FLAKE COUNTY FIRE WARDEN Paul A. Williams Director of Environmental Services City of Palm Desert 45-275 Prickly Pear Lane Palm Desert, Ca. 92260 Reference: Tentative Tract Number 5564 P.O. BOX 248 210 WEST SAN JACINTO STREET PERRIS, CALIFORNIA 92370 TELEPHONE (714) 657-3183 Tri-Cities Fire Marshal 70-800 Highway 111 Rancho Mirage, Ca. 92270 Dear Paul, As I have said many times in the past, the Ironwood Country Club is without adequate fire protection. The long response times from our existing Palm Desert Fire Station will cause fires that would normally be small to grow in size prior to fire depart- ment arrival, causing more damage and posing a greater risk to human life. It is my opinion that we cannot allow the area south of Haystack Road to continue it's rapid rate of growth without providing additional fire/rescue protection. How- ever, if the Palm Desert City Planning Commission decides to allow continued develop- ment in this area, the following conditions shall be met: 1. Install a water system capable of delivering 2000 GPM fire flow from any fire hydrant for a two hour duration in addition to domestic supply. The computation shall be based upon a minimum of 20 psi residual operating pressure in the supply main from which the flow is measured at the time of measurement. 2. Install Riverside County super fire hydrants located at each street intersection (a) but not greater than 500 feet apart in any direction. A. Exterior surface of hydrant barrels and heads shall be painted chrome yellow, and the tops and nozzle caps shall be painted green. B. Curbs shall be painted red 15 feet in either direction from each hydrant. 3. Prior to recordation of the final map, the developer shall furnish the original and three (3) copies of the water system plan to the Fire Marshal for review. 4. The water system plan shall be signed by a registered civil engineer and approved by the water company, with the following certification: "I certify that tie design of the water system in Tract No. TT 5564 is in accordance with the require- ments prescribed by the Fire Marshal." Upon approval, the original plan rfTT be returned to the developer. Very tr 1v yours, David L. Flake, Fire Chief S. La Bud Engel, Fire Marshal
