ROUNTREE GLENN R. BENTLEY P & Z COMMISSION JIM JOHNSON, Chairman KEITH BORUP JIM SHEARER GREG OSLUND. MALCOLM MACCOY REC1 , IVE D 19 M CITY OF 14 Ic It was my pleasure to meet with you today to discuss your project. The following is a reiteration of some of our discussion. 1, The Meridian City/Rural Fire Marshall has determined that with a fire sprinkler system installed in your building a fire flow of 1500 gallons per minute (gpm) is required in Overland Road at a fire hydrant located adjacent to your frontage. When our new City well (# 17) is equipped with a pump and pumphouse our computer generated water system model says we could meet the 1500 gpm requirement. Bids will be opened for this project on January 3, 1997 and I expect the well to be in operation within 60 days thereafter. 2. Fire Marshall Voss has told us that the fire flow requirement for your sprinkler system would be approximately 600 gpm, based on floor area. As you questioned, it needs to be determined whether or not this requirement is for all of your buildings or only the proposed addition. Water assessment for a single family residence inside the city limits is the basis for all assessments and is called an "equivalent residential unit" (ERU). Typically, an ERU can utilize 30 gpm and on this basis your 600 gpm requirement is equivalent to 20 ERU's. The water assessment, by city ordinance, for an ERU inside the city limits is $704.00 and outside the city limits it is 2 x $704.00 or $1408.00. (A photocopy of this part of our ordinance was given to you.) 1-111C 40111"1 14, M E M O R A N D U M to: Mayor & Council Cc: File / Torn Nicholson, Randy Stuart. from: Gary D. Smith, PE'" re: Mountain View Equipment Co. - Water Service date: January 7, 1997 Mayor &. Council: On December 26, 1996 1 Avrote a letter to Mr. Toni Nicholson, part owner of Mountain View Equipment, and outlined what I perceived to be a water assessment cost for a fire sprinkler service to the building addition they are proposing. Subsequent to the v,, iting of that letter I have had two meetings with Mr. Nicholson and have met with his partner, Randy Stuart, and the contractor, Bert Brennan to discuss my proposed assessment. I have also talked to some of our sister- city's, namely Nampa, Caldwell, Kuna, to find out what their procedure is concerning fire sprinkler service. The results of those conversations are: 1. Nampa: A fire line tap fee of $313.00 is charged and the applicant provides all materials. No monthly standby fee is assessed and no other- charges are made for the connection of the fire line. 2. Caldwell: No tap fee is assessed. The city does a live tap at no charge and installs the fire line from the tap to the building. They charge for the fire line installation at the rate of $13.20/lineal foot + fittings. There is no monthly standby fee. from the desk of... 3. Kuna: Thev have no policy for fire sprinkler Gary D. Smith, PE connections. Public Works Director City of Meridian 33 E. Idaho 4. Boise: No information available at the time of Meridian, Idaho 83642 this memo. 208-887-2211 Fax: 208-887-1297 or 208-887-4813 Typically we have not included the fire sprinkler system in the calculations for the water assessment of a building that is being proposed for construction. This proposal was different because the applicant is not requesting to connect the building(s) to our system for domestic use. I would support that they not be required_ to connect for domestic use because of the amount of water they use. In retrospect, an assessment for strictly fire sprinkler protection is probably not warranted. They have agreed to extend the water main in Overland Road to the west boundary of their property and install at least one fire hydrant along their Overland Road frontage. I stand for any questions you may have of me. Regards, Gary.
