I CABARHIIS COU~f'~! <br /> NBHTH £ABOLINA <br /> <br />September 26, 2001 <br /> <br />To: Roger Lentz, Cabarrus County Planning Dept. <br /> <br />From: Greg Walters, Cabarrus County Fire Marshal (~ <br /> <br />RE: Review of SKYBROOK PHASE 6 & HIGHLAND CREEK <br /> <br />Following are concerns regarding Emergency Services response to the area within <br />Skybr0ok Phase 6 and Highland Creek: <br />· The 40 foot local residential limited street is very limiting for fire and EMS vehicles. <br /> These streets would only allow 9 feet per street side for these vehicles. It also would <br /> result in the vehicle having to straddle the center line, to allow enough room for safe <br /> vehicle operation, and not taking into consideration of the possibility of vehicles <br /> being parked along the side of the street. <br /> <br />35 foot Cul-De-Sac mm radius will also limit the accessibility of emergency vehicles <br />either. Some fire apparatus (ie the responding department for this area) is longer than <br />the allowed footage for turn radius. <br /> <br />What type of water supply will be in the division? If there is not going to be any fire <br />hydrants / city water mains, is there any chance of having ponds/lake built to provide <br />a water supply for emergency needs (fire fighting)? OR, if there is going to be <br />municiple water available, what size mains are going to be installed? <br /> <br />Fires may not occur every day, week or month, however the homeowner's insurance <br />company will take all of these concerns into consideration when writing the policy. <br /> <br />Highland Creek - Is not some of these lots dangerously close to the established <br />floodway? <br /> <br /> Department of Emergency Management <br />F~O.
