TO: Mayor, City Council & Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Joseph Silva, Deputy Chief, Fire Prevention
SUBJECT: Parkway Subdivision PP 03-022- Revised
The following will be the requirements and/or concerns to provide minimum levels of fire
protection for the proposed project:
1. That afire-flow of 1,000 gallons per minute be available to service the entire project.
Fire hydrants shall be placed an average of 500' apart.
2. Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs are required
before combustible construction begins.
3. Acceptance of water supply for fire protection is contingent upon acceptance of the
water system by the City of Meridian for water quality.
4. All radii shall be 28' inside and 48' outside radius.
5. 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.
6. 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, this is up from 2069 responses in the year 2000.
