SUBJECT:
Pugh/Ting Development
1. The preliminary fire flow requirement is 2,000 gpm based on a fully fire sprinklered building. Two fire hydrants are required. One fire hydrant is required within 150-feet of the
proposed building and one hydrant is required within 300-feet. Existing hydrants can be counted toward the requirement as long as they meet current code including 5-inch storz fittings
which it appears they both do. One new hydrant will be required within 50-feet of the fire department connection for the fire sprinkler system. It appears adequate fire flow exists
in this area.
2. Fire mitigation impact fees are currently applicable at the rate of $0.52 per square foot of building area. This fee is payable at time of building permit issuance.
3. Both an approved fire alarm and fire sprinkler system is required throughout the building. Separate plans and permits are required to be submitted to the Renton Fire Department for
review and permitting. Fire alarm system shall be fully addressable and full detection is required. A direct outside door is required to the fire sprinkler riser control room.
4. Fire department apparatus access is adequate.
5. An electronic site plan is required to be submitted to the Renton Fire Department for pre-fire planning purposes prior to occupancy of the building.
