DRC NO. 01-17-01 CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 14 FIRE HYDRANTS AND DELETING SECTION 39.4.1 ENFORCEMENT OF FIRE HYDRANT REQUIREMENTS OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES

PETITIONER: CITY OF MARGATE, DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND ENGINEERING

Body

 

BACKGROUND: The proposed amendments clarify, simplify, consolidate, and update the City’s fire hydrant requirements. A summary of the proposed changes are as follows:

•                     Adds term definitions

•                     Consolidates and simplifies the hydrant spacing requirements

•                     Reduces minimum water main sizes to come in line with common municipal standards (fire flow rates remain the same)

•                     Removes obsolete zoning designations, terms, and product numbers

•                     Deletes metric units

•                     Moves enforcement language from Chapter 39 to Chapter 14 for consolidation purposes
