LOCATION <br />Two parcels comprise the Annexation Area. Both parcels are <br />located in the Northeast Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of <br />Section 30, Township 37 North, Range 3 East, Centre Township, St. <br />Joseph County, Indiana near the intersection of Ireland and <br />Ironwood Roads. Legal Descriptions of both parcels are attached <br />as Exhibit 1. A map showing the approximate location of <br />Annexation Area is attached as Exhibit 2. There are <br />approximately 4.545 acres of land within Parcel 1 and 0.4 acres <br />in Parcel 2. <br />II. EXISTING LAND USE <br />The Annexation Area is currently vacant land. <br />III. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT <br />The developer proposes to build a 45,000 square foot shopping <br />center on the site. <br />IV. PROVISION OF CITY SERVICES <br />A. Public Works <br />This annexation will not require the construction of any streets, <br />street lighting, water facilities, sewers, and stormwater <br />drainage facilities. <br />No additional personnel will need to be hired or additional <br />equipment purchased to service the Annexation Area. <br />B. Police Protection <br />The Annexation Area is located in the soon -to -be created Beat <br />16. Police patrols, traffic enforcement and emergency responses <br />will be a part of the services the City will provide to the <br />Annexation Area. Annexation of this area will require the City <br />of South Bend to budget and appropriate approximately $7,600 per <br />year to provide police protection to the Annexation Area. The <br />Annexation of this area will not result in the degradation of <br />services to any other area of the City. <br />C. Fire Protection <br />The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire <br />protection problems related to this development. The project is <br />located within two miles of Fire Station 10 at 308 West Ireland <br />Road. Additional Fire Department units would respond, including <br />Engine 8, which is located within two miles at 2402 Twyckenham. <br />The long range plan under which the Fire Department currently <br />operates includes a review of the need for additional personnel <br />and equipment. The relocation of Station #10 to the annexation <br />area is also under consideration. <br />D. Neighborhood Code Enforcement <br />No additional personnel will need to be hired or additional <br />equipment purchased to service the Annexation Area. <br />
