PURPOSE:
Robert, Michelle and Denise McCuiston, and Judy Shreve have petitioned for annexation of their property located at 2126 and 2146 Scott Road. In order to consider the annexation covered by this petition, the City Council must set a public hearing.
BACKGROUND:
This contiguous annexation is within the Tier 1 Growth Area on the Growth Strategy Map in the Comprehensive Plan.
City water will be available by connecting to and extending the 12-inch waterline located approximately 2,300 feet west of the site. 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 10-inch outfall located along the rear of the site. However, this line in not in service, and no connection can be made on this line until it has been approved for 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 Fire District #13, however City Station #14 (southwest of the subject parcel on Summit Avenue) is first in due to a reciprocal response agreement. Upon annexation, the property will continue to be served by City Station #14. The response time will remain the same.
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 south and 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 September 15, 2020, the City Council adopt a resolution calling a public hearing for October 20, 2020, on the annexation of the above-mentioned property to the City of Greensboro.
