what they can do. "in the new tightly-pficked com- munities (such as today's popular Planting the wrong trees can result in a severe cutback. zero -lot line communities), it's not good enough anymore to respond to the community landscaping needs after the community Is land planned;' said Rosenberg. "Proper pre -planning entails the landscape architect either being the profes- sional responsible for designing the community's site plan or working closely with the site planner to en- sure that adequate space is provid- ed for entry features, adequate land- scape buffers between busy streets and homes, etc" Coordinating landscaping and utilities while In the planning stage Is vitally important, according to Rosenberg. "Developers should hold a meeting between all the utilities (gas, water, electric) and the land- scape architect;' he said. "In this mbnner, everyone understands the others needs and your development team is all 'on the same page: This will avoid numerous headaches and additional expenses later." Developers, Rosenberg points out, realize that good landscaping helps sell homes by giving the com- munity a sense of stability. Thus, many find it profitable to spend a little more and buy larger trees, planting most of them than may be desirable to get an immediate lush effect.. "Unfortunately, many of the larger trees readily available in large quark - Overcrowding leaves unsightly bare areas - Aggressive root systems can cause damages titles — ear -leaf acacia, rosewood and Ficus benjamina are a few ex- amples — are referred to as 'Junk trees in the landscape industry,' Rosenberg said. "Generally, these faster growing trees are a poor - choice for the long-term integrity of the community because they are short lived and begin to decline in 15 years or sa Also, they tend to be more brittle and break up more easily in a storm and may have damaging root systems.

Landscaping is more than just in- itial impact. It should improve as it grows, increase the value of the pro- perty and keep it competitive with new properties. Most wear and tear on landscaping comes from man, particularly those who are supposed to be taking care of it. Improper pruning and improper use of the weed eater are two of the biggest problems. Mother factor to consider is intru- sion into the landscaping by pedestrians and vehicles. The right plants in the right place can serve as barriers to help direct traffic If you writ discourage foot traffic, select plants which bounce back. For cars, placing plants back from the pays- ment will discourage drivers from rolling over them. Tennis courts are a source of cons- tant maintenance, so don't add addi- tional expense by using improper landscaping nearby. To create the pro- per atmosphere surrounding the court without the maintenance hassle, use Native Plants Read Little Cara Native plants can play a useful role in creating the proper resort atmo- sphere. If you have a resort in Colo- rado, use wildflowers and aspens. In Florida, palms will help to provide the lush, tropical look you seek. In general, native is the way to go. Many states and localities have native -plant organizations which would be more than happy to assist you. Plant labeling can help to make a visitor's stay more enjoyable. Most exchangers or renters from other parts of the country, and even many of your owners, are probably unfamiliar with your region's native plants. Use plastic, engraved plates or a synthetic stone material to label the plants throughout the resort. Anchor the labels well. Some guests will remove the plates, to be prepared to replace them. The cost will be modest. Use plants that attract birds, and DECORATIVE TO DIRECT PEDESTRIAN MAX. 5 CARS BETWEEN TREE ISLANOB ►ARKMG WITH t.UILOMO • SAVE LARGE SPECIMEN TREE IN MIDDLE OF PARKING LOT OF POSSIBLE trees which don't have spreading roots and messy leaf droppings. Another aspect of defensive plant- ing is the choice of appropriate vegetation to accompany security fighting. At many resorts, salespeo- ple point out the lighting to let tour- ing prospects know that management is looking out for their every need. Yet, the plants selected may not be suitable from a security -lighting standpoint. Many developers use the wrong types of plants and trees. By the time the landscaping matures in five to seven years, it has to be cut back because of branches blocking signage, leaf droppings, perceived danger of oversized trees, etc This is a costly process which has a negative effect on the attractiveness of the pro- perty. The solution is quite simple. The landscape architect and electrical engineer should plan the landscaping and lighting together. For that mat- ter, the landscape architect and pro- ject architect should work together on the site plan to assure that the plant- ings are compatible with the land uses on all parts of the site. ■ poNRUBB a TREES TO iCREEN V*RF TO PARKIN / VIEW UP INTO PA , // • QPEN RALM • ., /, : ,i �� VIE YEw QOwN ��%ii- CHANGE OF GRADE CAM PROVIDE PRIVACY, ENHANCE VEws have a brochure with photos of birds native to your area.

They tend to give the resort a commercial, "Holiday lnn" feel. If large parking areas simply can't be avoided, give them a more "homey" atmosphere by breaking up the parking lots with planting areas, medians, etc These green areas are eye-catching and soothe the "harsh- ness" of an endless asphalt parking lot. Parking areas should be well- gluminated to create a moonlight glow. Avoid hot and cold spots -- areas with too much and not enough light. Use soft, diffused lights that don't glare into rooms. The Unit The landscaping around the unit an play a key role in providing your guests with an enjoyable vacation experience. Breaking up the view of the park- ing lot from the unit with a combina- tion of low-lying masses and stemmed plants provides a sense of serenity, yet leaves enough area to see through. Messy, toxic and allergy -inducing plants should, of course, be avoided. Sharp prickly plants should also be avoided unless your resort is in the desert. The view from the portion of the unit not facing the parking lot is also important. After a busy day, visitors may want to "lounge" on the back porch. Many resorts have walkways running near the back of the units, taking away from visitors' sense of Tvas he problem can be solved by changing the grade of the land to enable the lounging visitor to see "out" while still maintaining the privacy of the unit. Pool Area Swimming pools at resorts are not just for swimming. They are social gathering places. That's why lounge chairs always face the pool, so loungers, while getting a tan, can talk to someone in the pool. Because it is The swimming pool and deck become part d a "naturst" habitat Muse of their pror imky 10 a fountan which simulates a free -flowing spring in tlee aenw of a rock-tirsed pool sarrounded by hash vegetation. a gathering place, the pool should have an interesting shape. People go into the pool to cool off between suntanning or to play water sports such as volleyball. Other than physical fitness enthusiasts, people don't go to the pool merely to swim laps. Most resorts, however, fall short on treatment of the pool areas. The shape of the pool and the surround- ing surface make them appear utilitarian. An imeresting-shaped pool is attractive, not only in resort brochures, but also to prospects be- ing toured through the facility. Pools should have lots of shallow area for water sports and lots of steps for sitting and socializing. From a liability standpoint, diving should be discouraged. Shaded areas around the pool are needed because some people cant take too much sun. However, this takes careful planning between Viewed from the pool, foliage will help to hide the rocks along the lain, clumps of vegetation also define the margins of the free -form pool, and separate the pool deck from time tennis court. the landscape architect and the pro- ject architect. Consider wind direction and sun angles when you pian the resort to obtain cooling summer breezes and protection from fall and winter winds. Pools are sometimes on the north ride of the clubhouse, which is the worst place in terms of sun and breezes. Also, pools should not be shaded by buildings. Sales Office And Models For vacation ownership resorts still in sales, the sales office is the heart of the project and as such should be treated differently -- from a land- scaping point of view -- than the re- mainder of the project. Because of its importance, dr&lopers should spend more money at the sales office (and models) by us- ing mature plants and packing them tighter. This gives an impression of credibility and stability. Models, of course, should have the best view in the house, a fact which you should consider when drawing up the site plan. if a marketing team has been selected, their input is vital to the master plan. Some developers use a different selection of plants around the models for a certain "effect:' This is costly and unnecessary. Plants near the models should be the same as those throughout the complex -- only more mature. Using the same type of plants gives prospects a feeling of con- sistency. The path which sales people use to tour prospects can play an important part in the overall sales presentation. Since most sales managers have their salespeople follow a given pattern, landscaping is important. Use lots of color to brighten up these areas (usually along a roadway or between buildings, etc.). Landscap- ing can also help control the environ- ment. Tree shading for protection from the sun and well -placed hedges to cut wind and make the climate more comfortable for the prospects will help to prepare them for the dose. Smaller resorts can give the impres- sion of looking 'larger" through the use of landscaping. Avoid being able to see the entire area from any one vantage point.

It can help to sell the resort. Landscaping Can Snhanca Resort Marketing Effort By Bill Rnsenberg, A.S.L.A.. For many developers of vacation ownership resorts, landscaping is merely an afterthought — a way to cover up pool pumps and air condi- tioning compressors. From a marketing standpoint, salespeople touring prospects around the resort tend to focus on the well- appointed units, wide range of amenities, closeness to local attrac- tions and, of course, exchange. Yet, if used correctly, landscaping can enhance the resort, make it more marketable, and increase profitabili- ty by keeping maintenance costs down. Let's take a tour of our own around the key areas of a resort. Entry Area The entry area is one of the most important — yet frequently one of Ae most overlooked — aspects of a resort, particularly for developers who get prospects via OPC and ren- tal programs. The entry area gives a sense of ar- rival, telling the owners or prospec- tive owners that they have arrived at a special place. Most of these visitors will be arriv- ing at the resort in a car, a key point to remember when planning land- scape features. At the speed a car moves, you can't create the desired ambiance by beginning planting 15 feet from the entrance. To make a dramatic impact, plant masses should extend far down the entry road and should be integrated with walls and signage. The entry drive leading up to the actual entry area should be as long as possible, with landscaping to soothe the visitors after their long ride or plane flight. The whole idea is to create an atmosphere which helps them leave their tares behind. Other- wise, they have no reason to go on vacation. Intricately -designed shrub clusters and flower beds along the entry drive are out. Don t forget, visitors are in a car, wide-eyed with anticipation. Simple masses of shrubs and trees with a discernible rhythm to the design will suffice. The entryway itself should be well - illuminated with white light. Colored lights create a "honky tonk" at- mosphere — certainly not desirable if you are selling weeks for nearly $10,000. Colored lights also change the color of the landscaping and give plants an artificial look. Arddwd's drawing of a waaerortanwd racer oarmpkx an " island in a lane. chnanwrital paving, groups of prim trees, and a fountain give the entrance court of this resort complex a strong sense of arrival. Plantings and paving integrate the adjoining pool and recreation center into the complex. Unless you have spent considerable money on beautiful fight fixtures, the light source should be hidden in trees or set off to the side of the entry area. Light is used to accent something, not to be the accent. If possible, use some sort of tex- tured pavement at the entry area. The feel of the pavement, combined with the sound of rumbling across it, em- phasises that your visitors have arriv- ed someplace special, different. Coordinate your utilities with the area of arrival. Keep transformer boxes and hydrants away from the resort entrance and other prominent areas. Nothing is more unsightly than an ugly yellow fire hydrant in the middle of entryway landscaping. Registration Area In the registration area, you really start to emphasize the theme of the resort and the landscaping. Because people are now getting out of their car, stretching and looking around, use of colorful landscaping is appropriate. But sight is not the only sense to take advantage of at this point. Use all the senses to create an atmosphere which will linger throughout the stay. Use piped -in sounds in the registra- tion area. "Muzak" is okay, but nature sounds, such as birds chirping, would even be better. Water at the registration area has a calming effect on these weary travelers. It doesn't have to be a huge gush from a fountain. The sound of a light trickle of water carries very far. Add a scent in the lobby reflecting the locale surrounding the resort. Use ine for a mountain resort, jasmine or a Florida resort. At a regional resort, you can mate a "back home" atmosphere with the scent of baked apples. It brings back fond memories to most people -- the type of pleas- ant remembrances you want associated with your resort.
