Site Considerations for the Art Gallery
Right now the focus of this gallery is just across the street from the site for the Educational Lodging Facility. The size is roughly 55 feet x 114 feet so a great consideration would be to make the building in a vertical stance. The immediate surrounding buildings include: the public library, the Marfa Hotel and another unknown brick building as seen in the photograph. Currently the site contains no physical obstruction just a parking area and some shading devices for the cars in the parking area. The building does honestly not have to parallel any attributes of the Lodging Facility, but my building (specifically) will attempt to somewhat focus on a path to the site.

UNIFORM BUILDING CODE GENERALIZATIONS
|
The county of Presidio and the city of Marfa use the Uniform Building Code, or the UBC, guidelines in considerations for building codes. These site requirements are taken from the 1997 UBC handbook. Accessible exterior routes shall be provided from public transportation stops, accessible parking and accessible passenger loading zones and public sidewalks to the accessible building entrance they serve. When more than one building or facility is located on a site at least one accessible route shall connect accessible elements facilities and buildings that are on the same site. The accessible route between accessible parking and accessible building entrances shall be the most practical direct route. Slopes of cut surfaces shall be no steeper than is safe for the intended use and shall be no steeper than 1 unit vertical in 2 units or 50% unless otherwise notified by engineer. Cut and fill slopes shall be set back from site boundaries in accordance with this section. Setback dimensions shall be horizontal distances measured perpendicular to the site boundary. Other topics on setback boundaries for cut and fill are discussed from 33143.2-33143.4. Drainage and terracing is discussed from 3315.1-3315.4. A sidewalk of no less than 4 feet wide is required as passageway throughout construction and encouraged to be upgrade according to traffic flow after construction and is encouraged not to be less than 4 feet.
