Is there an emergency access road for the proposed Hilliard well site?
The primary entrance to the proposed pad site would be off FM 2499, across from Lake Flower just to the south. The emergency access point would be from Aberdeen, and the gated and secured road would serve only that purpose. The philosophy behind an emergency access road is to provide separation between the primary and emergency access points so that in an instance where the primary access is unavailable (e.g., automobile accident, power line down, etc.), emergency access is not also prevented. Extending Aberdeen to FM 2499 and having that entrance serve as the emergency access point may not provide the separation needed. In this case, providing emergency access via Aberdeen to Spinks affords the ability to leave the area during an emergency to the east without relying on FM 2499. It also provides good access to the site from Fire Station #5. Aberdeen was constructed as a four lane divided and allows for emergency capacity. The Town is evaluating the benefits of using the traffic signal
