This by far was my favorite project to work on. Along with the Planning Director at Eagle Mountain City, I met with several developers who were trying to submit designs for new neighborhoods. In the particular instance we were discussing the potential to build on a strange part of land. You can see two dotted lines going through the middle of the piece of land. These two lines represent an easement where houses are not permitted to be built on. The dotted lines on the top of the picture also represent another easement. The diagonal lines throughout the sketch represents potential open space. We had to find a way to build cluster homes on the piece of land and we needed to come up with suggestions to give to the developer. Using an engineering scale we had to abide by certain length restrictions due to the city's code and find a way to have the most possible units on the small piece of land. The dark colored in rectangles represent rear-entry shared drive ways. This design allows for more open space. After a day or two of going through multiple drafts this was the final design that I submitted to the developer. It is still going through approval with the Planning Commission and City Council but there is a possibility that the developer will stick with design and begin the building process soon. Lets cross our fingers. (Click on the image to make it larger.)
