Zoning
From the Wells County GIS, the project site is located in a farm zone. As a result, we have filed re-zoning papers with the county at http://wellscounty.org/forms.htm.
Based on occupancy tables and our own estimation of the use, our occupancy load will be 300 people.
Viability Analysis:
1.)Review applicable codes, regulations, and zoning. Are all of the commercial or institutional facilities on your list legally allowable? Is a variance or zoning change necessary in order to obtain a building permit? Note that variances and zoning changes are routinely requested and should not automatically eliminate a commercial activity at this point in project planning. However, if the proposed activity will conflict with surrounding uses, a variance or zoning change may not be granted.
Yes, the idea of a pool parlor/social hangout is legally allowable. To build this, it will need a zoning change to obtain a building permit.
2.) Eliminate project ideas from the list that appear to conflict with codes, regulations, and/or zoning and for which you anticipate a variance or zoning change is unlikely. Your teacher will act as the zoning board in order to approve any zoning variance requests. Select alternate potential commercial projects that you consider to be legally allowed or for which you anticipate a variance or zoning change is feasible (per your teacher). Provide at least three potential project ideas.
There are no changes need.
3.) Make a list of all of the important physical site characteristics that should be considered when choosing a type of facility to be constructed on the site. Examples include availability of utilities, environmental concerns, size and shape of property, location of floodplains and wetlands, etc
Our project will be a mid-sized, simple shaped building. It will require the regular utilities, such as plumbing and electricity No special utilities will be required. There is a reccesion pond already provided in accordance to drainage needs.
4.) Approximate the square footage for each potential project. Then approximate the cost of the facility using the RS Means Quick Cost Estimator at http://www.rsmeans.com/calculator/index.asp?specialUser=FSONL. This site requires registration, but is free. If a specific facility is not listed, choose the facility that most closely resembles the project for which you are creating the estimate.
Our total building square footage will be 15,000. The construction type used will be stone ahlar on concrete block/steel joist. The total cost per square foot will be $146.10 based on the mid range total cost.
Architectural Fees: High-$179,175 Mid-$143,150 Low-$129,150
Contractors overhead and profit: High-$511,875 Mid-$409,500 Low-$368,550
Total Cost: High-$2,739,375 Mid-$2,191,500 Low-$1,972,350
5.) Based on the information previously gathered during your site discovery, site visits, and this activity, create a decision matrix to compare the development choices. The goal of the comparison is to choose a development option. Be sure to include a key that explains your method of comparison.
We decided to choose the pool parlor as our commercial project.
Preliminary Design:
Renderings:
Our team of Steve Grote, Jordan Dickey, and Drew Shively was tasked to propose a commercial building space in the area located a 1254 E Us 224 Ossian, IN, 46777. The commercial project was to be of legal and plausible use for the community and no more than 15,000 sq. ft. It was to include a parking lot, offices, and other facilities. Our team of Architects and engineers decided to propose a Pool Parlor because it would fill the needs of the community and fall within budget. We found that a pool parlor is legally allowable in this area, we just need to file for a zoning change. We decided that this project is an all around good choice for the community.
Site Information:
The property site is located in section 5 of Township 27 N Range 12 E. The area is 5.11 acres and includes a pond. The property is located adjacent to Norwell Middle/ High School.The site is not located in a wetland, and is a typical climate zone for northeast Indiana. Several Maps are listed below:

ADA requirements
ADA accommodations will adhere to chapter 11 of the IBC 2009, especially relating to the entrance ways and restroom facilities. Specifically we are adding a ramp to make entrance into the building simple. We will have wide doors. Also, we will have at least one handicapped restroom available for use.
Occupancy classification and description Assembly Group A.
Assembly Group A occupancy includes, among others, the use of a building or structure, or a portion thereof, for the gathering of persons for purposes such as civic, social or religious functions; recreation, food or drink consumption or awaiting transportation. A-3 Assembly uses intended for worship, recreation or amusement and other assembly uses

A-3 Assembly uses intended for worship, recreation or amusement and other assembly uses
Type of construction
Based on the type of building, we will be building it out of concrete masonry units.
Maximum building size: maximum area, maximum height,maximum number of stories
Based on the building classification and constraints, our building will be 14 feet high and one story tall.
Occupancy load (guess how many people)
Based on occupancy tables and our own estimation of the use, our occupancy load will be 300 people.
Parking requirements
Adhering to ADA codes and occupancy requirements, we will have 75 parking spaces, and 3 accessible parking spaces.

6.) Based on the results of your decision matrix, choose the commercial project that appears to be the best choice for the site. Write a brief viability analysis and project proposal describing the type of commercial facility that your team recommends for the site. Justify your suggestion using the information you have gathered and your decision matrix comparison as evidence.
We decided to do the pool parlor because although it did not score the highest we thought it would be the best to create. We thought the idea of a pool parlor would be more fun and educational than a simple church.

Bubble Diagrams:
Individual Sketches
Final Group Sketch Decision:
Our bubble diagrams were good begging points yet they were sloppy. Next, we moved onto our sketches. Each of us did our own sketch and they all had similarities and differences We all agreed on an open middle and the activities around the outside. We then incorporated steves bridge idea into the master sketch. This met all of our needs for space and convenient flow.
Project Management:
This is our ghant chart that keeps us on track. We found our dates by looking at the example blog and taking the target dates from that.

Engineering Calculations:
Water pressure calculations:
We found that our actual water pressure that we will get is 24.1 psi. The pressure should typically be 40-60 psi, but we have much less. A way to fix this would be to use a pump to increase pressure to the acceptable value. We have such a low value because of the large distance from us to the tower. Typically in this area of town, we would use a well because we are so far away, but we did the calculations anyway to see where we would lie in the world of water pressure.
Storm Water runoff / Pond Size Calculations:
While performing the storm water runoff calculations, we first found the Q-Pre to be 2.31 CFS. We then plugged in the acreage and C-values of the different materials like the parking lot and building. This resulted with us finding the Q-Post value to be 4.60.When we subtracted the Q-Pre from the Q-Post, we got a value of 2.29 CFS, which will be our runoff with the finished project on the site. We are assuming that the recession pond will be enough to address this extra runoff.
Heat Loss/Gain Calculations:
After finding all the correct values and plugging them into the equation, we found our heat loss/gain to be 927.43 BTU per hour.
Beam Calculations:
We are calculating these in accordance to a 16 foot beam that we placed in our structure. We understand that if we were actually constructing this building, we would not use this type of support through beams, but added them anyway so that we may do the calculations.
