The German Township Trustee has been notified of this annexation. SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES A. Public Works Sewer - The proposed Field Point Phase II, subdivision will extend 8 inch sanitary sewer in the Sandlewood Drive which will abut Maple Rd. (Unimproved), located in this proposed annexation area. Water - City water is available to this site with an existing 12 inch main on Portage Rd. and a 12 inch main on Brick Rd. which abuts this site. No waivers for water or sewer exist on file. It is noted that easements may need to be acquired for the sewer and water. Sanitary sewer and water facilities have the capacity to serve the Annexation Area. Matteo Annexation Area Public improvements within the Annexation Area, such as street lights, roads, curbs and sidewalks, should be at the expense of the developer. Improvements will be able to be maintained without additional expense. 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 Annexation Area will be added to Beat 22. Police coverage can be expected to begin shortly after the effective date of the annexation. Police patrols, traffic enforcement and emergency responses will be part of the services the City will offer to the area. Police services and response time in this area can be expected to be comparable and consistent with that as in other parts of the City. C. Fire Department The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection problems related to this annexation. The Annexation Area is located approximately 1.5 miles from Station #11, located at 3505 North Bendix Drive. Additional Fire Department units would respond from Fire Station #7 at 1616 Portage Avenue which is approximately 3.5 miles away.
