A. Any person applying for a building permit for any proposed commercial,
industrial or subdivision development in the City of Kennett shall
provide, as part of the building permit application, a site plan of
the proposed development which shall show the location of all underground
utilities, including, but not limited to, existing and proposed fire
protection mains and fire hydrants. In the event fire protection mains
are not located on the property of the development and are not proposed
as a part of the development, the application shall show the location
of the nearest hydrant available for Fire Department use.
B. In the event the nearest fire hydrant to the proposed development
is located more than three hundred (300) feet from the closest point
of the main structure in the proposed development, would require the
crossing of a major roadway to access the hydrant to provide fire
protection for the proposed development, or is in a location which,
in the opinion of the Fire Chief, would make access to the hydrant
difficult when providing fire protection to the proposed development
or has a rated free flow of less than one thousand (1,000) gallons
per minute flow or should the proposed development restrict future
extension of water mains to adjoining properties or should the proposed
development prohibit connection to other fire protection mains, the
applicant shall be responsible for extending fire protection mains
and for providing an adequate number of fire hydrants to meet the
connections and fire protection requirement of the Kennett Fire Department.
C. In the event fire protection mains and fire hydrants are required to be installed as part of the development as set forth in Subsection
(B) of this Section, the minimum size of such mains shall be eight (8) inches for industrial and commercial developments and six (6) inches for residential development and each required hydrant shall have two (2) two and one-half (2 1/2) inch National Standard Thread outlets and one (1) four and one-half (4 1/2) inch National Standard Thread outlet. All fire hydrants required under this Section shall have an underground shutoff valve located with each hydrant so as to shut off the individual hydrants for maintenance without shutting off service to an area.
D. In developments where a large complex is proposed, a looped water
main system with adequate hydrants, as approved by the Fire Chief,
or his/her designee, shall be installed around the complex.
E. Existing and proposed utility easements shall be designed into any
proposed development of water main extensions to eliminate dead-end
loops or mains and provide for future extension of the water system.
F. The following are hereby determined to be "major roadways" for the
purposes of this Section, to wit: U.S. Highway 412; Missouri State
Highways 25, 84, E, EE, O and VV; First Street; St. Francis Street;
the North Bypass; the South Bypass; Ely Street; Homecrest Street and

G. No building permit for any proposed commercial or industrial development
shall be issued until such time that compliance with the provisions
of this Section are certified by the Fire Chief or his/her designee.
