Fox Creek Annexation Area 6 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES <br /> <br />A. Public Works <br /> <br />Sewer – An 8”-diameter sanitary sewer runs along Creekbottom Drive to the west edge of the <br />development site. The petitioner has the responsibility to extend gravity public sewer main <br />and to ensure that the downstream lift station on Creekside Drive has adequate capacity. <br /> <br />Development of the site requires City approval of a drainage plan that meets the City’s <br />requirement to store all runoff from developed areas. No public municipal storm sewer is <br />available to the site. Retention basins and low-impact means to promote infiltration of <br />surface water will be required. The site is near Juday Creek. <br /> <br />Water - The South Bend Water Works currently has a 6” water main on Creekbottom Drive. <br />The petitioner has the responsibility to extend a minimum 8” water main to serve the <br />development. <br /> <br />Extensions of or taps into sanitary sewer and water lines shall be governed by state law and <br />the rules and regulations of the South Bend Water Works and Sewer Utility. The Annexation <br />Area may be subject to system development charges for both water and sewer services. <br /> <br />Streets – Annexation would add approximately 247.5 feet of the northern portion of the <br />Hepler Street right-of-way and the western half of a Hickory Road right-of-way that has no <br />pavement to the city limits. The petitioner will dedicate farther a west half right-of-way of <br />Hickory Road to allow for its future extension northward. The preliminary development plan <br />includes private streets internal to the development. The petitioner may need to provide <br />sidewalks along Hepler Street upon development. <br /> <br />Street Lighting –Should any street lighting be necessary, it can be provided on wood poles <br />with overhead wiring through an ongoing contract with Indiana Michigan Power. If the <br />petitioner wishes to construct and dedicate additional street lighting, especially of a <br />decorative nature or with underground wiring, the City may accept it for maintenance and <br />operation, supported by property tax revenue, if done to City standards. <br /> <br />Waivers of Annexation – No waivers of right to remonstrate against annexation are in effect <br />for this area. <br /> <br />2023 Actual Budget Report for the Department: <br /> <br />Expenditures: $36,313,657 <br />Miles of Roadway in City: @502 <br />Cost per Mile: @$72,338 <br />New Mileage within Area: @0.0 miles (0 feet) <br />Estimated Maintenance Cost <br /> for Annexation Area per year: @$0
