Sarasota High School Multi-Use Recreational Trail and Fence
This project is going through the final punch lists and certifications. Final photos to come soon! The Sidewalk and Multi-Use Recreational Trail was designed to enhance the existing infrastructure for pedestrian circulation around the perimeter of the high school. Design features included ADA compliance, pavement marking and shared-use bicycle lanes. FDOT permitting was necessary along US 41 for use of Right of Way (ROW) to widen the existing sidewalk to a 10-foot width.
​
The security fencing that DMK had designed for the high school was designed around the entire campus. During the project kick-off meeting it was important to get input from essential personnel such as the school Principal, grounds maintenance crew, athletic department, etc. This type of collaboration is essential to design a successful project. The final design included pedestrian, utility and vehicular access points. The products used for the fencing varied, depending upon location, from decorative aluminum fencing, vinyl coated chain link, to a pre-cast concrete wall (Permacast). The Permacast wall was installed along the North property line to ensure full privacy for residents and students alike.
Morris Industrial Park, Englewood
DMK has completed many projects throughout the Morris Industrial Park located in Englewood, Florida dating back to 1990. Currently we are working on the development of two sites. One, a 9,000 sq.ft. manufacturing facility with office space and the other a 9800 sq.ft. storage building with minimal office space. The site design for these projects includes the following: Parking and striping for 15-35 spaces, Onsite Treatment and Disposal System (OSTDS), Potable water connection to Englewood Water District (EWD), Fireline sizing, Stormwater analysis and storage, and landscape plans. Other tasks within these contracts included surveying services, permitting with the County, FDEP, SWFWMD, and EWD, construction phase services including Engineer of Record tasks. These projects are in the tail end of permitting and the other is in the infancy stages of construction.

Approximately 1,680 LF of Eco-Filter Tube has been planted with native wetland vegetation. This project also consists of the removal of 17 existing docks and the reconstruction of 10 individual docks for residents. The surveys needed for this project consisted of Transects, Wetland Line and the Mean High Water Line. DMK is also responsible for Construction Phase Services, currently underway.
Douglas Jeep, Venice
As many of you may have noticed the old concrete piping building near Center Road and US 41 is now being converted into the newest Douglas JEEP Dealership. The dealership is contracted through JE Charlotte with Cornel Christea as the superintendent.

(VABI) is also partaking in this project by creating an Urban Forest. Urban forests are created by using native plants and trees to restore wildlife habitat and to create a community friendly place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. This project is still under design and permitting.
