SPECIAL PRESENTATIONS AND PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mayor Brooks awarded the following 2021 Service Awards:
HEARING PETITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS
Mayor Brooks stated today’s meeting is being held as a public hearing to hear public
comments concerning a request by the property owner to rezone .36 acres, more or less, located
at 1120 Valley Head Rd NW (Tax Map 34I Group B Parcel 1.00) from PUD25 Panned Unit
Development Zoning District to CH Commercial Highway Zoning District (Planning
Commission: Denied 9-0). Corey Divel gave a brief summary of the request and stated it was
denied by the Planning Commission. As he understands, the primary interest in the rezoning is to
put a billboard on the property and we do not allow billboards in a PUD. Mayor Brooks asked if
anyone would like to speak in favor of the rezoning request. Chris Townsend thanked the
p. 495 REGULAR SESSION
DECEMBER 13, 2021

MINUTE BOOK 30
Council for the opportunity to speak. First, if he understood correctly, billboards are not allowed
in a PUD. Mr. Divel stated they are only allowed in a PUD if the ordinance specifically allows
them, which we have not. Mr. Townsend then asked why the billboard in front of Longhorn.
The property was originally zoned PUD and later changed to CH. He then asked how the
billboard was permitted. Councilman Hughes asked if the City had anything to do with the
billboard permit. Mr. Jobe stated the State issued the permit as they have jurisdiction. The City
did not issue a sign permit for that structure. Mr. Townsend stated their position is the City did
have a lot to do with issuing the permit, as in 2010 the City petitioned the State to allow a
billboard in the PUD zoning when the State otherwise would not recognize the PUD zone as a
commercial zoning. The City advocated on behalf of the property owner. He then handed out a
copy of the letter. At the end of the day, this has been requested several times. Their desire is to
be treated no better than other property owners, but no less as well. We do ask that the City
Council treat us in an equal manner and in that light, it appears that the precedence has been set
and to advocate on their behalf for a billboard. Secondly, the map that was submitted on page 4
of your packet is different from the map that was voted on second reading on August 9th. The
map has changed. On August 9, he asked this body if any of the property inside of the identified
boundary, if all the property was PUD and if any of the property outside the boundary was PUD.
He was told at that time no. No property outside that boundary was PUD. However, the parcel in
question is clearly outside the PUD boundary that was voted on July 12 and August 9. The
question is, why was the map changed and was the Council aware the map changed. Mr. Divel
stated it is not the entire parcel, just the corner. The original map that rezoned it from R2 to PUD
followed the way the tax lines were drawn on the tax record on our GIS, which follows the
property lines. At some point in the previous months, for some reason the Tax Assessor cut out a
notch at the corner of Peerless and Paul Huff and took that out of the parcel. He believes there
was a sign easement recorded, which doesn’t give you a permit just an easement. That is why the
little notch was left off the original map. The ordinance references the map and parcel, which
reference the boundaries, so in his mind the entire parcel was changed but mapped incorrectly.
The current map in the proposed rezoning we intentionally made sure we got what we believed
to be the entire parcel. Councilman Hughes stated the State did approve the billboard in front of
Longhorn and at that time he owned the property, but it was before he became a City
Councilmember. Mr. Townsend stated on September 21 we tried to make that a sign parcel
before the Planning Commission. The staff report to Planning Commission stated the property
comprises of tax map 34I B 001.00 and contains 0.08 acres. The actual tax map 034I B 001.00 is
0.34 acres. Again, he is confused. He would like to be treated in a similar manner Mr. Hughes
was treated in 2010-2011. We have offered to have a restricted viewing angle so no light
pollution would affect the Tomahawk neighborhood. The Council was in favor of changed the
PUD to CH for Holiday Inn Express and other properties in Cleveland. If proximity is an issue,
those that have been rezoned CH don’t have neighboring CH properties. North Ocoee Street, 46th
Street, Bradley Square Mall, 3898 Georgetown Road and one on Stuart Road, rezoned to CH in
2021. There is not PUD requirement for Stuart Road, but it is reasonable to assume that it could
look like Paul Huff Parkway. The purpose of PUD zoning is to control access and development,
he would like clarification on what and when PUD apply in terms of a commercial application.
Councilman Estes stated there are other avenues for these types of questions. This is not an
inquisition of city staff. If he wants to speak in favor of the rezoning, he can state his case and
not demand answers. He feels we are out of order allowing it. Mr. Townsend thanked the
Council for allowing him to be heard and would ask that those who voted in favor in 2011 of
rezoning Holiday Inn Expressway from PUD to CH and those who received the benefit, he
would expect similar treatment from the Council. Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to
speak in opposition of the rezoning request. No one spoke. Mayor Brooks declared the public
hearing to be closed.
Mayor Brooks stated today’s meeting is being held as a public hearing to hear public
comments concerning a resolution to annex about 100.26 acres located on Michigan Ave Rd and
Wilkinson Rd NE (Tax Map 43 a portion of Parcel 12.00) and a resolution to adopt a Plan of
Service (POS) for the annexation area (Planning Commission: Approved 9-0). Corey Divel gave
a brief summary of the request and stated the zoning ordinance would come at a later meeting
once final details of the PUD are finalized. Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to speak in
p. 496 REGULAR SESSION
DECEMBER 13, 2021

MINUTE BOOK 30
favor of the annexation and plan of service. Lake Mantooth stated their goal is to make this a
nice neighborhood. We have proposed 277 lots on the 100 acres. They will have some changes
once all the engineering and the TVA easements are complete. They have additional 30 acres
that will hopefully be in the growth plan soon. At this time, they are only asking for the 100
acres to be annexed. Mayor Brooks asked if anyone would like to speak in opposition of the
annexation and plan of service. No one spoke. Mayor Brooks declared the public hearing to be
closed.

REPORTS OF MAYOR AND COUNCIL MEMBERS
Vice Mayor Johnson stated he received a call from a resident off Michigan Avenue Road,
which was recently annexed but have no street lights. The address is 3423 Fleeman Place Dr NE.
Mr. Fivas stated staff will research but since it’s a new development the streets are probably still
private roads and haven’t been released yet.
Councilwoman McKenzie thanked staff for the paving on South Ocoee Street. It was
greatly needed. Secondly, Keep America Beautiful is still hosting tire cleanup events. Also, the
environmental class from Cleveland High School helped with the last one. They have had three
events with over 1,900 tires cleaned up and hopefully in the future we can find a way to stop tire
dumping.
Councilman Estes asked if the monthly departmental reports would include code
enforcement and building division, which have been missing in recent reports. He prefers a pdf
via email so he can forward information along. Secondly, he thanked Mr. Fivas and staff with the
help on the dumpster at First Street Square. Also, the fields at Avery Johnson Park, to be mindful
of the grass along with the Blythe Oldfield School field that gets worn down as well. Deer Park
has been overrun with people which is great to see. He then thanked Tommy Myers and staff for
leaf collection. Lastly, the ARPA funding for City Fields and Habitat. These are things that
change peoples lives and increases our tax base. We are excited to be doing this and it is
rewarding.

Councilman Cassada thanked Tommy Myers and staff for leaf collection as well. He
then asked for an update on guardrails on Stuart Road. Mr. Myers stated they should be down
now, as they were working on it Friday. He then asked when striping on Candies Lane would
take place. Mr. Myers stated should be this Thursday.
Councilman May stated he is still receiving several calls regarding Michigan Avenue
Road. He feels it is extremely important to do something. We have several new developments
and a lot of traffic on the road. Something needs to happen as quick as we can. Secondly, he
wished everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
Councilman Hughes stated he received a call from the resident on Apache Trail who has
noticed on several occasions dumping at 250 Sequoia Road, with trucks and trailers. It is not the
people who live there. Mr. Myers stated they have asked Code Enforcement to look at the site, as
it has been large construction debris and various rubbish. Councilman Hughes stated when the
Assistant Commissioner from TDEC came and awarded the $500,000 grant for the park in the 3rd
District, the Commissioner had several positive things to say about our program and wanted to
thank Patti Petitt for her work in Parks & Recreation.
Councilman Webb stated in addition to the striping on Candies Lane he asked for a
request to be sent to Cleveland Utilities to look at the street lighting along Candies Lane. There
are areas with gaps of lighting and with the moving of the pole at Inverness, that light is now
back from the roadway. Have them look and make a recommendation for additional street
lighting or even the possibility of upgrading the fixtures to LED.
Mayor Brooks stated his granddaughter is involved in the Cleveland City Cheer Club at
the Community Center. It is amazing the number of next generation Cleveland young ladies
cheering a couple nights a week. It is a fantastic community opportunity. The Parks &
Recreation team is doing a great job.

Myers stated yes, along with South Ocoee and Parker Street.

Exhibit A
Councilman Cassada moved that Zoning Ordinance 2021-32 be denied on first reading. The
motion was seconded by Vice Mayor Johnson. Councilman Estes stated he had a few comments.
First, he is friends with Mr. Townsend. Secondly, to him each zoning issue brought before them is
unique. Yes, there needs to be precedence but their also needs to be latitude. As we grow,
neighborhoods and streets change. He is not concerned with the drawing of the map, as he felt staff
was very clear. It was changed incorrectly. He was very clear on what was being voted on. At the
end of the day, equity. That is number one, as everything is unique. This also speaks to Stuart Road.
Certainly, city staff has had stronger eyes on certain things and what is acceptable. Councilman
Cassada added he has been upfront from day 1 about signs for businesses and wants a better look
city-wide. Upon roll call, the motion to deny the zoning ordinance unanimously passed.
The following Resolution was then presented in full:
• Resolution 2021-103 – Adopting a Plan of Service to annex about 100.26 acres

ANNEXATION ANALYSIS
PLAN OF SERVICE
CITY OF CLEVELAND, TENNESSEE
The City of Cleveland, Tennessee is pursuing the annexation of approximately 100 acres located
on North Lee Hwy 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 2021.
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 consists of a portion of one parcel with the remainder of the parcel already within
the corporate limits of the City of Cleveland. No changes to the site are anticipated at this time.
The property is described as a portion of Tax Map 43 Parcel 12.00.

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 provide immediate service to this parcel from our
current Station 2 located on Paul Huff Parkway. Providing service to this parcel would have

3. Domestic Water, Sanitary Sewer Service, and Fire Hydrants
A. Domestic Water--- Domestic water service is available to this parcel. See Figure 1. Note
that water can be provided via the water main along Wilkinson Road. Tapping the 20- inch
diameter water main and crossing Michigan Avenue Road is not allowed.
B. Sanitary Sewer--- This parcel is not presently served with sanitary sewer service. Sanitary
sewer service is along the west side of Michigan Avenue Road. This site cannot be served by
a gravity sewer main. A sewer force main (pressure pipe) will be provided that can be
pumped into from the future site sewer infrastructure. Sewer service to this parcel would be
provided via new sewer force main pipe beginning at the existing Chatata Creek Sewer Pump
Station and thence running easterly with and along an existing sewer main to Michigan
Avenue Road, then southerly along Michigan Avenue Road to the site, totaling
approximately 1,900 linear feet. See Figure 2. To provide sewer service to this parcel, it is
estimated to cost $237,500 (1,900 feet @ 125/ft) and can be completed within eight (8) years
after annexation.

The following memo was presented:
TO: Mayor & City Council
FROM: Joe Fivas, City Manager
DATE: December 13, 2021
RE: ARPA Affordable Housing
SUMMARY:
In November, the City and County had staff level discussions of partnering and coordinating an
Affordable Housing Initiative utilizing APRA funds. Last week, the County Commission has
begun the discussions on this Affordable Housing Initiative.
This coordinated Affordable Housing Initiative would include granting, from both the City and
the County, $400,000 for City Fields and $300,000 to the Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland.
City Fields already has agreements in place to purchase approximately 15 rental homes, and then
rehabilitation or rebuild homes on these lots that would be targeted to single family homeowners.
The $400,000 would be used to make these initial purchases. The City would individually
review each property purchase and allocate the funds individually after it has met our program
standards. The City will contractually require that homes in Blythe Oldfield area and College
Hill area be includes in these purchases.
Habitat for Humanity will be constructing approximately 15 homes/townhomes for single family
residents on land at the corner of Foster Lane and 20th Street that are primarily targeted as their
first home purchase. The City will grant $300,000 to Habitat for Humanity of Cleveland for
these project costs. The City is also contributing CDBG funds to assist with this development.
Affordable housing is a critical area of investment for our community. With extremely high
price inflation and housing competition there are many first time home buyers and low to

MINUTE BOOK 30
moderate home purchasers that cannot afford the initial costs to purchase a home, even though
they can afford the long-term mortgage payments. These programs also include possible down
payment assistance and assistance on many other facets of owning a new home.
For both of these projects, time is of the essence, and they are ready to move forward with these
projects immediately upon approval. This is the City-County Partnership portion of this funding,
and this does not preclude to adding additional funds in later years for this program.
COMMITTEE FINDINGS:
N/A
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
With this proposal, the City would take land and properties valued at approximately $600,000,
and potentially increase the assessed value to approximately $3,000,000 for both the City and
County tax base.
RECOMMENDATION:
City staff recommends approval of partnering with the County on this Affordable Housing
Initiative with targeting $400,000 for City Fields, and $300,000 for Habitat for Humanity of
Cleveland. The City will develop a grant agreement with both of these organizations to assure
that all Federal, State, and Local guidelines are followed.
Councilman Webb moved to approve a partnership with Bradley County on the
Affordable Housing Initiative utilizing ARPA funds. The motion was seconded by Vice Mayor
Johnson. Councilman Estes stated he is a Board Member of City Fields which does not affect his
vote. Upon roll call, the motion was unanimously approved.
The following memo was presented in full:
TO: Mayor & City Council
FROM: Joe Fivas, City Manager
DATE: December 13, 2021
RE: 140 Inman Street Property Purchase
SUMMARY:
The City Council approved a purchase agreement on this property in November pending the City
staff completing due diligence on the site.
COMMITTEE FINDINGS:
N/A
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
N/A
RECOMMENDATION:
After completion of our due diligence, City staff is recommending to not purchase the property at
140 Inman Street unless the purchase price is reduced.
Councilman Webb moved to approve the memo and not move forward with the purchase
of 140 Inman Street. The motion was seconded by Councilwoman McKenzie; and upon roll call,
the motion was unanimously approved.

Councilman Cassada read the following letter aloud from Mr. Ronald Barker:
Councilman Cassada then moved to accept the donation of property from Ronald Barker
to be used for the Jim Sharp Park with no other restrictions. This donation will serve the
community well. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hughes; and upon roll call,
unanimously passed.
Councilman Cassada stated the 775 Raider Drive building and property donation from
Mr. Forrest Preston is the same as what we just approved, with no restrictions. He then moved to
accept the donation of 775 Raider Drive from Mr. Preston with no restrictions. Long-term plans
both City Hall and the Cleveland Police Department will have to have work done. This is an
opportunity to capture a building and spend $5 million to renovate it. The city school system
needs a new location as well. We can figure it out after the fact to see what the best use is, but
this is an opportunity we should accept. Our building is dilapidated. We continue to grow, and
we should use taxpayer money efficiently and plan for the future. Councilman Estes asked if we
had a second on the motion to continue discussion. The motion was then seconded by Vice
Mayor Johnson. Councilman May stated the letter we received was dated January 2020. Is that
correct? Why is it so urgent that we do something in this meeting? Councilman Cassada stated
we all know as we get older we get frail, as Mr. Preston is. If we do not accept this gift now, it

will likely go into the Estate and the City will miss this opportunity all together. Councilman
Webb stated recognizing the decision to accept or not accept the generous offer from Mr. Forrest
Preston of the property located at 775 Raider Drive is an important decision for this Council and
is potentially one with far reaching impacts to our City, he then made the following substitute
motion. That this Council ask our very capable staff of engineers, architects, financial
professionals and others to complete a thorough analysis of this offer from a financial and
logistical standpoint, including, but not limited to the current structure, design and condition of
the building and all its components and the potential uses of the building for government
functions. The analysis will estimate the initial cost of preparing the building for use and an
estimate of ongoing cost along with the allocation of those costs to various agencies identified in
the analysis with an interest in potentially occupying the structure if the transaction is completed.
The analysis will address the funding source and budget considerations for renovations and
ongoing costs. The analysis will not include any consideration of the relocation of City Hall
and those administrative operations of the City of Cleveland and the City Council from
downtown Cleveland. Satellite operations of certain functions may be considered. The analysis
will be prepared promptly and presented to the Council in February 2022, along with a minimum
of 3 options for the Council to consider. The motion was seconded by Councilman Hughes.
Councilwoman McKenzie stated we need a feasibility study, and it needs to be completed by the
January 10 meeting. Councilman Hughes stated it is the holidays and staff would need at least
until January 24. Councilman Webb amended his motion to reflect January 24. The amendment
was seconded by Councilman Hughes. Upon roll call, Councilman Webb, Councilman Hughes,
Councilman Estes, Councilman May voted aye. Councilman Cassada, Vice Mayor Johnson and
Councilwoman McKenzie voted no. The motion passed 4:3.
