SITE-DESIGN PROCESS

1. Gathering Data classification ownership history (interview) source of water supply power supply road network drainage system contour map

2. Analysis Phase slope analysis soil analysis (type of soil) solar analysis wind analysis noise analysis

Natural Physical Features sub water natural drainage (creek, river, canal) slopes ruptures fault line temperature precipitation

surface water flora and fauna pollution

Man made Features (artificial character of the site) Technical- circulation historical value

Physical- site utilities water supply irrigation system service of police, hospital and firemen existing structures (affects the flow of air) sound condition improvements taxes

Regulatory- planning regulation (setback, BHL) fire code highway and traffic

3. Synthesis Phase preliminary sketches

4. Final Site Development Plan 5. Bidding 6. Construction

CHECKLIST

1. Descriptive Data- drawing scale north orientation

2. Site Boundaries- property line public walk planting strip surface water

3. Dimensions- property boundaries angles site area

4. Topography- range and contour datum points elevation of roads

5. Existing Conditions- roads and drives surface water manhole light poles RROW power lines fire hydrants traffic signal rock formation caves funnels

6. Drainage- culvert

catch basin inert elevation

7. Landscaping- trees ground water shrubs

8. Utilities- water mains gas mains electrical telephone sewage

9. Construction aids- bench mark and monuments property boundary
