problems. May be necessary to acquire off-site easements.
Fire Service: .
Manchester Fire Station, Company #2. Provide County water and fire hydrant
placement for fire protection purposes in compliance with nationally
recognized standards (i.e., National Fire Protection Association and
Insurance Services Office).
The proposed zoning and land uses will generate additional need for fire
protection services. While the co-applicant (Mr. Tunnell) has indicated a
willingness to offer the cash proffer for fire protection, the proper~y
owner (Ms. Robinson) is not willing to offer the proffer at this time.
Transportation:

it is difficult to anticipate traffic generation. Based on fast food trip
rateJ development could generate approx1mately 3,793 average daily trips.
Based on office and warehouse trip rates for the existing structure and
fast food trip rate for the remaining property, development could generate
approximately 2,376 average daily trips. These vehicles wi 11 be
