City Of Meridian
City Clerk Office
TO: Mayor, City Council and Meridian Planning & Zoning Commission
FROM: Joseph Silva, Deputy Chief, Fire Prevention
SUBJECT: Stapleton Subdivision PP 03-019- Revised
The following will be the requirements and/or concerns to provide minimum levels of fire
protection for the proposed project:
One and two family dwellings will require afire-flow of 1,000 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.
2. Operational fire hydrants and temporary or permanent street signs are required
before combustible construction begins.
Acceptance of the water supply for fire protection will be by the Meridian
Water Deparhnent.
4. Final Approval of the fire hydrant locations shall be by the Meridian Fire
Department.
5. All radii shall be 28' inside and 48' outside radius for all internal roads.
6. The roadways shall be built to Ada County Highway Standards with a minimum clear
street width of 20'. All 29' wide streets shall have restricted parking to one side. All
33' wide street sections shall also be posted no parking on one side to prevent
encroachment on the required cleaz width of 20'. UFC 902.2.1
The proposed 40-lot subdivision with an estimated 2.8 residents per household would
have a total estimated population of 115 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 yeaz 2005 and 3800 by the year
2010, this is up from 2069 responses in the year 2000.
'8. The Meridian Fire Department would support the strict application of the International
Building Code for side yard setbacks with no variances. This would limit the potential
fire spread from building to building in those blocks.
