1. The fire flow requirement for a single family home is 1,000 gpm minimum for dwellings up to 3,600 square feet (including garage and basements). If the dwelling exceeds 3,600 square
feet, a minimum of 1,500 gpm fire flow would be required. A minimum of one fire hydrant is required within 300-feet of the proposed buildings and two hydrants if the fire flow goes
up to 1,500 gpm. Existing hydrants appear adequate; the existing hydrants shall be retrofitted with a 5-inch storz fitting as neither has one now. Water availability certificate required
from King County Water District 90.
Fire department apparatus access roadways are adequate as they exist.
