AGENDA ITEM
MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Joe Fivas, City Manager
DATE: February 24, 2020
RE: Annexation of 3855 Dalton Pike
SUMMARY:
City staff has been researching options for the annexation of 3855 Dalton Pike
(i.e. Waterville Golf Course) into the City. This is a 102.94 acre parcel. The
property is already served with sewer and water for existing structures. The
zoning would be professional & institutional (PI). The City is not intending for
the expansion of current facilities on this property, and not allowed by zoning
to construct any industrial, and/or single or multi-family homes. The first step
in this process is for the City Council to begin the public process for this
annexation request.
COMMITTEE FINDINGS:
None
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
None
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff’s recommendation is to approve this request to begin annexation
process.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kristi Powers, Purchasing Coordinator
DATE: March 9, 2020
RE: 655 Weeks Drive (Map 42O - Group E - Parcel 1.0)
SUMMARY:
I met with an auctioneer concerning this site, and in his opinion the spring
that runs through the property would be considered a major liability to
potential buyers. Due to this, he doesn’t feel it would meet the minimum bid of
$100,000 previously set by Council.
Staff believes it would be in the City’s best interest to subdivide the property
and retain the approximately 1.7 acres on the west side that contains the
spring and stream. The City would auction off the remaining property,
approximately 1.5 acres, on the east side with a minimum bid of $55,000.
COMMITTEE FINDINGS:
No Board or Committee action.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
No fiscal impact.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this item.

REPORTS OF MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
Councilman May stated last week we discussed traffic and feels it would be wise money
spent if we could improve the intersection at 20th Street and the roadway from the bypass to
Tasso Road, so the traffic would move quicker and people would have a shortcut to the north
end of the city coming from the eastside. Mr. Fivas replied he has asked for staff to
development an alignment to see what it could look like and to know how much right-of way it
would be. They anticipate something will be brought before the Council in the future.
Councilman Hughes thanked city staff for expediting the Indian Hills project. Also,
thanks to Chief Gibson for the appointment of Assistant Chief Stacy Smith.
Councilman McKenzie inquired when the 20th Street bridge repair at Barney Lane would
be completed. Mr. Jobe stated he would check but approximately 4-5 months before
completion.

NEW MURRARYTOWN RD- MARTIN BROWN CONSTRUCTION PROPERTY
ANNEXATION ANALYSIS
PLAN OF SERVICE
CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE
The City of Cleveland, Tennessee is pursuing the annexation of approximately 1.31 acres located
on New Murraytown Rd 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 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
p. 771 REGULAR SESSION
MARCH 9, 2020
PAGE -771-
MINUTE BOOK 29
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 consists of one vacant parcel. Three new residential dwellings are anticipated post
annexation. The property is described as Tax Map 40 Parcel 24.13.
New Murraytown Rd

northerly direction with and along the West line of Murraytown Road, 171 feet, more or less, to the

established marker and running in a Southerly direction, 191 feet more or less to established marker in

MARCH 9, 2020
PAGE -772-
MINUTE BOOK 29
2. Fire Protection
The Cleveland Fire Department could provide immediate service to this parcel from our
current Station 5 on Freewill Rd. Providing service to this parcel would have no budgetary
impact on the Fire Department.

A. Domestic Water--- Water service is available to this parcel via existing 4-inch water
main along New Murraytown Road.
B. Sanitary Sewer--- This parcel is east of and adjacent to Stone Creek Subdivision.
It appears this lot can be served by gravity sewer. Approximately 470 feet of 8-inch
gravity sewer can be installed from an existing manhole (MH 187-35) south along the
west side of New Murraytown Road. The gravity sewer main is estimated to cost $56,400
and would be available in eight (8) years.
C. Fire Protection--- A fire hydrant is located just north of this parcel along New
Murraytown Road at the entrance to Stone Creek Subdivision approximately 550 feet
north of this parcel.
If it is determined that a fire hydrant is needed closer to this parcel, approximately
365 feet of 8-inch diameter water main is proposed along with a new fire hydrant
along New Murraytown Road in front of the parcel. It is estimated to cost
$23,000 and would be available in eight (8) years.

the effective date of annexations and all municipal planning activities will encompass the
needs of the annexed areas.

Revenue
p. 775 REGULAR SESSION
MARCH 9, 2020
PAGE -775-
MINUTE BOOK 29
The property is currently vacant with a total assessed value of $32,300. At the City’s current tax
rate this would result in approximately $166.35 in annual property tax.
With the expected three new homes on the site conservatively estimated at a value of $225,000
each, property tax revenue would increase to approximately 3,476.25. With an estimated 8
additional residents in the annexation area after being developed and a current state shared
appropriation per person of $115.75 the property would generate approximately $926.
Total revenue generated as a result of this annexation after being developed with three new
homes would be approximately $4,402.25.

• Resolution No: 2020-14 – Requesting TDOT to partner with the City for

RESOLUTION NO: 2020-14
RESOLUTION TO REQUEST THAT THE TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF
TRANSPORTATION (TDOT) FUND AND CONSTRUCT NEEDED IMPROVEMENTS
TO THE INTERSECTION OF 25TH STREET (SR 60) AND OCOEE STREET (SR 74)
WHEREAS, the 25th Street (SR 60) and Ocoee Street (SR 74) intersection is extremely
over capacity causing roadway congestion and excessive delays for drivers; and
WHEREAS, the problems of congestion and driver delay have been exacerbated by
continued growth and development in Bradley County and the City of Cleveland which has
brought and will continue to bring increasing amounts of traffic to the intersection; and
WHEREAS, the unexpected cost of the project caused the City of Cleveland to
determine in 2013 that it lacked the fiscal capacity, among other local obstacles, to advance the
project in cooperation with TDOT and to ask TDOT to build the needed improvements to these
two intersecting state routes at TDOT expense.
WHEREAS, under any matrix these two state maintained roads are functionally failing,
causing safety concerns for the community, and significantly delaying commerce of our region.
The City stands prepared and ready to partner with TDOT on these improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Cleveland, Tennessee that:
1. Authorizes the Mayor & City Council to renew its request in writing to TDOT for
TDOT funding and construction of needed improvements to the 25th Street (SR 60) and Ocoee
Street (SR 74) intersection.
2. Authorizes City staff to seek a determination of the needed design, project costs, and
project schedule from State officials, and to report the same to the City Council for further
consideration.
3. Authorizes City staff to work with the TDOT on project funding match, if necessary.
Approved this 9th day of March, 2020.
