FIGURE 9.17.Parking Lot Site Plan.

In the previous examples, it was assumed that the finish
grade was the point at which the earthwork took place; how-
ever, this is typically not true. In Figure 9.17, the planned
contour lines on the parking lot represent the top of the

asphalt. Therefore, the rough grading will be at an elevation

different from the one shown on the site plan. In this sce-

nario, the elevation for the rough grading needs to be

reduced by the thickness of the asphalt and base material.
