1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: January 21, 2020 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 8-h <br /> SUBJECT: Approval to Extend the White Cross Fire Insurance District Boundary from the <br /> Cane Creek Fire Insurance District <br /> DEPARTMENT: Emergency Services <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Orange Grove and White Cross Insurance Jason Shepherd, 919-245-6151 <br /> District Map Steve McCauley, 919-967-5858 <br /> Phillip Nasseri, 919-942-1194 <br /> PURPOSE: To approve the proposed White Cross Fire Insurance District map which has been <br /> expanded to include properties from the Cane Creek Fire District that is not currently in its rated <br /> insurance district. <br /> BACKGROUND: This proposed action is the same concept used in the past by other County <br /> fire departments to address the insurance concerns for property owners. <br /> Certain properties in the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District are located greater than six miles <br /> from Orange Grove Fire Station 2 located at 6801 Rocky Ridge Road, Hillsborough. As a result, <br /> those properties are not within the six mile insurance limits and are rated as a protection class <br /> 10. White Cross Fire Department Station 2 is located at 2521 Neville Road in the White Cross <br /> Fire Insurance District and serves an area which is adjacent to the Cane Creek Fire Insurance <br /> District. <br /> The Fire Marshal's Office has worked with representatives from the Orange Grove Fire <br /> Department and the White Cross Fire Department to identify the areas not in the rated Central <br /> Orange Fire Insurance District. Fire Marshal staff has also worked with Orange County <br /> Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to identify those parcels in the Central Orange Fire <br /> District that are not in the six mile limits of Central Orange Fire Insurance District. Staff <br /> proposes to move five (5) parcels into the White Cross Fire Insurance District which will allow <br /> the five (5) parcels to be included in a rated insurance district and be eligible for insurance <br /> premiums. GIS staff has completed a revised map of the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District <br /> which is attached showing those parcels now being added to the White Cross Fire Insurance <br /> District. <br />
