BACKGROUND: In past years, Eno Fire and Emergency Services, Inc. recognized the need to acquire land and build a fire station to enhance fire protection services to the property owners and residents in the northern areas of the district. Property owners in that area were not eligible to be in the fire insurance district because they received protection from Station 1 located on US Highway 70. Land was purchased and Station 2 was built in 2007 on St. Mary's Road near the intersection of Pleasant Green Road. The North Carolina Department of Insurance -Office of the State Fire Marshal has inspected the station, equipment and necessary documents for certification purposes. Eno Fire and Emergency Services, Inc.- Station 2 is now recognized as an approved and rated fire station and the need exists to extend the insurance boundaries to six road miles from Station 2. Expansion of the fire insurance boundaries will allow property owners in the northern areas of the district to be inside the insurance district. Staff has worked with Tax Assessor/Land Records staff to extend the insurance district and produce a revised East Orange Fire Insurance District map utilizing GIS software. That map is attached and identified as the East Orange Insurance District map. The map has been reviewed and approved by staff from the North Carolina Department of Insurance-Office of the State Fire Marshal Ratings and Inspections Division. Upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners, the Office of the State Marshal can legally extend the fire insurance district to six road miles from Eno Fire Station 2. An analysis was conducted by staff to determine the number of parcels of property affected by the insurance district expansion and 445 parcels of property will be added to the East Orange Fire Insurance District as shown in the attached East Orange Insurance District Modifications Map. The contrasting red shaded areas on the map are currently not in the insurance district. FINANCIAL IMPACT:. The approval of this item has no financial impact on the County. This is an administrative action only and no changes in fire protection, service delivery or fire tax rates will be reflected by Commissioner approval. Upon Commissioner and Department of Insurance approval, property owners in the expanded area will be eligible for lower fire insurance premiums. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Interim Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached East Orange Fire Insurance District Boundary map for insurance purposes only. e°f ~ ~J~ ~~ ~~ ~O ~Z .`~Cf~ Sa ~P~~i1N ~G N p'42 ~ ~cFsr~ ~J~ N ~ .g Eno FS ~2 lac 0JG Q~ ~~~~ h pZ~/ CABS OLD Y ~~ ~~ a" ~'„~ A~ ~~ y~~~O?G v 3',~~~ Ed ~' LEGEND G v } ~ ~ ~ ~ h Fire Stations °~o a RIGSBE w, <oy ~ c` g ~ a Description ~~' eq°orv ° ~ s r o ~ Eno 1 J pNN` ~ ~ c ~ ~ORkk, o `y Eno 2 ~ ~ O ~~'~' = o W cZi Qe+EY G~K q~ ~ `'~ N ~ Fire Districts pA R q1 off' ~ ~ Streets ~ ~ J p ER pwe East Orange Ins.
