- Ease of access and proximity to service area. Avoid creating traffic headaches; minimize travel distance to and from the service area.
- Size of parcel. Is there room to grow?
- Availability of utilities. Are water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, electric power and natural gas readily available?
- Easements. Look for a site with no traversing easements. Easements can dictate undesirable design decisions and reduce operating efficiency.
- Topography. Terrain should be level. Money spent on altering grade is money not available for the facility.
- Neighborhood/environmental concerns. Preview compatibility of adjacent land uses with the impact created by the possible new maintenance facility (noise, traffic, fumes, etc.).
- Obtainability. Will the process of acquiring the land be too time consuming and expensive.
