265 TASSO LN ANNEXATION ANALYSIS
PLAN OF SERVICE
CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE
The City of Cleveland, Tennessee is pursuing the annexation of approximately 5.87 acres located
at 265 Tasso Ln 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 be effective in 2020.
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.

The property is proposed to be developed as a single and multi-family residential development
with approximately 64 units. The property is described as Tax Map 34 Parcel 25.05
265 TASSO LN
Legal Description
Beginning at an ion pin located at the intersection of the southeastern corner of the herein described
lands and other property of Eldredge, said point being North 71 degrees 34 minutes West, 1013.9 feet
to the intersection of Eldredge and the southeast corner of Clark; thence North 28 degrees 31 minutes
25 seconds East, 892.31 feet to an iron pin; thence south 61 degrees 28 minutes 35 seconds east, 300
feet to an iron pin; thence south 28 degrees 31 minutes 25 seconds west, 731.29 feet to an iron pin;
thence along the right of way of Tasso Ln, North 70 degrees 43 minutes 7 seconds west, 19.56 feet to a
point; thence along the curvature of Tasso Ln in a southerly direction Delta= 30 degrees 39 minutes 9
seconds on a radius of 424.91 feet along a tangent of 128.50 a distance of 264.25 feet to a point; thence
south 75 degrees 37 minutes 44 seconds west, 63.78 feet to the iron pin making 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
The Cleveland Fire Department could begin providing service to this area immediately from our current
Station 2 without budgetary impact. However, it appears that the closest fire hydrant, based upon city
GIS, is approximately 1500 feet away – to the west on Tasso Lane, with another approximately that
same distance away from the property to the east. This distance to a water supply would be a concern in
the event of further residential development of the site.

3. Domestic Water, Sanitary Sewer Service, and Fire Hydrants
A. Domestic Water--- Water service is available to this parcel via existing 18-inch water
main along Tasso Lane.
B. Sanitary Sewer--- This parcel is east of and adjacent to Heartland Subdivision. An
existing manhole (MH 21 on the Heartland Subdivision drawings, MH 80-90 on CU-
GIS) is located approximately 10 feet west of the western property boundary. Per the
Heartland Subdivision drawings, an easement exists up to the property boundary. Sewer
service exists to 265 Tasso Lane via this manhole.
C. Fire Protection--- An existing fire hydrant is located approximately 1,100 feet west along
Tasso Lane from the southwest corner of 265 Tasso Lane. If it is determined by others to
be necessary to install a new fire hydrant nearer to 265 Tasso Lane, a new fire hydrant
would be installed along the existing 18-inch water main in front of the parcel (north side
of Tasso Lane). The fire hydrant installation is estimated to cost $25,000 (including tap,
crossing of Tasso Lane, and fire hydrant) and would be available in eight (8) years.
SUMMARY OF COSTS
Location Domestic Sanitary Fire Total
Water Sewer Protection
265 Tasso Lane $0 $0 $25,000 $25,000
4. Electric Service
This parcel is currently being served by Volunteer Energy. Annexation will require Cleveland Utilities
Electric to purchase some existing VEC facilities now serving this customer, along with paying them 25%
of the total power sales for the next 10 years as per state law. Also, we will have some cost to extend
our facilities to the point of tying in the existing VEC facilities.
1) Purchase estimate of VEC facilities = $19,441.85
2) Cost to extend CU facilities to tie into existing VEC facilities = $11,816.28
3) Revenue reimbursement to VEC for 25% of the power sales for 10 yrs. = $10,000.00
4) Total estimated cost to Cleveland Utilities Electric to annex this parcel/customer = $41,258.13
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.

the proposed areas, unless the City Council initiates a program in the future.
B. Route Collection Services

for a period of approximately three months and will apply in all proposed areas.

Revenue
The property is currently assessed for $295,200 which would result in property tax revenue of
approximately $1,520.28. This would result in a total assessed value is $1,437.50.
If the site were developed with 64 units with a conservative value of $225,000 each it would
result in approximately $74,160 in property tax revenue. With the state share appropriation of
$115.75 per resident and an estimated 147 residents in the annexation area after being developed,
the site would generate approximately $17,015.25. The stormwater fee for each unit will
generate approximately $3.25 per month per unit which would result in approximately $2,496
annually.
Total revenue generated as a result of this annexation after being developed with 64 residential
units would be approximately $93,671.25.
