Ab About the Site h Si y
The Double E Ranch is located near Grantville, GA, in Coweta County. y
1700 Allen Road Grantville, GA 30220
y
The 110 acre site is owned byy myy grandfather, Ebb Evans, and has been owned by my family for several generations. It is currently a beef cattle farm with about 30 heads.
y
Cherokee Indians have lived on the property at some point in the past.
y
An old wagon trail connecting the towns of Moreland and Grantville also passed through the site.
y
2
y
Since my family bought the property, it has been used only for agriculture, growing i crops off potatoes, squash, h cotton, corn, soy, sweet potatoes, beans, tomatoes, pine tree timber, and beef cattle. Five streams run through the site and merge with New River.

G idi C Guiding Concept y As I pursue my career in Landscape
14
Architecture, I would eventually like to own my own firm. firm y This site will benefit my business by providing a good location to build my office office, land to start my own plant nursery, and space to demonstrate my design ideas. y The location has access to major roads and railroads. y Coweta County is experiencing rapid growth, giving potential for landscape design clients. clients
P Precedent – d All Allgood d Outdoors O d
15
y
Cla Allgood, my internship employer, built his own Landscape Design/Build Company from the ground up.
y
His business is located in a rural part of Forsyth y County, y, but is near a major j highway that connects him to Atlanta and other suburban areas.
y
Forsyth is a fast-growing county providing the opportunities for development and design clients.
y
He designed and built an office and retail store to sell water and bog plants.
y
On the grounds around his office he designed his own pond, waterfalls, outdoor rooms, and other landscape features that serve as working examples to potential i l clients li ffor the h type off work k he is able to accomplish.

Proposed ponds will be Category II ponds, as in failure of the dams would not risk human life downstream. downstream y

P dA l i Pond Analysis y Ponds should maximize volume and minimize
length of dam for the best size to accommodate cost margin. g y Pond 1: 1.98 acre/feet for 154’ length = 1.2% y Pond 2: 1.32 acre/feet for 128’ length = 1.0% y Pond 3: 4.44 acre/feet for 200’ length = 2.2% y Pond 4: 1.72 acre/feet for 137’ length = 1.2%
y Ponds should be located in the largest watersheds
to be most effective. effective y Pond 1: Located on longest stream, decent watershed area. y Pond 2: Located on longest stream, further down stream and a slightly larger
47
watershed t h d than th P Pond d1 1. y Pond 3: Largest watershed, located on longest stream, but neighboring pond also feeds into it, and large surface area creates more evaporation. y Pond 4: Smallest potential watershed watershed, but would serve mainly to collect runoff irrigation.
P dA l i Pond Analysis y A large pond surface area would take away from
potential land use for nursery space. y Total pond surface area of proposed ponds is 5.09 acres. y Increasing proposed pond sizes would encroach upon potential
nursery land space or property lines.
y 36.97 36 97 possible nursery acres x 1 1.5 5 acre-feet =
55.45 acre/feet maximum pond(s) volume y Total volume of all proposed ponds is 9.46 acre/feet, well under
this maximum. y Additional water supply may be needed from municipal source.
y Which ponds should be disregarded? y Pond 2 has the lowest volume to length ratio. y Pond 4 could be cut if costs run too high.
