| FYI | HILLSIDE GENERAL COMMENTS
The CSFD cannot assure fire emergency response to this lot(s) due to access related problems within hillside response areas. ie: snow, increased grades, narrow roadways.
Residing in or near wildland/wildfire interface or intermix areas involves increased fire risks that may not apply in urban or more urbanized types of developed communities. ie: increased fuel loading, low water pressures, longer response times. |
| FYI | HILLSIDE DRIVEWAYS: When driveways serve as a fire department access road, the width shall be a minimum of twelve feet (12-ft) and having a slope of twelve percent (12%) or less. |
| FYI | (EMBRES) - RE-REVIEWS
Re reviews may be submitted back to the CSFD by direct submittal at the Development Review Enterprise counter (2880 International Circle, Suite 200-7), or through the Regional Building Department's routing system.
In addition to resubmitting, you may also schedule a re review meeting. Depending on the complexity of the re review, Plans Examiner Rhonda Embres may meet with you to perform the re review. You may contact Rhonda at (719) 385-7369.
Re-reviews are typically turned around in a faster manner than the original review. |
