John,
After reviewing the grading permit for Parcel D Grand Hogback Subdivision assessor's Parcel Number
212724100385, grading permit application, I have the following requirements as far as emergency
access to the future 23 lots.
1. The plans show 2737of roadway that is only 11' wide road that show's to be covered with 4"
of gravel. This roadway does not even enter the last three lots on the plat. This road will not support the
weight of apparatus or allow emergency apparatus to pass another vehicle on any part
of the road. Chapter 5 of the 2015 International Fire Code section 503.1.1 , " approved fire apparatus
access roads shall be provided for everyfacility, building or portion of a building hereafter constructed or
moved into or within the jurisdiction. The fire apparatus access road shall comply with
the requirements of this section and shall extend to within 150' of all portions of the facility". Section
503.2 says "Fire apparatus access roads shall be installed and arranged in accordance
with section 503.2.1 through 503.2.8". 1 will require 20' of roadway excluding
shoulders that will have all weather driving surface designed and maintained to support the imposed
loads of fire apparatus. The roads design shall be engineered to support the road
and signed off by a Civil Engineer. The road design shall be extended through lot 21-a and
Lot 22 to allow for the road to access lot 23. An approved fire apparatus turnaround is required at the end
of the road in lot 22 or 23. Road will be signed " No Parking on Roadway" signage
separation on roadway will be approved by my office.
2. Lot residential homes or buildings shall be designed for fire apparatus access roads at time
of building permit application and approved by this office.
3. Water supply designed for this subdivision shall be in place and storage tank shall be
accessible by fire apparatus before any building permits will be issued.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns on this project.

Orrin,
1
We got the Grading Permit in for the road they built to subdivide the 291 acres in the future.
It's 12' wide with no turn outs and not much of a turnaround area at the end.
If you would give me your comments, IT send a correction letter to the applicant.

John,
The new plans have addressed my concerns for this project, and I am good even with the wording on lot
purchaser's driveway requirements. As far as my concern you can issue them a permit.
Thank You,

Please find resubmittal addressing your January comments. We had a most productive meeting with Fire Chief Moon
and have addressed all his issues.
Attached are: 3 page Construction Plans
Revised Cost Estimate
Revised Easement Document Exhibit A with Hammerhead description
Copy of Book that will be on -site with Construction Stormwater General Permit
Ownership group is applying/obtaining COR 400000, getting Fire Cistern Covenants, Road Group Declaration and Road
Maintenance Agreements executed
(I assume the revised Easement Document Exhibit A will be part of).
Do the CR 237 addresses get assigned at building permit or can I get them prior?
Thank you......
