LEED Campus Master Site - Individual project and Group project

I'm working on a police firing range and training facility.  We registered it as a LEED campus master site, which is comprised of one individual building and one LEED group project that is made up of three buildings.  In pursuing the LEED campus credit for Bicycle Facilities, we are hitting a few obstacles.  For context, the individual building project is an indoor firing range, and the group building project consist of a regular storage building, an ammunition storage building, and a mess hall.  None of the buildings have indoor bicycle storage spaces (long-term storage), there is only an exterior bike storage rack with enough space for 15 bikes.  Based on the design, all occupants of the campus will have to resort to using those exterior bike storage.  Would GBCI settle for the exterior bike storage rack acting as both short-term and long-term bike storage since visitors and training employees will be using it so long as we can meet the building occupant and visitor requirements?  Based on the only rule LEED provided for group projects, which is to measure the distance between the bicycle storage and farthest building, the distance from any of the buildings (whether individual or group projects) is beyond 100 feet.  Is GBCI flexible with the 100 foot distance requirements knowing that any group site or campus site could realistically have buildings that are more than 100 feet away from a public bicycle storage spot?

Also, the mess hall (part of the group project) have showers in the lockers rooms.  Based on the design, all occupants of the campus (occupants from the group buildings and the indoor firing range) will be using the mess hall for showering and changing.  Will GBCI accept this knowing the occupants from indoor firing range (individual building project) will also be relying on the shower rooms from the mess hall as long as we meet the building occupant requirements?
