Case Number 8G;-74 Apri I 3, 1974 Page 7hree 7. Given tl�e unavailability of a site on the Concordip Academy properi�y, we exarnined Site "G" iocated slightly to the south, west of Dale 5treet, between Cope and Lovel f Avenues. This site fronts on a level portion of Dale Si-reet, has adequafe land area wifhout purchase of a home, it is between County Road B and B-2, is away from a maEor intersection by more than several hundred �eet, has ready access to Highway 36, and is generally surrounded by compatible land uses. The site is directly across the street from a church (on the east side) has an apartment structure across Cope Avenue (to the south}, would hc�ve open land to the rear (west) and has apartments to the north except for single famify reside�tial af the irrzmediate corner, which is surrounded to the north c�nd west by the apartment properfy. There is single family development fronfiing on Lovefl Avenue to fihe northwest. A large scale site �fan has been prepared for t�is properi-y, indicating how all the access requirements can be achieved with the parking oriented to the south, and the fire ap{�aratus egress orieni-ing to the east (across the street from fhe church). We suggest that this site be given serious consideration as the one which best fits all of the criteria, except having firemen living in the immediate vicinit-y. 8. Following a review of the various sites as outlinec} herein, members of your staff inet with the Fire Chief, Floyd LeCuyer and his Depty Chief, Jack Schmidt at the Cii�y Ha[I on Wednesday, March 27th. We reviewed maps, air photos, site plans and the criteria for station selection. We fihen exarnined each of the sites noted in this report in the field. 1t was agreed that in terms of the locafion of the a paratus (fi�e trucks), ti�e best location is Site "G", some 700 feet south of fihe interseciion of 8-2 and Dale.. In effect, the Fire Departmenf representatives are saying that if it were a paid department, ancf i-hat . drivers were available at the stafion, this site is the best location from the standpoint o� strategic location, level site, adequate area, contiguous developmeni-, and good site visibiiify away from a major i�tersection.. 9. Th� Fire Department rep�-esentatives, �owever, do feel that they desire the Coun�y Road B and Western location because of its proximity t�o presenf inembers within the clepartment, In the view of fire department personnel then, is the question of a choice between Sii'e "A" and Site "G". We suggesfied that we wouid prepare simple sit� plans for both of these sites so that they can be fairly compared at the pianning commission meeting. Site plans and other graphic information wili be prepared in slide form as an aid to a review of the sites in question, and the evaluation as to the most appropriate location.
