PURPOSE:
Anchor Management, LLC has petitioned for annexation of their property located at a portion of 3505 McConnell 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.
The site is currently vacant and it is proposed to be developed for residential use.
City water is available by connecting to the existing 16-inch line located along the south side of McConnell 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 connecting to the existing 24-inch outfall that runs along the west side 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 served, and will continue to be served upon annexation, by City Station #56 on Franklin Boulevard (west).
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 west and 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 will consider this annexation at their November meeting. Accordingly, it is recommended that on January 19, 2016, 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.
