BL Alternate

Testing tomorrow; this is my final practice layout. This is the Community Library alternate and I had to substitute some room labels from the default program, so I'm not expecting any general comments. BUT a couple specific questions coming from this:

1) I had to take out a tree on the north elevation--I stayed within the building limit line, but still overlap the canopy. The program doesn't say that all trees are to remain, but is this a problem?

2) On the 2nd floor, LM is supposed to be "near" both SO and the BR; I tried my best to split the difference using the doors, but is this near enough?

I doubt that you will encounter a site with trees anywhere near the BLL. If trees are an issue the program will tell you.

That works. I would probably place a door at each end of LM.

L proportions weak.
Move W door north to improve control.
Move CR door east.
Dbl check S area. Looks undersized.
Easy pass as is if S is OK.
