Site Design Vignette - Only losing 2 trees!

Postby noahinblue » Thu Feb 22, 2018 12:23 am

Any thoughts on this solution?
I'm not crazy about my parking layout & will do it differently on my next attempt - but I only had to lose 2 trees. (I know - no extra points for saving trees)
---I won't work the parking around the trees like I did on the next run through.
What do you think about the Plaza configuration? Is there a shape that is more often accepted?

Thanks - this test is right around the corner for me!

I was having a hard time last night getting the file to attach correctly - it should work now.

Here's a questions I've been looking for help on:
"The Restaurant shall have a few of the Pond" - What side of the building will best give this view? I'm guessing either of the longer sides, but then the entry doesn't have a view of the pond.

Thanks for your review!

SEVERE over use of new trees. A single row is enough, and they are not needed upwind of the restaurant or outside the building limit line.
No bonus points for killing fewer trees.
Why are there walks to the driveway?

Sparky would he be downgraded for that sharp turn into the service area? It seems like it would be a tricky turn for big trucks but I don't know if NCARB is considering that or not.

Doesn't matter unless they say so.
