NC 54 and if le road miles involved exceed four miles. <br /> 6. Ed Johnson: No, the department could send one tanker and call for mutual <br /> 7. aid. If Teer load access can be used it permits the dispatch of more than one <br /> 8. piece of equipMent and mutual aid as well. <br /> 9. Alice Gordon inquired if the request for fire access cannot be granted must <br /> 10. the request for modification be denied. Rick Cannity responded that the Board <br /> 11. of Commissioners must decide if the information supplied indicates that adequate <br /> 12. fire protection, is available. Gordon asked Johnson if the fire access recommended <br /> 13 was necessary for the permit to be granted.. Johnson replied that it was a matter <br /> 114.. of the degree of protection desired and that the Teer Road Access would provide <br /> 15. better protection. <br /> 16. Commissioner Willhoit inquired about the Meadowcrest access. Johnson <br /> 17. indicated it would come off of Teer Road and extend 1/10 of a mile. <br /> 18. ComMissioner Whitted asked if it was an all weather road. Johnson did not <br /> 19. know. <br /> 20. CommissionOr Willhoit indicated based on the evidence, a fire access longer <br /> 21. than four miles 'might not enjoy a lower rating for fire insurance. <br /> 22. Ed Johnson indicated that Horace Williams does not allow touch and go <br /> 23. landings for safety and noise reasons and that there also was a risk of accidents <br /> 24. with these operations, especially with a shortened runway. <br /> 25. Commissione I r Willhoit asked if any additional equipment would be needed if <br /> 26. the only fire access was via NC 54. Ed Johnson indicated probably yes, but <br /> 27, he would have to check with the Board of Directors. He also indicated that <br /> 28. the Department had already negotiated with the developer regarding water avail- <br /> 29. ability. He continued indicating that two small ponds are used for water purposes <br /> 30, for fire protectiion. <br /> 31. Maurice Henkplc nv-mnri. <br />
