Centerville Public Buildings Addition <br /> August 1999 <br /> 1. There should be a minimum of 15 parking spots for firefighters. <br /> These spots should be maintained at all times. <br /> 2. Site Plan- Scheme A: shows the parking for the firefighters in <br /> front of the first apparatus bay door. <br /> 3. All three Site Plans reduce the firefighters parking. <br /> 4. Site Plan C: creates a situation where firefighters arriving at the <br /> station are using the same driveway as fire trucks leaving. <br /> Presently we arrive in one driveway and the first out trucks <br /> leave via another. <br /> 5. The fire department sometimes uses the back parking lot for <br /> training, hose testing, etc. This makes it necessary for a large <br /> enough area to be available to continue these practices. <br /> 6. When the City Hall and Fire Station were built in 1992, there <br /> was a very limited amount of money available for this structure. <br /> As a result, items were cut out including square footage and <br /> energy items. The apparatus bay in this fire station is 10 feet <br /> shorter than the other stations within the district. Maybe <br /> another option ought to be considered, turn over the fire station <br /> to the public works and build a new fire station, on a new site <br /> separate from the city building. <br /> 7. All of the plans do end up to be a negative for the fire <br /> department operation. Our concern in 1992 was that as the city <br /> grows and there is a combined structure, that areas used by the <br /> fire department would be reduced to make room for other <br /> departments. This is proving to be true. <br />
