PURPOSE:
Tim McGehee has petitioned for annexation of his property located at 104 East Vandalia 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 and considered contiguous since it abuts the City’s primary corporate limits along its northern and western boundaries. The site is currently vacant and it is proposed to be developed for commercial use.
City water is available by extending and connecting to the existing 8-inch line located within South Elm-Eugene Street. 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 connecting to the existing 8-inch line located within either South Elm-Eugene Street or the north of the site. In order for this site to be served with sanitary sewer the owner would be responsible for all costs associated with connecting to the public line.
The City’s Fire Department notes that this site is currently served, and upon annexation will continue to be served, by City Station #61 on West Vandalia Road.
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 north and 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 September meeting on a vote of 6-0. Accordingly, it is recommended that on November 17, 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.
COMMITTEE ACTION: This item was referred to Council by the Infrastructure Committee.
