FINAL EXAM REVIEW - SITE CONSIDERATIONS

1) Several site factors affect the design of a house. Among the most important are the neighborhood and access to the lot.

2) In the initial planning of a residence, the neighborhood must be considered.

3) The resale value of a house is determined by the houses in the rest of the neighborhood. a) True b) False

4) To help keep the values of the neighborhood uniform, many areas have architectural control committees.

5) The review boards are made up of residents who determine what may or may not be built.

6) These boards often set standards for minimum square footage, height limitations, and the type and color of siding and roofing materials.

7) Site access can have a major effect on the design of the house.

8) The narrower the lot, the more access will affect the location of the entry and the garage.

9) When a plan is being developed for a corner lot, there is much more flexibility in garage and house placement. a) True b) False

10) At least one main entrance to the house meets one of the following requirements: The main entrance can be no further than 6'-0" behind the longest wall of the house that faces the street. The main entry must face the street, or be at an angle up to 45 degrees.

11) At least 15 percent of the area of the street-facing facade of the home must be windows.

12) The length of the garage wall facing the street may not be greater than 50 percent of the length of the entire façade of the home.

13) A garage wall that faces a street may be no closer to the street property line than the longest street-facing wall of the home.

14) Another popular way to make a neighborhood more livable is to [remove the garage altogether from the front of the site.

15) When a residence is being planned for a rural site, weather and terrain can affect access.

16) Studying weather patterns at the site will help reveal areas of the lot that may be inaccessible during parts of the year because of poor water drainage or drifted snow.

17) The shape of the land will determine where the access to the house can be placed.
