He indicated the current Comprehensive Plan does call for the area <br />east of Cleveland to be added to the Urban Service District. <br />Councilmember Ovall asked about the use of firetruck lights and sirens so near to <br />the school and if the district officials had concerns about disruption. <br />Mr. Wisner stated when he met with school district staff, they discussed the driveway <br />locations going near the school district property along with the use of firetruck lights <br />and sirens when responding to calls. He indicated to aid in exiting trucks, rapid <br />flashing beacons will be installed on Cleveland Street. He stated lights and siren use <br />by fire personnel are regulated under the fire code and overall, the fire chief will be <br />cognizant of the station's location near residents and the school, especially outside of <br />normal work hours. He stated he anticipates similar protocol used for fire station 1. <br />He stated there were no concerns regarding this from the neighborhood south of <br />this location. <br />Councilmember Ovall stated the few people he has spoken to are thrilled to have the <br />fire station in that location and they just had questions about that would be <br />addressed. <br />Chair Larson -Vito asked about location of the firefighter vehicles when responding <br />to fire calls. <br />Mr. Wisner explained the proposed driveway location and parking spaces for <br />firefighters responding to fire calls will be identified and marked for the firefighters <br />responding to this location. <br />Chair Larson -Vito asked if the city had received any comments from the neighboring <br />residents. <br />Mr. Carlton indicated staff had received no comments. <br />Chair Larson -Vito opened the public hearing. <br />There being no one to speak, Chair Larson -Vito closed the public hearing. <br />Moved by Commissioner Johnson and seconded by Commissioner Jordan to <br />recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit allowing construction of <br />a fire station and well house at 992119181 Ave. NW on the condition that the <br />variance (Case No. V 20-17) addressing driveway deviations is approved. <br />Motion carried 7-0. <br />â–ºIIIRII Rr <br />NATURE <br />
