PURPOSE:
Robert, Joyce, Anthony, Tania and Tammy Ruffolo have petitioned for annexation of this property located at 4316 Burlington 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 currently contains one single-family dwelling.
City water will be available by connecting to the 12-inch line within Burlington 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 sanitary sewer service will be available by connecting to the 72-inch outfall located approximately 3,500 feet to the south. 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 McLeansville Station #47 on Frieden Church Road (northeast) and City Station #57 on Mount Hope Church Road (southeast). Upon annexation the site will be served by City Station #57. Service will improve to this location if annexed.
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 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 September meeting on a vote of 7-0.
Accordingly, it is recommended that on November 20, 2018, 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.
