<br />A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND,
<br />INDIANA, ADOPTING A WRITTEN FISCAL PLAN AND ESTABLISHING A
<br />POLICY FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN ANNEXATION AREA
<br />IN GERMAN TOWNSHIP
<br />(WAGGONER'S DAIRY FARM, INC., PHASE II 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 the sole (100 %) property owner which proposes the
<br />annexation of real estate located in German 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 235.45
<br />acres of land containing one single family residence and a number of service buildings, which
<br />property is at least 12.5% contiguous to the current City limits, i.e., approximately 16%
<br />contiguous, generally located at the northwest and northeast intersection of Adams Road and the
<br />St. Joseph Valley Parkway and the northwest and northeast corners of Orange Road and Adams
<br />Road. It is anticipated that the annexation area will be developed eventually as a Planned Unit
<br />Development District, and it is proposed for rezoning within the City as Planned Unit
<br />Development District ( "PUD ") upon incorporation into the City limits and Common Council
<br />approval. This use will require a basic level of municipal public services of a non - capital
<br />improvement nature, including police and fire protection, street and road maintenance, street
<br />sweeping, flushing, snow removal, and sewage collection, as well as services of a capital
<br />improvement nature, including street and road construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer
<br />system, a water distribution system, a storm water system and drainage plan; and
<br />WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, now desires to
<br />establish and adopt a fiscal plan and establish a definite policy showing: (1) the cost estimates of
<br />services of a non - capital nature, including street and road maintenance, sewage collection, street
<br />sweeping, flushing, and snow removal, police and fire protection, and other non - capital services
<br />normally provided within the corporate boundaries, and services of a capital improvement
<br />nature, including street and road construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer extension, a water
<br />distribution system, and a storm water system to be fart fished to the territory to be annexed; (2)
<br />the method(s) of financing those services; (3) the plan for the organization and extension of those
<br />services; (4) that services of a non - capital nature will be provided to the annexed area within one
<br />(1) year after the effective date of the annexation, and that they will be provided in a manner in
<br />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, or
<br />population density; (5) that the 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 in the same manner
