that day and blocked by large tree trimming trucks. (This is yearly maintanance and Capital is closed <br />for other reasons such as Utility repair/work as has been documented in the CHPUD Response <br />Group report) Emergency responders will have to use the much less desireable Madrona-Highland- <br />CrestaDeRuta route that “would require additional maneuvering of the fire vehicle and would <br />potentially greatly <br />reduce response time.” (Fire Department 2-20-18) I would also like to add that along that slow windy <br />route there is a very narrow portion of Madrona between Malabar Dr and Highland Dr that if blocked <br />for whatever reason would require the emergency response to use Malabar Dr and make an <br />extremely sharp turn onto the other side of Madrona which would then allow the Emergency Vehicle <br />to access Highland and proceed up the hill. (This turn was shown in the presentation with the <br />Firetruck trying to make it and Fireman out of the truck helping. It is similar to the Cresta de Ruta to <br />Capital Dr turn the Fire Department described above) This is very clearly unsafe and does not meet <br />EC 9.6815 (1) (a). This also shows the CHPUD proposal does not meet EC 9.8320 Criteria 5 and <br />Criteria 6 and should be denied. <br />Capital Dr will be closed Thursday, 3/22/18 (SIGN: CAPITAL CLOSED THURSDAY) <br />EC 9.8320 Criteria 6 says The PUD will not be a significant risk to public health and safety, including <br />but not limited to soil erosion, slope failure, storm water or flood hazard, or an impediment to <br />emergency response. Given the explanation above and the letter from the Fire Department from <br />2/20/18 (especially the Concern Realities 1 and 2) it is more than clear that this CHPUD proposal is a <br />significant risk to public health and safety and clearly presents an impediment to emergency <br />response, not meeting Criteria 6 and should be denied. <br />There is a fundamental issue with pedestrian safety that is not addressed by the applicant. There is <br />absolutely no accommodation for pedestrians on Capital at the access of lots 18 and 19. Here you <br />have an 18ft wide road with curbs on both sides at a sharp 90 degree curve with no sidewalk. This is <br />part of the proposed CHPUD and has not addressed pedestrian safety or access in any way, but <br />rather has made it more unsafe through the introduction of the access for lots 18+19 and the addition <br />of additional traffic from the propos <br />\[The entire original message is not included.\] <br />3 <br /> <br />
