In simple words, as site plan is a drawing on
a large scale that allows you to view the entire site for a proposed or
existing development program. A site plan is drawn up after the site has been
properly investigated, and a site survey has been conducted.
Why Do You Need a Site Plan?
● Property Lines - one of the basic things a
professional site plan will include is property lines. As this helps you in
setting up a proper design. This helps in making sure that the vision you have
for your property doesn't cause any entanglements with your neighbors., and sits perfectly in place.
● Proposed and Existing Conditions - you will
need a complete professional site plan to help show the city officials what you
plan on doing, and how you plan to design the space. Omland & Osterkorn will help to ensure
that there are no issues with the city once you start building.
● Distance - a site plan will allow you and
others to see the distance between your property and other properties, along
with the distance between the buildings.
● Parking - is a main concern when it comes to
building, as it will not matter if it is a commercial setting or a personal
one, you will need to allot parking space.
● Driveway - the local government has laid down
a number of codes when it comes to driveways, and these codes need to be met.

to maintain those codes.
● Surrounding - with the helps of a site plan
you will be able to show the surrounding roads. This will help you and others
see the impact you might have on the traffic load and how it will impact your
neighbors.
● Ground Signs - this will display the signs
that exist on the roads around your property. It will help you tell and explain
how the traffic will flow, especially when you are planning a commercial site.
●
Landscape - is a highly important aspect of a site plan, as
it is related to our ecosystem. You simply cannot cut down trees, and terminate
green areas, which is why showing a landscape area in your site plan will show
that you are being environmentally responsible. As an added bonus, a beautiful landscape adds visual appeal to your site.
