Sustainable site planning 83
7.1.2 Use aggregate utility corridors.
7.1.3 Consolidate utility corridors along the previously disturbed areas or along new roads, in
order to minimize unnecessary cutting and trenching and to ensure easy maintenance.
Local codes and requirements for water, sewer, and electrical/telecommunication lines
should be considered.
7.1.4 Consolidate services, pedestrian, and automobile paths.
7.2 Compliance
The following documents have to be submitted.
7.2.1 A narrative (maximum 300 words) along with supporting drawings to prove that
road lengths and building footprint are minimized and that all pedestrian roads have
permanent shading.
7.2.2 Site plan (CAD file) showing section of aggregate utility corridor with utility lines.
7.2.3 Site plan (CAD file) showing that all services along with the pedestrian and vehicular
paths are consolidated.
7.3 Appraisal (maximum points – 3)
7.3.1 Demonstrated use of minimization and consolidation of transportation/service corridors
and shading of pedestrian roads, as per clause 7.2.1 (1 point).
7.3.2 Use of aggregate utility corridors, as per clause 7.2.2 (1 point).
7.3.3 Consolidation of utility corridors along the previously disturbed areas or along new roads
in order to minimize unnecessary cutting and trenching and ensure easy maintenance,
as per clause 7.2.3 (1 point).
Methodology
This is a qualitative criterion. Therefore, measures need to be taken to demonstrate compliance with
the criterion. Submit photographs and narratives explaining the various measures taken.
The following steps have to be adhered on in site, in order to comply with appraisal 7.3.1.
# Restrict vehicular access to key drop-off points on site. Minimize the number of such drop-off points.
# Design site in cluster layouts instead of linear layouts. In case of cluster layouts, parking can be
provided outside the clusters and would reduce the travel distances for vehicles on site.
# Provide peripheral movement for the vehicles. Ensure that the road length is minimized.
# Create a common parking lot close to the entrance for visitor parking. Provide alternative means
of transportation within the site for circulation. Use electric and other eco-friendly vehicles.
# Provide road length and hard paved emergency access area only to meet the bye-laws and do
not exceed the requirements.
The following steps have to be adhered in order to comply with appraisal 7.3.2.
# Provide consolidated channels for laying down utilities on site.
The following steps have to be adhered in order to comply with appraisal 7.3.3.
# Align utility corridors along new and existing roads and pedestrian walkways.
