Pole Barn & Other Pending Projects

I plan to start on my garden shed within the next couple of weeks, it�s going to be a 24 x 30 pole barn/post & beam structure built using engineered steel trusses with a metal roof. I plan to enclose it with Hardi panels with board/batten to match the house. While I have the trencher rented, I would like to put in stuff for future projects that I plan within the next 1-2 years. Please take a look at the attached pic and tell me where I�m going wrong or things I have completely overlooked. Things on the pic are;

-Power coming from the house to the shed.
-Fiber optic and copper cable for coice & data is a bit much for a garden shed, but I plan to build a 40 x 60 shop just south of this shed in a couple of years, I�ll just extend these on from the shed.
-I plan to aerate the pond this year and have identified 3 each �� poly pipes to the edge of the pond to be extended to the diffusers via weighted line. Is �� overkill or is �� adequate?
-1 each �� poly to take fresh water to the dock.
-I plan to put in some variety of a RAS or grow-out tanks for growing forage. At this point I know very little about it, but I have included a 1� pond water intake and a 2� pond water return. Will this be sufficient?
-110 VAC power for the dock, I plan to build a screened gazebo at the head of the dock (one day) and will need a couple of outlets, lights and ceiling fans.
-I�ve included a �� poly air line for possibly an air lift pump. I THINK the pressure and volume requirements are about the same as that of a diffuser. I can push down a shallow 4� well pretty easy and pump ground water from 15-20�. Since I�ll be running a compressor for aeration, might this be 6-8K gallons of highly oxygenated water per day for almost free? Now tell me where I�m going wrong.
