Points For Site Analysis

The document outlines a comprehensive site analysis process involving examination of natural site conditions, surrounding man-made and cultural influences, and infrastructure. It describes analyzing the project site at multiple scales from regional to micro-level. Key areas of analysis include topography, climate, ecology, existing land use, neighborhood context, and built environment considerations. Supplementary maps and research data are recommended to document site features, opportunities, and constraints relevant to planning.

These amplify the survey notations and describe all conditions on or related to site
that are pertinent in its planning. Such supplementary information might describe or
note:
 Outstanding natural features such as springs, ponds, streams, rock, ledges,
spicemen trees, contributing shrubs masses, and established ground covers
all to preserved insofar as possible.
 Tentative outlines of proposed preservation, conservation, and development
(pcd) areas.
 Negative site features or hazards such as obsolete structures or deleterious
materials to be removed, dead or diseased vegetation, noxious weed
infestation, lack of topsoil, or evidence of landslides, subsidence or flooding
 Directions and relative volumes of vehicular traffic flow on approach roads;
points of connection to pedestrian routes, bikeways, and riding trails.
