8.5 Service Areas

Training & Open Space

Service areas, such as loading docks and trash dumpsters, should be screened from the views of primary use areas such as entrances, courtyards, gathering areas, streets, and parking lots. 

Service areas should be screened as an enclosure by using walls and landscaping.  Screen walls should be between six and eight feet high and should be in harmony with the adjacent building. 

Trash and garbage collection areas must be located a minimum of 25 meters (82 feet) from troop billeting, family housing areas (containing more than 12 units), and stand-alone retail facilities.  They will be placed a minimum of 10 meters (33 feet) from all other inhabited structures (UFC 4-010-01, Table B-1).
