Postby Riety » Sun Jun 24, 2018 8:29 pm

Hi all,
Running down the clock. Last practice session before SPD test on Monday. Comments appreciated!!

Site Design has not been my friend. I know that using the parking to access service drive is not ideal, but it got the HC spots within range.

Sparky are you there?

Alternate 3 Program using NCARB basefile

A developer plans to build an Office Tower, a Restaurant, and a Pedestrian Plaza on the site, with parking to serve the new buildings.

1. Locate the 4-story, 48 ft high Office Building close to Bentley Avenue.
· The main entrance shall be protected from winter winds by buildings and/or trees, as appropriate.

2. Locate the 2-story, 36 ft high Restaurant close to the pond.

3. Draw a 12,000 ft² Pedestrian Plaza.
· Locate the Pedestrian Plaza within the building limit lines so that the main entrance to Restaurant opens directly onto the Pedestrian Plaza.

11. Draw vehicular circulation to access the parking and service entrance.

· A turnaround or drive-through circulation is not required for the service drive.

12. Connect the Pedestrian Plaza, the universally accessible parking spaces, and the main entrances of the two buildings to each other and to the existing public walk with a continuous walkway system.

I just did this one too and posted. Yours looks pretty good to me. My only comment is that the coniferous trees by service drive will block view but wont provide shade so Id suggest finding a way to put some deciduous trees there too to block the sun from Plaza.

and make sure you have 7' from building where the HC parking is. It looks like only 5'

Thanks cma.

I used a 7x7 sketch square to confirm the clearance so I think I am good there. Both tree types cast shadows. The conifers also block views and wind
