Title

Ione Fire Station

Description

The proposed project would include the construction of a new fire station for the City of Ione. The station would be approx. 8,250 sq. ft. (110 feet wide by 75 feet deep). The building will be set back 44 feet from the sidewalk on Preston Ave. The front garage doors for the fire apparatus will face Preston Ave. and the rear doors will allow the fire apparatus to respond out onto Waterman Road or drive around the building for exit onto Preston Ave. The fire trucks and emergency medical vehicles would enter onto SR 104 for events and would return from an event and access the site from the Waterman Road entrance to avoid backing and potential traffic incidents on Preston Ave. Fire Station Warning Signs will be installed with a flashing light that will be turned on when responding to events. The Fire Station Warning Signs will be controlled by a timer/ switch. Public access will be provided via Preston Ave. or Waterman Road, which will avoid the need to put in a turning lane. The building and exterior materials will be compatible with the existing character of the surrounding neighborhood, which is primarily single family residential. Both the front and rear aprons will be cement and the front and rear parking areas will be surfaced with blacktop. The south side driveway will also be constructed of blacktop.
