Parking Lot Redesign

Abstract

The gatekeeper for this proposal to redesign the parking lot at M-NCPPC’s Largo Headquarters, is the Prince George’s County Planning Board, which will approve the new parking lot design. The proposal is specifically addressed to Lakisha Hull, Director of the Prince George’s County Planning Department. With the board members, Ms. Hull will review the suggested layout and direct the planning and design team who will sketch out and implement the rain garden. The primary contact for this proposal is Theodore Levy of the County Planning Department, overseeing the planning and architectural team. Another audience for this proposal is horticulturalists, plant ecologists, landscapers, garden designers, and construction contractors. The horticulturalists bring knowledge of plant materials native to Largo that would thrive in the rain garden. Landscapers can suggest best designs for feasibility and maintenance. The contractors will be responsible for the building the new layout. All these individuals will advise the design team and provide insight on the best way to implement the new layout. A final audience are the employees who work at the Largo Headquarters and community members who live in the area. The parking lot is mainly used by employees who can give insight into the most useful features of the parking lot that should be kept. As well, community members can provide insight into what they would like to see in their community and what they would use.
