Mr. Mlki Gaffron <br />September 21, 1995 <br />Page 2 <br />This is the same fire attack scenario the Fire Department would use with <br />the proposed street vacation, as well as with any fire in residences along <br />North Shore Drive. I ha%'e attached a half-seaion aerial map which shows <br />the approximate length of the driveways for homes along North Shore <br />Drive. Note that the Martield driveway which would result from the <br />vacation will be about the same length as the majority of those homes and <br />will aaually be shorter than several of the existing driveways . <br />Fire fightin? capabilities for a tire at the Toles residence is improved. The <br />proposed new drivew'ay places the residence less than 2wC feet from North <br />Shore Drive versus the current 4?C + feet. <br />___--------------------------- •- • !-*-? i* •• rr any other <br />residence along the south side of North Shore Drive. <br />SUMMARY <br />Three criteria can be used to evaluate the fire proteaion issue for the proposed <br />change: <br />Life Safety <br />Property Protection <br />Fire Fighter Safety <br />Life Safety <br />Property Protection <br />Fire Fighter Safeiv <br />Hill <br />No Change <br />No Change <br />No Change <br />MarfieM <br />No Change <br />No Change <br />No Change <br />Toles <br />Improved <br />Improved <br />Improved <br />Fire safetv at the three residences requesting the change has not been a problem <br />during the last 20 vears the Dicon Addition has been in place. As you may be <br />aware! there was a fire at the Martield residence several years ago which was <br />successfully fought by a single truck which utilized the Marfield ’s driveway for <br />access and was able to maneuver close to the source of the fire by this means. At <br />th.\t time there was an island in the driveway which is not present today. The <br />truck was able to enter and exit the Martield driveway and property without <br />dam.ige to the site.
