Exhibit B — Fire Mitigation <br />Marian Meadows <br />➢ The larger RV storage appears to be a Type IIIA ordinary construction — 20,000 sq ft = 2000 x 0.25 <br />(Sprinklers) = 500. (Cannot reduce less than 1000 GPM per IFC). The fire flow would be 1000 GPM for <br />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 feet for the <br />hydrants, since the buildings will be sprinkled. The RV storage building should have a hydrant within 600 <br />feet of it. <br />As each phase of Marian Meadows is platted, ERLC and/or assigns will work with and apply to Kittitas <br />County for redesignation of lot classifications within the Wildland Urban Interface Code using Appendix C <br />of the Code. The redesignation will be noted on the plat and apply to all denoted lots within the final <br />platting. This planning excludes the 4 large lot tracts residing east of the BPA Powerlines. <br />With the approval of Marian Meadows, the Fire District's tax base will increase by upwards of $50 <br />million at buildout. Immediate valuation increases will come with platted lots and as homes are built. <br />The Community will use rural area Firewise and Kittitas County Wildland Urban Interface guidelines. <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 <br />enforce the attached Marian Meadows Fire Prevention Plan. This will be included within <br />recorded CC&R's for the plat. Exhibit B(1) <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 <br />and Kittitas County Fire Marshall. Exhibit B(2) <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 <br />fire suppression, upgrades to the Easton Water District and urban level of water <br />availability, which Marian Meadows will provide, it is currently anticipated that Marian <br />Meadows will apply for exemption from WUI in phases, with the exception of the 4 large <br />lot tracts east of the BPA distribution lines. <br />30.2.4 Non-combustible areas immediately adjacent to buildings shall be required. Included <br />provision within the Development's CC&R's and Fire Prevention Plan will address this. <br />Guidelines will be in accordance with Firewise and WUI codes. <br />30.2.5 The FEIS identified additional equipment to mitigate Fire and Medical Response impacts <br />associated with the project. Project contribution to these measures is identified in the <br />FEIS. Such contributions can be made a condition of a Development Agreement, with <br />amounts identified appropriate to the 89 unit current proposal. The applicant shall contact <br />the Kittitas County Fire District #3 to determine appropriate mitigation measures. <br />Mitigation measures shall be included in the development agreement. The FEIS was <br />written to address a number of differing density scenarios/tenured conditions with <br />recommendations addressing densities upward of 440 plus units. The revised Marian <br />Meadows plat as noted is for a fraction of this density. Please see answer to section 1.2 <br />above as it pertains to mitigation. <br />
