Site Feasibility Study for a Combined Fire and EMS Station <br />Bid: A/E 25-006, Town of Chapel Hill, North Carolina <br />May 28, 2025 Page 2 <br />1.0 Introduction <br />The existing Chapel Hill Fire Station 3 is beyond its useful life and needs to be replaced. There is <br />a simultaneous need for additional space for Orange County EMS units within the Town of <br />Chapel Hill to support increased demand. Because of availability and price, land is a major <br />barrier to building facilities locally. The Chapel Hill Fire Department in partnership with Orange <br />County EMS is pursuing the development of a Town-owned parcel as a key strategy to <br />addressing this need for new facilities. <br />The single existing Town owned site under consideration for this feasibility study is located at the <br />corner of Formosa Lane and Legion Road in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, with the physical address <br />of 1721-1719 Legion Road. The area to be evaluated is in the southwest corner of the overall 11.5- <br />acre parcel of land with the legal description of Chapel Hill Memorial Cemetery. The currently <br />unused area to be studied is the approximate 1-acre space between Formosa Lane and the Cemetery <br />entrance drive situated across from Jackie Robinson Street. See below for a visual, where the <br />shaded box is an indication of the available space. The PIN of the lot pictured is 9799578934. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: A95AD77D-3FE2-4525-8B82-5AE1F0400C77
