<br />RESOLUTION NO.
<br />A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
<br />SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, ADOPTING A WRITTEN FISCAL PLAN AND
<br />ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN
<br />ANNEXATION AREA IN CLAY TOWNSHIP
<br />(STADIUM PLACE. ANNEXATION AREA)
<br />WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of South Bend,
<br />Indiana, an Ordinance and a petition by all (100 %) property owners which proposes the
<br />annexation of real estate located in Clay Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana, which is more
<br />particularly described at Section I of this Resolution; and
<br />WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately 0.95 acres
<br />of land, containing one single family structure, which property is at least 12.5% contiguous to the
<br />current City limits, i.e., approximately 45.2% contiguous, generally located on the east side of
<br />Burdette Street just north (roughly 185 feet) of the intersection with Vaness Street. It is
<br />anticipated that the annexation area will be developed for a residential planned unit development
<br />(PUD) with 36 to 45 residents, to zoned as such. This development will require a basic level of
<br />municipal public services of a non - capital improvement nature, including police and fire
<br />protection, street and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, and snow removal, as well as
<br />services of a capital improvement nature, including street and road construction, sidewalks, street
<br />lighting, a sanitary sewer system, a water distribution system, and a storm water system and
<br />drainage plan; and
<br />WHEREAS, the South Bend Common Council now desires to establish and adopt a fiscal
<br />plan and establish a definite policy showing: (1) the cost estimates of services of a non - capital
<br />nature, including police and fire protection, street and road maintenance, street sweeping,
<br />flushing, and snow removal, and sewage collection, and other non - capital services normally
<br />provided within the corporate boundaries; and services of a capital improvement nature including
<br />street and road construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer extension, a water distribution
<br />system, and a storm water system to be furnished to the territory to be annexed (2) the method(s)
<br />of financing those services; (3) the plan for the organization and extension of those services; (4)
<br />that services of a non - capital nature will be provided to the annexed area within one (1) year
<br />after the effective date of the annexation, and that they will be provided in a manner equivalent
<br />in standard and scope to similar non - capital services provided to areas within the corporate
<br />boundaries of the City of South Bend, regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, and
<br />population density; (5) that services of a capital improvement nature will be provided to the
<br />annexed area within three (3) years after the effective date of the annexation within the same
<br />manner as those services are provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of
<br />South Bend regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, or population density, and in a
<br />manner consistent with federal, state and local laws, procedures, and planning criteria; and (6)
<br />the plan for hiring the employees or other governmental entities whose jobs will be eliminated by
<br />the proposed annexation.
