PURPOSE:
Richard V. And Julie J. Greene Revocable Living Trust has petitioned for annexation of their property located at portions of 4104 and 4106 South Elm-Eugene Street. 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 north boundary.
The site is currently vacant and it is proposed to be developed with 80 multifamily (apartment) residential dwelling units.
City water is available by connecting to the existing 12-inch line located within South Elm-Eugene Street approximately 300 feet north of the site. 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 approximately 2,600 feet to the northwest of the site. 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 (and upon annexation will continue to be) served City Station #61 on West Vandalia Road and County Station #24 on Bishop Road through an existing reciprocal agreement.
The Police Department estimates it 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.
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.
