The motel is not within 100 yards of the motel, but it\nmay be within 220 yards.\nThe question is: Should the motel rooms be counted as dwellings units, similar to apartments, or\nas a single building?\nIn Furrow's opinion (emphasis) there is probably a distinction between a dwelling unit, which\nserves as a more permanent place of residence, and a motel room, which is generally occupied for\na short term. He does not feel that the motel room would be classified as a dwelling unit for the\npurposes of the regulations.\nA motel alone would have to be within 100 yards of a pipeline and meet the occupancy\nrequirements of 192.5(d)(2) to establish a class 3 location.\nNOTE: THIS IS AN OPINION, NOT AN INTERPRETATION. IT COULD BE REVERSED.\nDB\nC:\\WP51\\INTERPRT\\192\\5\\89-07-06\n1","truncated":false,"body_characters":993}
