First of all, thank you very much for all the feedbacks that are sent in private. (I do not so much understand Facebook is open to the public you can give all the feedbacks in public)
Secondly ok I will explain (because quite a few people ask) the corner "Run the world from the car was created as a critique / parody of people who drive a car talking about important issues and deals of money and much and they are so busy that they have no time left so they film themselves between meetings …… ..and okay I will try once a week to come up with a post like this French today also one of the most successful in my opinion.
In today's post we will discuss the issue of parking and their impact on the success of Zunig, and working with an architect and architectural plans
Number of parking spaces and their effect on the number of units in the project.
Zoning approval is subject to approval of a possible number of parking spaces in the property according to a pre-known code of the municipality according to the type of project and its location in the city.
The number of possible parking spaces for the purpose of calculating housing units is not the same number of parking spaces as the number of cars that can actually be put on the lot. There are actual parking lots and there is an accurate calculation (by an engineer or architect or traffic consultant) of a physical space for net parking. This is after calculations of the size of the travel lane inside the parking lot and areas that have been reduced for entering and leaving the parking lot and turning the vehicle in order to get out of the parking lot !! (All over the US there is a ban on getting out of a street parking lot on the way back !!
Some vehicles require a wider key (for example, a disabled vehicle).
Some municipalities require that you leave space for parking a truck, delivery truck or truck in favor of moving house.
There are municipalities that are willing to calculate parking space for smaller vehicles (for example in the case of a parquet size and the number of parking spaces over 20 in New Ivan Hahaha you can start calculating some of the parking spaces for smaller vehicles).
The ratio of parking spaces to housing units in the project varies from city to city and varies in location within the city as well. For example :
Parking ratio per housing unit will vary in the downtown area versus the suburbs (in downtown fewer people own vehicles)
There are municipalities that require 2 parking spaces per housing unit while there are municipalities that will allow 0.5 parking per housing unit and provided that a serious place of bicycle parking is provided.
In general I am not an entrepreneur who takes the answers of my professionals for granted and I test ideas and come up with ideas for professional review. Although I am attentive to them and accept their opinions.
Video 1 Idea for increasing the number of parking spaces
We will refer to a number of halakhic examples in practice:
Are there any differences in the sizes of the parking lots:
In New Ivan in a building with over 20 parking spaces, a ratio of 1 to 7 can be calculated for small vehicles. This means that the size of some of the parking lots will be smaller and will be used for small vehicles.
Building lines:
In a certain building converted from residential offices, the engineer used an existing parking lot beyond the building line (the engineer presented a parking space between the building and the sidewalk). This is allowed in offices but not in residences and the committee rejected the plan (he was also fired immediately.
Parking and apartments Direct treatment:
Video 2 Assessment of the situation for parking in the factory
A factory I bought with Mark in the Boston area of the city called Fitzburg (the factory is right in the middle of a residential neighborhood (attached video number 5)) The factory is 20,800 square meters gross and the zoning committee is willing to approve a change of use from a residential factory in a simple calculation. All 2 parking lots are a housing unit All previous developers came to the committee with 14-16 parking spaces meaning can get 7-8 apartments. (Please note that the deal is not profitable in 7 units. Entrepreneurs tried to get relief on the amount of parking or their size failed)
My partner and I instead of entering through the door (like everyone else) entered through the window.
This is how creative Israelis are and are up to the task. With thinking outside the box we simply bought the neighbor and signed as the owners of the property (the neighbor's house) a lease in front of the factory (now it is ours but will sell to 16 buyers and will be managed by a condo manager). The lease is for 100 years. The lease is on any right to use the entire backyard. We solved the problem and we now have approval for 16 apartments. .
Parking and snow
There was a problem with the snow removal of the compound (the neighbors were bothered that we would turn the snow into a street and block it) Our engineer allocated a "corner" in favor of collecting the snow, the Zonig committee argued that the place would not be enough and needed to be enlarged. Losing 2 parking spaces means laminating a housing unit. Here we came with an amazing flash that the committee really liked
We suggested inserting into the asphalt in the designated area heaters that will melt the snow and add a heater (outdoor stove) that will melt the snow. We made calculations of the amount of snow melted per hour and the amount of snow that would pile up in an average storm.

Working with the architect at the planning stage.
One of the most exciting moments in the initiation process is to receive plans from the architect (or designer). This is definitely a stage of advancing another milestone. I have learned from my experience to cool the enthusiasm that exists in watching and observing architectural plans and to really invest a lot of energy in their study.

First I admit that there are people who find it very easy to understand architectural plans and there are people who find it a little harder to imagine what the property will look like from a drawing.
Here are some tips to help this group. Remember the little yellow man Google Maps How can you take the little man and put him on the map and start seeing the property? Try using this model. Hold the drawing (after you have a copy) with a pencil and just walk in it meter by meter you will see the door the window all the details slowly and occasionally mark V with the pencil on the drawing (I have already imagined this room… this door… this window … What will happen if I lower this wall?)
9. Sample video of before and after (I deliberately chose a regular flip for illustration)
There are also sites (even free ones) that will help you see exactly in three dimensions what your property will look like. By the way, this is also very true for singles and flips (note: the great majority of houses we flip are old and are in an old and different design pattern today than for example a closed kitchen versus an open concept) We will return to sites… ..worth for those who want to spend some time and even a few dollars and use such a site You can also design very easily and use it in choosing colors for the walls (although you should consult with the marketing broker regarding colors there is a significant difference in choosing the desired colors between the different target audiences which are intended for purchase or renting the house (Spaniards, Israelis, Chinese or African Americans will have different preferences).
You can also use clear paper to lay the paper on the drawing and start playing with the changes.
8. Video Planning Apartment Factory Boston
Anyone who has trouble asking for help! No shame! There is no shy seven! (And you have already seen my belly) You can consult a friend or another opinion of another architect. Such decisions will affect the final product and our main goal is that this product will be as good as possible and even I would say good it is not enough we want it excellent.
In large projects after the demolition phase we mark the location of the walls on the floor with paint spray and if we are in a small project (or a project we want to keep the floor then in adhesive tape

Before starting the architectural work one has to decide on a particular concept and act on it. Will the design be of a modern home? Rural ? Who is the target audience? A single couple family? An area where we designate properties for seniors will need the design of wide corridors and a bathroom that will allow a person with a disability (can a wheelchair rotate in the bathtub? Is there access to a shower with such a chair?) To use the property and preferably build the master on the ground floor. If the house is for young couples the master should be on the children's room floor. (It is advisable to insulate poor bedroom by insulating enough inside the walls and outside the dividing wall to design a closet or bathroom on each side) These are small parameters that add more and more small benefits but accumulate in the buyer until the spoon is tilted and he decides to purchase the property. With a little planning thought, you can improve a lot of corners in the property, and you have to patiently go through every corner of the house / drawing before making a final decision.
I try to make decisions based on home use ratio! Want to say: How long have we been in the laundry room? How long in the bedroom (do not sleep)? How much in the living room? Now that it is clear to me this attitude I will try to optimize the property the best area in the house we will design the living room. My concept is almost always open to the kitchen and if there are design limitations (e.g. a studio with only one direction of window) it is clear that today these limitations can be overcome by proper and strong ventilation and plenty of lighting.
I will mention only one important detail. A property that is empty looks smaller than a furnished property even though it sounds upside down. It is difficult to estimate the size of the furniture.
Therefore it is advisable to furnish the property before selling (as already written in the forum) there are companies that rent the necessary equipment ag the tablecloth and vase on the dining table and the cutting board in the kitchen and sculptures in the living room.
Thanks again to everyone
We will try in tomorrow's post to take a look at a work day (which I documented for the post)
