ANNEXATION AREA IN CLAY TOWNSHIP
(RAINBOW CHILD ANNEXATION AREA)
WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of South Bend,

described at Section I of this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately 2.65 acres

23 (17288 and 17316 State Road 23), and it is anticipated that the annexation area will be used for
a day care center; and
WHEREAS, this development will require a basic level of municipal public services of a
non - capital improvement nature, including police and fire protection, street and road maintenance,
street sweeping, flushing, snow removal, and sewage collection, as well as services of a capital
improvement nature, including street and road construction, sidewalks, street lighting, a sanitary
sewer system, a water distribution system, and a storm water system and drainage plan; and
WHEREAS, the South Bend Common Council now desires to establish and adopt a fiscal
plan and establish a definite policy showing: (1) the cost estimates of services of a non - capital

and snow removal, and sewage collection, and other non - capital services normally provided within
the corporate boundaries; and services of a capital improvement nature including street and road
construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer extension, a water distribution system, and a storm
water system to be furnished to the territory to be annexed (2) the method(s) of financing those
services; (3) the plan for the organization and extension of those services; (4) that services of a
non - capital nature will be provided to the annexed area within one (1) year after the effective date
of the annexation, and that they will be provided in a manner equivalent in standard and scope to
similar non - capital services provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of South
Bend, regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, and population density; (5) that
services of a capital improvement nature will be provided to the annexed area within three (3)
years after the effective date of the annexation within the same manner as those services are
provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend regardless of similar
topography, patterns of land use, or population density, and in a manner consistent with federal,
state and local laws, procedures, and planning criteria; and (6) the plan for hiring the employees
or other governmental entities whose jobs will be eliminated by the proposed annexation; and
WHEREAS, The Board of Public Works and the Board of Public Safety of the City of
South Bend, have each approved a written fiscal plan and established a policy for the provision of
services to the territory proposed to be annexed, which plan and policy the Common Council finds
to be appropriate and in the best interest of the City, and, which it desires to adopt.

Rainbow Child Annexation Area 6
SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES
A. Public Works
Sewer - The nearest sanitary sewer is a 10 "- diameter pipe, ten or more feet deep in Douglas
Road, south of the Annexation Area. An 8" pipe stub has been extended northward from the
Douglas Road sewer to the east property line of the property at the northeast corner of State
Road 23 and Douglas Road. The petitioner must extend sewer lines to the north boundary of
the Annexation Area to permit future expansion. Extension of sewer to the Annexation Area
would be done at the petitioner's cost.
Water - The South Bend Water Works currently has a 12" water main on the west side of State
Road 23. The water main will provide more than adequate service to the Annexation Area.
Also, Mishawaka has water lines on the east side of State Road 23, immediately adjacent to
the project site.
Extensions of, or taps into sanitary sewer and water lines shall be governed by I.C. 36- 9 -22 -2,
I.C. 8 -1.5 -3 and 4, and the rules and regulations of the South Bend Water Works and Sewer
Utility.
Street Lighting - State Road 23 currently has street lights at its intersections with Douglas
Road and Dugdale Drive. No additional street lighting is necessary for this Annexation Area.
Waivers of Annexation - No waivers of right to remonstrate against annexation are in effect
for this area.
Streets - No new public streets are proposed as part of this annexation. The only public right -
of -way within the Annexation Area is State Road 23, a state highway that will continue to be
maintained by the Indiana Department of Transportation. Thus, the City will not have any
additional street maintenance expenses, and no additional gas tax reimbursements will be
realized. An INDOT permit will be required for any new driveway approaches to private
property.

Rainbow Child Annexation Area 7
B. Police Department
The Annexation Area would be added to the existing Beat 11. Police patrols, traffic
enforcement, and emergency responses will be part of the services the City will offer to this
area. This proposed annexation would require officers to cover a relatively small additional
area on this beat.
At this time, it is not expected that this annexation would cause calls for service to increase
significantly, and it is not anticipated that it will be necessary to increase police patrols beyond
the existing beat patrol. The area under consideration is not expected to cause any unusual
problems.
The cost for servicing the proposed area is not expected to impact the existing budget of the
Police Department with any significance. The patrol costs would be assumed by the Police
Department budget. However, this area, as well as all other areas of the City, will continually
be monitored for level of service demands and other criteria that would necessitate additional
resources through budgetary increases or possible shifting of existing resources, such as a
beat restructure.
Police services and response time in this area can be expected to be comparable with that as
in all other areas of the City. Police coverage to this area could begin immediately upon
annexation.
Note: The cost of service for this Annexation Area is based on the number of parcels.
Household information is provided for comparative purposes.

C. Fire Department
Fire Response - The South Bend Fire Department provides a fully staffed, full -time fire
department. The Annexation Area will be serviced primarily by Fire Station #3, located at
1805 McKinley Avenue, approximately 2.7 miles away. Approximate response time for a non -
emergency call is six minutes. Additional Fire Department units would respond from Fire
Station #9 at 2520 Mishawaka Avenue, which is approximately 3.6 miles away, and from Fire
Station #2, located at 402 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, which is approximately 4.2 miles
away.
The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection problems
related to this annexation. Response times will be comparable to other areas of the City. No
additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation
Area. Fire coverage to this area could begin immediately upon annexation. Adequate water
supply will be necessary as development takes place.
Emergency Medical Response - The City will provide emergency medical response to the
Annexation Area. This area will be serviced by Medic #2, which is at Fire Station #1, located
at 1222 S. Michigan Street (approximately 4.8 miles away) and Medic #3, which is at Fire
Station #2, located at 402 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive (approximately 4.2 miles away).
Response times will be comparable to other areas of the City. No additional equipment will
need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation Area. Emergency medical
services are supported by user fees and would be available upon annexation.
Note: The cost of service for this Annexation Area is based on the number of parcels.
Household information is provided for comparative purposes.

Wastewater Treatment- Wastewater treatment services are supported by user fees, and are
paid through the Water Works billing system.
Solid Waste - Larger scale industrial, commercial, and apartment customers are generally not
served by the Bureau of Solid Waste. However, the Bureau of Solid Waste is able to provide
service to small commercial customers at $12 per month, or the prevailing rate at that time,
for a 96 gallon container with service beginning on the effective date of the annexation.
Administrative Services
The City of South Bend provides a wide range of services other than those noted above, such
as the Mayor's Office, the Legal Department, and Parks & Recreation.
These services are available upon the effective date of the annexation. Full and dedicated
response for non - capital services will be in place within one year of the effective date of the
annexation. Costs for these services have not been calculated.
The incorporation of the Annexation Area will not affect the provision of other services
currently provided to this property on a countywide basis. The St. Joseph County Health
Department, the St. Joseph County Public Library, the Area Plan Commission, and the St.
Joseph County /South Bend Building Department are among the countywide agencies that will
continue to provide the same type and level of services to the Annexation Area.
Countywide services will continue to be supported by the County and Township taxes that will
remain in effect.
Rainbow Child Annexation Area 10
SECTION IV. LAND USE ANALYSIS & DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA
This proposed annexation will add to the City of South Bend two single - family parcels intended
to be redeveloped for a day care facility. The Annexation Area is presently zoned "R" Single
Family District in unincorporated St. Joseph County. Another single - family home zoned "R"
Single Family District in unincorporated St. Joseph County is located to the north and east.
Also to the east is Memorial Home Care, zoned "CB" Community Business District in the City.
To the south are three vacant parcels, zoned "CB" Community Business District in the City,
and Old National Bank, zoned "C" Commercial District in the County. To the west are office
uses zoned "B" Business District in the County.
The Annexation Area is located near the intersection of State Road 23 and Douglas Road,
noted as a regional commercial node on the future land use map of City Plan, South Bend's
comprehensive plan. A concentration of commercial and office uses is found near the
intersection, with residential uses surrounding them. The proposed land use is consistent
with the general character of the area and its development trends. The proposed rezoning to
"0" Office District could create a logical transition from the commercial and office uses to the
west and southwest of the Annexation Area to the residential uses to the northeast.
The petitioner proposes removing the two existing single- family houses and accessory
structures to build a child care center. The preliminary site plan shows a building of about
10,800 square feet, playground areas, and a parking area with 33 spaces. The two existing
residential driveway approaches would be consolidated into one opposite Dugdale Drive.
The petitioner should give careful consideration to urban design and pedestrian circulation
elements as part of their site planning. The driveway approach to State Road 23 should be
limited to a maximum 24' in width, consistent with City standards, and should properly align
with Dugdale Drive. Landscaping at levels at least consistent with the zoning ordinance
should be provided. The parking area along State Road 23 should be screened with a hedge
row. Any improvements or future changes must meet the City's applicable building, zoning,
and subdivision ordinances.
The development of the site requires a drainage plan. No public storm sewer is available to
the site. No adjacent ditch, stream, or other surface water outlet is adjacent to the
Annexation Area. Retention basins and low- impact means to promote infiltration of surface
water will be required. The developer will also be required to create an erosion control plan
and obtain a permit.
Rainbow Child Annexation Area 11
SECTION V. FISCAL IMPACT
1) Essential city services can be made available to the residents (and territory) of the
Annexation Area in a timely and comparable fashion per the requirements of State law and
this fiscal plan.
2) The City is financially able to support city services to the territory sought to be annexed.
3) Required improvements made by the petitioner and /or owner of the parcel(s) must be
made in accordance with the standards of the City of South Bend.
4) Required improvements made by the City will be completed within the time frames provided
by State law and this fiscal plan.
5) All figures are estimates. Final cost of capital expenditures, if any, will not be determined
until bids are publicly solicited, contracts are awarded, and projects are closed out.
6) Property tax revenue and land assessment estimates are based on a combination of: 2013
payable 2014 tax information, taxes paid in previous years by a comparable development,
estimates of units built, estimates of unit values and land assessments, and tax abatements
or adjustments, if any. Tax rates are subject to change every year, and property tax revenues
may be subject to tax caps.
7) Department expenditures and revenues are derived from the City of South Bend Budget.
8) The estimated costs to provide services, noted in Section III, Municipal Services, is a City-
wide average based on a particular budget year. In the case of the proposed development in
the Annexation Area, some of these services may not be required or possibly requested for
many years. Hence, the cost of providing services over the first five years should be evaluated
with this in mind.

RE: A Resolution of the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana,
Adopting a Written Fiscal Plan and Establishing a Policy for the Provision of
Services to an Annexation Area in Clay Township (Rainbow Child Annexation
Area)
Dear Councilman Davis:
I am attaching for filing the above resolution, which is a companion to Bill No. 42 -14.
That bill proposes to voluntarily annex contiguous territory in Clay Township to the City
of South Bend. The resolution provides for the Common Council's approval and
adoption of the written plan and policy concerning the provision of services, both capital
and non - capital, to the territory to be annexed.
This 2.65 -acre annexation area contains two parcels on State Road 23, northeast of
Douglas Road, and adjacent right -of -way. All public improvements, if any, will be
required to be done at the expense of the developer.
I request that the attached resolution be placed on the October 27, 2014, agenda of the
Common Council meeting at which the companion Bill is given Second Reading. I will
be attending the meeting, as well as the Zoning & Annexation Committee hearing, as the
presenter.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 235 -5843. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Michael P. Divita
