Mayor Rowland thanked Ms. Lawson and stated he will continue to work for her to meet with Larry Wallace to discuss her career path. He also thanked the Boys and Girls Club for changing one life at a time. Mayor Rowland stated today’s meeting is being held as a public hearing to hear public comments concerning a request to rezone 2.97 acres located on Pleasant Grove Church Rd (Tax Map 56 Parcel 51.10) from R1 Single Family Residential Zoning District to CH Commercial Highway Zoning District. Mayor Rowland asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the rezoning. No one spoke. Mayor Rowland asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the rezoning. No one spoke. Mayor Rowland declared the public hearing to be closed. p. 362 REGULAR SESSION APRIL 10, 2017 PAGE -2- MINUTE BOOK 28 Mayor Rowland stated today’s meeting is being held as a public hearing to hear public comments concerning a request by the adjoining property owners to abandon a portion of unopened right-of-way running parallel to Church St SE and South Ocoee St and between 13th St SE and 14th St SE. Mayor Rowland asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the abandonment. No one spoke. Mayor Rowland then asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the abandonment. No one spoke. Mayor Rowland declared the public hearing to be closed. Mayor Rowland stated today’s meeting is also being held as a public hearing to hear public comments concerning a resolution to annex about 5.1 acres located at Michigan Avenue Rd and Foxfire Dr NE and a resolution to adopt a Plan of Service for the annexation area. Mayor Rowland asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the annexation and Plan of Service. Attorney Travis Henry, who is representing the property owner, stated the front portion of the property is currently located inside the city and the back portion is the county. The owner is asking for annexation so it will all be in the city. The front part is currently zoned R2. The back part is zoned FAR. Under the FAR zoning in the county his client can currently construct duplexes, two family dwellings, install mobile homes, single family double-wide and even certain commercial businesses, which includes a drug store, laundry mat or carwash, which are all currently permitted in the FAR zoning. His client is seeking to make this a low-density R2 zoning that is fully in the city. This would, in some way offer protection for the residents. Our position is it would be positive for everyone, the city for tax revenue, for his client to be able to have a uniform zoning and a parcel that is fully in the city and positive for the adjoining property owners to prevent the other possible uses that are available today. We are respectively asking that this property be annexed and zoned R2. Councilman Banks stated he has received comments from residents of Foxfire Subdivision that this is just a step towards the City annexing their subdivision. He asked for Mr. Henry to explain annexation law. Mr. Henry stated the property owner has to be willing and it has to be contiguous to what is currently in place. In this situation this is something that his client is asking to do. He appreciates the concerns of the residents but I don’t believe that is a legitimate concern to be annexed into the City. Councilman Banks stated a referendum would have to be held. Mr. Henry stated yes. Mayor Rowland asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the annexation and Plan of Service. Tim Murphy stated his lives in Foxfire and this is his home. There is one way in and one way out. He can understand why the property owner wants it all in the city, so he can probably get more for his property but it’s not going to be a plus for Foxfire. That road is a county owned road. He doesn’t want a bunch of junky condos. We have paid good money for our homes and we want to keep the value. If they wanted something like that they need to put their own road in and not use Foxfire. He is against this and will always be against annexation. Mayor Rowland stated it seems as if most of you have the same message and let’s try to hear from more people. Brandi King stated she lives in Foxfire and represents the folks here and the folks from Millcreek, and wouldn’t say we disagree with this gentleman’s idea but we want to expand upon what Mr. Murphy has said. She then asked Mr. Mopkin to speak. Mr. Mopkin stated the neighborhoods have been on an information gathering tirade over the last few days. This recently came to our attention that it was proposed for zoning and since it is part of the county they were not required to put signage on the property. It was posted in the paper but not everyone saw it and that’s why it wasn’t fought at the Planning Commission. The annexation isn’t so much of the issue for us as it is the zoning. The annexation into the city is fine. We are pushing for R1 zoning, which is for single family homes. If you drive out there and see the property you clearly see the intent that it should be single family housing, which is what everything around it is. So our big push is for R1 zoning. This area was originally intended to be a community area for Foxfire neighborhood but wasn’t within the deed. Residents of the neighborhood are concerned about all of the effects. The other thing is it was approved at the Planning Commission stage for 100 units and 250 residents on a two-lane road that already sees a lot of traffic. It is alarming to us. He is sure there are other points but wanted to clarify that annexation isn’t the issue, it’s just the zoning. Mayor Rowland stated to be clear, this public hearing is not for the zoning, it is for the annexation. The public hearing coming up next is for zoning. This is strictly for the annexation. Ms. King added p. 363 REGULAR SESSION APRIL 10, 2017 PAGE -3- MINUTE BOOK 28 certainly safety is also a concern. She then asked for everyone in opposition to raise their hand. We are very concerned. Mayor Rowland asked if they were opposed to the annexation or zoning. The audience replied both. Barry Jenkins stated he spoke with recent developers in the area who are creating single family units. Timbercreek has 38 existing units with 40 additional units planned. Mike Lee has 19 lots that are being developed in the area as single family residential. Magnolia Lea has 19 units recently built in the last 18 months. All together nearly 100 single family residential units being built. That is greater than $20 million in value. Some of those are inside the city, some is in the county and the area doesn’t want to be diminished. Think about the areas you see, an area of single family dwellings and this zoning should be continuity to the zoning. Also, there are many accidents on Michigan Avenue Road, Peach Orchard Hill and 20th Street. The area has excess traffic than it has in the past and changing the zoning to R2 will increase the accidents and traffic. Steve Hixson stated in reference to the apartments he could build, where people can stay one month and leave there is not going to be anyone there that would want to come into the area and buy a home. This is a good quiet neighborhood and we don’t want anything that will drive our property down and increase crime. Single family dwellings would be fine. That wouldn’t hurt the neighborhood but the other avenue will hurt this area. Councilman McKenzie asked if the subdivision on the left has duplexes. Mr. Hixson stated there are some but they have their own access and are the kind people buy. They are not rentals. Mr. Henry stated there is an assumption there are going to be apartments. His client has no intent of building apartments. He has looked at a plan for townhomes and that has fallen through. There are no immediate plans to build anything at this time. Secondly, it is already R2. The development down from the property already has duplexes and triplexes but the bigger picture is he can already build those things under FAR. In a way this will restrict the property that will benefit surrounding property owners. All the objections to building apartments, he is not prohibited to do that now. The big picture is this makes sense for him to be able to be fully in the City and go with the R2 to be a consistent zone for what is already in the City. Councilman Estes asked if his client only wants annexation if we zone it R2. Mr. Henry replied yes. That is important. There are no immediate plans to develop but wants the options and feels R2 is consistent with the rest of the property. Councilman Estes then asked if he were in the city and accessible to water and sewer would that not increase the density he could put on the acreage where, right now there are certain perks he would have to have for septic. Mr. Henry stated yes it is his understanding it would increase potential density. But it is already, the first 3 acres is already in the city. If you’re concerned about traffic and density issues, it is already there. Councilman May asked if a portion of the property was wetland. Mr. Henry stated yes but doesn’t know the exact measurements but it is along the back portion. Councilman Cassada stated the land was cleared off in one day. Mr. Jobe stated the owner did receive a notice of violation from TDEC and if this is annexed it would carry over to us and he would receive a violation from the City Stormwater program. Mr. Henry stated his client does respect the concerns of the neighbors but at the same time this property has been for sale for a long time. He is not sure how he wants it to be developed but being a part of the City allows him options. Barry Jenkins stated the owner lives in Florida and we know what he is interested in building, which is multi-family units. We hear the near-threats of various things he could build but the full intention is to build multi-family units. Charlotte Peak stated she just came from a meeting about FAR and currently this developer, in FAR zoning he can put duplexes, which can be rented. She just wanted to clarify. Also, he can do everything else that Mr. Henry has stated in FAR unless they protest at the County Planning Commission or County Commission meeting. Mayor Rowland declared the public hearing to be closed. Mayor Rowland stated today’s meeting is being held as a public hearing to hear public comments concerning the zoning of about 5.1 acres located at Michigan Avenue Rd and Foxfire Dr NE from the unincorporated county to R2 Low Density Single and Multi-Family Residential Zoning District. Mayor Rowland then asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the zoning. Mr. Henry stated he stands by his earlier comments. A portion of the property is already in R2 and he can already build duplexes. It just makes sense that this be consistent and have his options available. R2 is all around the property. The Chelsea development is all duplexes and triplexes, which is just down from here. Respectfully, it makes sense that this be R2 and that is p. 364 REGULAR SESSION APRIL 10, 2017 PAGE -4- MINUTE BOOK 28 what we are requesting. Mayor Rowland asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the zoning. Mr. Jenkins stated yes Chelsea is nearby but when you consider Foxfire, Millcreek and the front part of Powhatan Drive the continuity is clear, it’s single-family residential. There are occasional multi-family units but when you consider what all three neighborhoods have, single family, over $20 million dollars that is something not to easily discount at all and recommends the Council vote no. Mayor Rowland stated we have received communication from Gerald Williams, 1816 Foxfire Road who is opposed to the zoning. Mayor Rowland then declared the public hearing to be closed. Mayor Rowland stated today’s meeting is also being held as a public hearing to hear public comments concerning a resolution to annex about 110.9 acres located at Urbane Rd and Tillie Rd NE and a resolution to adopt a Plan of Service for the annexation area. Mayor Rowland asked if anyone would like to speak in favor of the annexation and Plan of Service. No one spoke. Mayor Rowland asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition to the annexation and Plan of Service. No one spoke. Mayor Rowland declared the public hearing to be closed. Mayor Rowland stated today’s meeting is being held as a public hearing to hear public comments concerning the zoning of about 110.9 acres located at Urbane Rd and Tillie Rd NE from the unincorporated county to MU Mixed Use Zoning District.

Mayor Rowland then declared the item dies due to lack of motion. Mayor Rowland stated we have Resolution No: 2017-15 concerning annexing about 5.1 acres located at Michigan Avenue Rd and Foxfire Dr NE. Mayor Rowland then declared the item dies due to lack of motion. Mayor Rowland stated we also have Zoning Ordinance No: 2017-14 concerning zoning of about 5.1 acres located at Michigan Avenue Rd and Foxfire Dr NE from the unincorporated county to R2 Low Density Single and Multi-Family Residential Zoning District. Mayor Rowland declared the item dies due to lack of motion. Councilman Banks moved to send the annexation request of 5.1 acres located at Michigan Avenue Rd and Foxfire Dr NE back to the Planning Commission for further consideration for two reasons; we have a duty to increase the tax base so taxes don’t have to be raised to pay for essential services and generally we don’t turn down annexation requests, especially since the State Legislature changed the law. It would be in everyone’s best interest to send this back to the Planning Commission and let you voice your concerns and let the developer present what he plans to do and it might be a good thing for everyone. The motion was seconded by Councilman McKenzie. Councilman Estes asked if this issue had to wait a year. Mr. Kimball stated no that is for rezoning request only that is denied.

Kimball ___________________________ City Attorney Tom Rowland, Mayor ___________________________ Shawn McKay, City Clerk MARCH 17, 2017 URBANE RD ANNEXATION ANALYSIS PLAN OF SERVICE CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE The City of Cleveland, Tennessee is pursuing the annexation of approximately 111.3 acres located Urbane Rd and Tillie Rd NE as described in this report, along with a corresponding plan of service and zoning plan for the area. The area is inside the existing Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). The proposed annexation is proposed to occur in 2017. This report begins with a brief overview of the annexation process and the report then turns to a proposed Plan of Services (POS) for the annexation area. The services described are those that would be necessary for the City to provide under Tennessee law. This area is proposed to receive city services in accordance with the POS. Introduction Public Chapter 1101 (PC 1101), adopted as Tennessee law in 1998, required cities to work cooperatively with other local governments to determine an urban growth boundary (UGB) in which annexations could occur. Cleveland has a twenty-nine square mile UGB that was based on a study of urbanization and service requirements in a fifty square mile urban fringe area. The UGB was amended in January 2010, expanding it near I-75 Exit 20 and in the vicinity of the new airport site near Dry Valley Road. Cleveland can annex property within its UGB by resolution. PC 1101 Section 19 requires a “Plan of Services” (POS) prior to annexation and these services must include: police and fire protection: water, electrical and sanitary sewer services; solid waste collection; road and street construction and repair; recreational facilities and programs; street lighting; and zoning services. Public Chapter 225 adopted by the Tennessee General Assembly and signed by Governor Bredesen on June 2, 2003, amended TCA 6-51-102 to include impact on school attendance zones. This property is currently the site of Omega Center International, which operates various ministries under the direction of Reverend Perry Stone. The site currently includes a large event space that hosts religious services as well as other events. Eventually, the ministry would like to expand ministry opportunities, including but not limited to, lodging and additional event space. Urbane Rd and Tillie Rd NE p. 376 REGULAR SESSION APRIL 10, 2017 PAGE -16- MINUTE BOOK 28 Legal Description Beginning at an iron pin located the southeast corner of the lands of Voice of Evangelism Outreach Ministries, Inc, as recorded in BCROD deed book 2238 page 425; thence north 66 degrees 5 minutes 23 seconds west, 2479.75 feet to an iron pin located at the southwest corner of the lands of Voice of Evangelism Outreach Ministries, Inc; thence continuing with the same heading 60 feet, more or less, to a point in the western right of way of Urbane Road; thence with the right of way of Urbane Road in the northerly direction, 245 feet, more or less, to the northwest corner of the intersection of Urbane Road and Tillie Drive; thence in a southeasterly direction with the northern right of way of Tillie Drive 1745 feet, more or less, to an iron pin located at the southwest corner of the lands of James Calfee, as recorded in BCROD PB 10 page 342; thence with the eastern line of the lands of Calfee, thence north 31 degrees 51 minutes 52 seconds east, 282.54 feet to an iron pin; thence north 63 degrees 19 minutes 46 seconds west, 386.37 feet to an iron pin; thence with a line of Voice of Evangelism Outreach Ministries, Inc North 25 degrees 54 minutes 25 seconds east, 528.73 feet to an iron pin; thence along Mulberry subdivision south 65 degrees 12 minutes 35 seconds east, 651 feet, more or less, to the southeast corner of lot 22 of Mulberry subdivision, as recorded in PB 11 page 88; thence in a northeasterly direction 412 feet ,more or less, to the northeast corner of lot 21 of Mulberry subdivision; thence in a south easterly direction 532 feet, more or less, to the southeast corner of lot 24 of Rolling Meadows Phase III Subdivision, as recorded in BCROD PB 11 page 49; thence crossing the railroad right of way with the same bearing 112 feet ,more or less, to a point in the eastern right of way of the railroad, said point being located in the existing right of way; thence in a southwesterly direction with the eastern line if the railroad right if way and the existing City Limits, 2295 feet, more or less, to a point where if the southern line of the lands of Voice of Evangelism Outreach Ministries, Inc were extend, it would intersect the eastern railroad right of way; thence leaving the railroad right of way and the existing City Limits north 66 degrees 5 minutes 23 seconds west, 112 feet, more or less, to the point of beginning. Plan of Services 1. Police Protection Patrolling, radio response to calls and other routine police services using the City’s personnel and equipment will be provided on the effective date of the annexation. There is no additional cost expected from this annexation. 2. Fire Protection There is only one fire hydrant on Tillie Road. This hydrant is located near the mid-point between Urbane and Old Tasso RD. There is no hydrant on Old Tasso. There are two residential structures located at the intersection of Tillie and Old Tasso, as well as the two structures located at the dead end of Old Tasso. Securing a water supply to combat potential structure fires at these locations would require extensive lays of large diameter supply lines from this hydrant of over 1000’ to the residential structures and over 2000’ to the structures at the end of Old Tasso. To ensure adequate water supply to combat potential structure fires at these locations, we recommend the addition of a hydrant at the intersection of Tillie Road and Old Tasso Road prior to, or coinciding with, annexation. p. 377 REGULAR SESSION APRIL 10, 2017 PAGE -17- MINUTE BOOK 28 There is a hydrant at the end of Mulberry Lane that could be accessed from the end of Old Tasso. However, this hydrant services that neighborhood and is blocked from this parcel by a privately owned chain-link fence. 3. Domestic Water, Sanitary Sewer Service, and Fire Hydrants A. Domestic Water--- Water will need to be extended on Tillie Road to serve parcel at end of Tillie Road. To provide water service, it is estimated to cost $18,000 and can be completed within eight (8) years after annexation. B. Sanitary Sewer--- Sanitary sewer facilities will need to be extended to serve the parcel at the end of Tillie Road. To provide sanitary sewer facilities, it is estimated to cost $5,000 and can be completed within eight (8) years after annexation. C. Fire Hydrants--- To provide fire protection to the parcels at the end of Tilllie Road, a fire hydrant would need to be installed at the end of the 6-Inch water main extension. It is estimated to cost $4,500 and would be available in eight (8) years. SUMMARY OF COSTS Water Sanitary Sewer Total Urbane Rd at Tillie Rd NE $22,500 $5,000 $27,500 Annexation Area 4.

The current city policies regarding residential leaf collection will be provided annually for a period of approximately three months and will apply in all proposed areas. C. Street Repair and Maintenance a. Emergency maintenance of city streets (i.e. repairing hazardous potholes) within the proposed areas will begin at time of annexation. b. Routine maintenance of local streets in the proposed areas will be scheduled on the same basis as such maintenance in the rest of the City. c. Reconstruction and resurfacing of streets, installation of storm drainage facilities, construction of curbs and gutters, and other such substantial improvements in the proposed areas (where identified as needed by the governing body) will be accomplished in accordance with the priorities and policies established for the entire city. d. It appears that no street name signs or street striping/painting is needed at this time for the proposed areas. D.

This property is currently zoned FAR Forestry/Agricultural/Residential in the unincorporated County. It is recommended the post-annexation zoning on this property be MU Mixed Use Zoning District. C. In the case of lots of record that are recorded prior to the effective date of annexation, if there are prevailing deed or subdivision restrictions on record, these deed or subdivision restrictions shall apply if in conflict with City zoning or subdivision regulations. 8. Animal Shelter The City operates a full-time animal control program including an animal shelter. The Animal Shelter is located on Hill Street SE. Services include pick-up of stray and/or dangerous animals. These services will be available to the annexation areas on the effective date of the annexation. 9. Voting Rights and City Elections A. If an eligible voter’s permanent place of residence is located in an annexed area, that voter is automatically eligible to vote in City elections. B. If an eligible voter is in the category of a property rights voter then that voter must register at the Election Commission Office prior to voting in a City election. C. This annexation will add approximately 0 residents to the 4th City Council District as it is currently used. Revenue This property would be tax exempt and not contribute any property tax revenue to the City of Cleveland, however there would be storm water fees associated with this property based on the total impervious area.
