Background/Staff Comments
The City has received annexation requests for 26 properties in the Goose Creek Basin that are located outside the Franklin Urban Growth Boundary (UGB). In order for these properties to be annexed, a referendum amongst the owners of the properties to be annexed must be held pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated (T.C.A.). The referendum was discussed at the August 14, 2019 BOMA Work Session. BOMA will vote on August 27, 2019 at a public hearing on whether to request a referendum for annexation of the 26 properties. Should the referendum occur, the election is proposed to be held on October 22, 2019 in conjunction with the City of Franklin Municipal Elections.
Resolution 2019-78 is a City of Franklin drafted plan of services for the 26 properties being considered as part of the proposed referendum for annexation, Resolution 2019-72. The Plan of Services outlines how infrastructure will need to be provided to serve the 26 properties of approximately 474 acres, should the BOMA decide to hold a referendum and should the referendum pass. If the referendum passes, the annexation would become effective 30 days after the certification of the election. This Plan of Services is drafted to be contingent upon the certification of the election for annexation and take effect 30 days after the certification of the election to line up with the effective date of the annexation.
In terms of the Plan of Services, water is located within the Milcrofton Utility District. Water availability, adequate fire flow and pressure must be approved prior to development on any of the parcles. The extension of reclaimed water infrastructure will be required to be extended to serve any property pending jurisdiction of this area for reclaimed water.
The property is within the Goose Creek and Mayes Creek Sewer Basins. The owner of each property shall be required to extend the sanitary sewer mains and interceptors necessary to provide service to the property. These mains and interceptors shall be sized according to the expected demands of development in these basins as determined by a sanitary sewer study.
Access to the property shall be provided from various existing roadways within the region. As properties develop, road improvements and road extensions shall be required in accordance with Connect Franklin. No additional manpower or equipment will be necessary for either Fire or Police Protection.
Since these parcels lie outside of the UGB, the Planning Commission will need to amend Envision Franklin to include these parcels in the document, including assigning them appropriate Design Concepts, after annexation.
