Subject: 113 N Sherwood St subdivision development review
Jim,
I am Randy Everett and spoke to you several weeks ago in follow up to my Conceptual Review on subdividing 113 N
Sherwood St into three lots. 1 have measured the distance from the fire hydrant on the corner of N Sherwood St and
Mountain Ave traveling North along Sherwood Street to the Proposed driveway of the barn lot (200 feet) and turning
west to the front of the barn, another 200 feet for a Total of 400 feet to the front of the barn. The barn measures 40 feet
further into the lot. I will be declaring an emergency vehicle access for the entire 27 feet by 125 feet of the driveway
and will assure the conditions of driveway compaction to the criteria you designated for a 40 ton truck, 14 feet high
clearances etc.
Does this meet with your satisfaction? I would be happy to walk the property with you and answer any questions. Once
you are satisfied would you please notify my conceptual review contact, Clark Mapes, with your approval? He is copied
on this email.
Thanks for your help and consideration. Randy Everett

RE: 113 N Sherwood St subdivision development review
Hello Mr. Everett,
Thank you for the information. I appreciate your diligence and it looks like we're closing in on resolution regarding fire
code concerns. The existing hydrant infrastructure appears to support the creation of a new residence at the rear of the
current property so there only remain issues pertaining to fire access and premise ID to finalize. Based upon your
description below, it seems the issue of fire access will be taken care of with the addition of an Emergency Access
Easement on the property. The EAE will need to conform to minimum specifications outlined below. When you're ready,
I will need to see site plan details of the proposed Emergency Access Easement in order to verify and check that off. I will
also need to see a tentative plan for addressing and way -finding to the rear residence. I've included pertinent code
language below to assist you in that matter as well.
FIRE LANE SPECIFICATIONS
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:
> Shall be designated on the plat as an Emergency Access Easement.
> Maintain the required 20 foot minimum unobstructed width & 14 foot minimum overhead clearance.
> Be designed as an all-weather driving surface capable of supporting 40 tons.
> Be visible by signage, and maintained unobstructed at all times.
International Fire Code 503.2.3, 503.2.4, 503.2.5, 503.3, 503.4 and Appendix D; FCLUC 3.6.2(B)2006 and Local
Amendments.
PREMISE IDENTIFICATION
2012 IFC 505.1: New and existing buildings shall have approved address numbers, building numbers or approved
building identification placed in a position that is plainly legible, visible from the street or road fronting the property, and
posted with a minimum of six-inch numerals on a contrasting background. Where access is by means of a private road
and the building cannot be viewed from the public way, a monument, pole or other sign or means shall be used to
identify the structure.
Please let me know if you have other questions.
Sincerely,
Jim Lynxwiler
