If anyone has problems uploading large files (such as the pdf version of your submittal) just upload the jpegs and bring the file on a CD or thumb drive.
Also, since you are all hopefully working in InDesign, check out the info in this link.
InDesign has a way of building up info in its database that creates larger than necessary files. Some of this has to do with how you use the program, some of it is the fault of InDesign. Key concept: do a “Save as” before you export.

Below is an example of the actual code that describes the requirements for the development of the site. It is an incredibly prescriptive code. You are not required to comply fully with this code. You are required to understand it and offer an architecture design student’s interpretation of the code. The requirement of the code creates the necessity to expend design and construction energy at the edges of the site.
From Gainesville, Florida, Code of Ordinances PART II – CODE OF ORDINANCES, Chapter 30 – LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, SECTION 3. – SPECIAL AREA PLAN FOR COLLEGE PARK
