� Ccrse Number; 770-73 Page Two 3. The sketch qi- the leff is a copy of a map that was sufamitted with the report indicating the focaiions of sites under consideration numbered 1, 2, and 3. The "X�' on the sketch indicai-e the location oF residences of i0 of the firemen in the immediate neighbori�ood. The recomrriendeci site is at the northwest corner, is currently unoccupied and zoned Single Family. A Panoramic picture of the site wi{f be avc�ifable at the meeting for your consit�eration. As nofed in the Manpger's memo, the purpose of the hearing is i-o det-ermine the neighborhood reaction to the proposal to construct the fire stafion af this location. To our knowledge no preliminary plans f�ave been prepored indicai-ing the manner in which the station would be constructed on the site. 4. The principal considerafion in selecting a fire stafion site to serve this portion of the 6uilding, should be its strategic position in relationship to the service area. Care should be taken to of�tain the best possible site to mosfi efficiently serve the service prea in a safe and convenient manner. One condition not in favor of �he No. 1 sii-e selected is the fact fihat Western Avenue does not exfend across Highway 36. Thus, a run to any por.tion of the ea5terly part of Rosevi!!e nort� of 36 will n�cessii-ate a half mile travel distance to either Da4e Sfreet or Rice Sfireet. Lilcewise, any run to the area south of Lake McCarron will invalve a __ � trip either around the east side of fhe lake or the west side. 5. Norrnally, if a fire sfiation is located near a limited access highway (such as Highway 36}, the station would be locqted close to an interchange so as to be abie to get across and onto the freeway itseif, Wifih this in mind, a location in the vicinii-y of County Road B and Dale St-reet would be ideal, excepf thai- no obviously available }�iece of land exists in the immediate vicinity of that crossroads. fi. If however, the fire station is to serve the entire east- end of the Village, then, a iocation in t�e vicinity of DaEe Street qnd County Road B--2 might �e considered {inasmuch as County Road B-2 is the mid--point between the north and saufh boundary of the Village in the east end). Open land exists at this iocation, though we are not awQre of it having been determined that it is availabfe for sale. T�e number af firemen who live in the immediate vicinity of tl�e latter site has not been checked out, and this may be an important factor (pari�iculariy in view of the firemen who are to serve it}. 7. We suggest that reviewing some of fihese considerations wiYh the Fire Chief and his assistants and with the Fire Underwriters might be appropriafe before making a final decision on a site that will have to serve the Village for many years to come . �
