Old Business
A discussion was held on possible sites for a fire station in the
Flagstone Subdivision located on Taylor Road. Fire Chief Penicook
summarized his report to the Commission regarding fire station
locations . Chief Penicook said he felt that each developer when
putting in a new subdivision should deed a certain amoung of square
footage per acre for a fire station . Penicook recommended the
following two locations in the Flagstone Subdivision for a fire
station : 1 . Lots 1 & 2 along Taylor Road immediately west of
Griffin Creek. 2. Lots 36 & 37 at the southwest corner of the
subdivision . The advantages of having a station at location #1
are : 1 . Quickest response to the high value area and Fire
Zone #1 . 2 . Near a Southern Pacific crossing . 3. Good
location for service testing of apparatus . 4. Speedy access to
the west side community. 5. Quickest response to Pine Street
which is the main east-west artery of the community. The single
disadvantage is that responses to the south would be through
approximately 12 miles of a subdivision . The advantages of having
a station at location #2 are : 1 . Centralized location on the west
side of the community. 2 . Response times for the west side area would
show less variance. The disadvantages are : 1 . Responses would be
made through a portion of a subdivision that have many children .
2. Call-in men would be responding through a well population
subdivision . A . short discussion was held regarding the burden it
would pose on the developers to donate land for a fire station .
Chief Penicook was asked what the total cost would be to build a
fire station. He replied the total cost including the land
would be $131 ,000. City Adm. Kucera read the staff report
and recommended approval subject to the following conditions :
1 . Improvements being performed to standards and specifications
of the City of Central Point .
2. All improvements to be designed to be flood protected for
a 100 year flood with the first floor elevation of
housing one foot above the '100 year flood elevation .
3. Lots 1 and 2 of Block 1 be donated to the City for future
fire station , if desired.
4. In lieu of money be accepted for the .1 . 34 acre park lands
at the current assessed rate of $3625 per acre . Total
payment would be $4657 .
5 . Restrictive covenants to allow continuous access in creek
maintenance easement. No structures to be built in the
easement and adequate gates provided in any hedges or
fences .
Mr. Noel Moore, Developer, was recognized and said that if
fire stations are going to be required in subdivisions and
the developer will have to donate land, the City is going
to run into the problem of developers not coming into this
area to build because they won ' t , be able to afford to.. '
Commissioner Mann suggested that rather than have the .
developer donate the lots that the developer give the City
the option to buy some lots at the undeveloped price.
Commissioner Hillyer stated that the City Adm. , Fire Chief
and City Council should get together and determine where fire
stations should be located and when a subdivision comes in
and falls in an area that has .been selected for a station ,
the developer and city should then specify the City ' s two
lots . Motion was made by Mann , seconded .by. .Emery to scratch
condition #3 of the staff report which reads "Lots 1 & 2 of
Block ,l be donated to the City. 'for a fire station" and have
it read "Two lots should be selected by the builder and the
city to be sold to the city for a fire station" . Roll call
