Kevin provided his land planning expertise to John Laing Homes on this project. The Southern Oaks project is a major component of the community of Stevenson Ranch, located in northern Los Angeles County, CA. The project consists of 600 semi‐custom home sites, mini‐parks, trails, and dedicated open space. This project contained some of the most difficult environmental constraints that Kevin ever encountered; from 400‐year‐old oak trees to major drainage courses and open chaparral, together with the historical significance of a possible Native American settlement. All of these factors had to be balanced with the public safety, access, and the economic constraints of the development.
