Hi all,
Here's my first attempt at the planning vignette. I'm testing soon so I'm hoping someone can let me know what's going on (Sparky?) . Will I need to know how to do an angled parking stall at all?
Here are some questions related to my vignette:
Can the pedestrian plaza be a walk to the handicap spaces?
Does my plaza get sun? What’s an easy way to figure out sun being allowed or shaded from noon sun? Is this a fatal error? Is the sun angle coming from the northwest and casting a shadow or am I missing something?
Is this too much walk on the south side of the parking lot?
Are these trees enough to block the wind?
Does the public walk need to touch the main entry triangle at the restaurant?
What are the FATAL errors in my solution?
Service drive: I’ve seen solutions that have the service drive drawn as shown, and others where the drive, faces and drives up to the service entry (rotate the service drive in my image)...I’ve seen Sparky say that violates the 5’ setback rule for buildings to driveways. Is that because the drive is facing the service entry, as opposed to running along it (like shown in my solution?) Or should my solution also have a 5’ setback as well?
You guys are all awesome! Thanks!
