The cul-de-sac of the 42 lot subdivision wlll be Ï150 ft. -long whlch ha almost twloe as long as those set hn a pollcy by council ln 1983 of 750 ft. and thie Pire Depar- tmnents preference of 300 "If the road was ta coilapse or be dug up for somethilng like a busted watermaln, aur fire trucks would be unable ta get ta a fire if it was beyond that,"l sald Crouch.' "This would frce flreflghters .ta carry hases the distance required to get ta the fire and if it was 1,000 feet that is qulte a distance." But the Chiefsald that he not the only reason be ls oppcsed. "If thre or four trucks are cafled tofight a bouse fim-, when we set up we cut off the ac- ceas of anyone wanting to get out," he said. The Chlef said this bas happened before and the people wanting ta leave the street ln. their car always get mad at tbe ffre department. "Tbey bave ta walt and tiiey don't like that," besald. But accordlng ta councillor'Jas Bugelli, chairman of the ad- ministrative commit- tee, whlch recommen- ded the subdivision ta couneil, the 750 ft. pollcy is subject tochange. "With the topograpby and the layout of the land there waa very lit- tie we could do. Engineers and public works .lasked at the lengtb of the cul-de-sac and that was the oniy way the subdivision could prcceed," said the councillor. Accordlng ta Bugelli, the subdivision willi hi a positive step towards providlng essentiai ser- vices to an area of the tawn adjacent ta the subdivision. 1"This wlll help get sewera into an area cf the town where they have been screamlng for tbem."I He sald that area is west of Thlckson Rd., east of Bowman. "'This is part of a puz- zle wblch wlll help. alleviate another problem. We look at thlngs in totality not as single pieces," he ad- ded. The fact that the cui- de-sac is tas long does not mean those people living on tbe street will bave no fire protection sald Bugelli but Chief Crouch sald he wlsbed a second accesa road ta the cul-de-sac had been deslgned. Crouch sald this la the fis-st thne council bas approved a cul-de-sac longer than 750 ft. sînce the pollcy waa approved ln 1983.
