PURPOSE:
Thomas W. Brown for the Mary G. Brown Estate has petitioned for annexation of their property located at 4622 McKnight Mill 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 residential.
City water will be available by connecting to the 8-inch water line at the end of Briar Run Drive on the south side of the site. Development of the site will also require the installation of a 12-inch line (approximately 1,690 feet) along the McKnight Mill Road frontage of the site to connect to the 12-inch within Hicone 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. City sewer will be available by connecting to the 8-inch outfall that crosses the east 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 extending and connecting to the public line.
The City’s Fire Department notes that this site is currently served by on Hicone Road (north) and upon annexation will be served by County Station #55 and City Station #59 on Reedy Fork Parkway (north). 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 north and south.
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 6-0-1. Accordingly, it is recommended that on November 14, 2017, 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.
