Site Development Considerations for Our Changing Weather Patterns
Case Studies: What Works, What to Watch Out For, and How to Encourage Success
A Symposium presented by The Rockfall Foundation and UConn Climate Adaptation Academy
|
Join us for an examination of what we've been doing and how it's working. We'll discuss progress in eco-friendly commercial development and visit completed projects including a LID residential development, a pervious pavement parking lot, and a municipal stormwater upgrade - to learn more about both the long and short term challenges and successes. |

Registration - 8 am
Program - 8:30 am to 1 pm
Lunch (optional) - 1 pm
Join us as we take a look back and then a look forward. The Jordan Cove Subdivision in Waterford is now 15 years old with multiple homeowners and expiring deed restrictions; we’ll examine how this worked and apply that information going forward. We’ll also learn about what’s been done on the UConn campus in Storrs (pervious parking lot and more) including lessons learned and whether maintenance is an issue or not; and we’ll have a return visit from Giovanni Zinn in New Haven to get a progress report on the green infrastructure he discussed at the 2016 Symposium, including how it has fared in both drought and flood conditions. Finally, we’ll hear about successful sites nationwide and how our regulations and mindsets may need to be adjusted in order to foster site development that works with our changing weather patterns. 3.5 AICP CM CREDITS APPROVED Who should attend: Local elected and appointed officials; planners and zoning enforcement officials; architects; developers; engineers; landscape architects; educators; students; Planning, Zoning, Wetlands and ZBA board and commission members; and all concerned with our changing weather patterns and how best to design for them.
