RE: Response Letter #1 for SDP202000022 Cooke Warehouse (1620 Quail Run)
Dear Shawn,
Thank you for your review of the Major Site Plan Amendment request for Cooke Warehouse (1620 Quail
Run). This letter contains responses to County comments dated April 21, 2020. Our responses are as
follows:
1. Provide an ISO needed fire flow calculation for the structure to include the existing structure and
the addition.
Acknowledged, the required Fire Flow is 1500 GPM
2. A knox box is required if one is not already in place on the existing structure. Please add a note
indicating the requirement and that the location can be coordinated with the fire marshal's office.
Acknowledged, A knox Box is now provided on the North-West side of the building. See
Sheet C3.
3. With the addition the emergency apparatus access is not within 150' of all portions of the
structure. Is there access from an adjacent parcel on existing pavement? Will the building be
sprinklered? This distance can potentially be increased based on certain criteria.
Acknowledged, we have provided emergency apparatus access on the North-West side of
the building. See Sheet C3.
4. Provide a recent fire flow test showing available fire flow currently available.
Acknowledged, attached to this response letter is the fire flow test provided by ACSA.
If you have any questions or concerns about these revisions, please feel free to contact me at
