1. FYI, Fire lines to sprinkle buildings must have PUE to within 5 feet of the building if the back
flow preventer is within the building. Otherwise, a double check valve is needed to end the

Fire Department.
3. With regard to the Fire Flow Analysis, Building "A" requires two hydrants per the discussion
with Steve Smith.

hydrant. These results should be incorporated into a model such as Mike Net or KY Pipe to
extrapolate proposed flows, pressures, velocities, etc.

1. Dumpster enclosure must be a minimum of 12 feet by 12 feet clear from all bollards or other structures.
Since the detail is not to scale, I am unable to determine if the bollard placement meets this requirement.
2. Non-Residential Architectural Review has not been completed because building elevations have not been
submitted. If these will be submitted with the building permit,please be aware, that the building permit
process may be extended for review of the exterior elevations.
3. Show bicycle parking detail as per the Site Design Standards.
