This department is in receipt of the set of plans for the above-referenced proposal from your office.
The above-reference proposal was reviewed by this office with the International Fire Code [I.F.C.], 2003
Edition and the applicable National Fire Code standards.
The three primary elements reviewed at this stage of review were fire protection water supply and
infrastructure of water mains and fire hydrants, emergency services delivery capacity of the roadways,
and vehicle access, turnarounds and turnouts.
The following constitutes this office's fmdings and determinations based upon the plans of record
submitted.
Findin2s & Determinations:
1. The subdivision lot total exceeds the International Fire Code threshold for the number of egress
provisions and thus requires two [2] separate ingress/egress points. It is found that the proposed
subdivision proposes two separate ingress/egress points to existing public rights of way and thus meets
Code and national standards for same.
2. Fire flow and fire hydrant review for this proposal is derived from the requirements of the Jefferson
County Coordinated Water System Plan, and Jefferson County Department of Community Development,
Fire Code Official policy and methodology.
a. Fire protection water supply should be sized to provide 2-hour duration minimum of a planned
1000 gallons per minute minimum fire flow at 20 psi residual from at least two · [2] simultaneous
flowing fire hydrants, with the stated residual pressure designed above the minimum State
domestic water pressure minimum requirements.
b. Fire hydrants are nonnally required on 500-foot intervals, however, the design of the lot clusters
will require fire hydrants that additionally, "book-end" each cluster of lots.
3. Proposed roadway surface and width standards for emergency services delivery shall bea minimum
of sixteen [16] feet and shoulder widths additional, but shall not be less than Jefferson County standards
for greater width requirements.
4. Intermediate turn-outs provisions [or tenned "bulb-outs} will be required between each lot cluster to
allow for emergency vehicle staging area[s], amongst other more traditional uses, but subjec..lto Fire Code
Official design standards. LUG ITEM
