1. RWSA has reviewed the Lochlyn Hill Ph IV Final Plat with the last revision dated 4/11/21 and

Fire/Rescue (Howard Lagomarsino):
Fire apparatus access roads are required for each building. These roads must meet the
following requirements, generally at site plan and road plan phases:
1) Fire apparatus access roads shall extend to within 150 feet (45 720 mm) of all portions of the
facility and/or all portions of the exterior walls of the first story of the buildings as measured by
an approved route around the exterior of the buildings or facility.
2) An emergency/fire vehicle access road/route needs to provide a suitable surface to sustain
the weight of emergency apparatus weighing up to 85,000 Ibs.
4) An emergency/fire vehicle access road/route needs to provide an unobstructed travel way
width of 20 ft. if buildings/structures are under 30 feet tall and 26 ft. if buildings/structures are
over 30 feet tall
5) Emergency/fire vehicle access roads need to be clear of overhead obstructions at 13 ft 6 in.
and below
6) To accommodate fire apparatus, turn radii serving fire apparatus access must be a minimum
of 25 ft.
7) To ensure that parking does not obstruct the emergency apparatus travel way as described
above, any parking must be designed to and/or no parking signs are required to maintain the
required unobstructed travel way widths
8) Any dead-end longer than 150 ft requires an approved turn around for emergency apparatus
Looking at the plat, there appear to be challenges with meeting the distance, width and turn
requirements for lots 149 through 156. These appear on the plat to be attached homes making
reaching all sides of the ground floor from the fire apparatus road challenging which brings the
alley easements into consideration. The easement for their width is adequate, so long as it does
not get reduced below 20 ft travelway, unobstructed, but the cul de sac easement does not
seem adequate for a 96 ft diameter as required.
Please clarify intentions of the alleys and how access to all sides of these lots is obtained in
regards to an appropriate fire apparatus access road.
Inspections (Betty Slough):
1. Add the following note to the general notes page:
a. Retaining walls greater than 3 feet in height require a separate building permit.
Walls exceeding 4 feet in height require a stamped engineered design also.
Walls require inspections as outlined in the USBC.
2. Add the following note to the general notes page:
a. ALL water lines, sewer lines, and fire lines from the main to the structure MUST
have a visual inspection performed by the building department.
3. Add the following note to the general notes page:
a. Where the flood level rims of plumbing fixtures are below the elevation of the
manhole cover of the next upstream manhole in the public sewer, the fixtures
shall be protected by a backwater valve installed in the building drain, branch of
the building drain or horizontal branch serving such fixtures. Plumbing fixtures
having flood level rims above the elevation of the manhole cover of the next
upstream manhole in the public sewer shall not discharge through a backwater
valve.
4. Note to developer: Due to required distances from lot lines and structures as required by
the NFPA, underground propane tanks may be prohibited. Plan accordingly.
E911 (Elise Kiewra):
1. See attached comments dated July 28, 2021. Evans Alley and Ellison Alley road names
need to be changed.
