Local History:
Subsequently, the state park on Texoma, is named Eisenhower State Park.
Lake Texoma lies partly in Grayson Conty, Texas. Grayson County is in north central Texas and was formed in 1846.
It was formed from Fannin Coonty.
The conty was named after the Republic of Texas Attorney General
Peter W. Grayson.
The Preston
bend area, along the red river, was the first area to be settled.
It was settled by John Hart,
Lohn S. Baker, and William R. Baker who were trappers and traders in 1837. The preston bend area is submerged by Texoma now;the famous chishlom and shawnee trails, over which cattle were driven through Texas and Oklahoma, crossed through this area.
The last
capitol of the old chickasaw nation, established in 1850, is a native Victorian granite building which stands on a hill intoshomingo.
The 34th
president of the United States, Dwight David Eisenhower, was born in Denison on October 14th, 1890.
At the west edge of Kingston
is the camp Leavenworth Marker.
The actual site
of camp Leavenworth is also submerged by Texoma. Durant was settled in 1870 by the Chocktow family. Durant has
some of the early day galleried
residences with high ceilings and big windows that reflect the influence of the old southern plantation townhouses.
These are characteristic
of many fine old southern homes which settlers built up and down the valley, which is now Texoma.

General information on Lake Texoma and Red River: Lake Texoma is located in north central Texas in Grayson county, see map 2. The lake is part of the red river which serves as the natural border between Texas and Oklahoma. Red river is 1,360 miles long and is exceeded in length only by the Rio Grande among rivers associated with Texas. Its original source is water in curry county New Mexico, which is near the west boundary of Texas. The river carved the Palo Duro Canyon of the high plains. As the river leaves the caprock it crosses the 100th meridian and becomes the Texas, Arkansas boundary, then into Arkansas where it swings south to flow through Louisiana. See map 3. The red river is part of the Mississippi draninage basin and at one time emptied all of its water into the Mississippi. Today, much of this drainage is carried to the gulf of Mexico by the atchafalaya river, especially during flood stages.

The largest water conservation project on the red river is lake Texoma, see map3.
It is the largest
lake lying wholly or partly in Texas and the 10th largest reservoir by capacity in the United States. The lakes' capacity is 5,382,000 acre feet, Texas share is 2,722,000 acre feet.
(An acre foot is
enough water to cover one acre to a depth of one foot).
The surface area of the lake, when at
normal level, is 143,000 acres,
the lake has
580 miles of shoreline and is 617 feet above the mean sea level.
Lake Texoma is maintained by the
Denison dam which is located at the 725th mile of the red river and is approximately 5 miles

Lake Texoma is a key element
in the main flood control plan for Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana.

Site Location, Transportation:
The site for the yacht club and residential development is circled on map 6.
The site is
14 miles from Denison and 7 miles from Pottsboro. To get to the site one must take highway 120 north from Pottsboro.
Highway 120 is a two lane
road and is currently being imporved. road provides good access to the site.
this The
existing roads on the site are small two lane roads.
When the club is built a speed limit of
20 m.p.h. could be used to increase safety and prevent conflicts between vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
SO
The Site: The site is located on the Texas owned south shoreline of lake Texoma.
See map 7.
The most
obvious advantages of the site are the natural coves which could serve very convenient protection for boats.
These natural coves
could
be used for harbors, possibly separate ones for sailboats and motorboats, this would eliminate the great expense of building a man made breakeater to protect harbor areas.
The yacht club
will be built in the area circled on site map 7. The residential areas will be located south and west of the club site.
All in all this is a very
good site because it is well protected from storms and is in a good location in relation to the lake.
The islands will also serve protection
to the area as well as provide a convenient place for picincs, etc.

Space Summary Notes As a general rule most spaces should be oriented to take advantage of lake views. It would be optimum for a person, upon entry to the lobby, to be able to look through the club and see the lake.
All
spaces may not
need full height walls for separation and may make use of plants and moveable partitions for intermittent separation.
This would increase
views and give a more open feeling to the club.

(McGran-Hill, New York. ET. AL. 1980). Harold L. differ, A.I.A. Planning the Golf Clubhouse. National Golf foundation, Chicage. 1956. The book, "Planning the Golf Clubhouse" was used because many similarities can be drawn between yacht clubs and traditional country clubs. The main difference is that yacht clubs are oriented aroound sailing and country clubs are oriented toward golf. Interviews: Devane Clarke: Danny McKoy: landing.

Case Studies: This section contains an analysis of the three most prominent yacht clubs in the Dal las/Fort Worth area.
They are. Rush creek yacht club,
Chandlers landing yacht club, and the Fort Worth boat club.
These clubs are pertinent to
my project because they appeal to the same class of people, and operate in the same social, economic, and environmental context.
Conversely, each
club has a different social and recreational atmosphere.
Since yacht clubs are poorly doc-
umented, I was forced to visit these clubs personaly, and rely on my own interpretations and analysis to construct this section.

LOE'S HIGHPOKT YACHT CLUL The purpose of this documentation is to explain what changes have been made to the program and to explain why I made certain decisions throughout the design process. PROGRAM REWUIREMEl\iTS: Initially there have been no changes in the program but my intent has chaiged.
I was originally planning on designing a
cluo for a site previously developed which would have oeen totally hypothetical.
After the Programming was completed, I
met the owner of the site and he expressed a need for this type of facility.
He said further if my solution was pleasing to him,
he would use it to base ideas for a future building.
So now I
am going to aesign under real circ*mstances and create a feasible project for the owner.
Although my intent has changed, the
program requirements have not. \
^
SITE DEVELOPMEI^T; My site is an existing motorboat harbor on Lake Texoma
i
called Loes Hlghport.
I chose this site because at present, it
is the home for over 400 motorboats whose owners could support my proposed private yacht club. /
This site is also well protected
from wave and wind motion on the lake.
The harbour is made up of
two inlets with a peninsula on the outer edge of the lake shore. -^^^^.•1
\
I have chosen this peninsula for the location of the clubhouse for views out towards the lake and to the
harbor
opening.
Also,
this peninsula will keep the club physically separatea from the public facilities like ship's store, ooat ramp, anu marina workshop.
The club is located on this peninsula because it is
well protected during floods.
The pool ana observation tower
are located immediatly southwest of the club to take advantage of views to the haroor entrance, which is where all the boats will be cruising in and out of the harbor. The tennis courts are located north of the cluo and back from the shore as views from the courts are not of primary concern. The parking, lot is located directly behind the club where it does not hinder views to the lake.
A security station will be used
approximately \ miles away from the club on the club drive to allowonly memoers, guests and registered visitors to enter. Landscaping, in the way of wood fences, trees, and earth berms is used to provide aesthetically pleasing physical barriers between the peninsula which is private, and the harbor, which is public. Club members will have access to the club by boat, by way of piers constructed on the outer shoreline of the peninsula to increase convenience.
The inner shoreline of the peninsula will be used
for boathouses oecause it is a very well-protected area.
A
regatta base for the launching and parking of racing sailboats and their trailers will be located on the point of the inner harbor that separated the two inlets. /

The north inlet is presently used to
The south harbor, which is presently under-
developed will be used for sailboats because it is closest to the harobor opening.
Separating power boats and motor boats will
minimize conflicts between crafts traveling at different speeds and courses through the water. BUILDING DESIGN; I have designed this yacht club with three levels for verticpl separation of three different activities and functions.
The lowest
level will house the recreational activities, and the upper level will incorporate! the administrative spaces.
I separated these
activities so they may occur simultaneously without conflicts. The other main design concern of mine was to take advantage of the tremendous views of Lake Texoma.
I orientated all the spaces
which needed views out parallel to the shoreline and I located the spaces that didn't need views behind those just mentioned. \
On the lower level I located the locker room for convenient access to the pool and clup recreational grounds.
/
The lov;er level also
has the mechanical and storage spaces and is partially underground for enery efficiency in heating and cooling.
The multipurpose
room which will be used for banquets, wedding receptions etc. is also on this level so these activities may occur without disturbing
I
the regular social functions of the club. The regular social activities of the club will occur on the main level.
This level is on the same level with the car drop
off and parking areas.
This'allows members to drive up and enter
the building on the level v/here all the main activities are occuring.
The looby will be designed with a high sloped ceiling
and a free standing staircase to give an impressive first acquantance with the club.
The lounge will be located adjacent to
the lobby for direct access.
The dining/bar grill room will be

or simply sit around relaxing and enjoying a
The kitchen is on» this level so service personnel will
not have to use stairs to get to the dining areas. The upper level will house the administrative spaces.
Being
up and away from the social spaces the administrative spaces will provide a quieter v/orking environment.
The co*cktail lounge
is also on this level to provide adults with places to drink without the presence of children. STRUCTURES: I have used a wood structural system because wood fits into ^
•j|
the nautical character of yachting and can be made to look very good.
I have used glue-laminated beams for their superior fire
resistive qualities.
Since the clubhouse will be full of wood
columns and beams, they will be stained dark to give them the
J
most aesthetically pleasing look possible. I have also used concrete for the floors above the mechanical
[
and 4ocker rooms to reduce the risk of
fire and humidity damage.
I have also chosen to insulate the rear wall of the lower level v/ith earth fill to increase energy efficiency. ENCLOSURE: Because views are so important I have used a wide expanse of glass on the south, west, and north sides of the clubhouse. To
shade the glass I have used a wood trellis system that
incorporated colorfull canvas panels.
In the walls where views
are not important I have used a lap in gap rought wood panel system.
The structural system will be exposed and v\/ill separate
the v/ood and glass enclosure elements. MECHANICAL: I have incorporated a low velocity air conditioning system. I will expose blue colored round air ducts of approximately 18" in diameter in the lobby, dining, and multipurpose rooms to enhance the nautical character.
(These round ducts will be
designed to look like theteawwiair intake pipes that are found on oceanliners.)
I will enclose the ducts in all of the other
areas because of economics. ' All ducts v/ill be heavily insulated to decrease sound transmission.
A sprinkler system v/ill also
\
be used for fire protection.
Although the sprinkler Si^'stem will
be exposed in the dining, lobby, and multipurpose roosm, they will be designed to fit in with the nautical character and be colored blue like the air ducts. J
