Site planning and design, particularly in these days of rapid development, environmental concerns and regulatory requirements, involve applying a vast amount of professional knowledge and a range of skills with the ability to work with people. It requires in-depth understanding of and interpretation of geotechnical issues and topography; federal and local stormwater regulations, water, sanitary and stormwater system design, as well as right-of-way and highway issues. Site planning and design involve the ability to balance the clients' needs against a myriad of constraints.  Paragon Associates stays current with professional skills and training in order to provide the best possible design solutions.

The Brookside Meadows and Brickworks Addition is a 21-lot planned development district in the City of La Crosse, Wisconsin.  Our services included surveying, planning, design, bid document preparation, and construction engineering for this project that contains 20 duplex lots and 40 apartment units.  Our design services also included the preparation of extensive landscaping plans and erosion control measures, as well as all necessary drawings for the 2400 lineal feet of roadways.  The project also contained 3000 lineal feet of sanitary sewer and 2800 lineal feet of water main.

The School District of Onalaska hired Paragon Associates to survey, plan and engineer the construction of a new elementary school.  In addition, we developed the plans for the associated softball, soccer, and physical education playing fields.

Paragon also completed the access design to the new school. The North Theater Road design required working around several important concerns, including water supply for fire protection, steep slopes, periodic heavy traffic during school events, and an intersection with a very busy county trunk highway. Lighting, landscaping and a bike trail were also included.

Paragon coordinated with the City of Onalaska, the Department of Transportation, and the School District to provide safe and convenient access and service.

The Front Street complex was developed in multiple phases, Project elements included: the Riverplace Apartments, an upscale residential complex; Grandstay Suites, an extended stay residential hotel, CenturyTel headquarters; and the initial site work for the Machine Products re-development project.  Paragon Associates performed survey services for the project, Including certified survey maps, ALTA surveys and as-built surveys.    This project has helped lead the way toward the re-vitalization of the downtown area.
