(1) ADP Site Analysis. The area site analysis includes verifying and recording
collected data in a series of maps, charts and text that document all existing conditions, both
within and outside the area. This information provides a basis for the evaluation of the impacts
that the existing conditions will have on-site development. All collected data and analysis
results should be well documented. The analysis will be accomplished by overlaying the
topographic map with transparencies of soils, hydrology and vegetation maps to define the
natural conditions of the site. All manmade elements such as buildings, roadways, and utility
lines should be overlaid on the natural conditions. This series of maps define the development
potential of the area. During the analysis, it is important to understand the impacts various
elements can have on the area. It is also important to know how these elements interrelate
and are impacted by one another. The following elements should be evaluated:
(a) Off-Site Conditions. An area development is influenced by factors adjacent
to the site. Both existing conditions and future development should be considered. The
following elements should be evaluated for potential impacts and especially potential
connections with the area development.
1/ Land Use. Surrounding land use should be recorded and the land use
category verified (see figure 2-4).
2/ Transportation. All existing and proposed vehicular transportation
systems to and around the area should be located and evaluated for their hierarchy and
current operating capacity. Primary and secondary roadways should be examined to
determine access points, traffic loads and vehicular safety requirements. All parking areas
should be recorded. Bus routes and loading zones should be identified (see figure 2-5). A
Site Traffic Impact Analysis for the area may be prepared.
3/ Utilities. All primary utilities and utility lines should be located and the size
of the lines, capacities of generation, and current and projected utilization identified (see figure
2-6). The utilities include:
a/ Water system with locations of fire hydrants.
b/ Sanitary sewer system.
c/ Storm drainage system and drainage basin with invert elevations.
d/ Electrical, gas, and steam systems.
e/ Telephone system.
f/ Other types of communication systems or specialized utility systems.
4/ Environmental Conditions and Hazards. All areas or conditions of
environmental concern near the area should be recorded. AR 200-2 and AR 415-15 provide
further guidance on assessing environmental conditions.
