An existing 36000 sq ft cold storage warehouse on Titletown

An existing 36000 sq ft cold storage warehouse on Titletown, Wisconsin is being renovated into a furniture manufacturing facility. The new building will reuse the existing building and will include a 40000 sq ft addition in order to create office spaces and a product showroom. Due to Titletown\'s extreme winter temperature, the building owners would like to include a designated indoor smoking area for their employees. What are the design criteria for non-residential buildings that include indoor smoking areas, as required by EQ Prerequisite 2, Environmental Tobacco Smoke (ETS) Control (describe it in the context of this warehouse)?

Solution

Proposals for a parking ramp having been defeated, we plan to build a parking lot in the downtown urban renewal section. The cost of land is 200W + 100D, where W is the width along the street and D the depth of the lot in meters. The available width along the street is 100m, while the maximum depth available is 200m. We want to have at least 10,000m2 in the lot. To avoid unsightly lots, the city requires that the longer dimension of any lot be no more than twice the shorter dimension. Formulate the minimum cost design problem.
