PURPOSE:
Nancy Schmidt has petitioned for annexation of her property located at 4903 Trailwood Drive. 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. The site currently contains a single family dwelling.
City water is available by connecting to the existing 12-inch line located within Trailwood Drive. In order for this site to be served with water the owner would be responsible for all costs associated with connecting to the public line.
City sanitary sewer is available by connecting to the existing 12-inch line located to the east 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 by Pinecroft-Sedgefield Station #24 on Bishop Road and will be served by both Pinecroft-Sedgefield Station #24 and City Station #48 on West Vandalia 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 located to the east and west. This item was referred to Council by the Infrastructure Committee.
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 October 20, 2015, the City Council adopt a resolution calling a public hearing for November 17, 2015, on the annexation of the above-mentioned property to the City of Greensboro.
