Berh-heiser (60601 Sotrth Main) Annexation Area S SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES A. Public Works Sewer - A thirty inch (30") diameter public sanitary sewer is available on Main Street to serve this one lot annexation area. Revenue from customers on this sewer will be sufficient to operate and maintain the facility without burden to other ratepayers. The costs for extending the sewer on Main Street are recoverable from new customers. The development fee for connection of Lot 33 to sanitary sewer service will be $3,000 payable at the time of permit application. Water -The South Bend Water Works currently has a 12" water main on the west side of Main Street. This is a looped water main that will provide more than adequate capacity for 60601 South Main Street. 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. Waivers of Annexation - No waivers of annexation are in effect for the Annexation Area. Streets -The segment of Main Street in front of this property is proposed for reconstruction by the State of Indiana as part of the U.S. 31 Realignment project. The City of South Bend currently lights and maintains Main Street. No additional public works facilities are contemplated for this annexation area. There will be no additional cost to the Department of Public Works if this area is annexed. General Budget Analysis 2008 Actual Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: $6,303,240 Miles of Roadway in City: @480 Cost per Mile: @$13,131.75 New Mileage within Area: @.OOmiles (feet) Estimated Maintenance cost for Annexation Area per year: @$0 B. Police Department The Annexation Area would be expected to be added to the already existing BEAT 16. Police patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency responses will be part of the services the City will offer to this area. This proposed annexation would require officers to cover a relatively small additional area to this beat. At this time it is not expected that this annexation would cause calls for service to increase significantly and it is not anticipated that it will be necessary to increase police patrols beyond the already existing beat patrol at this time. The area under consideration is not expected to cause any unusual problems.
