PURPOSE:
Sun Capital, Inc., Residence Development Co., and Beverly Roberts have petitioned for annexation of their property located at 5812, 5908 and 5910 Lake Brandt Road and 2000 and 2020 Trosper 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 proposed use for this site is to be developed as commercial / retail.
City water will be available by connecting to the 12-inch line located in Lake Brandt Road or the 8-inch line located in Trosper Road. In order for this site to be served with water the owner would be responsible for all costs associated with extending and connecting to the public line. Due to the depth of the existing sewer lines, City sanitary sewer service will be available by installing an outfall and sewer lift station that would connect to the existing system. It is suggested that the owner contact a private engineering firm to verify if it is possible to tie into the existing gravity sewer line. In order for this site to be served with sanitary sewer the owner would be responsible for all costs associated with extending and connecting to the public line.
The City’s Fire Department notes that this site is currently served by Summerfield Station #39 and upon annexation will be served by City Station #41 on Lake Brandt Road (south). For multi-unit incidents, service will improve.
The Police Department 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, south 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 July meeting on a vote of 7-0-1. Accordingly, it is recommended that on September 20, 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.
