5 <br /> <br />Staff Options for Addressing Comments Regarding Emergency Access for Trail <br />Systems: <br />14. Trail Systems: There are currently no standards for emergency access for trail <br />systems in the UDO. Issues related to accommodating emergency service <br />personnel needing to access people using trails at Orange County parks and <br />nature preserves administered by DEAPR are best addressed through the <br />addition of the DEAPR staff recommended goal and objectives to the Draft <br />Parks & Recreation Master Plan. This approach would be a more flexible <br />approach that would be responsive to the site-specific environmental issues of <br />individual park sites. <br /> <br /> <br />3. Comprehensive Plan Linkage (i.e. Principles, Goals and Objectives) <br />a. Transportation Goal 2, Objective T-2.3: Increase countywide access for <br />emergency vehicles, including ways to improve response times, both for <br />existing and new developments. <br />b.
