SITE DESIGN ALT#3

Postby tzkhor » Sat Mar 03, 2018 9:20 am

Please see my vignette alternate 3 (program provided below). Question for you:
1) When program says " Entrance visible to x Street" -- Does it mean that the bldg. entrance has to be fully facing x street, or somehow tilted is ok as long as it is visible from the street?

2) how "close" is considered close ?

Thanks for your feedback.

In your retry, I would think about moving the OT to the left just a touch. Currently, it looks clear of the easement in the top right corner, but it might be too close for comfort.

Hi. There is no circulation to the right hand row of your parking. Also, not sure if the Restaurant is "close" enough to the pond.
