(B) All buildings proposed to be constructed within any project containing private streets must be so arranged and located that firefighting apparatus can park and reach any part of any building with a 200-foot long hose extending from the equipment. This 200-foot hose length must be measured as the hose is laid on the ground and may not be measured as the aerial radius from the parked equipment. In addition, fire hydrants must be so located and provided within the project boundaries so that 500 feet of fire hoses, extending on the ground from the hydrant, can reach the furthermost part of any building within the boundaries of the plat. Entrances to all buildings containing residential dwellings must be illustrated on the plat of any project containing private streets.
