Subject:SDP 2007 -07 Westhall Phase IV - Minor Amendment
I have received and reviewed the request for modification of the screening provisions for the trash areas on the
Westhall Phase fV site plan amendment. I offer the following comments for your consideration. I can support
the modified design (a 4 (four) foot solid fence topped with a 1 (one) foot lattice as shown as photograph 4 in the
applicant's January 26, 2007 letter). This approval is subject to a condition that the trash receptacles be as shown
in photograph 4. A conventional dumpster would extend above the screening. I recommend that photograph 4
be added as a detail to the site plan for ease of reference.
While the modified screening may be approved the proposed trash areas may not approvable. Section 315.3 of
the 2003 International Fire Code requires that rubbish areas be 10 feet from property lines. This may be reduced
to 3 feet if the containers are less than 6 feet in height. While these containers are less than 6 feet in height the
volume of trash storage is substantial. Therefore, I would not recommend reduction in the setback. This
provision is best addressed by the Fire Rescue Division and I recommend you contact James Barber to determine
if a reduction is appropriate. Two of the areas will not meet the 3 foot setback.

Megan,
As the proposal stands now, the set back distance is ten feet (10 '). The potential is, once approval has been
received and folks start occupying the space, a different (larger) trash collection unit is used. This would change
the setback requirement and therefore, my comment was no objection, but the approval is subject to field
inspection and verification.

James:
In order to approve this plan I need to know now whether they are subject to the 3' setback or the 10' setback. If
you could answer this question, that way they can adjust the plan and get it signed.
3' or 10'?
Thanks
