We currently have to my knowledge, <br /> appropriate water supply, but I stated that depending on future growth, future code <br /> changes and design, there is a possibility that a municipal water supply may be needed <br /> for fire protection of designed buildings. I cannot rule out design and code <br /> requirements." <br /> Response: Per a meeting with Jason Shepherd, the Orange County Fire Marshall, and <br /> follow-up correspondence with Chief Mike Tapp of the New Hope Fire Department, <br /> there is currently appropriate water supplies via utilizing nearby water points at ponds <br /> located on Blackwood Mountain Road and at Cornerstone Drive to acconunodate fire <br /> response requirements for the existing school campus. As the school develops, there is <br /> no guarantee that additional supply and capacity needs will not require supplemental <br /> water supply front a municipal sources. This requirement and subsequent design of <br /> utilities(if necessary) will be provided at the individual site plan approval process. <br />
