§ 153.1077 GATED SUBDIVISION STREETS.
   Gated streets are subject to the following and § 153.1073 of this chapter.
   (A)   Pavement management. The applicant shall include with the HOA documents a forecast and schedule of street maintenance costs prepared by a professional engineer. A maintenance account with seed money shall be established by the developer to enable the HOA to meet the maintenance schedule until the HOA is self-sufficient. Any HOA requesting that the city acquire their private streets shall produce documentation that the maintenance schedule set forth in the HOA’s original pavement management plan as part of the HOA documents has been followed.
   (B)   Fire lanes. The HOA documents shall require the HOAs to identify and enforce a no-parking restriction in fire lanes throughout the community.
   (C)   Master key security system. A master key security system shall be provided on all gates. The security system shall include the following:
      (1)   A gate override in case of power failure; and
      (2)   A master key provided to the Fire Department, the School District and the Police Department.
   (D)   Queuing. At gated entrances where traffic can queue into public streets, the gates-and-entrances design must provide for sufficient storage capacity such that no queuing vehicles will queue into the public street. The entryway, including the paved surface area lying between the street providing access to the subdivision and the gates, shall include a turning radius of at least 40 feet.
