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.
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL OF APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR
PARAMOUNT SUBDIVISION BY PARAMOUNT, LLC – PP-03-004 - Page 17
3. Final Approval of the fire hydrant locations shall be by the Meridian Fire
Department. The proposed fire hydrant locations will be submitted to the Public
Works for plan review.
4. All roads and fire lanes shall have a turning radius of 28’ inside and 48’
outside.
5. Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs are required
before combustible construction begins. UFC 901.4.2 & 901.3
6. Two points of access will be required for the project or portions of the project
that serve over 50 homes. This will be a concern the way the project is phased in the
early stages of development.
7. Commercial and office occupancies will require a fire-flow consistent
with the Uniform Fire Code to service the proposed project. Fire hydrants shall
be placed an average of 400’ apart. 1997 UFC Appendix III-A
8. Multi-family residential on the site will require a fire-flow of 1500 GPM
plus the amount required by the fire sprinkler demand.
9. All access roads within the project shall have a clear driving surface with a
minimum
width of 20’ available at all times. Restricted parking on some streets and access
points to fire lanes may be required to maintain a clear emergency access which is
20’ wide. UFC 902.2.2.1
10. The phasing plan may require that any roadway greater than 150’ in length
that is not provided with an outlet shall be required to have a approved turn
around.
11. The proposed 1107 unit subdivision with an estimated 2.9 residents per
household would have a total estimated population of 3,210 residents at build out.
This will generate an estimated 133 calls for service based on historical trends.
The commercial, schools and churches will have an unknown transient population
and will have an unknown impact on Meridian Fire Department call volumes.
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.
12. The proposed project lies on the edge of 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 are typically defined as capital outlay for
RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL OF APPROVAL OF PRELIMINARY PLAT FOR

facilities that are located within 1.5 miles from a given location and sufficient
operational funds to staff the facilities.
13. It is requested that building separations be maintained per the Building
Code in Blocks 32, 33, 34, 35,30, 31, 36, 37 to reduce the possibility of fires
being transmitted from house to house.
