**INFORMATION SHEET 3.1** LO3 DRAFT SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN is the outline and measurements of the proposed building and its placement on the property. This shows the position and the location of the building with property line, setbacks, approaches, grade contours, landscape and other pertinent data in relation to the site. A site development plan is drawn using a scale not smaller than 1:200meters. A drawing of a house and a plan Description automatically generated SITE is an area of land available for construction or the lot on which a building is constructed. Building site maybe a single lot, a series of lots, or a subdivision. A lot is a piece of ground of specific size. A subdivision is a large tract of land that is being developed. PLANNING CONSIDERATION IN DEVELOPING THE SITE - Location of a proposed house on the lot. The location of the house must be considered in order to determine the locations of the rooms and the house itself on the lot. Some lots are located on swampy grounds and others on hilly or rugged terrain. Still others are sited near rivers, highways, streets and squatter areas. The front part of the house generally faces the street or away from ugly views like the back parts of neighboring houses, a swampy area, and thick bushes. - Many want their bedrooms to face the sunrise -- which is, on the eastern side of the lot. Others, especially those who work at night, prefer their bedrooms located on the west side. The breeze at the site may determine the location of the living room and toilet or bathrooms. The height of the flood waters in the locality should also be considered in determining the distance of the first floor from the ground. This is especially true in low areas. In high locations the floor may be 20 cm. only from the ground level. - As earlier mentioned the house may be located at the center of the lot. Or one of its sides may be exactly on a lot line or fence. In this case, a firewall which is made of concrete, adobe, and concrete hollow blocks should be constructed on this side of the house. - Like and dislikes of the family member. This factor is usually considered when the family is rich and can afford to pay for the services of an architect or draftsman. Before he designs the house, the architect or draftsman has to first interview the members of the family to get information about their interests, hobbies, and the like. From such interviews, he will get to know whether the family wants a library or study room, a social hall, a playroom, a music room, a swimming pool, a carport or garage, servant's quarters, a driver's room, a landscaped garden, a balcony, and a roof garden. - Property Lines are those lines working outside of the lot area.  - Setback refers to the distance at how far a building can be built within the property lines.

For one-storey wooden or frame house, the height of the floor plan from the ground should not be less than 1.50 m. 2. Walls with window opening should not be less than 2.00 m. from the lot line of fence. In other words, adjacent houses should not be at least 4.00 m. from each other. 3. The front part of a house should not be less than 3.00 m. from the lot line along the street. 4. No windows should be constructed along a wall of a house if this wall is flush with or exactly on the lot line. **INFORMATION SHEET 3.2** LO3 DRAFT SITE DEVELOPMENT PLAN - LOT MENSURATION AND PLOTTING Types of Lot 1. Inside lot Is a lot surrounded on each side by other lots 2. Through lot is a lot having frontage on two public streets or highways 3. Corner lot is a lot with at least two adjacent sides meeting on a corner of two streets. 4. Open lot is a lot bounded on all sides by streets or pathways **Percentage of Lot Occupancy** 1. Every building, except those especially mentioned in the building ordinance, shall be limited in its occupancy. Limitation of Lot Occupancy a. To secure natural light and ventilation b. For better fire protection 2\. Limits of Lot Occupancy Domestic building on inside lot - 70% Domestic building on corner lot - 90% Non-Domestic building on inside lot - 90% Non-domestic building on corner lot - 95% **Measurement of Lot Occupancy** 1. Measurement of lot occupancy shall be taken at ground level 2. Items not included in measurements: a. Court b. Yard c. Light well (Light Well - same as close court only, it has no passages it is used only for illumination and ventilation. Doors are used only for maintenance.)  **Lot Plotting** Protractor is an instrument graduated in angular degrees for measuring and laying out angles. Types of Protractor A diagram of a circle and half circle Description automatically generated Note: It is suggested that diameter of protractor is not less than 4". Bigger protractors are naturally accurate. **Units of Protractor** Full Circle contains 4 quadrants One quadrant - 90 (degrees) One degree -- 60' (minutes) One minute -- 60" (seconds)
