Currently, there are 124 un-sprinkled, multi-family dwelling units in Gateway Villas located in Gateway Phase 2 Subdivision with only a single point of pedestrian and emergency vehicular traffic. Exceeding 100 un-sprinkled, multi-family dwelling units requires a second remote fire access road. Based on our discussions, the City will now issue Development Permits for full Site Plan on Phase 4 and to construct the secondary fire access to Phase 2. Additionally, the City will issue slab only permits for Phase 4. The secondary fire access will also serve a future phase of Villas north of the detention pond referred to as Phase 5. Full Building Permits for Phase 4 may be issued, provided that you: 1. Construct a 26 ft wide fire access road with adequate turning radii for ladder fire truck. In general, this pavement should be constructed to a semi-permanent standard. The Fire Marshall must acknowledge the construction is adequate, and he will allow a temporary limestone rock surface understanding that the road will have asphalt placed with Phase 5. If the semi-permanent surface is used, the six- inch curb is not required, and these areas must be gated or protected from public usage and signed for emergency access only. 2. Provide an engineer's as-built certification that the fire access road and underlying berm is structurally adequate to maintain a 75,000 lb fire truck. It is suggested to have a geotechnical analysis of the soils and the existing or required compaction effort necessary to achieve this. 3. Acknowledge that future Site Plan modifications to Phase 2 will be necessary to the existing Gateway Villas (Phase 2) Site Plan (i.e. number of parking spaces, required end islands, relocated dumpsters, revised landscaping, etc.). The modified Site Plan for Phase 2 will be required with the Phase 5 Site Plan and the associated Phase 2 site improvements will be required for Phase 5 Certificate of Occupancy. Additionally, when Phase 5 is constructed, this Semi-Permanent All- Weather Surface fire access drive must be removed or reworked to meet the Permanent All-Weather Pavement standards including curbing and either asphalt or concrete. Note that full Building Permits always require the associated waterlines/hydrants be constructed, accepted and active and that there is adequate drive surface for fire trucks. Slab only permits may be considered by the Building Official prior to full Building Permit to also aid in project scheduling. Please let us know how you would like to proceed.
