| Disapproved | (STANDARD COMMENT 100) PLANS DISAPPROVED:
The following information and/or corrections are needed prior to conducting a full plan review
1. Approved site/development plan shall be attached to the construction plans. As a state agency, you may be able to bypass the Planning requirements, however, a site plan must still be submitted to CSFD for fire department access requirements. Site plan shall be scaled and include roads, paved areas on the site and any fire hydrants in the vicinity.
2. Cody study shall be provided: you need to provide the size of the existing structure and the proposed addition, occupancy classification, occupant load, etc.
3. Fire Hydrants: grading and erosing plan indicates a hydrant, however, you must obtain fire flows from CSU - see additional comment. Also, you must indicate all hydrants in the area - the only one shown is not usable since it is behind a chain link fence.
4. HazMat review is required due to the existing propane tank and the need to verify you are not encroaching on required separations between said tank and the propsed addition.
All corrections and comments shall be submitted back to CSFD in writing, or provide submittal sheets/drawings/ blueprints etc. as requested, which will allow us to complete our review. We do not accept plan review corrections over the phone, via fax, or verbally.
