During my coop at Colerain Township I worked on a variety of projects for not only the planning and zoning director but also for other departments of the township. The following pages show some projects, maps and documents that I made during my coop. These included sidewalk inventory and sidewalk gap maps, checklists for Zoning Commission and BZA members to use, flowcharts/progress chart for vacant foreclosed property registry, major commercial parcels and owners maps, as well as other maps. The projects I worked on were benficial to the planning department, police and fire departments, as well as the township administration and trustees.

Elevations of Proposed Mixed Use Development These elevations were made in Photoshop. They show the proposed mixed use building with a parking lot in the rear from two different street level views.

This neighborhood business district lacked sufficient parking and this proposal provides a parking structure as well as a building for retail, restaurant, or office space. A pedestrian walkway connects the parking area with the town center.

The Commons

The Overlook

On the eastern side of the Air Lift Park is the Overlook, a residential area with excellent views of the surrounding landscape. The single family and townhouse units are a modern design inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright that accommodate the natural existing environment. The Overlook area is quickly accessible to the Commons retail center by bridge and a pedestrian gondola. Finally, we are proud to announce that our industry partner, Maggiano’s, will be serving as the neighborhood’s anchor fine dining experience.

Multi-family Housing The Commons, the retail and community center for the Air Lift Park, lies on the western edge of the proposed development. The Commons is strategically centered to connect visitors from outside the neighborhood to the adjacent multi-family-units and to the single family and townhouse units only a short gondola trip away. The pedestrian friendly design of the area allows for efficient circulation while preserving open green spaces and pleasant views.

The varied topograghy includes ridges, wooded hillsides, ravines, and open meadows and provides outstanding views of the surrounding landscape. Varied housing types including, high density multi-family apartments, townhomes, and single family units provide for a mix of residents by income and lifestlye. Mixed uses and a distiguishing pedestian gondola make The Air Lift Park an attractive location to relax and be entertained.

Our group designed a site plan and made these two posters highlighing the residential (multi family and single family) and the mixed use aspects of our commu|4 nity known as Air Lift Park.

Internship | Future Blooms, Keep Cincinnati Beautiful

Before

After

|Brian Spitzig

During the summer of 2013 I interned with Future Blooms, a part of Keep Cincinnati Beautiful. This program was developed in order to reduce crime in urban areas where vacancy was prevalent. Our objective was to paint windows, doors, awnings, and flower-boxes on abandoned and vacant buildings in neighborhoods throughout Cincinnati. This process encouraged economic development and created a sense of place for the communities.

These photos show this process, before and after.

|

As an intern for Future Blooms, I wanted to utilize my knowledge as an urban planning student in order to help the program. Working with another intern our idea was to create these six maps of the neighborhoods in which Future Blooms works in the most. These maps were made in GIS and Adobe Illustrator and laminated. They show the buildings and roads. The lamination allows Future Blooms the ability to mark the buildings they have painted, still need to paint, or potential buildings for future work in each neighborhood.

3D Model of Site

|

This site, located in downtown Cincinnati, is currently being used as surface parking for commuters who work in the area. After analyzing its strengths and weaknesses, I designed a site plan that utilized the potential of the surrounding area. Two mixed use, office/retail, complexes would be constructed with below ground parking and two residential complexes would be built as well to house the potential of new residents that may be attracted to the area.

The renderings provide a graphic representation of the proposed development. A 3D model shows the proposed redevelopment in relation to the surrounding buildings.

Over the Rhine Community Housing

Over-the-Rhine Community Housing is a non-profit community development corporation that focuses on developing and managing affordable housing for lower income residents of the Over the Rhine community. Our class worked to create a database of the group’s real estate portfolio. I created the map to the left which provides the Over the Rhine Community Housing group a map of the neighborhood’s features and amenities that may relate to where someone would want to live. These features include schools, hospitals, daycare centers, police stations, parks, etc. My aspect of the project was hyper-linking photos to a GIS map.

Hyper-linking photos of their property will allow the Over the Rhine Community Housing group the ability to visually see where they have vacant lots and housing that could either be sold, renovated, or restored.

Working with a group, created a fifty page book analyzing the neighborhood business district of Mt. Lookout, Cincinnati. Researched and presented the history, culture, architecture, infrastructure, ecology, and commerce of the community. I made these two maps in GIS and Adobe Illustrator, highlighting the existing uses and features of the business district.
