(Building 6, although probably further away than Buildings 5 and 7, is only a <br />duplex. As a 2-family dwelling, it's maximum distance allowed in the fire code is 600 feet per EFC <br />507.5.1, Exception 1). A couple of options: <br />1. Provide afire hydrant within the maximum distance, or <br />2. Install an approved automatic sprinkler system in accordance with NFPA 13, NFPA 13R or <br />NFPA 13D per EFC 507.5.1, Exception 2. This will increase the maximum allowable distance <br />to 600 feet. <br />The cover sheet notes that a 2 hour fire wall will be between townhomes or a 1 hour wall with fire <br />sprinklers per NFPA 13D meeting Oregon Residential Specialty Code (ORSC) R302.2. Most likely <br />this will be the route chosen by the customer for Buildings 5 and 7. <br />\s discussed last March with Bill, the minimum required fire flow for this development is 1,500 gpm at <br />20 psi residual pressure. This will require upgrading the existing water system to adequately serve <br />this development. <br />Gilbert R.
