Title
Daugherty Property HWY 127N - Sewer Connection request or annexation
Body
SUMMARY: The property owner of Tax Map 062 parcel 100.00 has requested outside City sewer connection. They are looking to construct 80 to 100 residential apartments on the property, sometime in 2027. They were made aware of the capacity issues, North of Interstate 40 on Highway 127. These issues should be addressed and remedied before the end of 2026. Therefore, capacity should not be an issue for their development. The City ordinance does allow the connection to sewer outside the City limits, if an existing sewer line is in place and available to the property requesting AND annexation is not feasible. To annex the property, an approximate 4,000 feet corridor annexation would be required.
There are three options for the Planning Commission to recommend:
1. Annex the property by corridor annexation
2. Allow outside City sewer connection and deny annexation
3. Deny annexation and deny sewer connection
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff is not in favor of a 4,000-foot corridor annexation. Since capacity will not be an issue, by the time projected for construction and there is an existing sewer line in front of the property, Staff recommends Option 2.
Recommended Action
NECESSARY PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: Review and make a recommendation to staff on how to proceed with the request.
