-Li A.( <br /> ryof TO: PLANNING COMMISSION <br /> lkRiver FROM: RUSS ANDERSON, FIRE CHIEF 60 <br /> DATE: FEBRUARY 12, 1993 <br /> SUBJECT: LENGTH OF CUL-DE-SACS <br /> The Fire Department would have no problems extending the <br /> cul-de-sac length policy to a maximum of 1,000 feet. Listed <br /> below are several items we should discuss during concept review <br /> meetings . <br /> 1 . Recommend a policy prohibiting "unnecessary" <br /> cul-de-sacs . Unnecessary cul-de-sacs create a jumble <br /> of unconnected streets making it difficult for <br /> ambulances and fire trucks to move about the City. <br /> 2 . Review hydrant spacing in cul-de-sacs or dead-end <br /> areas (two reachable hydrants for fire suppression) . <br /> 3 . Recommend a policy of 90 foot diameter, tarred <br /> surface for cul-de-sacs . <br /> • 4 . Recommend a policy permitting a limited number of <br /> cul-de-sacs per the number of lots in a subdivision. <br /> 720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
