I have been trying for about a week to find information about this: I am designing a fire station whose site is on the side of a hill. Right now I have a change in elevation of 2 feet between the apparatus floor and the road, with a distance of 42.25 feet. Which gives me about a 4.7% grade.
well this time the question was omitted, and this post now just states a situation. maybe just a spambot copying posts before doing its work of offering us discounted rendering services.
if not, my recommendation is just to add a performance spec for site work that the driveway shall be graded to accommodate a standard fire truck. let the hard questions pass to the experts.

so... Let's a poll here. What's the most likely scenario?
you are correct.

Seems it would only be a 4.7% grade if you go in a straight line to the street...
