Board approves multiple licensure applications, pauses one for reciprocity checks and grants CEU medical extension
Summary
The board approved several candidates for landscape-architecture licensure, welcomed Joseph Sobniewski (sworn in at the meeting), paused review of Ryan Manning’s application pending reciprocity verification, and granted a one-year continuing-education extension for medical reasons.
The Connecticut Landscape Architecture Board approved multiple licensure applications, paused one application for additional verification, and granted a medical continuing-education extension during its meeting.
Joseph Sobniewski, who introduced himself at the start of the meeting and described 17 years in landscape construction and recent work as a public-works director, had his application moved up on the agenda and was approved. A board member moved the approval and the motion passed with members saying “Aye.” The chair congratulated Sobniewski and welcomed him.
Board members reviewed other applications in the docket. Janice flagged that Ryan Manning’s online materials listed licenses in New York and Colorado, prompting staff to check reciprocity procedures. Maggie from licensing confirmed that Manning is listed as licensed in New York through 2028; the board agreed the application should be handled administratively as a potential reciprocity case and paused formal action to allow staff to follow up.
Other candidates approved during the meeting included Marco Gomes de Cruz and Yanan Wu after board review and motions. The board also discussed corporate-practice filings and noted three corporate practice items in the docket.
Separately, the board considered a continuing-education waiver request submitted for medical reasons. Staff confirmed the applicant provided medical documentation and explained redaction/FOI protections for submitted records. The board voted to grant the one‑year extension requested.
Motions recorded in the meeting included approval of the Feb. 17 minutes, approval of individual applications (including Sobniewski and Wu), and approval of the requested one-year CEU extension. The chair adjourned the meeting at 11:04.
