decisions made during alternative plan development should be recorded. Notations made directly on
each of the alternative plans is an effective recording method. These records will be used to compare
and contrast the plans in the selection of a preferred plan.
(4) Alternative Plan Evaluation. Upon completion of the alternative plan, a preferred
alternative can be selected. The alternative plan notations and other records can be used to prepare
a list of pros and cons for each alternative. These evaluations can then be used to compare the
alternatives through the use of a matrix created to compare elements of each alternative plan. Figure
3-6 shows a matrix used to evaluate the alternative plans developed for the guest housing facility.
Within the matrix, values are assigned according to how each alternative meets the requirements,
goals, and objectives of the project facility.
a/ The alternative plan evaluation process requires comparison of conflicting project
demands such as site constraints, ideal solutions, costs, and future expansion needs. The preferred
plan will be the one that best addresses these demands while at the same time meets the project
goals and objectives outlined at the outset of the Site Plan process. The selection of the preferred
plan may require several iterations of alternative plans. The preferred plan may also be a composite
of the most desirable aspects of several or all of the alternatives.
b/ The preferred plan selection process should be reviewed by the following
personnel to evaluate the planning matrix, the assets and liabilities of each alternative plan and the
recommended preferred alternative.
1/ Design team.
2/ Customer.
3/ User.
c/ The review personnel should reach a consensus for selection of the recommended
preferred plan or an alternative solution to the preferred plan. If an alternative solution is selected, the
review personnel should prepare a definitive analysis of the assets and liabilities of the alternative
solution that led to selection over the preferred alternative. The preferred plan must be presented to
and approved by the Installation Commander and the Installation Planning Board as the final step in
the selection process.
(5) Final Site Plan. Preparing a final Site Plan is the result of the alternative plan
evaluation.
(a) Preliminary Site Plan. The preliminary plan will be prepared as a sketch plan.
The Preliminary Site Plan will be presented to the installation review team for review and approval
before the final Site Plan is prepared. The preliminary Site Plan will show the location of all program
elements on the site and indicate land use, circulation, utilities, and access for the site. Figure 3-7
illustrates a typical preliminary Site Plan for the guest housing facility development site.
(b) Final Site Plan. The final Site Plan is prepared from the approved Preliminary
Site Plan. In the final Site Plan, the program elements, land use, circulation, utilities, and access are
developed in more detail. Figure 3-8 depicts a final Site Plan for the facility development site. The
