Sterling Neighborhood Master Plan July 2010 23 Continuing the community legacy and leadership

Sterling Neighborhood Master Plan July 2010 4.2.2 Water and Sewer As specific plans develop for projects within the community, Parker Sewer should be consulted to negotiate replacement cost and schedules. There are three main sewer lines connecting to the ReWa trunk line along Brushy Creek. These main arteries will require replacement and/or retrofitting as development activity is increased in the community. These mains, while owned by Parker Sewer, also transport sanitary sewer from many of the City of Greenville’s sewer lines. The Greenville Water System will upgrade water lines as necessary to facilitate development and as streets are improved. Any new development will require new water lines at the expense of the developer. 4.2.3 Stormwater Management The Sterling Neighborhood between Dunbar, Anderson Road and Valentine Street has minimal storm drainage to control runoff. As this portion of the community is revitalized, significant improvements will be required to accommodate stormwater management. A wet detention pond, shown as “The Cove” on the Master Plan, is proposed to provide detention and water quality for approximately 64 acres of the community. This detention pond will be designed to help reduce flooding at the intersection of Valentine Street and Averill Street. A Schematic Stormdrain Piping System has been developed to demonstrate a future stormwater drainage system for this portion of Sterling (see map on next page). It is recommended that a drainage study be prepared for the community to prepare a final design of the stormwater basin and appropriate pipe sizing for the road network as street improvements commence. Further analysis of several existing culverts on Valentine Street and Martin Row should be performed during the master drainage study. See Appendix A for neighborhood stormwater drainage maps. 4.2.4 Parks, Trails, and Recreation The Greenville County Recreation District has developed an overall master plan for expansion of the Swamp Rabbit Trail system, including creating trails along Brushy Creek from Anderson Road to Easley Bridge Road. The Swamp Rabbit Trail Master Plan includes additional connector routes for connection with the Sterling Community Center and St. Francis Hospital. The Leadership Greenville Class of 2010 is currently working on the Sterling Community Center Connector Trail. The Sterling Master Plan also recommends a connection from Brushy Creek to “The Cove,” continuing northeast to Dunbar Street. Sidewalks and a speed table on Anderson Road are recommended to provide for safe pedestrian access from the Fuller Normal School to the Sterling Community Center. Park space is currently limited to the Sterling Community Center and Sterling Field Park. Development of “The Cove” detention pond will provide open space and potential recreational opportunities. An amphitheater at the intersection of Minus Street and Dunbar Street will create additional open space. Community Gardens are recommended for the floodplain area along Brushy Creek adjoining the Swamp Rabbit Trail in the southwest corner of the neighborhood. 24 Continuing the community legacy and leadership
