lane and there is no parking. Dumpster location should be fine as well. The fire hydrant's location will
work as long as access is maintained year-round, this wil l include any removal of snow in the winter with
a path for the FD to access in the event of an emergenc y. I hope this helps, please let me know if you
have any other questions.

Hi Shane, Just checking in to see if you have had a chance to review the markup attached and confirm that the one fire hydrant on the south will suffice for this project. As a disclaimer, the new dumpster location in the markup is something we’re trying to get input on before we start re-designing. Please additionally advise if the new dumpster location would pose any issues to your operations.

I wanted to reach back out with our markup showing the grade to the hydrant and the required 2nd access gate due to parking concerns. The existing ground south of the property boundary is roughly 14% grade and the proposed grade in the property is ~8.9%. It should be easy walkable access at those grades. I’m curious - has the trail around the softball field historically been the planned access to hydrants 548 & 549? Additionally, I think if we were able to angle the gate on the adjacent property (see attached), it would deter parking as well as ease snow maintenance on the adjacent parking lot. This would help keep the fire access through these properties clear of snow. Lastly, we have been internally discussing bringing the dumpster enclosure to the end of the drive aisle. Would this change give you any pause in regards to accessing the fire hydrant?

We thought we
3were compliant with City & IFC standards with just the fire hydrant along the South end of the site. Providing one along Haggerty could lead to future maintenance issues with flushing as this would be a dead end water line to the hydrant that we would need to get engineering on board with as well. If you could please provide some more clarification on the reasoning behind the requirement for the hydrant, that would be greatly appreciated. As a reminder, each townhouse unit will be separated by a two hour fire wall. Our civil engineer Bobby from Sanbell (CC’d) can speak better to the technical side of things and will be the best person to discuss the fire hydrant with.
