Questions and Comments For Site Grading:

- My strategy was to create a crest that leads the water into the swale at both ends. Does my topography correctly represent this strategy?
- Can the swales at the front of the building be triangulated, or should it be more polygonal to represent proper water drainage?
- For the Base / Floor Elevation, I have the topography wrapped exactly around the building; is this correct, or should I have a tolerance around the building?
- I measured the total distance between topography, not just the horizontal projected distances, none of the grading exceeds 50' separation.

Questions and Comments for Site Design

- I took cues from the NCARB site plan solution by cutting the walkway through the driveway @ the restaurant.
- I added Coniferous trees at the east to block the wind.
- Is it OK NOT to add a buffer around the parking spaces?
- Where do you reference the 100' Distance from the Handicap to the Entrance? Is it from center of space to center of entrance, or end/start of parking space to end/start of entrance?

Thank you for all your help!

- Can the swales at the front of the building be triangulated, or should it be more polygonal to represent proper water drainage? What?
- For the Base / Floor Elevation, I have the topography wrapped exactly around the building; is this correct, or should I have a tolerance around the building? Tracing the edge of the display is correct.
- I measured the total distance between topography, not just the horizontal projected distances, none of the grading exceeds 50' separation.

Bring the "points" of 107 closer to each other on the west side of the display.

Questions and Comments for Site Design

- I took cues from the NCARB site plan solution by cutting the walkway through the driveway @ the restaurant. Bad idea. NCARB passing examples contain errors. Repeating them is not recommended and you won't have an example to look at in the testing room.
- I added Coniferous trees at the east to block the wind. You also blocked the view of the pond from the restaurant. New trees east of the restaurant serve no purpose.
- Is it OK NOT to add a buffer around the parking spaces? Does not matter.
- Where do you reference the 100' Distance from the Handicap to the Entrance? Is it from center of space to center of entrance, or end/start of parking space to end/start of entrance? Spaces should be entirely within 100' of the OT entry...point of triangle at building.

Thank you for all your help!

Walks crossing drives are not continuous as required and is a safety issue.
NW corner of the PP has no winter wind protection.

Thank you Sparky, very helpful responses. I redid the vignette.

- Can the swales at the front of the building be triangulated, or should it be more polygonal to represent proper water drainage? What?

What I meant is that can the end of the swale at 107' be a point (triangulated) or does it have to be slightly rounded?

What do you think about the public walkway?

Again, anyone's thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Best,

Best,

SG is still over graded.

SD-
New coniferous trees partially block the view of the pond from the restaurant. New coniferous trees downwind of the restaurant serve no purpose.

Thank you Sparky,

The SG is over-graded, I am assuming I do not need to modify contours 110 and 109?

Correct.
