AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE JEFFERSONVILLE SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE
89-0R-22 AS ORIGINALLY ADOPTED IN 196i OF THE CITY OF JEFFERSONVILLE
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Jeffersonville is desirous
in amending Ordinance No. 89-0R-22 in the best interest of subdivision
development and fire safety.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of
Jeffersonville amends the Ordinance as written.
Under Section 8 - WATER SUPPLY, in the first sentence after the word
Subdivisions, insert Mobile Homes and Manufactured Home Parks.
Under Section 8 - after Item 9, Page 20, add the followin~ items:
10. Requirements for shopping centers, factories, schools, and
apartment complexes shall be as follows.
(a) No shopping center, factory, school, or apartment buildinf
complex shall be approved without necessary water supply
distribution and fire hydrants. Fire hydrants shall be so
located that no point'of exterior building shall be in excess of
300 feet from a fire hydrant. Hydrants shall be approximately 50
feet from the building and hydrants shall be so placed as to be
accessible to the Fire Department (within 15 feet of pavement or
hard surface road).
(b) Hydrant spacing depends on required fire flow. A high
contents fire loading and combustible construction requires
closer spacin~ as well as lar~er water mains. Size of undivided
areas, exposure, and protection by sprinklers is to be
considered. A hydrant within 300 feet is recommended for each
500 ~allons per minute fire flow. Actual fire flows are
calculated from test results to a 20 pound per square inch
residual pressure.
(c) A minimum of 1,000 ~allons per minute at 20 pounds per
square inch residual is required for a typical small modern
noncombustible elementary school: 1,500 ~allons per minute to
2,000 gallons per minute for a larger school.
(d) For a typical eight-unit, two-story frame brick veneer
apartment buildinf, 1,500 gallons per minute would be minimum.
If larfer than 10,000 square feet floor area or less than 50 feet
clear space between buildings, larger flows would be needed. In
a nine to 20-unit typical frame brick veneer unit, 2,000 gallons
per minute. Over 20 units, in excess of 2,500 gallons per
minute.
(e) A small commercial or industrial buildin8 with average type
fire loading basicaily unexposed by other properties requires a
minimum of 1,500 ~allons per minute. Area is a major factor with
these type properties and this requirement increases
significantly with size unless automatic sprinklers are provided.
(f) The requirements for a factory are difficult to generalize
due to the wide range of contents combustibility; minimum 1,500
gallons per minute.
(g) The above fire flows figures are based on a residual
pressure of 20 pounds per square inch and are an area requirement
rather than the amount necessary to be flowed from a single
hydrant. ('77 Code, App. C, Art. 5, § 10.99.
Where no applicable standards or requirements are set out in this
code, or contained within other laws, codes, regulations,
ordinances or by laws adopted by the authority having
jurisdiction, compliance with applicable standards of the
National Fire Protection Association or other nationally
recognized fire-safety standards as are approved by the Fire
Chief shall be deemed as prima facie evidence of compliance with
the intent of this code.
This ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon its
timely passage, promulgation and approval by the Mayor.
Passed and adopted by the Common council of the City of
County, Indiana, on the ~ day of
