Troy Scherer, PLA, ASLA Signature Work Examples CANNERY DISTRICT Bozeman, Montana The Cannery District commercial development master plan. Located on the northern edge of Bozeman, the site of the long forgotten canning warehouse, is quickly becoming one of Bozeman’s premier commercial districts. The planning and development process focused on creating a truly unique environment that feels more like a campus than a commercial business district. Working closely with the City of Bozeman planning department, the design team was able to develop a comprehensive multi-phase, multi year PUD master plan which allows for continued development with minimal interference with existing district businesses. Design 5’s role in the project included site planning and planting design support in collaboration with Linda Iverson Landscape Design. Planting beds have been designed with drought tolerant species. All parking lot swales are designed as inﬁ ltration basins using water tolerant plants and inﬁ ltrating, engineered soils. STORY MILL COMMUNITY PARK Bozeman, Montana The Story Mill Park will protect and transform 60 acres adjoining the historic Story Mill in Bozeman, Montana, into a unique city park with opportunities for active recreation, outdoor and community gathering spaces, a nature sanctuary, new trails and trail connections, and natural and cultural interpretive programs. All while enhancing and reestablishing the native wetland habitat. Working closely with the Trust for Public Land, since 2012, we have collaborated with; design professionals, wetland specialists, and The City of Bozeman striving to create a true keystone park for the city and surrounding communities. In the ﬁ nal phase of this project we have worked as a consultant to Design Workshop and we will be doing construction observation as the park is built. PROJECT RECOGNITION The Idaho/Montana Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects 2017 President’s Award of Excellence COMMUNITY FOOD CO-OP Bozeman, Montana Bozeman Community Food CO-OP parking lot landscaping strives to create the feel of a park within a parking lot. The massing of plant material creates drifts of color within the parking infrastructure while providing a low maintenance alternative to traditional parking lot landscaping. Waterwise and adaptive species were used throughout the site to reduce the environmental impact of the landscape. Raised steel vegetable planters, natural steel edging, and concrete seat walls provide the contemporary frame work of the landscape. These shifts in hardscape material develop the space making of the site creating areas of refuge within the public space.
