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. • Motion – Approving the purchase real property for public purpose. p. 768 REGULAR SESSION MARCH 9, 2020 PAGE -768- MINUTE BOOK 29 • Motion – Authorizing the minimum bid and selling a portion of 655 Weeks Drive by public auction. AGENDA ITEM 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. p. 769 REGULAR SESSION MARCH 9, 2020 PAGE -769- MINUTE BOOK 29 The motion to approve the consent agenda was seconded by Councilman Hughes and upon roll call, the motion was unanimously passed. UNFINISHED BUSINESS No unfinished business. 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.

Kimball ___________________________ City Attorney Kevin Brooks, Mayor ___________________________ Shawn McKay, City Clerk FEBRUARY 11, 2020 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 Legal Description Beginning at the Northeast corner of the gates, in the West line of Murraytown Road; running in a northerly direction with and along the West line of Murraytown Road, 171 feet, more or less, to the Southeast corner of Harden and running in a Westerly direction, on a line parallel with Gates, 360 feet to established marker and running in a Southerly direction, 191 feet more or less to established marker in the North line of Gates and running in an Easterly direction, 40 feet to a state, then south 20 feet to a stake marker, running in a Easterly direction along the North line of Gates, 320 feet to the point of beginning bounded on the North by Harden and the lands of Gary Murray.

Fire Protection The Cleveland Fire Department could provide immediate service to this parcel from our current Station 5 on Freewill Rd.

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.

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.

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.

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 Zoning in the unincorporated County.

The fee is billed on the Cleveland Utilities monthly water bill. The monthly fee will be $1.63. b. All new development will need to adhere to the City of Cleveland Stormwater Ordinance. c.

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.
