The setback is probably driven by two concerns; first the servicing of fire gear if frequently done out side, when ever weather permits, chainsaws, hydraulic equipment, demo saws, and other hardware like to have a place to spread out. Secondly placing a the building onthe street with parking on it increases the risk of destruction from terrorist attack… As for off street parking I think first responders desrve a place to park and not have to hunt for a spot while your house is burning.

Keep in mind that this corner (Sheridan & Lincoln) is one of the main entrances into Bricktown.

Bricktown deserves better.

This current design just wreaks of cut corners and cheapness. Ugh.

I understand the large parking area in the back, but there is no reason for this station to have a deeper setback than many of the OKC Fire Dept’s suburban fire stations.

I gotcha. Thanks for the correction. I read it again and understand it now.

I was stating that the bricktown Residence Inn is a major flaw being located away from Reno Ave., not to mention the overall design of it. The fact that it was ever approved is beyond me.

I was only comparing it to the Hampton Inn as one being urban and the other is sub-urban in design and site placement.

I agree that is should be closer with maybe some parking on the side, but I am not upset with the layout. Much better than the previous proposal.

LJ, I agree on the Hampton Inn, but the Residence Inn is located at least six car lengths from the street. Here is a link to their photo tour: http://www.marriott.com/hotels/photo-tours.mi?marshaCode=okcbt&pageID=HWHOM&imageID=1

Why can’t this buidling be located closer to the street?

Much like the Lower Bricktown Residence Inn vs. the bricktown Hampton Inn. Closer to the street is a more urban in design.
