FW: Willow Lake View Subdivision
Chris,
I had a meeting this morning with Brian Smith about the fire /rescue comments for Willow Lake View Subdivision. He ask
if I could send you an email to update you on comments 1 and 4. After walking the site comments 1 and 4 no longer
apply due to this being an existing road in Willow Lakes.
We talked about adding a new hydrant which will address comment 3 and I'm waiting on the flow test from ACSA which
will address comment 2.
Thank you,

Alex,
I just got off the phone with Robbie Gilmer, Fire /Rescue with Albemarle County, concerning this project. His
comments are as follows.
1. All fire access roads shall have a 20 ft wide unobstructed travelway.
2. Homes 3600 sq ft or less shall have a fire flow of 1000 gpm for one hour.
Can you perform a fire flow test and email it to both he and I? There is a fire hydrant on the left on
Willow Lake Drive just as the new subdivision begins. Thank you.
3. Hydrant spacing shall be every 500 ft per travelway.
We are meeting on site at 8 AM on Thursday to determine the existing distance between hydrants. We
probably don't have this as I believe the ACSA regulations at the time of plan approval and installation
way back when was every 800 LF. If we need to add another fire hydrant, will this be acceptable? This
leads me to the question - should the ACSA revise their regulations to be every 500 LF?
4. Cul -da -sac's shall be 96 ft in diameter FC/FC.
Thanks to all!
