City of Everett - SPU #3-92 Fire Station - Page �- 9. The proposed fire station will be a temporary facility until the permanent station is developed. The City did not indicate how long "temporary" was or when and where the permanent fire station would be buiit. 10. The City indicated that because the proposed structure will be a temporary faciliry, it will not have the amenities of a pertnanent fire statior. The fire station will not include a hose tower. 11. The proposed fire station will front 112th Street S.E. and 14th Avenue. These are existing streets that provide access to the res�.iential area immediately south of Siiver Lake. The streets are near commercial areas that have access off these streets. Utilities, including sewer, •�rater, and electrical utilities, are located within the streets and are adequate to provi�e services for the proposed te�mporary fire station. 12. Minimal traffic impact will resuit irom the employees of the proposed fire station. Approximately 16 daily trips will be generated by the employees. Traffic, however, may be impacted by the use of fire trucks. With each response, the Fire Department can control traffic that could result in stoppage of traffic while the fire truck and other emergency vehicles respond to a ca11. These responses, however, will be sporadic and will not create a constant backup of vaffic in the area. 13. Seven parking stalls are being provided for the three-man crew which satisfies the required parking standards based on need. Parking is adequate to serve the site. 14. The proposed fire station will be designed to minimize overall visual impects. Landscaping is proposed, including the use of natural existing vegetation. The facility will not be of significant height and wiil not create a snadow impact on more sensRive land uses in the area. The design of the proposed fi�e station is compatible wfth the suRounding land use. 15. The Planning Department submitted that a landscaping plan will be required to create a visual separation of the proposed fire station frcm the street and adiacent uses. A preliminary landscaping plan is altached, but a more detailed landscaping plan will be necessary. 16. Access to the site will be directly off 14th Avenue. Response to fire alarms will be off 14th Avenue, north and south, and then onto 112th Street S.E. for east and west. 17. There will be a small directional sign located on-site. The sign will not be an impact to the adjoining praperties.
