With 73 units of Assisted Living, the code guideline above would require a total of thirty-seven (37) bicycle parking spaces. We understand that the code was written to generally address the needs of facilities where able-bodied individuals would need equitable access to safe spaces to secure their bicycles. However, the very nature of Assisted Living Facilities like Chateau Valley Center is to care for residents that are no longer physically or mentally able to participate in the level of physical activity that would enable them to have a bicycle that would need to be secured on-site. We realize, however, that employees of the Chateau Valley Center may occasionally desire to commute to work via bicycle. At our sister location, Chateau Bothell Landing, a “wave” bicycle rack is installed that parks seven (7) bicycles. This rack has proven sufficient bicycle parking for the (260) residential units and (154) staff members. The Chateau Valley Center Expansion anticipates having 9 employees on-site at peak shift change, and we propose to install a similar “wave” bicycle rack that holds six (6) bicycles inside the parking garage and an exterior bicycle rack with a minimum of four (4) spaces. These ten (10) spaces to secure bicycles should be more than adequate for employees and visitors use. The proposed bicycle parking spaces will be designed by a licensed architect and will be installed per the approved plans by a licensed General Contractor. Please see the following page for a diagram of the proposed locations and cutsheet of proposed rack as a basis of design.

Installing Into a New Sidewalk Step 1 Place corrosion resistant sleeve (min. 4” inside diameter in sand pour bed in exact location where rack will be installed. Make sure top of sleeve is at same level as desired finished concrete surface. Fill sleeve with sand to keep it in place and prevent it from filing with concrete.

Pour in epoxy grout and allow to set. Install Tip An easy way to brace the Wave Rack while the grout sets is to bolt two 1x4” boards together at one end and clamp them onto the legs of the rack like a clothes pin. Placing 2x4 blocks under the bottom curves will help to set the correct height. 1-800-689-9078 www.BicycleParkingRacks.com Made in U.S.A Rev 5.0 Wave Style Bike Rack Installation Instructions - Surface Mount Tools Needed Tape Measure Marker or Pencil Masonry Drill Bit Drill (Hammer drill recommended) Hammer Wrench or ratchet 9/16” Level Recommended Base Material Solid concrete is the best base material for installation.
