RV Storage Parking Lot

This project for the Village of Royal Palm Beach aimed to provide space for residents to store recreational vehicles and prefabricated structures such as mobile homes and boats.

As part of our continuing contract to provide engineering services to the village, Erdman Anthony provided site planning, traffic engineering, civil engineering, permitting, preparation of plans and specifications, and land surveying. The team included subconsultants for landscape architecture and electrical engineering.

The project involved:

• Two concrete parking lots, with spaces 25 or 40 feet long
• Establishing landscape screening around the parking lots
• Adding a water service line for residents to use to wash their vehicles in a wash area.
• A sewerage dump station for emptying storage tanks, near the wash area
• Security measures including fencing, card-controlled access gates, lighting, and cameras
• A drainage system to discharge to a dry detention pond that was built on village-owned land under the FPL transmission lines
• Providing limited construction-phase services to assist the village’s engineering staff with responding to RFIs and reviewing shop drawings

The village does not allow these sorts of large vehicles and prefabricated structures to be stored in the driveways, so residents now have a safe, convenient, and affordable solution.

In addition, given that the village owned land under a Florida Power & Light (FPL) easement, it made good use of that vacant and underutilized property.
