Re: Metzger Elementary
Dear Brad,
I have reviewed the submittal for the above named project and have the following comments:
1) FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS ROAD DISTANCE FROM BUILDING AND TURNAROUNDS: Access roads
shall be within 150 feet of all portions of the exterior wall of the first story of the building as measured by an
approved route around the exterior of the building. An approved turnaround is required if the remaining
distance to an approved intersecting roadway, as measured along the fire apparatus access road, is greater
than 150 feet. (UFC Sec. 902.2.1)
Access exceeds the 150 feet maximum standard on the South side of the building. Due to the fact
the building will be provided with a full fire sprinkler system and complete fire alarm system, the Fire
District will accept the current access layout.
2) FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS ROAD EXCEPTION FOR AUTOMATIC SPRINKLER PROTECTION: When
buildings are completely protected with an approved automatic fire sprinkler system, the requirements for
fire apparatus access may be modified as approved by the Chief. (UFC Sec. 902.2.1 Exception 1)
3) FIRE APPARATUS ACCESS ROAD WIDTH AND VERTICAL CLEARANCE: Fire apparatus access roads
shall have an unobstructed width of not less than 20 feet (15 feet for one or two dwelling units and out
buildings), and an unobstructed vertical clearance of not less than 13 feet 6 inches. (UFC Sec. 902.2.2.1)
Where fire apparatus roadways are less than 28 feet wide, "NO PARKING" signs shall be installed on both
sides of the roadway and in turnarounds as needed. Where fire apparatus roadways are more than 28 feet
wide but less than 32 feet wide, "NO PARKING" signs shall be installed on one side of the roadway and in
turnarounds as needed. Where fire apparatus roadways are 32 feet wide or more, parking is not restricted.
(UFC Sec. 902.2.4)
4) PAINTED CURBS: Where required, fire apparatus access roadway curbs shall be painted yellow and
marked "NO PARKING FIRE LANE" at each 25 feet. Lettering shall have a stroke of not less than one inch
•
wide by six inches high. Lettering shall be white on red or black on yellow background. (UFC Sec.
901.4.5.2)
5) SURFACE AND LOAD CAPACITIES: Fire apparatus access roads shall be of an all- weather surface that is
easily distinguishable from the surrounding area and is capable of supporting not less than 12,500 pounds
point load (wheel load) and 50,000 pounds live load (gross vehicle weight). You may need to provide
documentation from a registered engineer that the design will be capable of supporting such loading.
Documentation from a registered engineer that the finished construction is in accordance with the approved
plans or the requirements of the Fire.Code may be requested. (Design criteria on back) (UFC Sec. 902.2.2)
6) TURNING RADIUS: The inside turning,radius and outside turning radius shall be not less than 25 feet and
45 feet respectively, measured from the same center point. (UFC Sec. 902.2.2.3)
7) COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS - REQUIRED FIRE FLOW: The required fire flow for the building shall not
• exceed 3,000 gallons per minute (GPM) or the available GPM in the water delivery system at 20 psi,
whichever is less. A worksheet for calculating the required fire flow is available from the Fire Marshal's
Office-(UFC-Sec- 903 :3)
8) ` COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS - FIRE HYDRANTS: No portion of the exterior of a commercial building shall
be located more than 250 feet from a fire hydrant when measured in an approved manner around the
outside of the building and along an approved fire apparatus access roadway. Any hydrants that are left
over from the minimum number of hydrant calculations may be full filled by hydrants that are up to 500 feet
from any point of the building. The fire Prevention Ordinance has further requirements that need to be used
for acceptance and placement of fire hydrants. (UFC Sec. 903.4.2.1)
The number and distribution of fire hydrants is acceptable as submitted.
9) FIRE HYDRANT DISTANCE FROM AN ACCESS ROAD: Fire hydrants shall be located not more than 15
feet from an approved fire apparatus access roadway. (UFC Sec. 903.4.2.4)
•
10) REFLECTIVE HYDRANT MARKERS: Fire hydrant locations shall be identified by the installation of
reflective markers. The markers shall be blue. They shall be located adjacent and to the side of the
centerline of the access road way that the fire hydrant is located on. In case that there is no center line,
then assume a centerline, and place the reflectors accordingly. (UFC Sec. 901.4.3)
11) FIRE HYDRANT /FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTION: A fire hydrant shall be located within 70 feet of a
fire department connection (FDC). Fire hydrants and FDC's shall be located on the same side of the fire
apparatus access roadway. (UFC Sec. 903.4.2.5) FDC locations shall be approved by the Chief. (1996
Oregon Structural Specialty Code; Sec. 904.1.1)
The submitted plans show two locations for the FDC, one at the parent drop -off area and one at the
bus lane area. Either location is within 70 feet of a fire hydrant and is approved. If fire hydrants are
plumbed from the fire line serving the building, the FDC shall be connected inside the building on
the sprinkler riser, above all control valves.
12) FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTIONS ON BUILDINGS: Fire department connections shall not be located
on the building that is being protected with the exception of Group R, Division 1 Occupancies not over 4
stories in height. (UFC Sec. 903.4.2.5)
13) ACCESS AND FIRE FIGHTING WATER SUPPLY DURING CONSTRUCTION: Approved fire apparatus
access roadways and fire fighting water supplies shall be installed and operational prior to any other
construction on the site or subdivision. (UFC Sec. 8704)
14) KNOX BOX: A Knox Box for building access is required for this building. Please contact the Fire Marshal's
Office for an order form and instructions regarding installation and placement (UFC Sec. 902.4)
Please contact me at (503) 612 -7010 with any additional questions.
