Summary

Board members warned that current access may not accommodate standard emergency vehicles and directed the applicant to coordinate a fire-department site visit and submit required documentation before proceeding.

A board member said the fire chief's primary concern is that the current access and alignment would not allow two full-size emergency vehicles to operate safely at the site. The board described its trucks as 37 feet long and said that, if the existing approach is inadequate, the applicant must show a compliant turnaround.

The board instructed the applicant to provide the fire chief’s requirements in writing and to update the plans to show the wider road sections and turnaround. The applicant agreed to supply more detailed contours and to coordinate on-site reviews as requested.
