TO: Mayor, City Council & Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Joseph Silva, Deputy Chief, Fire Prevention
SUBJECT: Centers Linder Road Subdivision
The following will be the requirements and/or concerns to provide minimum levels of fire
protection for the proposed project:
1. One and two family dwellings will require afire-flow of 1,000 gallons per
minute available for duration of 2 hours to service the entire project. Fire
hydrants shall be placed an average of 400' apart. 1997 UFC Appendix
III-A
2. Acceptance of the water supply for fire protection will be by the Meridian
Water Department.
3. Final Approval of the fire hydram locations shall, be by the Meridian Fire
Department.
4. All roads shall have a turning radius of 28' inside and 48' outside.
5. Insure that all yet undeveloped parcels are maintained free of combustible
vegetation per section 1103.2.4 of the Uniform Fire Code.
6. Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs are
required before combustible constnaction begins. UFC 901.4.2 & 901.3
7. A minimum of two po'vrts of access will be required for any portion of the
project, which serves more than 50 homes. This may affect future phases of
the project. UFC 902.2.1
8. The proposed 39-lot subdivision with an estimated 2.9 residents per
household would have a total estimated population of 113 residents at build
out. The Meridian Fire Department has experienced 2069 responses in the
year 2000 and 2251 calls for service in 2001. According to a report
completed by Fire & Emergency Services Consulting Group in February of
2000 our requests for service are projected to reach 2800 in the year 2005
and 3800 by the year 2010.
9. The proposed project lies outside the five-minute response zone goal.
Achievement of this goal is subject to budgetary constraints and is intended to
enhance the probability of a favorable outcome on a request for Basic Life
Support. The budget constraints aze typically defined as capital outlay for
facilities that are located within 1.5 miles from a given location and sufficient
operational funds to staff the facilities.
10. The roadways shall be built to Ada County Highway Standazds and shall
have a clear driving surface, available at all times, which is a minimum of
20' wide. UFC 902.2
