If I was to pick any of the plans to fit your area, I would go with Stein's first two plans. The thing that bothers me about Lance Mindheim's plans is that he usually requires a drop leaf or removable cassette. It doesn't mean that I don't like his ideas, I just see a layout like the Palmetto Spur as 80 inches plus a cassette, I see it as 114 inches or 9.5 feet long. The Docksider Plan doesn't have long enough switching leads. You need at least 30 inches for the drill track aka the switching leads (although the Highland Terminal has alot of nice features.
