Reviewer Howard Lagomarsino Fire Rescue No Objection
No Objection to the Plat submittal assigned for review on 09/15/2021:
For informational purposes, to help in planning future steps of this project, here are some points of concern for ACFR and
apply as appropriate in reviewing projects to ensure fire compliance:
1) To accommodate emergency/fire vehicle access, emergency vehicle access road(s)/route(s) are required
2) Fire apparatus access roads shall extend to within 150 feet (45 720 mm) of all portions of the facility and 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.
3) An emergency/fire vehicle access road/route needs to provide a suitable surface to sustain the weight of ACFR emergency
apparatus weighing up to 85,000 lbs.
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, as measured to edge of roof
line, not necessarily the peak of the roof.
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 generally 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 maintain the widths of the fire appartus access road travel ways, requiring no parking signs to prevent parking
from obstructing the required travel way widths
8) Any dead-end longer than 150 ft requires an approved turn around for emergency apparatus (cut de sacs are a permissible
turn around design, but minimum diameter is 96 feet).
9) Road grade cannot exceed 10 %
10) Provide a note on the plans of the required ISO fire calculation for the buildings.
11) Indicate on the plan the latest ACSW flow test to ensure adequate fire flow per calculation in comment # 10.
12) Provide the locations of fire hydrants as determined by calculations in # 10, with spacing in accordance with the required
fire flow calculation (This starts at 500 feet and arranged so that no building is more than 250 feet from a hydrant, but the
distances are further reduced as the required fire flow increases).
13) In areas without buildings, then hydrant spacing is required every 1000 ft to accommodate transportation emergencies.
14) If not within the ACSW service area, provide a note identifying location of closest water source suitable for emergency/fire
apparatus operations.
15) Fire suppression, fire alerting systems and other building design features, such as exits, interior finishes, building access
etc., are the purview of the building official and required as directed by that office.
16) If fire suppression systems or standpipes are installed the FDC must face the road, on address side and there needs to be
hydrant within 100 ft. of the FDC, arranged so that when hydrant and FDC are in use for emergency operations, hose does
not obstruct travel way.

Requested Changes
RWSA has reviewed Jarmans Gap plat dated 09/10/21 By Roudabusch and Gale and has the following comments.
General Comments:
RWSA will require a sewer flow acceptance prior to final site plan approval.
The request will need to be sent to us by ACSA and will include the following:
• Estimated average dairy dry weather sewage flow (ADDWF)
• Point of connection into RWSA system (which manhole)
• Number of units/square footage
• Estimated in-service date
Let me know if you have any questions. I believe we mentioned this before but we have no comments otherwise.
Thanks,
