Prior to beginning any building construction, the Developer shall provide and maintain at all times an accessway to said building or buildings. Such accessway shall be adequate to handle any emergency vehicles or equipment, and the accessway shall be kept open during all phases of construction. Prior to the City allowing combustible material on the site (other than forming material for concrete footings, foundations and/or concrete walls) such accessway shall be improved to a width of at least 20 feet with 4 inches of aggregate base course material compacted according to City Standards and with an 80 foot diameter turnaround at the building end of said accessway. The turnaround is not required if an exit point is provided at the end of the accessway. F. Ground Water 1.
