Home Browse Search

Old National Annexation Area 6 SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES A. Public Works Sewer - A 10"-diameter sanitary sewer line runs along the centerline of Douglas Road adjacent to the Annexation Area. This pipe continues west along Douglas Road and connects with a 10" main, also on Douglas Road, via a lift station. The line and the lift station have adequate capacity to serve the Annexation Area. An 8" stub extending northward from the Douglas Road sewer near the east end of the Annexation Area may be available to tie into the system. Development of the site requires City approval of a drainage plan that meets the City's requirement to store on site all runoff from developed areas. Water-The South Bend Water Works currently has a 10" water main near the centerline of Douglas Road and a 12" water main on the west side of State Road 23. Either water main will provide more than adequate capacity for the Annexation Area. Extensions of, or taps into sanitary sewer and water lines shall be governed by I.C. 36-9-22-2, I.C. 8-1.5-3 and 4, and the rules and regulations of the South Bend Water Works and Sewer Utility. The Annexation Area will be subject to system development charges for both water and sewer services. Street Lighting - Street lighting is provided along Douglas Road, including at its intersection with State Road 23. Should any additional lighting be necessary along State Road 23 at the western edge of the Annexation Area, street lighting on wood poles with overhead wiring can be provided through an ongoing contract with Indiana Michigan Power. If the developer wishes to construct and dedicate additional street lighting, especially of a decorative nature or with underground wiring, the City may accept it for maintenance and operation, supported by property tax revenue. Waivers of Annexation - No waivers of right to remonstrate against annexation are in effect for this area. Streets - No new public streets are proposed with this annexation. The portion of Douglas Road adjacent to the Annexation Area is already within the city limits. The annexation would add approximately 440 feet of State Road 23 to the City, but that street will continue to be maintained by the Indiana Department of Transportation. If any changes are made to the driveway location along Douglas Road, a City Curb Cut Application will be required. An INDOT permit would be required for any new driveway approaches to private property from State Road 23. The petitioner will be responsible for extending the sidewalk along the north side of Douglas Road adjacent to the parcel being annexed.
