Assessments 2002 payable 2003, St. Joseph County Auditor property tax records: Land: $5,600.00 Improvements: $0.00 Net: $5,600.00 Estimated net assessment for the proposed development of 71 lots at an estimated value per lot of $110,000: $7,810,000.00 I Municipal Legislative District The Annexation Area will be in the 6th District. Hidden Creek, LLCAnnexation Area K Hiring Plan It is anticipated that this annexation will not result in the elimination of jobs for employees of any other governmental entities. The Centre Township Trustee has been notified of this Annexation. SECTION HI. MUNICIPAL SERVICES A. Public Works Sewer - Connection to the public sanitary sewer network is available via an eight inch diameter pipe of adequate size and depth in Jewel Park subdivision, just south of the Annexation Area. The developer of Hidden Valley (Creek) intends to extend sewers to the site from that subdivision. Sewer revenues from the development will be sufficient to provide pipe maintenance and sewage treatment. No additional public expenditures will be needed to extend existing sewer main facilities. Water - There is an existing 12" water main at the northwest comer of Jackson Road and Main Street. There is also a water main at Jackson Road and Linden Road. The developer will be required to extend the necessary water lines through the proposed subdivision. There is sufficient capacity to service the Annexation Area from either direction. The cost to extend the main water line from the Jackson Road and Main Street location is approximately $70,000.00. The City has agreed to participate at fifty percent (50 %) of the cost of that extension. For purposes of this fiscal plan, that will be indicated as $35,000.00, but the final cost will not be determined until bids are publicly solicited, contracts are awarded and the project is closed out. Streets — The current proposal for development of this area includes new public streets. Construction of the streets is the responsibility of the developer. The new streets and the portion of existing Jackson Road in the Annexation Area will add mileage to the roadway inventory. The new mileage will add to the State's payments to the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund and Local Road and Street Account sufficient for street maintenance, sweeping, and snow removal. Note: It is anticipated that only sweeping and snow plowing will be required over the initial five - year period, and that repair and replacement costs will not be needed to the fullest extent. As a result, the cost to maintain the new streets is reduced by one - third. Street Lighting - The developer will be required to provide street lighting on the streets within the subdivision. Additional revenue to the General Fund from this annexation area will be sufficient to pay for the street light operations. Drainage Plan - The drainage plan for the development of this site has not yet been presented. It will be addressed through the subdivision process. Hidden Creep LLC Annexation Area Waivers of Annexation - No waivers of the right to remonstrate against an annexation are in effect for the Annexation Area. 2002 Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: State Revenue: Balance: Miles of Roadway in City: Cost per Mile: New Mileage within Annexation Area(est.): Total anticipated Maintenance cost: Cost for Annexation Area per year: $7,427,294 $5,341,296 $2,086,165 @471 @$4,429 @0.73 miles (3,800 feet) @$3,233 @$3,233 / 3 = $1,078 * 2 = $2,156.00 (rounded) When fully developed, this annexation area is not expected to require major capital outlays for public works vehicles or equipment. 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. B. Police Department The noted area would be expected to be added to the already existing BEAT 15. 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 to this beat. It is located in an area of the city that was recently annexed into the City and is expected to continue to grow, both in commercial development as well as residential. 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 already existing beat patrol at this time. The area under consideration is not expected to cause any unusual problems. Cost for servicing this area would be expected to be absorbed by the existing budget of the Police Department, as the addition of this area would not be significant to the point of having to increase any budgetary items. Police services and response time in this area can be expected to be comparable and consistent with that as in all other areas of the City. Police coverage to this area could begin immediately upon annexation and coordination of the conversion of the 911 emergency phone system for that area. Note: It is anticipated that the services of this Department will not be required to a great extent, although monitoring will still be conducted. Therefore, the service cost of the Department has been reduced by two- thirds to reflect a more realistic actual cost to service the Annexation Area in the first five years. 2002 Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: $7,427,294 Number of Parcels in City (2003): @47,462 Hidden Creels LLC Annexation Area Cost per Parcel: Proposed Number of Parcels in Area: Cost for Annexation Area per year: C. Fire Department @$446 71 @$31,666 / 3 = $10,555 The Annexation Area will be serviced primarily by Station #10, located at 5303 York Road approximately two point seven (2.7) miles away. Additional Fire Department units would respond from Fire Station #8 located at 2402 Twyckenham Drive which is approximately four point one (4.1) 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. Adequate water supply will be necessary as development takes place. Note: It is anticipated that the services of this Department will not be required to a great extent, although monitoring will still be conducted. Therefore, the service cost of the Department has been reduced by two- thirds to reflect a more realistic actual cost to service the Annexation Area in the first five years. 2002 Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: Number of Parcels in City (2003): Cost per Parcel: Proposed Number of Parcels in Area: Cost for Annexation Area per year: D. Code Enforcement $15,020,769 @47,462 @$316.48 71 @$22,470 / 3 = $7,490 The Annexation Area will be added to Territory 5. The Department of Code Enforcement will be able to provide services to the Annexation Area with comparable response times. The Department will respond to calls for service upon the effective date of the Annexation. Full and dedicated response will be in place within one year of the effective date of the Annexation. Note: It is anticipated that the services of this Department will be minimally required to service the Annexation Area in the first five years. Therefore, the service cost of the Department has been reduced by one -third to reflect a more realistic actual cost to service the Annexation Area in the first five years. 2002 Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: $2,050,310 Number of Parcels in City (3/1/00): @47,462 Hidden Creep LLCAnnexation Area Cost per Parcel: Proposed Number of Parcels in Area: Cost for Annexation Area per year: E. Environmental Services @$43.2 71 @$302 / 3 = $101 * 2 = $202 Environmental Services provides wastewater treatment and administers the City's Solid Waste service. These services are supported by user fees, and are paid through the Water Works billing system. Industrial customers are not served: Single family rate: Senior rate: Duplex rate: Tri-plex: Quad: Recycling fee: $8.00 per month. $5.50 per month. $10.50 per month $13.00 per month $15.00 per month $1.97 per month F. 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 the 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 effect the provision of other services currently provided to this property on a county -wide 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 some of the county-wide agencies and their services that will continue to provide the same type and level of services to the Annexation Area. County-wide services will continue to be supported by the County and Township tax rates that will remain in effect. Hidden Creek LLCAnnexation Area SECTION IV. FISCAL IMPACT 9 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 parcels 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 provide 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. 2002 payable 2003 tax rates, 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. 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 will not be required or possibly requested for many years. Hence, the cost of providing services over the first five years is largely reduced, and the costs reflected in this fiscal impact should be evaluated with this in mind.
