,sCaba. rrus County <br /> henff's Department <br /> Robert M. Canaday, Sheriff <br /> <br />August 29, 1997 <br /> <br />Mr. Jonathan Marshall <br />Cabarrus County Planning Dept. <br />Concord, NC <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Marshall: <br /> <br />I have reviewed the proposed plan for the Highland Creek Development (Cabarrus <br />Section) and still have serious reservations about the section in Cabarrus County not <br />having reasonable access from Cabarrus County for emergency services. <br /> <br />From riding the development it appears that the nearest route for volunteer fire and first <br />responders to reach the Cabarrus County section of the development would be 11.5 miles <br />total with 5.7 miles of that being inside Mecklenburg County. It is over 3 miles from the <br />entrance to the development (off Ridge Rd.) to the Cabarrus County section which is all <br />in Mecklenburg County. <br /> <br />In the letter you sent me dated August 26, 1997 it states that access from Cabarrus <br />County to the development would now be located on an improved Ellenwood Road and <br />the connection with Ellenwood would be at some time in the future after the section now <br />being considered is inhabited and other phases are con;pleted. <br /> <br />This situation would pose a serious threat to life and property should there be a need for <br />frre, medical or law enforcement emergency services. There would be extensive delays <br />in the response of those services from Cabarrus County due to the distance and route that <br />would have to be taken. <br /> <br />If Ellenwood Road were to be improved and tied to the Cabarrus County section of the <br />development when it is started I would have a much better feeling about the delivery of <br />emergency services to the area. <br /> <br />Thank you for allowing me to have input into this matter. <br /> <br />Sincerely, _ <br />Sheriff <br /> <br />P.O. BOX 525 25 CORBAN AVE. S.E., CONCORD, N.C. 28026-0525 PHONE (704) 788-3108 ORI NC0130000 <br /> <br /> <br />
