<br />RESOLUTION NO. 38-2005
<br />A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS OF THE CITY OF
<br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA ADOPTING A WRITTEN FISCAL PLAN AND ESTABLISHING
<br />A POLICY FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN ANNEXATION AREA IN
<br />CENTRE TOWNSHIP
<br />( LT LEASCO, LLC ANNEXATION AREA)
<br />WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of South
<br />Bend, Indiana, an Ordinance and a petition by the sole (100%) property owner which proposes
<br />the annexation of real estate located in Centre Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana, which is
<br />described more particularly in Section I of this Resolution; and
<br />WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately 0.59 acres
<br />of vacant, unimproved land, which property is at least 12.5% contiguous to the current City
<br />limits, i.e., approximately 30% contiguous, generally located on the south side of Kern Road,
<br />approximately 200 feet east of US 31 South. It is anticipated that the annexation area will be
<br />developed for an automotive sales and service building, and it is proposed for rezoning within the
<br />City as "CB" (Community Business) upon incorporation into the City limits and Common
<br />Council approval. This commercial use will require a basic level of municipal public services of
<br />a non -capital improvement nature, including street and road maintenance, street sweeping,
<br />flushing, snow removal, and sewage collection, as well as services of a capital improvement
<br />nature, including street and road construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer system, a water
<br />distribution system, 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 to
<br />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 effective
<br />date of the annexation within the same manner as those services are provided to areas within the
<br />corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend regardless of similar topography, patterns of land
<br />use, or population density, and in a manner consistent with federal, state and local laws,
<br />procedures, and planning criteria; and (6) the plan for hiring the employees or other governmental
<br />entities whose jobs will be eliminated by the proposed annexation.
<br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS OF
<br />THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AS FOLLOWS:
