H. FIRE PROTECTION <br />The Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department is responsible for providing fire protection and <br />suppression to all areas within the city limits in addition to providing contractual services to a <br />number of developed areas outside the city limits. The Department maintains the existing Fire <br />Station 5 located directly east of the Plan Area (adjoining the Ruby Hill development). There <br />are currently no public fire fighting facilities or fire hydrant systems within most of the Specific <br />Plan Area. <br />A new water trunk line will be developed within the existing Vineyard A venue right-of-way , <br />from the fire station (Turnout #6) westerly to connect with the existing line near Pietronave Lane <br />as shown in Figure VI-1. Hydrants will be installed along this new line at locations adjoining <br />proposed new development. This will be a shared Plan Area improvement. In addition , <br />individual developers will be required to provide local facilities both within their projects and <br />in the connecting streets as individual project improvements . Hydrants and supporting facilities <br />will be sized to provide a minimum capacity for residential uses of 1 ,500 gallons per minute <br />(2,500 gallons per minute for commercial uses) at a minimum of 20 pounds per square inch <br />sustained for two hours. Hydrants are generally installed at 400-foot intervals . <br />Residences built within the upper Bonde Zone elevations (above 540 feet , as discussed in the <br />Water section) will be required to provide individual storage and fire sprinkler systems, subject <br />to approval by the Fire Department. <br />The owners of Lots 13 through 32 will benefit from the recent construction of City Fire <br />Station 5 by the Ruby Hill developer, and will therefore be subject to reimbursement payments. <br />Following adoption of the Vineyard Corridor Specific Plan, the City will establish an appropriate <br />method of reimbursement, taking into account the number of proposed homes within the Plan <br />Area as well as the proposed park and elementary school. <br />I. SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL <br />The Pleasanton Garbage Service provides refuse collection for the Specific Plan Area. Refuse <br />generated by existing and future development will be collected and transported to the North <br />Vasco Landfill located north of Livermore. Monthly charges will be assessed to the user. No <br />new refuse collection or disposal facilities are required to serve the Plan Area. <br />85
