RF,: Trash enclosure comment
#2008-0938 Northcrest Condo, 620 Glen St.
This is a further clarification to the Engineering Review Comments 2 you received from
Jeanie McConnell, regarding the trash enclosure and the fact that relocation of the utility
Dole is likely to interfere with the gate operation for the enclosure.
This is a reminder that if such interference were to happen, the gates will still need to be
able to swing open to a minimum of 110 degrees — basically a foot past 90 degrees. One
solution may be to have the enclosure equipped with only one gate section instead of two.
The support hinges would be on the east side allowing the gate to open away from the
proposed pole location.
Chain-link gates are acceptable within our enclosure policy and generally used for longer
gate sections, with appropriate inserted vinyl slats. If this solution were chosen the gate
would need to be able to swing farther — closer to 180 degrees, in order to be clear of the
alleyway during servicing.
Appropriate securing devices are still required for closed and open gates. Please indicate
resolution in your response to Engineering Review Comments 2.
