1) Extend the prepared, wheelchair accessible travel -way to the vault toilet.
2) The vault toilet must be handicapped accessible.
3) Indicate the source of water for the office trailer. Buildings must be provided with drinking
water and water for basic sanitation (i.e. hand - washing).
Zoning — Ron Higgins
1) Parking study does not actually state the number of spaces required/needed for the proposed
use. By saying "up to 20 people per use" and providing 30 spaces this exceeds the 120% of
parking maximum. Please provide some additional parking need data to justify /account for a
need for at least 25 spaces in order for the 30 space to comply.
