HELP SPD vignette ALTERNATE PROGRAM # 3

Postby architectco » Fri Jan 12, 2018 4:56 am

Hi,

Its getting very close to the end of 4.0 and i want to at least get the 3 exams done before the end to transition to 5.0 my exam is in a couple of days. Please
see "ALTERNATE PROGRAM # 3" below for spd Vignette and the attached screenshot ( The screenshot is cut off I had to reduce the pixals but the site layout is the same as the original Vignette).

A few questions:

- Can the walk go through deciduous trees?
- Look at my parking spots in relation to the road is it ok?
- What is the definition of closeness ? does the whole building need to be in the close dimension or as long as part of the building is in there its ok?
- the NCARB example shows the walk traversing the roadway is this ok? I saw a poster who said it was not ?


In any case any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
J.

The only thing I see is that your accessible parking spaces may be greater than 100' from the main entry of the restaurant. Also, deciduous trees on the south side of plaza will shade it but they won't block the views of the service area (on part of the plaza closest to the office entry - draw vectors between all parts of the plaza to the service drive, I think you might have some visibility there). I think everything else looks good.
