Default NEC 110.26 Panel Location & Reach Ranges?

I am working on a multi family project and need to clarify the intent of NEC 110.26 as it pertains to a dwelling unit with a 100a panel. The panels are shown next to bedroom door, behind behind it when the door is open. I believe this to be a fairly standard practice but the inspector is saying that it can't be located here because of (2005) NEC 110.26. I have read through different commentaries and can't find a valid reason to disallow this location. Also along this vein, is the electrical panel required to fall within the ANSI reach ranges of 15" to 54"?

Your inspector is citing 110.26 in reference to clear working space. 30" is the requirement and it is 90 degrees from the face of the panel. In other words, 30" to the left, right and in front of. Also, no storage is allowed in front of the panel. An open door violates either of those rules.If it's a standard practice I would be surprised. If we put a panel behind a door here, once the inspector arrives, we either move a door or move a panel.
