CABARRUS COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />REGULAR MEETING <br />MAY 17, 2010 <br />6:30 P.M. <br />AGENDA CATEGORY: <br />New Business <br />SUBJECT: <br />Fire Marshal's Office -Approval of <br />Enochville, and Kannapolis Rural Fir <br />Hearing on May 17, 2010 - 6:30 P.M. <br />BRIEF SUMMARY: <br />Proposed Changes to the Odell, <br />e Districts and Request for Public <br />Prior inspections conducted by the Office of the State Fire Marshal, <br />identified areas within districts beyond the five (5) and six (6) miles <br />perimeters, which forced some fire departments to build additional <br />stations in order to provide adequate fire protection. With these new and <br />existing stations, Cabarrus County can now provide fire protection <br />coverage to the current Enochville Fire District. At its March 2010 <br />meeting, the Board took certain action to end its contractual arrangement <br />with the Enochville VFD for fire protection services in the Enochville fire <br />tax district. Consequently, the current Enochville Fire District will be <br />divided between the Odell and Kannapolis fire districts as indicated on the <br />following maps, which meet the requirements of the Department of <br />Insurance and were recently approved by the Office of the State Fire <br />Marshal. Session Law 2006-1 requires that a public hearing be held to <br />receive comments on the proposed map changes. <br />Currently, the written descriptions of the fire district boundaries are <br />currently found in Article III, Special Acts, of the Cabarrus County Code of <br />Ordinances. Some, if not all of the written descriptions are out-of- <br />date. Staff recommends these maps be moved to Chapter 34 of the <br />County's Code of Ordinances for easier location and accessibility. <br />The following ordinance replaces the written description with a GIS <br />(Geographic Information System) tax parcel generated color map. These <br />maps will be codified and will be available for public inspection via the <br />G-1 Page 72 <br />
