Good morning all,
After reviewing the proposed plan to vacate Enderle Center Dr and reading the opposition letter, please see my response-
• The area around Enderle Center Dr. is not within the fire risk zone outlined by CalFire. A wildfire is low risk to the area surrounding Enderle Center Dr. Thus, while during a wildfire near Peters Cyn, residents that adhere to evacuation warnings and follow direction given by the County Emergency Operations Center will have ample time to leave the area when requested by officials. Historical fire molding doesn’t show fire history in the area of Enderle Center Dr. The Paso Grande Fire of 1967 was the closet fire to the area, though the fire never reached past Skyline Drive (Lemon Heights) from the East and Lincoln Ave in Anaheim from the North. • The evaluation of access in and around the area of Enderle Center Dr. shows that emergency vehicles still have access to off Yorba and Seventeenth Street. Both access points meet all code regulations for fire apparatus width and turning radius.
Using our mapping program for response, units responding from the West would access Vandenberg Lane from Yorba St.; units from the East would access from Prospect Ave.
Please let me know if more information is needed for this response.
Thank you,
Mike

I don’t have Chief Morganstern’s email handy. Could you forward this to him and ask for his feedback on the claim that it’s a fire area.
