[2/3/10] Although the swale provides some water quaility mitigation by disconnecting
impervious service, it does not provide sufficient water quality treatment. Bio-swales would
be better, but extended detention is the preferred treatment. Bio-swales may be more
expensive and harder to maintain than extended detention and there is sufficient space for
extended detention. Please contact Wes at 416-2418 to discuss.

[2/3/10] The front quarter of the site free releases without water quality treatement. The

WATER SUPPLY
Fire hydrants, where required, must be the type approved by the water district having
jurisdiction and the Fire Department. Hydrant spacing and water flow must meet minimum
requirements based on type of occupancy. Minimum flow and spacing requirements include:
• Commercial, 1,500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced not further than 300 feet to
the building, on 600-foot centers thereafter
• Residential within Urban Growth Area, 1,000 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced
not further than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter
• Residential outside Urban Growth Area, 500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure, spaced
not further than 400 feet to the building, on 800-foot centers thereafter.
These requirements may be modified if buildings are equipped with automatic fire sprinkler
systems.
PLEASE NOTE: You can eliminate the hydrant shown on the far, "west" side of the
structure. The other two hydrants shown on Sheet C200 WILL be required, with a slight
location change for one of them. The FDC would best be located on the south side of the
building, near the hydrant shown off the south corner of the building. However, that south
hydrant should be moved to the other side of the drive aisle, on the landscape peninsula, so
that it's on the same side of the drive as the FDC. That way, an engine can support the
sprinkler system (hydrant and FDC) without blocking the drive and cutting off access to other
apparatus. The hydrant is needed to support the automatic fire sprinkler system. The
second hydrant, shown on the north side of the building, is needed due to the square
footage of the structure. The single, existing hydrant located across the frontage road would
not be adequate to fire fire in a 15,000-SF building.

Number: 27 Created: 2/2/2010
REQUIRED ACCESS
Fire access roads (fire lanes) shall be provided for every facility, building or portion of a
building hereafter constructed or moved into or within the PFA's jurisdiction when any
portion of the facility or any portion of an exterior wall of the first story of the building is
located more than 150 feet from fire apparatus access as measured by an approved route
around the exterior of the building or facility. This fire lane shall be visible by painting and
signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times. A fire lane plan shall be submitted for
approval prior to installation. In addition to the design criteria already contained in relevant
standards and policies, any new fire lane must meet the following general requirements:
❑ Be designed as a flat, hard, all-weather driving surface (asphalt or concrete) capable of
supporting fire apparatus weights. Compacted road base shall be used only for temporary
fire lanes or at construction sites.
❑ Have appropriate maintenance agreements that are legally binding and enforceable.
❑ Be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement.

[1/28/10] According to the Larimer Urban Area Street Standards (LCUASS), no more than
750 sq. ft. may drain across/through a drive entrance measured from behind the ROW line.
It appears that with the current design, must more than 750 sq. ft. is proposed to drain
through both drive entrances. If the grading can not be altered to bring the drainage area
down to below 750 sq. ft. a curb/sidewalk chase will be required. Also, CDOT may also have
a maximum drainage area that may be less than the 750 sq. ft. in LCUASS.
