SUBJECT: Comments for Caldwell Planning&Zoning Commission
June 11, 2003 Meeting
The Caldwell Fire Department (CFD) offers the following comments regarding the following cases
to come before the Caldwell Planning&Zoning Commission on June 11, 2003:
Case No: SUP-189-03
Applicant: Cosme Tapia
Project: Taco Wagon
Location: 423 Main Street
The CFD typically does not get involved code-wise with"mobile" equipment, in this case a
mobile food vending apparatus (aka: taco wagon). Our concern about this type of business, and
we have several in Caldwell, is that these mobile food vendors are not assigned a fixed address,
since they are "mobile"use. Even if a mobile vendor is allowed to occupy a lot we would not
assign them an address.
We have provided some addresses for temporary"structures"placed short-term on lots, such as
for shaved-ice stands or coffee kiosks,but these are structures without wheels and are therefore
fixed, not mobile. The CFD does not believe we should assign fixed addresses to mobile
vendors.
Because mobile vendors do not typically have any structure in which persons can enter(food is
vended from windows in the vehicle)there are limitations on applicability of the fire code. At
the very minimum we would request that such mobile food vendors have a 2A:40BC rated fire
extinguisher in their vehicle. If they do any deep-fat flying or grease-emitting cooking operations
within the vehicle, then we would highly recommend that they have an automatic hood and duct
fire extinguishing system installed. (We have a mobile food vendor trailer that is a semi-
permanent fixture at Caldwell High School, on school property. In that case we required an
automatic hood and duct fire extinguishing system.)
In this particular case (Tapia) we would have a concern that combustible materials, including
fencing materials, awnings, canopies, etc. be kept a reasonable distance from the taco wagon.

Case No: ANN-81-03, SUB-88(P)-03 and SUP-188-03
Applicant: Caldwell Family YMCA
Project: Health and fitness center
Location: W. side of Indiana Avenue,north of Ustick Road
The CFD has met with other city staff and the developers of this project and have discussed
several items of concern regarding this project. It is our belief that the Applicant will mitigate all
concerns as the project proceeds with most concerns being identified during the building plan
submission process. The CFD supports the Applicants requests for annexation, subdivision and
special use permit and finds this project a wonderful addition to the city.
