WHEREAS, Section 6-51-102 of the Tennessee Code Annotated, as amended, requires that a plan of services be adopted
by the governing body of a municipality prior to passage of an ordinance annexing any territory; and
WHEREAS, the City of Norris is contemplating annexation of certain territory, said territory described as follows:
Beginning at a point in the existing corporate
limits of Norris, Tennessee, said point being the western-most point of the Norris Freeway and the existing corporate limits,
going in a westerly direction to a point, said point being the common point of the east bank of the Clinch river, the existing
corporate limits, and a point which intersects Parcel 041 on Anderson County Tax Map 041.00; thence running in a northwesterly
direction following the east bank of the Clinch river to the northern side of Norris Dam; thence following the southern edge
of Norris Lake in an easterly direction to the intersection with the Norris Dam State Park, thence following the western edge
of Norris Dam State Park running its point of intersection with the existing corporate limits; thence proceeding in a southeasterly
direction following the corporate limits; thence proceeding in a northwesterly direction to the point of beginning, said property
being more clearly defined on the attached map, which was made part of this resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of Norris, Tennessee: Section 1. Pursuant
to the provisions of Section 6-51-102, Tennessee Code Annotated, there is hereby adopted, for the territory bounded as shown
on the attached map, the following plan of services:

Norris Public Safety Department and Norris Volunteer Fire Department on the effective date of annexation.
C. WATER Water will
be provided for areas bordered by Highway 441 by the City of Norris, Norris Water Commission through an existing 6”inch
line. The current capacity is sufficient to handle residential and commercial uses on the property. New service connections
and/or extensions to this existing line will be the responsibility of the property owner or developer as needed.

and volume limitations.

STREETS & RELATED PUBLIC FACILITIES The annexation area is directly served by Norris Freeway, also known as State Route 441, and is maintained
by Tennessee Department of Transportation. The development of new streets in the annexation area will be
the responsibility of the property owner or developer and shall be constructed in accordance to the City’s specifications.
H. SCHOOLS The City of
Norris does not currently provide school services, therefore residents of the annexation area will have continued access to

date of annexation.
