1 <br />Mr. Mike 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 have 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 Marfield driveway which would result from the <br />vacation will be about the same length as the majority of those homes and <br />will actually be shorter than several of the existing driveways . <br />•Fire fighting capabilities for a fire at the Toles residence is improved. The <br />proposed new driveway places the residence less ihan 2wC leet from North <br />Shore Drive versus the current 450 +feet. <br />^T>-:_____ k-a,ic 1------ •- h?-' r*'-*-'. r i* r*; .any other <br />residence along the south side of North Shore Drive. <br />SI JXTMARY <br />Three criteria can b.- a‘cd to evaluate the fire protection issue for the proposed <br />change: <br />•Life Safety <br />•Property Protection <br />•Fire Fighter Safety <br />Hill Marfield Toles <br />Life Safety No Change No Change Improved <br />Property Protection No Change No Change Improved <br />Fire Fighter Safetv No Change No Change Improved <br />Fire safety .u the three residences requesting the change h.is not been a problem <br />during the last IZ years the Dicon .addition has been in place. .As you may be <br />aware, there vv.is a fire at the Marfield residence several years ago which w.is <br />successfully fought by a single truck which utilized the Marfield's driveway for <br />.iccess and wa^ able to maneuver close to the source of the tire by this means. .At <br />th.it time there was an island in the driveway which is not present today. The <br />truck was able to enter and exit the Marfield drivew.iy and property without <br />damage to the site.
