Under Test 1 (the individual building test) the analysis considers the distance from the arrival point to the entrance. How is this distance to be measured?
A. Under Test 1 the slope should be measured at ground level from the point of the planned entrance on a straight line to (i) each vehicular or pedestrian arrival point that is within 50 feet of the planned entrance, or (ii) if there are no vehicular or pedestrian arrival points within that specified area, the vehicular or pedestrian arrival point closest to the planned entrance. In the case of sidewalks, the closest point to the entrance will be where a public sidewalk entering the site intersects with the sidewalk to the entrance. In the case of resident parking areas, the closest point to the planned entrance will be measured from the entry point to the parking area that is located closest to the planned entrance. Q. A developer is designing a single nonelevator building with one common entrance to be located in the center of a large piece of property with very hilly terrain. The land immediately around the planned building site is relatively flat; but the grade of the land between
