Thanks Amy and sorry for the slow response, I've been dealing with my wife's
passing after a long battle with Breast Cancer. I'll get a plumbing plan
together per Chief Baber's recommendation as soon as possible. Thanks for your
help.

Chris & David,
This is the response that I received from James Barber regarding the sprinklers.
As I interpret it, he will not approve the building permit with a driveway over
16% unless other measures are provided, such as a residential sprinkler system.
If you choose to install the system, a plumbing permit application with design
plans can be submitted to our office referencing the Building Permit application
[B200701830SF]
Please let me know if you plan to install the sprinkler system and if you have
any other questions.

Amy,
I do not have authority to require this type of equipment in a single family
residence, however, if Mr. Yordy chooses not to include a residential sprinkler
system after our discussion that is his choice; and one of the many options
available to him. I would like to ensure we have exhausted all options before
allowing new construction where the only access grade is greater than sixteen
percent (16 %), so if his choice is not to include a residential sprinkler, I
would ask what he proposes as an acceptable alternative? I think it is
appropriate to get all the answers from Mr. Yordy before issuing a building
permit with these public safety issues unresolved. Please let me know if you
have
questions.
James

Chief Barber, I just wanted to check with you again to see if you could clarify
this issue for me. We are holding up Mr. Yordy's building permit until it is
determined if a sprinkler system is required. Thank you, Amy Pflaum

Thank you Chief Barber, I do need clarification of one issue - is the
installation of the sprinkler system a requirement of your approval of this
driveway alignment, or simply a recommendation?

All,
I had a discussion with Mr. Yordy several weeks ago regarding this plan and I
have no objection.
Mr. Yordy indicated in our meeting he understood the immediate need for
emergency vehicle access and the difficulty caused by an access road with a
slope of greater than sixteen percent. Because of the anticipated delay we
discussed the installation of a residential sprinkler system as an acceptable
alternative to re- aligning the roadway.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thanks Amy,
I received a bounce back from Chief Barber's email saying he was out of town
until this week. I have a feeling he's digging out from being away. I'll copy
him on this one above.
Also -- can you tell me what the bond is all about? Is this something I have to
pay, and if so, how much is it?
Best regards,
Chris

David & Chris,
I wanted to let you know that I have not yet received written confirmation from
Fire Chief Barber of his approval of the alignment and slope of the proposed
driveway. All other comments have been addressed and a bond amount has been
calculated. Please forward written confirmation from Chief Barber and I can
approve the plans.
Thank you,

Glenn,
Confirming our meeting actions from a few weeks past, please find the revised
erosion control plan with appropriate corrections per Amy's guidance. Please
consider this an approval request for the attached
plan.
As you suggested, I met with Fire Chief Barber (copied above) and discussed the
existing driveway path to the top of the ridge. After review, Chief Barber
agreed that the existing routing was optimal in case of emergency. Though not
required, we also discussed the merits of home fire protection that are
effective insurance for minimal extra cost (around 5K for my home, runs on
domestic hot water).
Chief Barber can you please confirm our conversation so Glenn has it for his
records?
Glenn /Amy -- please let us me know if there is any additional information you
need to move this one forward. There is a chill in the air and we're anxious to
get foundation /shell completed before bad weather. Anything you can do to move
this one through would be very much appreciated.
Best regards,
Chris Yordy
