(A) Guard houses, access control gates and cross arms may be constructed within a “private street reserve”. All restricted access entrances must be manned 24 hours every day, or provided with an alternative means of ensuring access to the subdivision by the city, U.S. Postal Service, government employees in pursuit of the official duties, and other utility service providers with appropriate identification. Alternate access must be approved by Fire, Building Inspection and Police Departments.
(B) Residential access gates shall be maintained in accordance with standards approved by the Fire, Building Inspection and Police Departments to ensure continuous and unimpeded ingress and egress by emergency vehicles at all times. If the association fails to maintain reliable access as required to allow city services, the city may enter the subdivision and remove any gate or device that is a barrier to access at the sole expense of the association, as provided for in the association documents.
(C) The subdivision shall provide a minimum of two points of access, one of which may be used for emergency access only as approved by the Fire Department.
