PURPOSE:
Charlotte and Donald Dillon have petitioned for annexation of their property located at 1898 Cude Road and 8005 Leabourne Road. In order to consider the annexation covered by this petition, the City Council must set a public hearing.
BACKGROUND:
This noncontiguous annexation is within the Tier 1 Growth Area (2013-2019) on the Growth Strategy Map in the Comprehensive Plan.
City water will be available by connecting to the 16-inch line located within Leabourne 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 12-inch line located along the north side of Leabourne Road. The applicant has been advised that a 12-inch line will need to be extended from the existing manhole southward and southwestward to the property boundary. 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 Colfax Fire Department Station #16 (southwest of the subject parcel on West Market Street). Upon annexation, the property will continue to be served by Colfax Fire Department Station #16 in accordance with a paid contract. City Station #20 (southeast of the subject parcel on West Market Street) will also respond to the property. Service to this location would remain the same for single unit responses. Multi-unit responses would slightly improve.
The Police Department can provide comparable response service to the property under consideration 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 east.
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 June meeting on a vote of 8-0.
Accordingly, it is recommended that on July 17, 2020, the City Council adopt a resolution calling a public hearing for August 18, 2020, on the annexation of the above-mentioned property to the City of Greensboro.
