NHC Fire Services Comments:
1. Fire Services agrees with the DOT plan for the roundabout. “An additional leg should be
incorporated into the roundabout, extending the stub road to the property line to support future
interconnectivity.” This stub should allow for access from the back side (NW) of the fire station.
The current design for access to the fire station does not meet our access requirements and
does not allow for an alternate departure route for fire apparatus if unable to leave from the
front apron onto Market Street.
Response: Additional access to the fire station has been provided.
2. All other comments will come with plan review.
Response: Noted.
