It is our recommendation that this project be denied until such time that a manned
fire station is in service in this area. This project is outside of our 5 minute
response area. A development of this size will cause substantial impact on our
already overtaxed fire protection system. If, however, the project is approved,
the following requirements will apply.
Prior to construction of any of the proposed buildings, the following conditions
must be met:
1. Install a water system capable of delivering 2500 GPM fire flow for a two (2)
hour duration in addition to domestic or other 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 so that no point of any building
is more than 250 feet from a fire hydrant measured along approved vehicular
travel ways.
A. Hydrants shall not be located closer than 25 feet to any building.
B. Exterior surfaces of hydrant barrels and heads shall be painted chrome yellow,
and the tops and nozzle caps shall be painted green.
C. Curbs (if installed), shall be painted red 15 feet in either direction from
each hydrant.
3. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the developer shall furnish the original
and three (3) copies of the water system plan to the Fire Marshal for review.
Upon approval, one copy will be sent to the Building Department, and the origi-
nal will be returned to the developer.
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 the
design of the water system in Case Number DP 09-79 is in accordance with the
requirements prescribed by the Fire Marshal."
5. Prior to delivery of combustible materials to the building site, the required
water system shall be installed, operating and delivering the required flow.

6. The long cul-de-sac in the center of the project must be eliminated or alter-
nate access provided.
7. Increase interior street widths to 36'.
8. Fire flow requirements for the clubhouse will be established at a later date
as detailed plans are received.
