PURPOSE:
Erin and Jason Cardwell have petitioned for annexation of their property located at 410 East Vandalia 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 either connecting to the 8-inch water line within East Vandalia 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 8-inch line located approximately 290 feet to the west. Based on the topography, a small pump station may be needed and the public line extended in order to obtain service. 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 Pleasant Garden Station #3. Upon annexation the site will be served by City Station #61, and service to the site will improve.
The Police Department estimates that they 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 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 February meeting on a vote of 8-0.
Accordingly, it is recommended that on April 16, 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.
