To all - some considerations for site evaluation:
General neighborhood
Streets adjacent to project - major, minor, neighbor or through, what kind of lighting, utilities,
Street trees
Views into from the site. - important? Minor?
Type of neighborhood - condition? Residential, commercial? Ethnicity? Height of buildings
Who are neighbors to project
Where are the property lines, is and shared
Are there easements through the property that would effect the project
Access to project - open, fenced, seating, deliveries for where, services to and from like
garbage and recycling?
Materials of the site - types of paving, railings, lighting, benches, seating, buildings and use
Circulation within the site - how des the garden and shed(s) function
Plant material on site - types of trees and size and their impact regarding shade, roots
Storage of materials on site?
Utilities to and where on site
Various uses on site - gardening, entertaining, gathering, storage, seating, etc
Grades - because the site is relatively flat try to determine grades in the vicinity of the
Shed in 4 or 6 " contours/ elevations. Perhaps 1' elevations beyond. You might make the
Plan at 1/8" scale for the shed area. 1"=10'0" for the balance of the plan. You might want to
set the existing concrete floor of the shed as elev. 0 check to be sure it is
approximately level.
Subjective notations
What do you like not like
What are you initial reactions and ideas - sketch words photographs etc
Client
What do their want - is their program clear, conflicting?
What is missing. What information do you need
I hope this helps as a check list - we assume you will add to this
Call or email if you have questions comments before Friday so your time s not lost.
Best. Rick Lamb
