Meeting Date: September 6, 2012
Action Agenda
Item No. 5-k
SUBJECT: Approval of Expanded Cane Creek Fire Insurance District Map
DEPARTMENT: Emergency Services PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No
ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT:
Cane Creek Fire Insurance District Map F. R. Montes de Oca, 919-245-6140
David Sykes, 919-245-6125
PURPOSE: To approve the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District Map which has been expanded
to include properties within six road miles of Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Company Station 2.
BACKGROUND: Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Company recognized the need to acquire land
and build a fire station to enhance fire protection services for the property owners and residents
in the eastern area of the district. Property owners in that area were not eligible to be in the fire
insurance district because they were more than six road miles from the Orange Grove station
located on Orange Grove Road.
Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Company acquired land through a long term lease agreement with
Nutter Farms and completed Station 2 in July 2012. The station is located at 6801 Rocky Ridge
Road. The station is now equipped with apparatus and is awaiting certification from the North
Carolina Department of Insurance, Office of the State Fire Marshal. The insurance boundaries
for Station 2 need to be extended to six road miles from the station. Expansion of the insurance
boundaries will allow property owners in the eastern section of the district to be inside the
insurance district and take advantage of lower fire insurance rates if within six road miles of the
station.
Emergency Services staff worked with Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Company and Orange
County Information Technologies — Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to ensure an
accurate revised map of the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District. The map, identified as the
Cane Creek Fire Insurance District Map, is attached and has been 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 Fire Marshal can extend the fire insurance district to six road miles from Orange Grove
Volunteer Fire Company Station 2. The Emergency Services Workgroup approved the
construction of Orange Grove Volunteer Fire Company Station 2.

An analysis was conducted by staff to determine the number of property parcels affected by the
insurance district expansion. There will be 414 parcels with 460 addressable structures that will
be added to the Cane Creek Fire Insurance District as shown on the attached map. The added
parcels are shaded in green on the attached map and the black dots indicate addressable
structures that are not currently 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 tax rates will be reflected by Board
approval. Upon approval, property owners within six road miles of a fire station in the expanded
area will be eligible for lower fire insurance premiums.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the attached
Cane Creek Fire Insurance District Map for insurance purposes only.
