PURPOSE:
Jim Allen, Inc. has petitioned for annexation of their property located at a portion of 138 Flemingfield Road. The portion of right-of-way containing Flemingfield Road is located between the site and Greensboro’s current city limits and is annexed as part of the request. 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 is available by connecting to the 12-inch line located within Flemingfield 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 is available by connecting to the 15-inch sewer outfall which crosses 138 Flemingfield Road. 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 Greensboro City Station #63 on Burlington Road. Upon annexation, City Station #63 will continued to serve the property. Service to this location will remain the same if annexed.
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 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 Zoning Commission and to City Council. The Zoning Commission recommended approval of this annexation at its April 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.
