PURPOSE:
Robert, Michelle and Denise McCuiston, and Judy Shreve have petitioned for annexation of their property located at 2126 and 2146 Scott Road. The City Council is required to hold a public hearing on this petition before considering its approval.
BACKGROUND:
This contiguous annexation is within the boundary of Growth Tier 1 on the Anticipated Growth Maps 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 Zoning Commission and to City Council. The Zoning Commission recommended approval of this annexation at its September meeting on a vote of 8-0.
Accordingly, it is recommended that 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.
