Kimball ___________________________ City Attorney Tom Rowland, Mayor ___________________________ Shawn McKay, City Clerk p. 640 REGULAR SESSION OCTOBER 23, 2017 PAGE -8- MINUTE BOOK 28 SEPTEMBER 17, 2017 MICHIGAN AVE RD- FOXFIRE RD NE ANNEXATION ANALYSIS PLAN OF SERVICE CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE The City of Cleveland, Tennessee is pursuing the annexation of approximately 5.0 acres located at the intersection of Michigan Ave Rd and Foxfire 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 annexation would annex the remaining 5.0 acres of the parcel described as tax map 51 parcel 24.01. Approximately 2.4 acres is currently within the city and this annexation would result in the entire +/- 7.4 acres being within the corporate limits. The Plan of Services contemplates the impact of the area annexed as well as the impacts of the entire parcel being developed into a single family residential development. Michigan Ave Rd and Foxfire Dr NE p. 641 REGULAR SESSION OCTOBER 23, 2017 PAGE -9- MINUTE BOOK 28 Legal Description Beginning in the eastern line of Michigan Avenue Road at the northwest corner of the lands of Phillip McManus, as recorded in BCROD deed book 1083 page 939; thence with the northern line of the lands of McManus in an easterly direction, 200 feet, to a point where the northern line of the lands of McManus intersects the existing City Limits, said point begin the true point of beginning; thence continuing with the northern line of the lands of McManus in an easterly direction, 490 feet, more or less, to the northwest corner of lot 4 of Foxfire Subdivision Section 1; thence following the westernmost lines of Lot 4, 3, 2, and 1 in the Foxfire Subdivision in a southwesterly direction, 552.51 feet, more or less, to the north line of Foxfire Road; thence with said line of Foxfire Road approximately North 64 degrees 3 minutes west, 374.52 feet to a point where the northern line of Foxfire Road intersects the existing City Limits; thence with the existing City Limits in a northerly direction 525 feet, more or less, to the true 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 This area would be serviced by Cleveland Fire Department Station 2 immediately upon annexation without increased cost to the Fire Department. 3. Domestic Water, Sanitary Sewer Service, and Fire Hydrants This parcel is currently served by sanitary sewer, along Michigan Avenue, and water, along Michigan Avenue and Foxfire Rd. Therefore, Cleveland Utilities has met its obligation to serve the proposed annexation area. A developer would have the option of constructing the gravity sanitary sewer or serving the development by the use of individual grinder pumps. In the use of individual grinder pumps, Cleveland Utilities would accept the operation and maintenance of the force main constructed in public right-of-way by the developer. The installation, operation, and maintenance of the individual grinder pumps would be the responsibility of the property owners. 4. Electric Service The proposed annexation area is currently within the Cleveland Utilities electric service area. No improvements or costs are expected as a result of this annexation. 5. Public Works A. Refuse Collection a. Current city policies regarding residential, commercial and industrial refuse will apply in all proposed areas per the terms of the City’s contract with Waste Connections of Tennessee, Inc. b. The City no longer provides curbside recycling and this service will not be provided in the proposed areas, unless the City Council initiates a program in the future. p. 642 REGULAR SESSION OCTOBER 23, 2017 PAGE -10- MINUTE BOOK 28 B. Route Collection Services a. Current city policies regarding residential debris, brush, and white good collections will apply in all proposed areas and will begin at the time of annexation. Each residence will be included in the City’s ten route collection system. No additional equipment or manpower will be needed at this time. b. 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. Stormwater and Drainage Services No major drainage problems were identified in these areas. Emergency drainage maintenance (i.e. cleaning catch basins, unstopping tile, installing drainage tile and/or catch basins) within these areas will begin at time of annexation. E. General Rights-of-Way Maintenance (i.e. street sweeping, snow removal) a. Current city policies for routine street sweeping will be scheduled on the same basis as in the rest of the City and will apply in all proposed areas. b. Current city policies for snow removal and salting will be scheduled on the same basis as in the rest of the City and will apply in all proposed areas. 6. Schools The annexation of this area would have marginal impacts on the City School system. If the entire site were to be developed to its maximum capacity and with the present rate of $976.59 per pupil the total impact would be approximately $4,394.66. 7. Planning and Zoning A. The planning and zoning jurisdiction of the City will extend to the annexation areas upon the effective date of annexations and all municipal planning activities will encompass the needs of the annexed areas. B. This property is currently zoned FAR Forestry/Agricultural/Residential in the unincorporated County. It is recommended the post-annexation zoning on this property be R1 Single Family Residential as is the property which is contiguous to this site. p. 643 REGULAR SESSION OCTOBER 23, 2017 PAGE -11- MINUTE BOOK 28 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. If the additional 5 acres are developed to its R1 capacity, it would accommodate approximately 75 residents. Revenue The approximate property for the portion of this property currently located in the unincorporated County is 51,400. This would result in a total assessed value is $12,850. The property tax generated from this area in its current condition would be about $226.87 a year. The area is currently vacant and would not add any additional residents. In addition, there would be no stormwater fee associated with this property. The approximate revenue generated because of this annexation at the time of annexation would be about $226.87. This amount is expected to increase significantly if it developed as expected as it could accommodate approximately 30 residential units. If 30 single family homes were developed, with an average value of $150,000 per unit, on this site it would result in a total land and improvement value of $4,500,000. The assessed value would be $1,125,000 which would result in approximately $23,175 in annual property tax revenue. Councilman Cassada moved that Resolution No: 2017-72 be accepted as presented. The motion was seconded by Councilman May; and upon roll call, unanimously passed. Councilman May thanked the developer for working with the residents to find a good fit for the neighborhood. p. 644 REGULAR SESSION OCTOBER 23, 2017 PAGE -12- MINUTE BOOK 28 The following Resolution was then presented in full: RESOLUTION NO: 2017-73 A RESOLUTION TO ANNEX CERTAIN TERRITORY UPON WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE OWNERS AND TO INCORPORATE THE SAME WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE MICHIGAN AVE RD-FOXFIRE DR NE AREA WHEREAS, the City of Cleveland, having been petitioned by interested persons, proposes the extension of its corporate limits by the annexation of certain territory adjoining its existing boundaries and within its urban growth boundaries; and WHEREAS, the owners of all property within the territory proposed for annexation have given their written consent by notarized petition so that a referendum is not required; and WHEREAS, this Resolution was also published by posting copies of it in at least three (3) public places in the territory proposed for annexation and in a like number of public places in the City of Cleveland, and by publishing notice of the Resolution at or about the same time in the Cleveland Daily Banner, a newspaper of general circulation in such territory and the City of Cleveland; and WHEREAS, a Plan of Services for the area proposed for annexation is attached as Exhibit A hereto, which Plan of Services addresses the same services and timing of services as required in Tennessee Code Annotated § 6-51-102; and WHEREAS, the proposed annexation and Plan of Services were submitted to the Cleveland Municipal Planning Commission for study, and it has recommended the same; and WHEREAS, notice of the time and purpose of a public hearing on the proposed annexation and the Plan of Services was published in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of Cleveland not less than fifteen (15) days before the hearing, which notice included the locations of a minimum of three (3) copies of the Plan of Services for public inspection during all business hours from the date of notice until the public hearing; and WHEREAS, a public hearing on the proposed annexation and Plan of Services was held by the governing body on October 23, 2017.
