the north side of the one -level townhouses to screen County Road 47.
14. Landscaping within the medians on Cheshire Lane should be consistent with that planted by
the developers of The Reserve and Glacier Vista.

the more southerly parking area on Juneau Lane that accesses the loading area. Parking areas

should be nine feet wide by 22 feet long. Drive aisles should also be 10 feet from buildings.

flow calculations with the PUD for the two highest elevation hydrants and the last two
hydrants on the dead end water main on 57th Avenue. Fire flow calculations must include
each hydrant of each set of hydrants flowing 1500 gpm at 20 psi residual pressure.
21. Complete the 20 -inch water main connection from Cheshire Lane to the water main on
County Road 47. The water main in 57th Avenue is required to be an 18 -inch water main.
22. The sanitary sewer service for the site is provided from an existing ten -inch line in Glacier
Lane N. Submit estimate of flows generated from this site.
23. Buildings of the size proposed should be protected by an approved fire sprinkler system. Fire
department lock boxes will be required for buildings with automatic fire sprinklers. Post
indicator valves and Siamese connections will be required for buildings with NFPA 13 and
13R fire sprinkler systems.
