drives which exceed 30 m (100 ft.) in length. Access should be near the serviced areas:
the receiving area, garbage dumpster/storage (indoor or outdoor), mechanical room,
and service entry, if one is designated. Provide a service vehicle apron and consolidate
service access when possible. Screen or separate the service area from public use or
traffic areas with attractive walls, fences, depressions, berms, and landscaping. Ensure
