2. The site plan attached below shows a proposed cottage on a typical residential block of
land. The proposed cottage is single storey and has a side setback requirement of
900mm (i.e. the wall to boundary dimension for the side boundaries).
The house is shown set 900mm from the Southern boundary.
a) Determine if the northern side boundary complies with minimum 900mm setback.
First, determine the length of AB.
Bearing of AC is 210°.
Therefore angle BAC = 210°-180° (straight line) = 30°
Therefore angle BCA = 180° – 90° – 30° = 60° (a triangle adds up to 180°)
3. The second site plan attached below depicts a 20 x 40m block of land with a 5 x 5m
grid shown in dotted lines. The grid is identified west to east with the numerals 1 to 5
and north to south A to I.
The table below gives the ‘spot’ levels taken on the grid points. The levels have been
recorded to the nearest 10mm.
A B C D E F G H I
1 0.00 0.08 0.82 1.08 1.36 1.62 1.84 2.06 2.38
2 0.06 0.53 1.06 1.20 1.48 1.73 1.88 2.21 2.52
3 0.25 1.02 1.18 1.32 1.54 1.81 1.98 2.64 2.53
4 0.52 1.10 1.26 1.45 1.65 1.94 2.15 2.65 2.86
5 0.99 1.22 1.38 1.50 1.80 2.01 2.22 2.38 3.00
Plot the spot levels on the site plan grid and draw the contour lines at an interval of
0.500m intervals.
Answer………You have plotted the spot levels correctly on the grid and also drawn
the contour levels through this grid at intervals of:-0.00, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, 2.00, 2.50,
& 3.00m
