Michael Divita, the Department of Community Investment, with offices on the 14th Floor of the County-City Building, South Bend, IN, served as the presenter of this bill. Mr. Divita stated, This fiscal plan is for a 13.2 acre annexation requested by the property owner of four (4) properties along Lincoln Way West, near Olive Road, west of the bypass. As we have discussed, the annexation area is a small portion of the overall South Bend Chocolate project area proposed to have the new South Bend Chocolate Factory and other industrial-agricultural uses. No capital improvements are planned, but...water is already available on both US-20 and Pine Road. The City has previously committed to extending sewer to this area, as well. The adjacent portion to US-20 will continue to be maintained by INDOT. So, the annexation area will be added to the Common Council's 1" District and will be served by Police beat twenty four (24), Fire Station Eleven(11), which is on Bendix Drive, Emergency Medic Four (4), and Code Enforcement Area Eight (8)—with these and other non-capital services in place within one (1) year, following the effective day of annexation with response times comparable to other areas of the City. This being the time heretofore set for the Public Hearing on the above bill, proponents and opponents were given an opportunity to be heard. None from the public wished to speak in favor of or opposition to this bill. Councilmember Karen White made a motion to adopt Bill No. 18-36.
