'1. The existing hYdra~t distance of 570 feet as shown on Plan Sheet C1 of 4-Site Grading/Paving Plan
exceeds the 400 foot maJ<imum distance from the farthest point on Building D per 2004, Springfield Fire
Code50S.q.1. '
" 2. Buildings C and D are approximately 5,040 square feet. Assuming TypeV~B construction (light weight
wood), the required fire flow per SFC Table B105,1. is 2000 gallons per minute. Per Table C1 05.1 this will
" , require.twofire hydrants to be installed. " " " '
There-are a couple of options:
Option A: Provide residential sprinkler systems for Buildings B,C and D meeting the requirements of the.
fire code and the National Fire Protection Association standard NFPA 13R, Standard for the Installation of
Sprinkler Systems in Residential Occupancies up to arid including Four Stories in Height. This would allow
" the us'e of the single existing fire hydrant by reducing water flow requirements to 1500 gallons per minute'
" and extending the fire ~ydrant distance from the farthest point on,a building to 600 feet per 2004 SFC '
. 508:5.1, ex~eption 2. This option eliminated the need to put in two .fire hydrants." .
'"
Option B: Install tWo hydrants on site with a maximum distance'approximately450 feelapari providing a
min.imum 1500 gallons per minute. "', ' '"

The developer will need to compare the costs of the hydrant installations versus';the cost of providing'

If the two fire hydr~lnfinstallation option is chosen, 3 foot clearance shall be maintained around the
circumference of each hydrant per SFC 50S.5.5.' "" " Ii , '
