<br />RESOLUTION NO.4-2005
<br />A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS OF THE CITY OF
<br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA ADOPTING A WRITTEN FISCAL PLAN AND
<br />ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN
<br />ANNEXATION AREA IN CENTRE TOWNSHIP
<br />(GREG & DONNA ELLIOTT ANNEXATION AREA)
<br />WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of
<br />South Bend, Indiana, an Ordinance which proposes the annexation of real estate located
<br />in Centre Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana, which is described more particularly at
<br />Table 2 on page 13 of Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein; and
<br />WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately 0.83 acres
<br />of land containing one vacant structure formerly used as a residence, which property is at
<br />least 12.5% contiguous to the current City limits, i.e., approximately 75% contiguous,
<br />generally located on the west side of U.S. 31 South, approximately 860 feet south of Kern
<br />Road. This annexation territory is intended for business development and is proposed to
<br />be zoned "LB" (Local Business) upon incorporation into the City limits and approval by
<br />the Common Council. As a business area, this annexation territory will require a basic
<br />level of municipal public services of a non -capital improvement nature, including street
<br />and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, snow removal, and sewage collection,
<br />as well as services of a capital improvement nature, including street and road
<br />construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer system, a water distribution system and a
<br />storm water system and drainage system; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works now desires to establish and adopt a
<br />fiscal plan and establish a definite policy showing: (1) the cost estimates of services of a
<br />non -capital nature, including street and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, and
<br />snow removal, and sewage collection, and other non -capital services normally provided
<br />within the corporate boundaries; and services of a capital improvement nature including
<br />street and road construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer extension, a water
<br />distribution system, and a storm water system to be furnished to the territory to be
<br />annexed (2) the method(s) of financing those services; (3) the plan for the organization
<br />and extension of those services; (4) that services of a non -capital nature will be provided
<br />to the annexed area within one (1) year after the effective date of the annexation, and that
<br />they will be provided in a manner equivalent in standard and scope to similar non -capital
<br />services provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend,
<br />regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, and population density; (5) that
<br />services of a capital improvement nature will be provided to the annexed area within
<br />three (3) years after the effective date of the annexation within the same manner as those
<br />services are provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend
<br />regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, or population density, and in a
<br />manner consistent with federal, state and local laws, procedures, and planning criteria;
