driveway prior to Certificate of Occupancy.

HiJohn,
This driveway is quite simitar to a lot of driveways in that area. Our department has, and witt atways, retain a 4-
wheet drive Type 1 engine that responds to structure fires in our rural district and is housed in Station 73. For this
property, I woutd ask for a widening of the turn and putt-out area so that vehictes two vehictes can fit easity side by
side. I would atso ask for att vegetation be removed sft back on both sides of the road.
I hope they are buitding with witdfire resitiency as this area is red hot on the map! Make sure they have a good
address marker on the county road.
