(3/30/2023).
1. To provide fire apparatus access to the building, and due to the width proposed for the gravel travelway, please provide No
Parking -Fire Lane signs on both sides of the entire gravel travelway for the building (this includes ensuring there is no
outside storage that extends into and obstructs the travelway width).

conditions.
3. Please provide a note on the plan indicating the needed fire flow for the building.
4. Please identify in a note on the plan, the water source that is capable of providing the needed fire flow (example: the pond

may need additional improvements.
