The following key factors were <br />considered: <br />Queuing. Designing streets so that moving cars must occasionally yield between parked cars <br />before moving forward permits development of narrow streets, encourages vehicles to move <br />slower, and allows for periodic areas where a 20 foot wide clear area is available for parking <br />of fire apparatus. <br />Response: Oakleigh Lane's existing roadway width and parking conditions <br />do not ensure that a 20-foot wide clear area would be available for parking <br />of fire apparatus. See photo number 2 in Exhibit D.I. <br />As shown on the photos near the fire hydrant, the available roadway width <br />of less than 20-foot will not provide enough room for firefighters to <br />efficiently set up and use their equipment. Due to the size of the emergency <br />vehicles and the large equipment they carry, the uniform Fire Code requires <br />a 20-foot wide clear passage to accommodate the need to move the vehicles <br />and access equipment on them quickly. See "ODOT Neighborhood Street <br />Design Guidelines" in Exhibit J.1 and J.2. <br />Connected Street Networks. Connected street networks provide multiple ways for <br />emergency response vehicles to access a particular location and multiple evacuation routes. <br />Response: Oakleigh Lane lacks connectivity to other street networks. There <br />are not multiple evacuation routes and means of emergency vehicle access <br />to the residential areas along Oakleigh Lane. A 12' accessway from Oakleigh <br />Lane to adjacent street(s) should be provided for emergency vehicles and <br />pedestrian evacuation. <br />Nemariam Engineers & Associates, LLC.
