REGULAR MEETING SEPTEMBER 13 2010 282
<br /> ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN
<br /> ANNEXATION AREA IN CLAY TOWNSHIP
<br /> (STADIUM PLACE PHASE TWO ANNEXATION AREA)
<br /> WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of South Bend,
<br /> Indiana, an Ordinance and a petition by all (100%) property owners which proposes the
<br /> annexation of real estate located in Clay Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana, which is more
<br /> particularly described at Page 15 of Exhibit "A" attached hereto; and
<br /> WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately 2.2 acres
<br /> of land containing single family structures, which property is at least 12.5% contiguous to the
<br /> current City limits, i.e., approximately 43.9% contiguous, generally located near the northwest
<br /> comer of Vaness and Willis Avenue (54703, 54719, 54739 Willis Avenue). It is anticipated that
<br /> the annexation area will be developed for two three-story, multi-family buildings with a total of
<br /> 60 units.
<br /> The development will require a basic level of municipal public services of a non-capital
<br /> improvement nature, including street and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, snow
<br /> removal, and sewage collection, as well as services of a capital improvement nature, including
<br /> street and road construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer system, a water distribution system,
<br /> and a storm water system and drainage plan; and
<br /> WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works now desires to establish and adopt a fiscal plan
<br /> and establish a definite policy showing: (1) the cost estimates of services of a non-capital nature,
<br /> including street and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, and snow removal, and sewage
<br /> collection, and other non-capital services normally provided within the corporate boundaries; and
<br /> services of a capital improvement nature including street and road construction, street lighting, a
<br /> sanitary sewer extension, a water distribution system, and a storm water system to be furnished
<br /> to the territory to be annexed (2) the method(s) of financing those services; (3) the plan for the
<br /> organization and extension of those services; (4) that services of a non-capital nature will be
<br /> provided to the annexed area within one (1) year after the effective date of the annexation, and
<br /> that 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, regardless
<br /> of similar topography, patterns of land use, and population density; (5) that services of a capital
<br /> improvement nature will be provided to the annexed area within three (3) years after the
<br /> effective date of the annexation within the same manner as those services are provided to areas
<br /> within the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend regardless of similar topography,
<br /> patterns of land use, or population density, and in a manner consistent with federal, state and
<br /> local laws, procedures, and planning criteria; and (6) the plan for hiring the employees or other
<br /> governmental entities whose jobs will be eliminated by the proposed annexation.

<br /> and snow removal, within one (1) year of the effective date of the annexation in a manner
<br /> equivalent in standard and scope to services furnished by the City to other areas of the City
<br /> regardless of similar topography, patterns of land utilization, and population density; and to
<br /> furnish to said territory, services of a capital improvement nature such as street and road
<br /> construction, a street light system, a sanitary sewer system, a water distribution system, a storm
<br /> water system and drainage plan, within three (3) years of the effective date of the annexation in
<br /> the same manner as those services are provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the
<br /> City of South Bend regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, or population density.
