� i !� Case Number: $09-74 `�' M�arch 6, 1974 Page Two to this site is the fact that there are existing single family houses contiguous �o1'h to the norfih and the sovth. This particular stai-ion locafiion, however, places the station as far from each of these houses as possib[e, as you will note from the site plans to be shown at the meeting. 4. You wil! note that an optiona{ station site exists at Site No. 2 at �he southwest corner of Counfy Road B-2 and Da1e. This parcels mepsures 180.45 feet east-west, by 279.08 feet north-south (after ]0 feef of additiona! dedication for each street). 7his produces a site area of 1.15 acres and can better accommodate the station facility as shown on the site p1an. This property I�as a smalf house on the southerly portion of it. We are noi- aware of the availability or the cost of this property, but the site plan would seem to suggest that it wouid work better due to its slightly larger size and greafer east-west dimension. 5. Site No. 3 we have added for your consideration, inasmuch as it represents, in our opinion, i-he besf site in Yhe vicinii'y of County Road B-2 and Dale Str�et. It is desirable, as you know, to have the station driveway (egress) severai hundred feet from the corner as would be the case in tF�is point. 8ecause there are no � singfe family houses around the prope�ty, and because there pre apartments across the street, this site would seem to have the least deleterxous affect on single family developrnent in the area. About a year ago a representative of the Concordia Academy (whoownsthe property) inc{uired of the City as to the possibilii'y of zoning and building some apartmenfs on the tract of {and at the southeast corner shown in the copy of the section map in the sketch at the left. We understand that fhe school does have plans for �xpernsion, but have not dei-ermined as to whether or not they woulc! be willing to convey a porfion of their site far fire station purposes. The site we have suggested measures 235 fee1� �n depth with 250 feet of frontage along Dale Street. This sifie pfan works extremely well, inasmuch as the station orients perpendicular ta the road and we can adequately accommodate 30 or more cars in a fine setting. 6. The purpose of the hearing is to hear the pu6lic's reactions Po the principaf site in consideration, and considerthereactionsorafternafives. As previously noted, we are of fihe opinion thaf a station in the vicinity of County Road B-2 and Cale 5treet is an appropriate locofion. Site No. 3 would seem to offer the feast deleterious irnpact upon others (assuming its available) and also offers the aclvantage of having c� direct right-turn access for firemen coming from the south up Dale Street ta the station site without having to go through the intersection of Counfy Road $--2 and Dale Street. This advantage also accrues to Site No. 2, except fhat it is a lefi-turn rather than a right-turn as it be the case in Sife No. 3. �"�
