Blad Annexation Area 6 SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES A. Public Works Sewer - A 12"-diameter sanitary sewer line runs along the west side of Renewable Road. From that main line, sewer laterals extend to the east border of the Annexation Area. The existing sewers would provide sufficient capacity, unless future users discharge a high volume of liquid waste. The sewer discharges to a lift station on Calvert Street,just east of Renewable Road. The lift station is nearing capacity for the existing flows. The storm sewer is adequate to drain the public right-of-way. 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. Connection to the City storm sewer is not permitted. Water-The South Bend Water Works currently has a 10" water main on the east side of Renewable Road from Youngs Court to 160 feet north of Mary Court, immediately adjacent to the Annexation Area. This water main would provide sufficient capacity for the Annexation Area. Extensions of, or taps into sanitary sewer and water lines shall be governed by state law and the rules and regulations of the South Bend Water Works and Sewer Utility, The Annexation Area may be subject to system development charges for both water and sewer services. Streets - No new public streets are proposed with this annexation. The portion of Renewable Road adjacent to the Annexation Area is already within City limits. Because of roadway elevations, standard driveway approaches from Renewable Road would have to be made at or north of Youngs Court. Street Lighting -Should any street lighting be necessary, it can be provided on wood poles with overhead wiring 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. If subdividing the land requires new streets, lighting, sewers, or water mains, the design and construction of those facilities would be the responsibility of the developer and must be completed per current City standards. The area's soils and high water table may not be suitable for all types of development, and they would have to be considered in any plan for development.
