<br />RESOLUTION NO. 61-2005
<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 GERMAN TOWNSHIP
<br />(WAGGONER'S DAIRY FARM INC PHASE II ANNEXATION AREA)
<br />WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of
<br />South Bend, Indiana, an Ordinance and a petition by the sole (100%) property owner
<br />which proposes the annexation of real estate located in German Township, St. Joseph
<br />County, Indiana, which is described more particularly at Table 2, on pages 15-16 of
<br />Exhibit "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein; and
<br />WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately
<br />235.45 acres of land containing one single family residence and a number of service
<br />buildings, which property is at least 12.5% contiguous to the current City limits, i.e.,
<br />approximately 16% contiguous, generally located at the northwest and northeast
<br />intersection of Adams Road and the St. Joseph Valley Parkway and the northwest and
<br />northeast corners of Orange Road and Adams Road. It is anticipated that the annexation
<br />area will be developed eventually as a Planned Unit Development District, and it is
<br />proposed for rezoning within the City as Planned Unit Development District ("PUD")
<br />upon incorporation into the City limits and Common Council approval. This use will
<br />require a basic level of municipal public services of a non -capital improvement nature,
<br />including street and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, snow removal, and
<br />sewage collection, as well as services of a capital improvement nature, including street
<br />and road construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer system, a water distribution
<br />system, a storm water system and drainage plan; 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;
<br />and (6) the plan for hiring the employees or other governmental entities whose jobs will
<br />be eliminated by the proposed annexation.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF PUBLIC
