2. Any new construction occurring along a roadway shall subject the roadway to compliance with the most current standards set forth in any applicable laws and regulations, with the exceptions listed below:
   
   
   1. Upon written determination of both the Fire Chief of the jurisdiction in question, and with concurrence of the Director of Public Works (or designee) or, in the case of a second- to sixth-class city, its Mayor or designee (but in such case, only with regard to roadways that are considered "city roads." If an exemption is sought in a second- to sixth-class city, the applicant must have the plan date-stamped by a representative of said city. The Mayor's or designee's signature shall indicate approval; however, the exemption shall be deemed granted for purposes of building permit issuance with or without Mayor or designee's signature, unless objection to grant of exemption is filed with the Louisville Metro Department of Public Works within ten business days of the city's date stamp.) The following partial or total exemptions from roadway-width requirements may be granted, and certain improvements and/or bonding may be required as a condition of the grant of an exemption:
      
      
      1. If a bridge is part of an existing roadway that must be brought up to current standards, said bridge may be exempted from the roadway-width requirement, if the particular characteristics of the bridge in question demonstrate that it is capable of safely carrying fire-protection apparatus, with regard to both weight and width of equipment. Certification of weight-bearing capability for private roadways with bridges shall be determined by a licensed professional structural engineer employed by the party seeking this exemption;
         
         
      2. Roadways serving lots that were platted prior to the effective date of this subchapter (October 10, 2003), but for which the Planning Commission did not previously approve a specified roadway width;
         
         
      3. For existing roads serving more than five lots, the exemption set forth in subsection (1) of the definition of ROADWAY may be granted for the construction on lots that are at least two acres in area;
         
         
      4. For lots created by minor plat.
         
         
   2. The above-referenced exemptions will only be granted upon determination that such partial or total exemption is warranted by the particular circumstances of the situation. If fire protection is being provided to areas that are served by substandard roadways, deemed by the Fire Chief of the jurisdiction to be insufficient to currently service the area in an adequate manner, then the requested exemption may not be granted. Moreover, parties requesting exemptions also must be in compliance with all requirements set forth in the Land Development Code, which may be in addition to those enumerated herein.
      
      
   3. Alleys are only considered to be roadways within the meaning of these definitions, and subject to their requirements, if they are the primary means of ingress/egress for firefighting purposes with regard to structures on individual parcels of land.
      
      
3. Referenced codes and regulations. Any documents that comprise types of laws, regulations, ordinances, or policies, as set forth herein, shall refer to the most recently-adopted version, at the time of application of the provisions contained therein.

Building Plans submitted for fire protection review shall include the location and placement of any fire hydrants (proposed, and/or previously-existing), fire lanes and access roads on both public and private property as previously- approved by the Building Official, in cooperation with the recommendations of the Fire Chief, before any actual construction has begun.
   
   
2. Temporary access road requirements during construction. No person, firm, or corporation shall start the combustible stage of the construction of any type of building, other than one single-family dwelling in each phase of a new subdivision development, which shall be used for display purposes only, until an all-weather temporary access road is provided and available for the use and operation of fire protection apparatus. Such temporary access road shall be approved by the Department of Public Works, in cooperation with the Fire Chief. The temporary access road shall be maintained throughout the combustible phase of construction; if it will be utilized beyond that point, it must be converted to a hard surface road (as defined herein), and comply with all applicable laws and regulations for such.
   
   
3. Provision of adequate water supply. After a building permit is issued, the combustible phase of construction shall not begin until an adequate water supply is provided for firefighting purposes, and is approved by the Fire Chief, with the only exception being the construction of one single-family dwelling in each phase of a new subdivision development, which shall be used for display purposes only, on condition that no utilities are connected to the structure before an adequate water supply is provided for firefighting purposes.
   
   
4. Building permits.
   
   
   1. The Building Official, in cooperation with the recommendations of the Fire Chief, may issue a building permit for the construction, or addition to any building covered under this subchapter, with said permit being fully conditional and contingent upon strict compliance with all provisions of this subchapter. Any failure to comply with the provisions of this subchapter shall result in the revocation of the building permit, and such permit will be held to be void ab initio.
      
      
   2. Changes in occupancy use group, as defined in the Kentucky Building Code at the time of the change will require the owner to comply with the provisions of this subchapter.
      
      
   3. Appeals of decisions. Any party claiming to be aggrieved by any decision made pursuant to the provisions of this subchapter, as amended, may appeal said decision to the Louisville Metro Fire Prevention Appeals Board, as set forth in §§ 94.60 et seq.

   2. No fire hydrants which utilize metered service for their source of water shall be considered in fulfilling the provisions of the subchapter. Fire hydrants installed on a fire service tap from the local water utility may use a fire service meter or leak detector meter of the size and type specified by the local water utility. Fire service meters shall be capable of delivering the full capacity of the water main installed.
      
      
   3. The owner of any private water system or fire protection system shall notify the fire department when the system is out of service, and when service has been restored.
