Talking to the FireMarshal to build house on side lot

[Jackson Pontsler]

Hello everyone first time posting here.  My wife and I are wanted to build on a very sizeable lot on the side of our house.  When I talked to the city of Midvale there a quick mention that the fire marshal needs to approve and get the firetruck down a private road.  When I checked with our neighbors it was mentioned that previous owners couldn't build it because the fire marshal disapproved.  I've look around the neighborhood and found duplexes that can only be found through a narrower private road than us and no place for the truck to turn around.  Basically any advice for my meeting with the fire marshal and hopefully get his ok for me to build on my side lot. 

P.S.  I know why the fire marshal has his opinions and I respect that (because that way everyone is safe)
