C. There shall be ample room in or near such monitoring facility to allow accurate sampling and composting of samples for analysis. If the monitoring facility is inside the user's fence, accom- modations shall be made to allow access to the same by city personnel, such as a gate secured with a city lock. D. Monitoring facilities shall be pro- vided in accordance with city design standards and specifications whether constructed on public or private property. E.
