<br />and roads, a sewer collection system, a water distribution system, and a street lighting system; and

<br />method (s) of financing those services; (3) the plan for the organization and extension of those
<br />services; (4) that services of a non -capital nature will be provided to the annexed area within one (1)
<br />year after the effective date of the annexation, and that they will be provided in a manner equivalent
<br />in standard and scope to similar non -capital services provided to areas within the corporate
<br />boundaries of the City of South Bend, regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, and
<br />population density; (5) that services of a capital improvement nature will be provided to the annexed
<br />area within four (4) years after the effective date of the annexation within the same manner as those
<br />services are provided to areas within the corporation boundaries of the City of South Bend regardless
<br />of similar topography, patterns of land use, or population density, and in a manner consistent with
