1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: January 22, 2019 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 8-i <br /> SUBJECT: Approval to Extend the East Orange Fire Insurance District Boundary from the <br /> Central Orange Fire Insurance District <br /> DEPARTMENT: Emergency Services <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Central Orange and East Orange Jason Shepherd, 919-245-6151 <br /> Insurance District Map <br /> PURPOSE: To approve the proposed East Orange Fire Insurance District map which has been <br /> expanded to include properties from the Central Orange Fire District that are not currently in the <br /> rated insurance district. <br /> BACKGROUND: This proposal follows the same concept utilized in the past by other county <br /> fire departments to address insurance concerns for property owners. <br /> Certain properties in the Central Orange Fire Insurance District are located greater than six <br /> miles from Orange Rural Fire Station 1 located at 206 South Churton Street. As a result, those <br /> properties are not within the six mile insurance limits and are rated as a protection class 10. <br /> Eno Fire Department Station 2 is located at 5501 St. Mary's Road in the East Orange Fire <br /> Insurance District and serves an area which is adjacent to the Central Orange Fire Insurance <br /> District. <br /> The Fire Marshal's Office has worked with representatives from the Orange Rural Fire <br /> Department and the Eno Fire Department to identify the areas not in the rated Central 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 Central Orange Fire District that are <br /> not in the six mile limits of Central Orange Fire Insurance District. Staff proposes to move these <br /> parcels into the East Orange Fire Insurance District which will allow thirteen (13) parcels to be <br /> included in a rated insurance district and be eligible for insurance premiums. <br /> GIS staff has completed a revised map of the Central Orange Fire Insurance District showing <br /> those parcels proposed for addition to the East Orange Fire Insurance District. Upon approval <br /> by the Board of County Commissioners, the Office of the State Fire Marshal can legally approve <br /> the transfer of those affected parcels to the East Orange Fire Insurance District. Thirteen (13) <br />
