Staff recommends conditional sewer availability for three parcels on Coleman Road; annexation contingencies required
Summary
City staff recommended granting sewer availability to three parcels adjacent to the urban growth boundary with conditions including an annexation agreement for future lots, compliance with city standards, and county coordination; applicant supports staff conditions.
City staff and planning staff recommended approval of sewer availability for three large parcels at 1360 Coleman Road during the Feb. 25 work session, subject to contingencies because the parcels currently lie outside the city’s urban growth boundary (UGB).
Staff said the request is to reserve sewer capacity for a proposed subdivision that would convert three existing parcels into eight lots. Because the parcels are outside the Franklin UGB and not currently eligible for annexation, staff recommended a condition package: an annexation agreement for each future lot using the city’s standard annexation agreement and a commitment to add the properties to the UGB at the next coordinating‑committee update; an availability agreement requiring that development be built to city standards; county notification to the city when county building permits are issued to avoid conflicts with city infrastructure; and giving the city authority to approve certificates of occupancy for constructed residences. Staff said the contingencies would be borne by the developer and that similar approaches were used in prior sewer‑availability approvals.
Applicant Adam Balish (Bull Investment Company) told the board he supported staff’s recommendations and conditions. Staff noted that the terrain and access could ultimately play into the larger Harlan Farm area planning, and that an update to the urban growth boundary occurs on a roughly five‑year cycle; the next coordinating committee review could consider adding the parcels to the UGB.
No formal vote was taken in the work session; staff said the matter will be processed with the recommended conditions and presented according to the standard review timelines.
