Site Plan – Existing Conditions Site Plan Requirements Civil Engineering and Architecture Unit 2 –Lesson 2.3 –Residential Design Site Plan – Existing Conditions Topography Topography: The configuration of a surface including its relief and the position of its natural and cultural features. Includes contour lines or land elevations at lot corners, street centerline, driveways, and floor elevations. Contour lines are added to indicate the topography. If the site is fairly flat, elevations of the properties corners can be used in lieu of contour lines. Project Lead The Way, Inc Copyright 2010

Site Plan Requirements Civil Engineering and Architecture Unit 2 –Lesson 2.3 –Residential Design Existing Grade (dashed) Site Plan – Drainage Final Grade (solid) Finish grade Drainage structures Often a site must be re-graded to provide adequate drainage away from the structure and to avoid ponding of water. Notice in this view that the existing grade is shown with a dashed line. The final grade is shown with a solid line. If swales, culverts, or drainage pipes are required, they should also be shown on the site plan. Project Lead The Way, Inc Copyright 2010
