A detailing of the design development and its requirements of the project are set forth in the following section.
2.1 Background
The site location’s address for the design project is 2764 Cedar Avenue - Penticton, British Columbia (see Figure 6). The terrain itself poses challenges for the team that is attributable to the unique steep topography the site location is situated on. 2764 Cedar Avenue is classified as a hillside development and requires adherence to strict guidelines set out by the City of Penticton Bylaws. The location is currently accessed through the existing road of Partridge Drive, and the total site area lies within the city limits. The utility right-of-way extends from the proposed site location and ties into the existing neighbouring network located on Redwood Drive (see Figure 7). The site location consists of 1.70 ha, and it is found positioned amongst Lake Okanagan and Skaha Lake.
Figure 7: Development Boundary of 2764 Cedar Avenue (Google Earth, 2015) The adjacent area of the site location is surrounded by vacant hillside areas extending to the east. To the north, south, and west sides, there are already existing single-family residential neighbourhoods. Approximately 20% of the …show more content…
In association with Ecora Engineering, the team will undertake to design a plan of a single-family hillside cluster development endeavouring to maximize lot yield while minimizing any ecological footprint and environmental impacts. The team’s objective of the final design report consists of providing a clear and concise representation of the designs of the lot layout, road right-of-way, grading, and all underground utilities including the water distribution, storm collection, and sanitary collection systems as well as a final construction cost
