STOLOFF: So is that something 6 they should do tomorrow night? 7 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: You can come 8 whenever and we'll have to see where that fits into 9 the grand scheme of things. 10 MS. STOLOFF: Okay. Thank you. I do 11 have a question specifically to that green space on 12 the bottom right quadrant. So if all of that is 13 green space and there is a fire amongst that area, 14 how is the fire department protecting the buildings? 15 MR. ANDERSON: You're talking about 16 here (indicating)? 17 MS. STOLOFF: A little to the left. 18 MR. ANDERSON: Here (indicating). 19 MS. STOLOFF: Yeah. If a fire starts 20 there and it's heading towards those buildings, it's 21 a way to the street before anyone can stop it. 22 MR. ANDERSON: So if it's a forest 23 fire out here in the woods, you know, you have 24 Bakley Terrace which will have a line cleared, you 25 have a path that comes where the sewer line is for Page 167 1 the condo association that can get fire people in 2 there. I don't know how they fight fires, it's not 3 my job, but that's how -- they could also access it 4 from our street here and do things that way -- 5 MS. STOLOFF: Okay. 6 MR. ANDERSON: -- but I'm not sure how 7 they would fight a forest fire. 8 MS. STOLOFF: All right. Thank you. 9 MR. ANDERSON: Thank you. 10 CHAIRMAN BAGOFF: Thank you. 11 MS.
