<br />RESOLUTION NO. 3653-06 A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL
<br /> OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND INDIANA
<br /> ADOPTING A WRITTEN FISCAL PLAN AND
<br /> ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE
<br /> PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN
<br /> ANNEXATION AREA IN PORTAGE
<br /> TOWNSHIP, EDDY STREET-EDISON ROAD
<br /> ANNEXATION AREA
<br /> WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of
<br />South Bend, Indiana, an Ordinance and a petition by all (100%) property owners which
<br />proposes the annexation of real estate located in Portage Township, St. Joseph County,
<br />Indiana, which is more particularly described in Section I of this Resolution; and
<br /> WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately
<br />26.2 acres of vacant, unimproved land, which property is at least 12.5% contiguous to the
<br />current City limits, i.e., approximately 63.4% contiguous, generally located East of Eddy
<br />Street, west of Ivy Road and South of Edison Road. It is anticipated that the annexation
<br />area will be developed for various land uses including but not limited to research
<br />facilities and other commercial and residential uses typically associated with a college or
<br />university campus. This mix of uses will require a basic level of municipal public
<br />services of a non-capital improvement nature, including police and fire protection, street
<br />and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, snow removal, and sewage collection,
<br />as well as services of a capital improvement nature, including street and road
<br />construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer system, a water distribution system, and a
<br />storm water system and drainage plan; and
<br /> WHEREAS, the South Bend Common Council now desires to establish and adopt
<br />a fiscal plan and establish a definite policy showing: (1) the cost estimates of services of a
<br />non-capital nature, including police and fire protection, street and road maintenance,
<br />street sweeping, flushing, and snow removal, and sewage collection, and other non-
<br />capital services normally provided within the corporate boundaries; and services of a
<br />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
<br />furnished to the territory to be annexed (2) the method(s) of financing those services; (3)
