exit lanes.  Because of high volume of traffic using the entrances, the width of non-divided entrances should be a minimum of 7.5 meters in width.

4.2                Parking.  Resident, visitor, staff, and service personnel parking should be convenient, safe, and pleasant to use.        Parking should be accessible to persons with disabilities

and should be placed convenient to the building entrance.  Locate and shape parking areas to improve the residential environment. Use land forms such as berms, retention ponds, and tree islands

to separate parking from other functional zones and to buffer the residential area from possible surrounding adverse environment. Provide parking in these amounts:

a)  Automobile parking for recruit barracks and "A" school is optional; permanent and transient at a minimum of 70 percent of residents.

b)  Motorcycle parking for 5 percent of residents. Provide dedicated space with concrete paving and tie-downs.

c)  Bicycle parking for at least 15 percent of residents.  Provide secure, weather protected, conveniently located facilities.

d)  One visitor space per 50 residents (2 percent). e)  Staff parking for each staff member.

f)  Barrier-free parking spaces (e.g., residents, visitors, and staff in accordance with FED-STD-795, Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards (UFAS) and Americans With Disabilities Act Accessibility (ADAAG).  Use the criteria that provides the greatest barrier-free design requirements.

g)  Maintenance parking for service functions. Dedicated space is not required.  Use expected frequency of use

to determine whether dedicated parking is needed.  Locate service access and parking to avoid disturbing residents.
