GENERAL DATA A. Location The Annexation Area is located on both the north and south sides of Cleveland Road, approximately 600 feet west of the St. Joseph Valley Freeway. See Map L B. Legal Description The Annexation Area is part of the Southeast Quarter of the Southwest Quarter of Sec 19, Township 38 North, Range 2 East; a part of the Northeast Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 30, Township 38 North, Range 2 East, all in German Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana. For a complete legal description see Table 2. C. Contiguity The Annexation Area is at least 1/8 (12.5 %) contiguous to the current City limits: Contiguous Non- Contiguous Total (approx) 2,180.17 feet 2,742.15 feet 4,922.32 feet 44% 56% 100.00% D. Size of Annexation Area The Annexation Area is approximately 18.40 acres in area. E. Buildings and Land Use Mahler /Stidham Annexation Area 4 There are two houses in the Annexation Area, one for each of the two properties. There are no immediate development plans, but it is anticipated that the properties will be developed as either commercial or industrial, based on the surrounding land uses. The most immediate need is that the purchase of the properties by the City of South Bend will be to widen and improve Cleveland Road. F. Zoning & Subdivisions The site is zoned "A" Agricultural and "M" Manufacturing in unincorporated St. Joseph County. It is proposed to be zoned "A" Single Family upon incorporation. G. Population There are two families currently residing in the Annexation Area. H. Tax Rate The tax rates used are those of 2001 payable in 2002. The Township Rate will decrease by $.1908 per $100.00 of assessed valuation with the deletion of the Fire Fighting Fund, the Fire debt Fund and the Cumulative Fire assessments. The tax rate for the Annexation Area will increase by $2.8726 with the addition of the City and Town Rate, the Redevelopment District Rate and the South Bend Transpo Rate. The net increase in property taxes will be $2.6818 per $100.00 of assessed valuation. Table 1 shows representative tax rate information as published by the St. Joseph County Auditor. I. Assessments 2001 payable 2002, St. Joseph County Auditor property tax records: Land: $15,480.00 Improvements: $42,690.00 Net: $58,170.00 Estimated net assessment at build out for the proposed development: $320,000 J. Municipal Legislative District The Annexation Area will be in the 1st District. Mahler / Stidham Annexation Area 5 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 German Township Trustee has been notified of this annexation. SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES A. Public Works Sewer - The sanitary sewer mains are currently in place and available to service the area No additional expenditures will be needed to extend existing sewer main facilities. Water - There is currently a 12" water main on the south side of Cleveland Road. This main will provide more than adequate water capacity for the Annexation Area. A flow test taken at Olive and Cleveland Roads on July 26, 2000 indicated a static pressure of 55 psi, residual pressure of 44 psi, and a flow rate of 1048 gpm. No additional expenditures will be needed to extend existing water main facilities. Street Lighting - Street lighting, if provided, will be paid out of the Airport Economic Development Area TIF. Once installed, the maintenance and utility bill are paid by the City at a cost of approximately $13 per light per month. No determination as been made at this time on the number of street lights that will be required. For purposes of determining an approximate cost, the installation of 3 lights is assumed, but final count is to be determined at time of Public works approval of the engineering and construction drawings. 3 x 13 = $39.00 per month x 12 = $468.00 per year x 5 years = $2,340.00 Waivers of Annexation - No waivers of the right to remonstrate against an annexation are in effect for this area. Streets - The Department of Community and Economic Development has programmed improvements on Cleveland Road, which will be called Nimtz Parkway upon annexation. Improvements will be paid out of the Airport Economic Development Area TIF. Upon annexation, this portion of Cleveland Road will add mileage to the roadway inventory. The new mileage will increase distributions to the City's Motor Vehicle Highway Fund and Local Road and Street Account sufficient for street maintenance, sweeping, and snow removal. Drainage Plan - Any improvements to Cleveland Road will require an approved drainage plan. The Sewer Maintenance Bureau will maintain the storm water system with revenues from wastewater collection and treatment. Mahler / Stidham Annexation 2000 Operating Budget for the Department $2,550,312 Reconstruction/Maintenance of Roads snow removal and leaf - pick -up: 99$ 3.058 Total $3,543,370 Miles of Roadway: @472 Cost per Mile: @$7,507 New Mileage (est.) .125 miles (660') Cost for Annexation Area per year: @$938 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 22. Police patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency responses will be part of the services the City will offer to this area. 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. 2000 Operating Budget for the Department: $19,596,124 Number of Parcels in City (3/1/00): @47,378 Cost per Parcel: @$414 Proposed Number of Parcels in Area: 2 Cost for Annexation Area per year: @$828 = $828 C. Fire Department The Annexation Area will be serviced primarily by Station #11, located at 3505 North Bendix Drive approximately three point two (3.1) miles away. Additional Fire Department units would respond from Fire Station 97 located at 1616 Portage Avenue which is approximately five point seven (5.4) 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. It is not anticipated that the services of this Department will be required to a great extent in the early years of the development of this area, although monitoring will still be conducted. Therefore, the service cost of the Department Mahler / Stidham Annexation Area 7 has been reduced by two- thirds to reflect a more realistic actual cost to service the Annexation Area in the first five years. 2000 Operating Budget for the Department: $14,033,553 Number of Parcels in City (3/1/00): @47,378 Cost per Parcel: @$296 Proposed Number of Parcels in Area: 2 Cost for Annexation Area per year: @$592 / 3 = $197 D. Code Enforcement The Annexation Area will be added to Territory 8 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. It is not anticipated that the services of this Department will be required to a great extent within the early years of the development of this area, 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. 2000 Operating Budget for the Department: $1,151,497 Number of Parcels in City (3/1/00): @47,378 Cost per Parcel: @$24 Proposed Number of Parcels in Area: 2 Cost for Annexation Area per year: @$48 / 3 = $16 E. Environmental Services Environmental Services provides wastewater treatment and administers the City's sanitation service (trash pickup). These services are supported by user fees, and are paid through the Water Works billing system. Industrial customers are not served: Single family rate: $8.00 per month Senior rate: $5.50 per month. Duplex rate: $10.50 per month Tri-plex: $13.00 per month Quad: $15.00 per month Recycling fee: $1.97 per month Mahler / Stidham Annexation Area 8 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. 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. Mahler / Stidham Annexation Area 9 SECTION IV. 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 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 estimates are based on 2001 payable 2002 tax rates, taxes paid in previous years by a comparable development, estimates of units built, and no tax abatements or adjustments. 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 (by 1/3), and the costs reflected in this fiscal impact should be evaluated with this in mind.
