I seen that. This Bldg is a single floor with 4 hose valves. Does this mean that the standpipe system connects to the sprinkler system riser, or can each hose valve individually connect to the sprinkler system mains?

NFPA 14 describes the requirements for design of standpipe systems; NFPA 13 same for sprinkler systems. Both standards prescribe the provisions for combined systems but IF you're requirement is for a standpipe system (as prescribed by CODE), then the answer is likely that the hose connections can't just be taken off the sprinkler piping. Unfortunately, it's not just a yes/no equation so the answer is conditional.

Of course he hasn't shown how they are to be connected, his note is to connect to the sprinkler system. In the past I have ran a separate main w/ a control valve from the riser to feed the hose valves. Can they be connected to the sprinkler mains?
