Lots of good suggestions in the other posts.

Oh, and build it higher than the surrounding terrain so the site sheds rain.

Good points. Since I live outside the city limits the tax rates are different for Ag buildings versus housing. I will check that out.
I will have a stub up for water and maybe run it later if I need it.
