PLANNING GUIDELINES
DG 1110-3-112 May 1979
2-3 PLANNING REQUISITES AND DOCUMENTATION (cont'd)
must be established and documented along with the requirements of the site and future interior
furnishings. This is the responsibility of the installation although assistance (using installation funds)
may be obtained from the design agency if needed.
a. PROJECT DEVELOPMENT BROCHURES (PDB). Documentation is accomplished by first
preparing a PDB as required by AR 415-20 and discussed in TM 5-800-3. Project requirements will be
established in conjunction with the procedures and criteria in this guide.
b. DD FORM 1391 (MILITARY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT DATA). Preparation of DD Form
1391, with detailed justification paragraphs, is discussed in AR 415-15. Preparation of this form should
be supported by the PDB previously prepared. All data entered on the DD Form 1391 must be carefully
considered since project design must adhere to the requirements and estimates established thereon,
as approved by HQDA. In preparing DD Form 1391, "DG 1110-3-112" should be entered under
2-4 ANALYZING THE SITE
a. APPROVED GENERAL SITE PLAN. The site of the ACES Center must conform to the general
site plan approved as part of the master plan of the installation. If the facility is not shown on the master
plan, or if the shown location does not meet the current performance requirements of the using activity,
--
then a new location must be selected and approval obtained in accordance with AR 210-20, Master
Planning for Permanent Army Installations. Location is generally determined in response to the
following factors.
(1) Central to the installation and close to library facilities for convenience of students and staff.
(2) Ready access from the main installation entrance for use by off-base personnel.
(3) Closer to enlisted than to officers' quarters since many enlisted may not have access to
automobiles.
(4) Relatively quiet and uncontested area conducive to study.
(5) Soil characteristics and drainage to allow economical construction and siting.
(6) Sufficient real estate on site to permit buildings, parking, outdoor teaching areas related to
vocational-training shops, access by service vehicles, and sufficient space for building expansion.
(7) Proximity to existing or planned non-ACES spaces which are usable for ACES functions, e.g.,
Arts and Crafts and Auto Crafts Centers.
(8) Proximity to dining facilities and other service facilities.
