SENIOR HOUSING
Lincoln
Commons- Senior Housing
425 Lincoln Avenue, Borough of Haddonfield, NJ
The Ingerman Group
ADLER
was selected by The Ingerman Group to provide surveying,
engineering, and landscape architecture services associated
with the construction of a 43-unit, income restricted,
independent living, senior housing complex in the historic
Borough of Haddonfield.
The project consisted of the demolition of the former
NJDOT building at the site, construction of the new building,
parking, storm-water management system, extensive landscaping,
retaining wall, lighting, and utilities. Due to the extreme sensitivity of this controversial
project located in a residential neighborhood, ADLER
worked closely with the client, the Borough Planning Board and
subcommittee, and the Borough Engineer to incorporate Borough
and resident concerns and create an overall
appealing/successful project.
For the planning and site
development activities on this project, ADLER provided
the following services:
·
ALTA/ACSM survey with topography, utilities, landscaping,
“drip-lines” of existing trees, and locations of offsite
buildings, utilities, and roadway sections.
·
Full civil site engineering design and plans.
·
Design of parking lot layout, ingress/egress routes,
circulation, and pedestrian access. (Special design
consideration was given to layout and grading due to the use
and occupants of the facility).
·
Design of site grading, drainage (subsurface detention with
recharge system), utility, retaining wall, pavement, parking
and pedestrian lighting, and soil erosion measures.
·
Landscape architecture design for new aesthetic plantings,
buffers, and screens, while focusing on preserving and
complimenting existing mature vegetation.
Design also included notes and specifications for
pruning, trimming, thinning and select removal of existing
vegetation.
·
Coordination with Borough for site and drainage improvements.
·
Acquisition of County and Borough permits and approvals.
·
Expert testimony at numerous Borough Planning Board and Site
Plan Subcommittee meetings.

STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS
Streetscape and Corridor Revitalization,
Runnemede, NJ
ADLER has been appointed by the Borough of Runnemede, Camden
County, New Jersey, for the preparation of a Revitalization
Plan for the Route 168 corridor (approximately 1.1 miles) and
the Clements Bridge Road streetscape.
The goal of the Revitalization Plan was to develop an
attractive streetscape improvement program, develop a program
for establishing public parking facilities, improve pedestrian
movement along the respective streets and to local businesses,
establish a program to market and encourage new business
ventures and growth, develop improvement standards, and
facilitate voluntary contributions from local merchants and
residents. The
development of this plan consisted of an evaluation of
existing land use, on and off-street parking, pedestrian
routes, and traffic characteristics; an analysis of the
existing ordinances and master plan; an analysis of overall
functional/efficiency relationship; and interactive meetings
with Borough and County Officials, merchants, residents, local
organizations, the NJDOT.
The plan summarized the findings of our evaluation and
analysis, provided recommendations as to methods and measures
to implement for revitalizing the corridors, and served as a
basis for seeking funding.
To compliment and further support the recommendations
of the Revitalization Plan, ADLER assisted the
Borough with establishing an active Beautification Committee,
enacting improvement standards and modifications to the
ordinances, enacting the position of Director of Economic
Development, and identifying and seeking additional
grants/funding opportunities.
