A golf club is making a club house from an old existing barn in the middle of the golf course. From the exit/entrance door the circulation route crosses a patio then to a ramp down to a private driveway. There is no site arrival points, no parking, public transportation stop, loading zone, public street or sidewalk.
1.Does this ramp need to meet the code to be accessible or can the accessible route to the entrance start at the patio?
2. There also will be a stairway that goes down a hill behind the building from the patio to a grassy area where golf carts can be parked. Do they need an accessible route also?
I would think no for both. There is no reason for the ramp or starway to be accessible since they do not go to anything accessible and there are no site arrival points that comply with 2009 1104.1.
