1 <br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: June 2, 2015 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. 6 -1 <br />SUBJECT: Approval to Extend the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District Boundary <br />DEPARTMENT: Emergency Services PUBLIC HEARING: (Y /N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Cane Creek Fire Insurance District Map Jason Shepherd, 919 - 245 -6151 <br />Map of Proposed Property Transfer from <br />West Orange Fire Insurance District <br />PURPOSE: To approve the updated Cane Creek Insurance District map which has been <br />expanded to include properties from the Efland Fire District that are not currently in the rated <br />insurance district. <br />BACKGROUND: This is the same concept used in the past by other county fire departments to <br />address the insurance concerns for property owners. <br />Certain properties in the southern area of the Efland Fire District are located greater than six <br />miles from Efland Fire Station 1 located at 3900 US HWY 70 West. As a result, those properties <br />are not in the West Orange Fire Insurance District and are rated as a protection class 10. <br />Orange Grove Fire Department Station 1 is located at 6800 Orange Grove Road in the northern <br />area of that district. This station serves an area of the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District which <br />is adjacent to the Efland Fire District. <br />The Fire Marshal's Office has worked with representatives from the Orange Grove Fire <br />Department and the Efland Fire Department to identify the areas not in the rated West Orange <br />Fire Insurance District. Fire Marshal Staff has also worked with Orange County Geographic <br />Information Systems (GIS) to identify those parcels in the Efland Fire District that are not in the <br />West Orange Fire Insurance District. <br />Staff proposes to move these parcels into the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District which will <br />allow twenty -four (24) property owners to be included in a rated insurance district and be eligible <br />for insurance premiums. GIS staff has completed a revised map of the Cane Creek Fire <br />Insurance District showing those parcels now being added to the Cane Creek Fire Insurance <br />District. <br />Upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners, the Office of the State Fire Marshal can <br />legally approve the transfer of those affected parcels to the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District. <br />
