PURPOSE:
Nozar Hashemzadeh, and Ted and Emma Ray have petitioned for annexation of their property located at 5529, 5531 and 5603 Sapp Road. In order to consider the annexation covered by this petition, the City Council must set a public hearing.
BACKGROUND:
This property is within the Tier 1 Growth Area (2013-2019) on the Growth Strategy Map in the Comprehensive Plan and considered contiguous since it abuts the City's primary corporate limits along its southern and eastern boundary.
The site is proposed to be developed for commercial use.
City water is available by connecting to the existing 12-inch line located within Sapp Road. In order for this site to be served with water the owner would be responsible for all costs associated with extending it to and across the frontage of the site, and for connecting to the public line.
City sanitary sewer is available by extending and connecting to the existing 8-inch outfall located 1,500 feet southeast of the property. In order for this site to be served with sanitary sewer the owner would be responsible for all costs associated with the off-site extension, the extension through the site to the abutting property, and for connecting to the public line.
The City's Fire Department notes that this site is currently served by Pinecroft-Sedgefield Station #23 on Mackay Road and will be served by City Station #52 on Meadowview Road upon annexation.
Upon full build-out, and if developed as a commercial property, the Police Department estimates can provide service with little difficulty.
Provision of other City services will involve a travel distance almost equal to that necessary to provide service to the previously-annexed property located to the east and south.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Initial service will be absorbed in the budget; future services will have an incremental effect on future budgets.
RECOMMENDATION / ACTION REQUESTED:
The Technical Review Committee (TRC) recommended this annexation to the Planning Board and to City Council. The Planning Board recommended this annexation at its March meeting on a vote of 5-0. Accordingly, it is recommended that on April 15, 2014, the City Council adopt a resolution calling a public hearing for May 6, 2014, on the annexation of the above-mentioned property to the City of Greensboro.
