"EXHIBIT C" RESOLUTION NO. WHEREAS., the City of South Bend desires to annex to the City, certain territory described in the attached exhibit incor- porated herein, made a part hereof, and marked Exhibit A; and WHEREAS, it appears that there is water service in the immediate proximity to the territory to be annexed, but such water line is separated from the territory by the Indiana East -West. Toll Road; and other water service lines in the area are at a more remote distance to the territory; and it appears that there will be for the foreseeable future no residential users and only one commercial user of the territory; and, WHEREAS, it further appears that the City would not within its existing boundaries, taking into consideration areas of simi- lar topography, patterns of land utilization, and population den- sity, extend water service to such area.. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the.Board of Water Works Commissioners of the City of South Bend, Indiana: SECTION I. The Board now having considered the factors of the remoteness of existing City water supply and the cost of extending such services, the small geographical area involved in the territory to be annexed, the fact of no existing residential , usage of the territory and the limited commercial use to which the territory will be put within the foreseeable future, the feasibility of wells as a source of water supply in the territory, and the existence of an enclosed sanitary sewer system serving the area to aid in insuring a safe water supply, the Board now determines that it is not necessary nor economically feasible for the City to extend its water service to the territory to be annexed. Adopted this day of 1980. BOARD OF WATER WORKS COMMISSIONERS of the City of South Bend, Indiana Patrick M. McMahon Joseph E. Kernan Richard L. Hill Attest: Michaelene Wojcik, Clerk
