Exhibit C – Fire <br /> Marian Meadows <br /> <br />Page 2 of 3 <br /> <br /> Residential- Townhouses 3601 sq feet and greater with automatic sprinklers = 1 hour <br />flow duration and 1000 Gallons Per Minute. This is considering a Type V wood-frame <br />construction. <br /> The larger RV storage appears to be a Type IIIA ordinary construction – 20,000 sq ft = <br />2000 x 0.25 (Sprinklers) = 500. (Cannot reduce less than 1000 GPM per IFC). The fire <br />flow would be 1000 GPM for 2 hour flow duration. <br /> 1000 GPM flow rate for 2 hours or 120,000 total water needed for fire suppression. <br /> In reference to your hydrant questions, IFC 507.5.1 allows maximum spacing of 600 <br />feet for the hydrants, since the buildings will be sprinkled. The RV storage building <br />should have a hydrant within 600 feet of it. <br /> <br />The plat of Marian Meadows will not be classified as an IR1 fire zoned area and agrees that the <br />development will be removed from the oversight and regulatory requirements of the Wildland <br />Urban Interface Code exclusive of the 4 large lot tracts residing east of the BPA Powerlines and <br />on the slopes of Easton Ridge. <br /> <br />With the approval of Marian Meadows, the fire Districts tax base will increase by upward of $50 <br />million at buildout. Immediate increases will come with platted lots and as homes are placed, an <br />added tax base will be realized. <br /> <br />30.2.1 A Fire Management Plan as approved by the Kittitas County Fire Marshal shall be <br />developed and implemented. The Plat of Marian Meadows Estates will include and enforce the <br />attached Marian Meadows Fire Protections Plan. This will be included within recorded C C & <br />R’s for the plat. Exhibit C(1) <br /> <br />30.2.2 Fire hydrants shall be included as per fire district design standards. Automatic fire <br />suppression and fire hydrant spacing will be in accordance with Easton Water District and <br />Kittitas County Fire Marshall. Exhibit C(2) <br /> <br />30.2.3 Development shall comply with KCC Title 20 Fire and Life Safety, including the <br />International WUI Code defensible space requirements. With the inclusion of automatic fire <br />suppression, upgrades to the Easton Water District and urban level of water availability which <br />Marian Meadows will provide, we request that the Plat be removed from the WUI code <br />regulations with the exception of the 4 large lot tracts east of the BPA distribution lines. <br /> <br />30.2.4 Non-combustible areas immediately adjacent to buildings shall be required. Included <br />provision within the Developments C C & R’s and Fire Prevention Plan will address this. <br /> <br />30.2.5 The FEIS identified public fire education programs, and additional equipment to mitigate <br />Fire and Medical Response impacts associated with the project. Project contribution to these <br />measures is identified in the FEIS. Such contributions can be made a condition of a Development <br />Agreement, with amounts identified appropriate to the 89 unit current proposal. The applicant <br />shall to contact the Kittitas Valley Fire District to determine appropriate mitigation measures. <br />Mitigation measures shall be included in the development agreement. The FEIS was written to <br />address a number of differing density scenarios/tenured conditions with recommendations
