NEW YORK CITY COLLEGE OF TECHNOLOGY

DEPARTMENT OF CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT AND CIVIL ENGINEERING

CMCE 4410, E066: LAND DEVELOPMENT AND DESIGN

TERM PROJECT SPRING 2020

Project Issued: Thursday, March 5, 2020

Project Due No Later Than: Thursday, May 14, 2020

You are a developer seeking an opportunity to utilize an area where you can build your developmental

dream. You come across the area in upstate NY in the attached map and it sparks your interest. It has two

roads, (Route A and Route B) each starting at points of access on Point 1 on North Road & both end at

Point A on Southwest Road. (See attached map and a larger figure at the end of this package).

Between Routes A & B that have been constructed for whatever reason in the past is a reservation that

cannot be touched. Note that the area is not flat as can be seen from the contours.

You are permitted by the county to develop the area within the 4 boundaries of the map. You have the

freedom to develop the area as you see fit to satisfy a demand you are aware of and which would be

profitable for your company. You must abide by all codes.

1. State what you feel you need to do to determine how your development would impact the area and how the area would influence your development.

2. Describe your perceived development. Your development must observe all environmental statutes, Sustainability of the area must be a compelling consideration for our strict compliance.

3. Determine the areas where your development can take place with reasonable earthwork requirements. 4. Consider water supply, sewerage disposal, electricity, cable, and telephone service in your list of

requirements.

5. Select the kind of development you wish to pursue (residential, commercial, entertainment/amusement etc.).

6. Determine and outline what studies and explorations you should carry out to conduct the development of your choice.

7. Plot your layouts on the map, indicating what they are. 8. Show where access roads have to be constructed, (to include cul-de-sacs,) to get persons to the

respective units.

9. Consider that your development must be self-contained if it will be mainly for residential purposes. 10. The map shows no adjacent support for human services; hence your area should have a park and play

areas for children. Select where you would locate these.

Consider point A to be Station 0+00 and with coordinates N 100, E 150. Design speed is 40 mph and the

True North is vertically upward and parallel to the vertical edge of the map:

NOTE: Roadway gradients must not exceed 6%.

An enlarge map is attached at end for your use. Expand this map to an 11" x 17" size on which you will

plot your development layout.

Your report must be 81/2” X 11” in size, be neatly bound, (not expensive) - stapled reports are fine,

BUT detailed report submission must fit the requirements stated below:

Page 1. Cover Page with report title and name.

Page 2 Contents Page showing the title of the respective page or title continued with page number

Pages 3 to Description of the development to include the usages of the separate portions of your

development

Pages ? to List your survey and investigation activities you need to carry out for this location and which

organizations or sites you may need to go to gather the information.

Pages ? to Any cross-sectional areas you may want show from your examination of the contours to

determine where you can locate sections of your development. Your development does not

have to be flat. It can have character by utilizing the land elevations to place structures. Note

your roads must not be > 6% in gradient

Pages ? to Plot of your development Plan on the map provided

Pages ? to Plot of enlarged sections of your development layout on separate sheets to better explain what

you are doing

Page ? to Conclusion statements.
