<DIV><FONT size=4 face="Goudy Old Style">The discipline is called site planning or site design. I usually begin with a study of the existing conditions, i.e. topography, foliage/trees, utility access, orientation, neighbor property issues, etc. Do you have an updated survey? Where are you located? A brief meeting on site with a good green professional might be well worth the $.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I am planning a new build of a main house and a garage/apartment, both 30x40. The site is flat. I plan to face the long dimension of both buildings south and have figured the garage should probably be north east of the main house far enough away so as not to block morning sun to the main house. Other than that, I need help designing the vehicle approach, parking, snow removal, and just about everything else with regard to the "best" route for the driveway and other access. I have 2 questions:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1) What discipline is this type of planning called?</DIV>
<DIV>2) Can anyone direct me to resources covering this topic?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have very few site limitations making the blank piece of paper look very intimidating. I figure "greenbuilding" would include this aspect of the project and that there must be some general guidelines somehere.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Bill</DIV>
