TO: Mayor, City Council and Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Joseph Silva, Deputy Chief, Fire Prevention
SUBJECT: Tuscany Village PP 03-015
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 ],000 gallons per minute
available for a 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. Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs are required
before combustible construction begins. UFC 901.4.2 & 901.3
3. Acceptance of the water supply for fire protection will be by the Meridian
4. Water Department.
5. Final Approval of the fire hydrant locations shall be by the Meridian Fire
Department.
6. All radii shall be 28' inside and 48' outside radius for all internal roads.
7. The roadways shall be built to Ada County Highway Standards with a minimum street
width of 36'. UFC 902.2.1
8. The proposed 3~3-lot subdivision with an estimated 2.9 residents per household would
have a total estimated population of 1,023 residents at build out. 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 200 and 3800 by the year
2010, this is up from 2069 responses in the year 2000.
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 are 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 phasing plan may require that any roadway greater Phan 150' in length that is not
provided with an outlet shall be required to have a him around.
11. During the phased development of the project, two points of access will have to be
provided to all points of the project serving more than thirty homes
