3. Per NCGS 143-214.7, development within a five mile radius of an airport shall not be required to
use stormwater retention ponds, detention ponds or any stormwater control measure (SCM)
that promotes standing water and can attract wildlife including birds. As this development is

Fire Services, David Stone 910-798-7458
I have visited the site recently. Here are my comments:
1. All new structures larger than 7,500 square feet must comply with Section 510 of the NC Fire code.
Emergency Responder Radio Coverage (ERRC) survey must be conducted, and results given to the
Building Safety Fire Plan Reviewer. All buildings that are more than one story, underground,
windowless or buildings with a basement must complete an ERRC survey. (It is highly
recommended that a pre-construction survey be conducted however a pre-construction survey is
not required).
2. Fire apparatus access roads are required at time of construction. They are to be capable of
handling the weight of fire apparatus and be passable in all weather conditions. Fire apparatus
access roads are to be a minimum of 20 feet wide (Chapter 5), unless there are fire hydrants
installed along the roadway then minimum is 26 feet wide (Appendix D). The fire code official may
increase this width as necessary based on potential for fire apparatus response. Dead end roads
greater than 150 feet in length shall require an approved means for fire apparatus to turn around
(Chapter 5 and Appendix D). Fire apparatus access roads shall provide a clear vertical clearance of
14 feet including trees, canopies, bridges, etc. (Chapter 5 requirement is 13 feet 6 inches, however
AHJ requires 14 feet based on local apparatus).
3. Street and road signs are required, temporary signs during construction are acceptable as long as
they are legible and weather resistant. (Chapter 5).
4. Parking shall not be allowed on either side of the above-mentioned roadway. If roadside parking
is desired the minimum road width shall be increased, contact the fire code official for further
information. No Parking signs shall be a minimum of 12 inches wide and 18 inches tall. Commercial
buildings shall have fire lanes marked (Chapter 5)
5. Fire apparatus access roads shall provide access to within 150 feet of each side of the first -floor
exterior walls unless the building is equipped throughout with an approved automatic sprinkler
system then the distance increases to 200 feet (Chapter 5). If these options are not selected,
please contact the fire code official and fire department for guidance.
6. Gates on fire apparatus access roads are discouraged due to the delay in response. If a gated
access is deemed necessary it shall be either staffed with personnel 24 hours per day every day,
365 days of the year or must include KNOX key bypass switch and siren activation (both). (Chapter
5).

7. Traffic calming devices are highly discouraged due to the delay in response. Speed bumps/humps
are prohibited. Requests for other traffic calming devices must be evaluated during the Technical

Water Supply (Chapter 5 and Appendix C)
16. If a water supply is required for fire protection a fire hydrant system or other means approved by
the fire code official must be present prior to beginning construction and be maintained operable
during the construction period. (for construction, fire dept. water shuttle counts as long there is
a fill site within range)
17. If an approved water supply capable of supplying the required fire flow for fire protection is
available fire hydrants shall be provided.
18. If the approved water supply is not capable of supplying the required fire flow for fire protection
a private system shall be engineered to meet the required fire flow for both automatic sprinkler
systems and fire hydrants.
19. Fire Hydrants
20. All fire hydrants shall have a 5 ¼ inch barrel, a 5 ¼ inch valve opening, two 2 ½ inch NST side
discharges and a 5 inch pumper nozzle with a 5 inch STORZ connection. Further information on
the technical specifications is available from the fire code official or Cape Fear Public Utility
Authority.
21. All fire hydrants shall be installed so they are visible from the fire apparatus access road with
unobstructed access and a clear space no less than 36 inches in all directions. They shall be

within 250 feet of a fire hydrant, distances may be adjusted more or less based on approval of the
fire code official and based on the hazards present.

1. Site plan reflects connection to public sewer. Proposed infrastructure will not affect any adjacent
properties.
2. Site Plan reflects the site will be on public water. Surrounding properties: 7011, 7015 and 7019
reflect they are still on drinking water wells. Further investigation with CFPUA may be needed. If
the above mentioned sites are on wells then the well heads must maintain 50 feet from the
normal pool elevation for the storm water retention ponds. All surrounding properties that are
on wells will not be affected by infrastructure developments.
