IV . Fire Commissioners
41-59
Chief Jeff Oplinger and five other commissioners visited to express and discuss
concerns they have with future development in Lansing .
1 ) Lake development - they feel the development of a road west of Rte . 34 ,
running north - south preferably along the escarpment from Bolton Point to Nut Ridge
is essential .
2 ) Dead end streets - no turn arounds
3 ) Tall buildings - the depart . doesn ' t have the equipment to handle anything
taller than 4 stories .
4 ) subdivision - feel it would be helpful if we sent them copies of proposed
• subdivisions for their input . They would prefer not to have square corners
at intersections .
5 ) House numbers - would like to have numbers assigned when building permits are
are issued . The system of assigning a number every 50 ' is still good .
6 ) Warren Rd . - the farthest and most difficult to reach from each station - the
weakest area in town and slated for the greatest development . ( Lucente PDA )
7 ) Insurance - homeowner rates are affected when fire department can ' t
guarantee protection .
8 ) Driveways - approach angles .
9 ) Connector road - between Warren and Peruville Rds . - extend Benson to Warren .
10 ) Hillcrest Rd . - needs to be upgraded to handle increased traffic . Increased
development means . a greater need for fire protection .
11 ) Apartment Bldgs . - how they are situated , proximity to parking areas and
driveways , affects the ability of fire trucks to reach and service them .
12 ) Same or similar road names - should be avoided .
• The Board expressed their appreciation to the firemen for a most informative presentation .
Loard members felt that in the future , fire depart . approval should be added to the
• approval process for subdivisions . . The firemen % volunteered to attend any meeting
that a subdivision is discussed .
