I have reviewed the above referenced site plan and have the following comments:
Sheet C-2
1. Aright turn lane should be added to the entrance road for the proposed parking lot. The
entrance into the parking lot should be moved approximately 130 feet west. This will allow
for additional stacking room in the right turn lane.
2. The width of the entrance road should be designed to allow for 4-lanes of traffic including
the right turn Lane. The recommended Lane widths are 2-16 foot Lanes and 2-12 foot lanes.
3. Concrete curb and gutter should be added to the south edge of the pavement at the westerly
entrance into the proposed parking lot. This curb will protect the grass area from traffic
entering the parking lot.
Sheet C-3
1. A hydrant shall be added along the existing north-south driveway that is adjacent to the
proposed parking lot.
2. Bollards shall be installed around the hydrants that are shown in the proposed parking lot.
3. The fire department requires a hydrant to be located near the building standpipe. If the.
standpipe is located in the rear of the building, a hydrant will need to be located in the rear of
the building.

Sheet C-4
1. "Do Not Enter" signs shall be added to the northern access road at CSAH 19.
2. "No Parking, Firelane" signs shall be added along the front of the building.
3. Yellow striping is required around the hydrants in the proposed parking lot.
4. The curb along the front of the building shall be painted yellow.
5. "No Parking Anytime" signs shall be added to the southside of the entrance road.
The fire department has several outstanding issues that need to be addressed. These issues have
previously been sent to the Developer and to the Building Manager. These issues need to be
resolved as part of the second phase plan approval.
One item regarding the first phase that has come to my attention is the location of the standpipe
in the southwest corner of the westerly building. The standpipe has been moved further north,
thereby increasing the distance from a hydrant to the standpipe. Because of this change, a
hydrant should be added in the southwest corner of the westerly building.
Please call me if you have any questions.
