Compare the Preliminary Site Plan to the Final Site Plan The Washtenaw Community College Health &Fitness Center-Preliminary Site plan, consists of Architectural sheets including: title sheet, site plan, master plan, site analysis plan, first floor plan, second floor plan, and elevation sheet. It also consists of civil sheets, including: topographical survey, preliminary areawide stormwater drainage map, preliminary grading plan, pond calculation and outlet structure detail, and two preliminary utility plans; based on the sheet index on the cover page of preliminary site plan. Among these sheets, the second floor map, and elevation sheets are missing from architectural sheets. And the preliminary areawide stormwater drainage map, and one of the preliminary utility plans from civil sheets are missing as well."
And The Washtenaw Community College Health &Fitness Center-Final Site plan, consists of architectural sheets, including: title sheet, site plan, master plan, site details, landscape plan, landscape details, first floor plan, second floor plan, elevation, and, photometric sheet. It also consists of Civil sheets, including: Parcel la topographical survey, removal plan, grading and soil erosion control plan, areawide stormwater drainage map, drainage area plan, two utility plans, pond calculations and outlet structure details, three storm sewer plan and profile sheets, two water main plan and profile sheets, two sanitary force main plan and profile sheets, and, two detail sheets. From architectural sheets, the first and second floor plans, elevation, and photometric sheets are missing. In addition, all the civil sheets except the parcel 1a topographical survey, are missing. By comparing the two preliminary and final site plans, we can consider the preliminary site plan as a plan that is more general which provides less detailed information regarding the proposed development than the final site plan does. It seems that the applicant (Washtenaw Community College) combined the two preliminary and final site plan in one application since the issue date of both plans is October 10, 2005.
"What has changed “
“The shape and number of proposed parking lot has changed in the final plan. the parking spaces has decreased from 356 space in Preliminary site plan into 348 space in the final site plan. but it did not limit the impervious area of the site plan which is 22.80% of the total gross area in both preliminary and final site plans. The shape of the proposed building has changed in the final plan. The shape of traffic intersection between entrance drive and East Hiron River Drive has changed. The final site plan proposed setbacks in right of way. The shape, width and length of drive ways and trails has changed in some places. Recommendations I would recommend having a comprehensive and more detailed site analysis plan within the preliminary site p.
