Foss Economic Development Director ATTACHMENTS: 1. Station Location Map RECOMMENDATION: Approve the location at Fallon Road and Bent Tree Drive as the &preferred location for Fire Station 18 FINANCIAL STATEMENT: None. DESCRIPTION: On April 18, 2000, the City Council approved the Emergency Fire / Medical Response Plan for Service which concluded that the City will need to construct two (2) new fire stations to serve the Eastern Dublin Planning area. In order to maintain the 5-minute response times required of Alameda County Fire, the two stations were proposed as follows: Fire Station 17: Fire Station 17 was proposed for a one-acre site located at the southwest comer of Broder and Madigan. Fire Station 18: Fire Station 18 was proposed for a .75 acre site located near the intersection of Gleason Drive and Fallon Road. With regards to Fire Station 17, the City Council will purchase the site from the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority for $654,000. Staff anticipates that construction could begin on Station 17 during the second quarter of 2002. As for Fire Station 18, the proposed location of a fire station site near the intersection of Gleason Drive and Fallon Road was selected to provide adequate fire and emergency response to the Dublin Ranch development and points east and south. The location of this fire station site was also considered as part of the development of Dublin Ranch Area A - the 571-unit subdivision located in the northeast portion of Dublin Ranch. The applicant agreed to condition(s) 106 through 112 which described certain obligations relative to the construction of a new fire station. Condition 106 specifically required that the "Applicant/Developer shall submit a proposal to City, for city approval, describing the land to be dedicated for the fire station site." H/cc-forms/agdastmt.doc COPIES TO: 81 Martin Inderbitzen . Rod Andrade ~ ~ ITEM NO. City and Alameda County Fire staff met with representatives of the developer (Martin Inderbitzen and Rod Andrade) on April 5, 2001 to review the proposed potential fire station locations. It was determined that the preferred location was a .75 acre site at the west side of the intersection ofFalIon Road and Bent Tree Drive (see Attachment A) because: (1) it is sited at a planned median break which allows the engine and/or track company to make unimpeded movements in any direction and (2) it is located at a controlled intersection. The location is presently part of the proposed 52-acre Sports Park, but the developer has made accommodations in the park site planning to maintain the necessary acreage for the park. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council approve the proposed location at Fallon Road and Bent Tree Drive as the preferred location for Fire Station 18. .....
