PURPOSE:
Karen Van Dyke, Maurice and Hilda Bason, Kelly and Shirley Gilbreath, and Stephen and Jeremee Curtis have petitioned for annexation of their property located at 132, 132-Near, 134 and 136 Wolftrail Road. The portion of interstate highway right-of-way is located between the Wolftrail Road property and Greensboro’s current city limits and is annexed as part of the request. 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 multifamily.
City water will be available by extending and connecting to the 12-inch waterline within Wolftrail 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 extending and connecting to the 8-inch outfall which crosses the northeastern portion of the site. The owner is advised that this will involve extending sewer across the property to service the upstream lots. 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 City Station #61 on West Vandalia Road (northeast) followed by Pinecroft Sedgefield Station #24 on Bishop Road (southwest), upon annexation the site will be served by City Station #61 on West Vandalia Road (northeast), and service to the site should improve.
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.
BUDGET IMPACT:
Initial service will be absorbed in the budget; future services will have an incremental effect on future budgets. The Police Department estimates that they can provide service with an estimated cost of $75,027.05 dollars per year for police personnel and equipment upon full build-out.
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 January meeting on a vote of 8-0-1.
Accordingly, it is recommended that on March 19, 2019, 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.
