the
Conceptual Design Phase

The conceptual design phase submittal is intended to address the established project goals and the additional input received from the SGPOA board presentation and the subsequent workshop meeting with members of the landscape and infrastructure committees. The conceptual design drawings include herein suggest design solutions, options and alternatives for the T-roads, Leisure Lane, additional outdoor venues and site improvements such as fencing, signage site furniture, as well as, signature plants and recommended planting palettes. The submittal is comprised of drawings at various scales primarily plan layouts supplemented with some perspective sketches, details and photographs to clarify design intent. The stated goals of the SGPOA are as follows: - To achieve a harmonious and consistent flow through the common areas of natural-looking and appropriate landscaping and signature elements based on the three zones of Gulf View, Midland and Bay view, as identified in the SGPOA Design Guide. - Foster development and sustainability of safe roadways and bike paths through improvements to rights-of-ways, easements and medians. - Provide for additional outdoor venues for owner and guest enjoyment.

road shoulders between the edge of paving and the existing native vegetation will allow the native understory vegetation to regenerate over time reducing annual maintenance costs; road-shoulders may also be augmented with sporadic groups of new plantings of native species in a random natural-spacing arrangement. Plant selections will correlate to the surrounding plant community; in this case understory plants from the Pine Flatwoods and Palustrine Ecotone Palettes would be well-suited including broad-leafed shrubs such as, yaupon holly, saw palmetto, gallberry, and for flowering color & interest - St. Johns wort, Florida flame azalea, swamp azalea and native iris including blue flag.
1. REFORESTATION
Heavily mulched areas with gently curving bed lines delineate the revised limits of mowing allowing for the native vegetation to regenerate over time reducing annual maintenance costs. Re-vegetation of the broad road shoulders can be expedited with the planting of scattered groupings of native trees and understory shrubs and groundcovers. Proximity to the edge of the roadway and the plant selections for replanting and reforestation will correspond to the context and predominant plant community, i.e. palustrine wetland ecotone, xeric scrub or pine flatwoods.
4. ADDITIONAL PAVING the existing right-
of-way on Curlew Way will allow for the design and construction of two new linear cul-de-sac turnarounds at the east and west termini which would improve access for fire trucks, moving vans and other larger vehicles. The conceptual plan indicates a proposed layout of the paving and new median islands which can be reforested.

Discontinued mowing on the road shoulders between the shell edging/band and existing vegetation will allow the native understory vegetation to regenerate over time reducing annual maintenance costs; these roadshoulders should also be augmented with sporadic groups of new plantings of native species in a random natural-spacing arrangement. Plant selections will correlate to the surrounding plant community; in this case xeric constituents on Denis Drive and Sea Oat Drive should include palmetto, scrub mint, coontie, dwarf yaupon holly, bear grass, beach morning glory, sea oats, sea purslane, etc.
Planting the center median and the road shoulders with overstory shade trees such as sand live oak, southern live oak and long leaf pine will eventually generate a beautiful canopy road effect over time. The overstory planting will also aid and benefit regeneration of the native understory plants. The medians should be excavated to create a shallow swale before planting to allow for the collection of the stormwater runoff to irrigate the trees and understory.
Paved crossovers at locations where driveways coincide on opposite sides and/or where current use patterns indicates the need.

Controlled Burn Alternative Plan

The Florida Forest Service (FS) with the support of the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve ANERR have plans to perform a prescribed, controlled burn on the state-owned lands which surround Nicks Hole in February of 2013. The attached plan is presented as an alternative to the notion of burning the entire area and has been designed in response to the concerns raised by representatives of the St. George Plantation Owners Association (SGPOA). This alternative plan has not yet been reviewed by the FFS or ANERR and is, however, it is subject to their valued input, review and approval. The alternative plan indicates the proposed limits of the controlled burning management area and also delineates and another discrete preservation area which would be managed by alternative methods such as the gradual and incremental thinning, pruning and removal of understory vegetation to remove and reduce fuel. Use of these techniques and methods are also intended to improve the health and appearance of the plant community. It is proposed that the preservation area will be separated from the controlled burn area by means of a pseudo-firebreak which would be created by use of mechanical equipment such as a Gyro-Trac. Use of the Gyro-Trac equipment will not create an actual firebreak as defined by FFS; which would require grading to remove organic matter and organic soil to the level/depth of mineral soil. However, this approach would not disrupt the natural drainage patterns or hydrology of the wetland area and the ecotone. The preservation area to remain will act as a visual buffer separating the controlled burn management area from the vantage point of Leisure Lane and can be managed by the hand clearing and thinning techniques as described previously, thereby addressing the concerns expressed by the SGPOA. The link below is to a video demonstrating the use of the Gyro-Trac equipment in Sonoma, California for the purpose of creating fire breaks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Qr8INmYAT8

Pine Flatwoods are the most common plant community in Florida and are characterized by acidic, sandy soil with a hardpan layer 1 to 3 feet below the surface. Moisture levels vary from dry to nearly saturated during the wet season. In natural settings, fires caused by lighting occur every 5-10 years leaving ash to fertilize new growth. Long ago, the pine flatwoods floor was cleared by fire. Now, without regular fires, the shrub strata dominate. In managed conservation areas, controlled burns are conducted to reduce the amount of fuel plants on the forest floor and to encourage growth of herbaceous species. The most dominant species include Longleaf Pine, Slash Pine or Pond Pine (depending on hydric conditions), Saw Palmetto, Gallberry, Fetterbush and Tarflower. The forest floor has herbaceous species such as Wiregrass, Muhly grass, Blazing Star, Violet and Lilies species adapted to both wet and dry conditions. Occasionally there are Dahoon Holly, Persimmon, Maple Tree, Loblolly Bay and Sweet Bay.

The Xeric Scrub community is characterized by deep acid sand with virtually no organic matter except for surface litter, the soils are infertile and extremely welldrained, being low in moisture retention. Under natural conditions, high intensity fires occur at 20 to 80 year intervals. Plants of his community require good drainage and suffer from flooding and wet or heavy soils. They are drought and frost resistant and can endure light shade and slight salt exposure. Usually the xeric scrub has a canopy of Pinus clausa; when no pines are present, the scrub community can be viewed as a dwarf forest, where plants which are normally understory or shrubs are the tallest woody plants, and function as canopy.
