Re: Boynton Beach Fire Rescue Station #5/ EOC
Community Design Plan Appeal (CDP A)
Response to TART Review Comment #98
To Whom It May Concern:
It is necessary to orient the apparatus bay doors as proposed (facing the street) for this
facility due to its use and operations.
The "Fire Rescue Station/EOC" serves as an emergency response/ emergency operations
facility and requires direct access to public/private streets in the shortest time period
possible (response time) for its emergency vehicles.
The proposed orientation of the apparatus bay doors provides the most efficient and
effective way for the emergency vehicles to operate during an emergency.
In an effort to mitigate the appearance of the overhead doors from the street, we have added
the following features:
. Protruding colunms along the face of the apparatus bays to minimize the linear effects of
the doors and apparatus bay fa<;ade.
. We have several color accents throughout the building fa<;ade that will blend with the
doors which give it a consistent, yet enhanced, look.
. Additional landscaping materials, above and beyond requirements, were added to
either side of the apparatus bay drive to aid in the screening of the bay doors.
. Width of apparatus bay drive reduced at intersection with the street to minimize the
effects of the overall driveway.
Based on all of the above, we are requesting your acceptance of the proposed apparatus bay
doors' orientation.
