42. Parking & Drive Considerations Get guests to the front door, groceries to the side door, cars into parking slots or into a garage…functionality. Park Neatly! Parking slots are typically 9x18 Turning radius is 17’ Plan for larger SUVs & UPS trucks!

51. 016-3 Construction: The Hub Hardscape

53. Parking Interface with Hub Driveway consisting of concrete, asphalt or gravel is best harmonized with the hub materials. Stone edging or banding on drive likewise in harmony/color way. Exiting a garage takes 35’ minimum for a normal car without complicated 3 point turns…a car takes 20’ to simply get out of a garage, the turn to back up is a 17’ Radius A typical parking space is 9’ wide and 18’ long. Remember that SUVs are much larger than a regular automobile and have a larger turning radius.

54. Parking Interface with Hub Considerations in design of garage areas: Back-up space of min 35’ Turning radius of min 17’ Size of vehicles (measure them!) Articulation of parking court Trash receptacles location

55. Parking Interface with Hub Considerations in design of garage areas continued: Areas for planting, in front, behind cars Medallions in paving & banding Drainage & edging “A Personal Parking Garden”
