OCOEE, FLORIDA 34761-2216 Ron Strosnider Business 656-7796 Fire Chief EMERGENCY 911 MEMORANDUM To: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners From: R. D. Strosnider, Fire Chief Date: September 18, 1998 Re: MELVA ST. CLOSING We have surveyed the area in question, namely Melva St., Mack St. and Christine Ave. to determine the feasibility of a road closure. This area is supported by two (2) fire hydrants, one on the corner of Melva St. and Rewis St., and the next closest located at Security Cir. The closure of Melva St. at Mack St., and Christine Ave. at Mack St. would limit a significant number of residential properties to only one hydrant. In addition to the fire flow limitations, access would be severely restricted on Melva St. and Christine Ave., not allowing the Fire Department the ability to place the appropriate apparatus at the involved structure. Fire apparatus would also have to back out of the street, once committed to a call, reducing response time and increasing the possibility of an accident. Taking this into consideration, the Fire Department cannot endorse the closure of Melva St. or Christine Ave. at Mack St. Please let me know if I can provide you with any additional information.

Shira, P.E., City Engineer/Utilities Director SUBJECT: Melva Street Based on recent contract prices for paving work, and due to the small size of the job, I estimate that construction of the proposed turnaround area at the north end of Melva Street would cost approximately $3,600.00 Agenda 9-01-98 Item VII C "CENTER OF GOOD LIVING-PRIDE OF WEST ORANGE" MAYOR•COMMISSIONER S.SCOTT VANDERGRIFT Ocoee COMMISSIONERS �` '` CITY OF OCOEE DANNY HOWELL _ V O 150 N.LAKESHORE DRIVF.

" QT CITY MANAGER 'fq�f,G000 \, ELLIS SHAPIRO MEMORANDUM DATE: August 26, 1998 TO: The Honorable Mayor and Board of City Commissioners FROM: James W. Shira, P.E., City Engineer/Utilities Director SUBJECT: Melva Street Closure We tried several alternatives to provide a turnaround at the end of Melva Street. A cul-de-sac that meets the city's criteria, such as would be required of any developer, does not fit without taking down an existing home This is shown on attachment"A". The largest cul-de-sac that will fit without affecting more than one property is shown on attachment `B". The 35 foot radius provided by this cul-de-sac is not sufficient for turning large trucks such as fire and garbage collection trucks. Both of these types of vehicle would still have to back down the street to get back to Flewelling. A hammerhead turn is shown on attachment"C". This is similar to the one installed in Silver Glen subdivision, and would allow large trucks to reverse direction at the end of Melva Street. We contacted the owner of the property at the northeast end of Melva Street to see if he would donate the required property to the city. He was not interested in a donation,but said he might consider selling the property if the price was acceptable. An appraisal of this parcel will cost approximately $2,500.00, and would be charged to the Contingency account. Please advise whether to proceed with ordering an appraisal.

Shira, P.E. �y City Engineer/Utilit s birector SUBJECT: Closure of Melva Street As directed, the Public Works Director, Fire Chief, Police Chief and City Engineer examined this street to see what effect the closure of the north end of Melva Street would have on their various operations. Attached is a memo from Assistant Fire Chief Firstner, describing the problem they would have if this road was closed. Their recommendation is that Melva Street not be closed. The Public Works Department does not support closure because of the difficulty they would have backing garbage trucks out of what would become a dead end street. Similarly, the Police Department did not support closure, fearing that officers could become trapped at the end of this dead end. From a general traffic circulation standpoint, I do not support this closure, since we try as much as possible to disperse traffic onto as many streets as possible, as opposed to concentrating traffic. In summary, none of the departments that would be affected by the closure of Melva Street supports the closure. Attachment THE PRIDE OF WEST ORANGE g OCOEE FIRE DEPARTMENT 125 N. BLUFORD AVE.
