Thanks, this makes much sense.
- I will update the proposal to use the key covered instead of
different values for the type of storage
- I will also change car to vehicle covering caravans, boats, etc. as
well
- I agree that amenity or shop would be better that parking as the
typical characteristics differ from a regular parking and you would not
choose for the facility if you look for long time parking at an airport:
- Storing and retrieving is often by appointment only ( a few days in
advance)
- Focus is on best capacity use, not on easy access: you may not be
allowed to park your vehicle yourself and it may be needed to move 5
vehicles before yours can be reached
- Oten additional services are provided: disconnecting and connecting
batteries, monthly starting, small service jobs
- Amenity is better than shop: most shops are not delivering a service,
but goods only; this is comparable with other types of parking
Regards,
Jan van Bekkum
