1. The Fire Department can not support this development as shown. The two ways in/two
ways out pertains to the residents as well as the Fire Department. With a major thoroughfare
immediately south of this development, a railroad adjacent to the south boundary and a natural
gas metering station just to the west, the possibility of a major evacuation is very real.
Attempting to remove 91 families on one street while trying to move emergency apparatus into
the subdivision on the same street would be impossible. Should the street dumping onto
Mockingbird be blocked there would be no way to access the families in the subdivision. A
twenty feet wide "Emergency Access Easement" does not meet the criteria for emergency
ingress/egress. In addition, the emergency access comes off of an alley which can not be used
for an emergency road. In order for the Fire Department to support this development, a full
roadway would need to be installed on the back (east) third of the development. There are also
serious concerns on the dead end eight inch water line supplying this entire project.
