Most recently, I served as SRF's group leader for our Fargo and Bismarck offices. I assisted local governments in North Dakota, South Dakota and Minnesota with zoning ordinances, comprehensive plans, transportation plans, corridor studies, and a variety of land use and transportation planning projects. I completed and oversaw the completion of several environmental clearance documents for transportation improvements. Several of these projects required extensive public involvement. I also worked with local governments in North Dakota to process monthly development applications such as subdivision applications, zoning changes, conditional use permits, and land use plan amendment applications. As part of this process, I also reviewed building permit applications to ensure zoning compliance.
