The work accomalished thus far is satisfactory and as ti•�e t�ad <br /> requested. The purpose of the road is Lo permit fire departm�nt access to �"��,,�,� <br /> the fire hydrants around the building and to the �ire departrr,ent sprinE;ler ��� <br /> eonner.tions mounted on the building. The Uniiorm Fire Code states that access <br /> ro,d�;rays for fire apparatus sl�all be not less than 20 feet of unobstr��.:ted 1� / <br /> wid,ii uith all-ti�rea�her driving surfzce capable of supporting the impused loads l�� <br /> of firc apparatus. ` <br /> The landscape architects have assured us that the finish topping of bzauty <br /> bai•{: on the road�•;ay does indced constitutc an all-�•ieather driviny surface. <br /> 1 continua to harbor serious doubts about this material as an all-�:�eati�er <br /> driving surFace. <br /> I have expressed my concerns to A1 Clar4: and he suggested that I pass them <br /> on to you. I am also coacerned about the appzarance once a 15 ton fire engine <br /> has drit�en over i:he roadriay. <br /> The fire�department makes inspectiun toin•s for familiarization and fire p�'even- <br /> tion of al�i of the industries in Eoerett. I vrou'�d expect that a�e �iill do ti�e <br /> sam_ thing at ihe Fluke plant u�ilizin9 the perim^ter road. <br /> 7he Ciiy oF f.verett Engineering u_partmeni ti�;as p�lled �ti�h regard to tne use <br /> ofi beauty bark as a road surface. The consensus vras that the bar}; material <br /> oiould hold mo�isture keeping the roadtiaay base soft. Th�y also felt thc 4reigl�t <br /> of the heavy vehicle ��iould result in a "pumping" action that would mix th; <br /> hark n��ulch �iiLfi thc rock and further destroy the road bed. <br /> ? reaily fcel i:hat a third upinion is in order. Perhaps an impartial civil <br /> en;ineer could help dec'ide this matter. If you have any thoughts or idea� <br /> cor�cerning the perimeter road, I r�ould appreciate h�aring fr�� you or A1 Clarl: <br /> mighL convey any feelings you have or the construction o� th�� road:�a;. <br /> Sin�.rcly, � ,� <br /> �/��L�C�� �•-D��53':�a <br /> 4;alt:cr H.
