PURPOSE:
Demetrios Dascalakis has petitioned for annexation of his property located at 389 Fairystone Drive. 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 residential.
City water will be available by extending and connecting to the 8-inch line located in Humble 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 sewer line that crosses 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 Pleasant Garden Station #3, upon annexation will be served by City Station #61 on West Vandalia Road, and travel time will improve.
The Police Department can provide response service to the property under consideration as comparable to existing service as of the date of annexation. Additional resources may be required as development on the subject property and/or additional annexation in the general area occurs.
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 August 2019 meeting on a vote of 8-0.
Accordingly, it is recommended that on February 18, 2020, 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.
