Jean,
I would agree with Tom. (getting rid of one space)  I'm not too worried about apparatus access in the rear of the structure.  The building is only a little bit larger than a single family home so we can live with the access in front and side.  The height of the building is less than 40 ft, making the roof access possible from those previously stated positions.
 
I'm fine with what they are proposing.
 
Thanks,
Keith

Jean -- My general sense is that access to the rear parking area is tight.  Accordingly, I would suggest that they eliminate one of the six parking spaces in the front, resulting in no change in the number of parking spaces on-site as compared to the approved plans.  I’m flexible about a HC sign.  If markings are well done, signs are not needed.  Although we know that markings do fade and therefore a sign would be beneficial.
We can discuss further at tomorrow’s meeting.
Thanks
