Boulevard and Central Boulevard. This lift station has a relatively small capacity and must be
evaluated to determine if upgrading is required.

FIRE DEPARTMENT REVIEW COMMENTS
Reviewer: John Cunningham / Chief Sargeant
Comments Date: March 12, 2014
Comment:
There are two new fire hydrants proposed at the front entrance of the property on each
side of the access driveway. The North West fire hydrant is in place for use with the
FDC. This fire hydrant needs to be placed so that accessing it will not put personal in
the path of vehicle traffic. The parking space to the East of the FDC needs to be
yellow striped for fire department use only. A second fire hydrant will be required at
the South East corner of the building. This will require you to relocate the South West
hydrant or add another.
Response:
Acknowledged.
