Disapproved | Plans were resubmitted however I don't know what I am supposed to be looking at.
It appears the construction type has been changed from II-B to V-B. This has a huge effect on your required fire flows, number and spacing of required fire hydrants.
Plans are disapproved, as well and the fire hydrant plans. |
