PARENT, Mayor COUNTY -CITY BUILDING SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 46601 October 3, 1980 219/284 -9241 South Bend Common Council Council Chambers, 4th Floor County -City Building South Bend, Indiana 46601 Dear Council Members: The City of South Bend proposes an annexation of an approximate 9.64 acre tract lying northwest of the city and adjacent to property recently annexed in 1979. This tract is bordered on the west by Maple Road and on the south by the Indiana East -West Toll Road. Request for this annexation came from the St. Joseph Bank and Trust Company of South Bend which proposes to build a branch banking facility on the site. The bank is the owner of all of the usable land involved in the tract, the entire acreage being greater than the building site because of in- clusion of Cleveland Road and Toll Road rights -of -way. The annexation is proposed as an involuntary rather than volun- tary because of the inclusion of these rights -of -way in order to furnish the necessary contiguity. By the time public hearing is had on this proposed annexa- tion, Resolutions will have been adopted by the Boards of Works, Safety and Water Works Commissioners setting forth the manner of furnishing the required municipal services to the area. Copies of these Resolutions are attached to the proposed Ordinance. It should be noted that no additional expense will be incurred thereby to the city. The fire sta- tion erected in the immediate vicinity of this tract uses a well for its water supply and it will not be feasible in the near future to extend water supply to this territory consider- ing the size of tract and the uses to which it will be put. RMP:az Att. Very truly yours, £� erf Y er Chief Deputy City Attorney
