PURPOSE:
Lady Luck, LLC has petitioned for annexation of their property located at 5207 Burlington Road. The City Council is required to hold a public hearing on this petition before considering its approval.
BACKGROUND:
This property is within the Tier 1 Growth Area (2013-2019) on the Growth Strategy Map in the Comprehensive Plan, is considered a satellite annexation, and currently has a single family home that will remain.
City water is available by connecting to the existing 16-inch main located within Burlington 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 16-inch HDPE along Burlington Road. 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 the McLeansville Fire Station #47 on Frieden Church Road and will be served by the City Station #57 on Mount Hope Church Road upon annexation.
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 to the west.
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 February meeting on a vote of 7-0.
Accordingly, it is recommended that on April 7, 2015, the City Council hold a public hearing to receive public comment and to consider adoption of an ordinance annexing the above-mentioned property into the City of Greensboro.
