Dan Fucrbringer Annexation Area 3
SECTION I. INTRODUCTION
A. General
This Fiscal Plan represents the City of South Bend's (hereinafter, "City ") policy for the annexation
of property in German Township, St. Joseph County (hereinafter, "Annexation Area "), and was
developed through the cooperative efforts of the Area Plan Commission and the following City
Departments:
Legal Department
Department of Public Works
South Bend Fire Department
South Bend Police Department
Department of Code Enforcement
Department of Community and Economic Development
Department of Administration and Finance
B. Need For Annexation of New Area
The City of South Bend, in partnership with the South Bend Redevelopment Authority and the St.
Joseph County Airport Authority, initiated a regional economic development project involving the
development of over 3,500 acres surrounding the Michiana Regional Airport and the Toll
Road./U.S. 31 Bypass. Then called the Airport 2010 project, it was contemplated to be an ongoing
private - public partnership resulting in hundreds of millions of dollars of private investment, and
thousands of jobs for north - central Indiana.
The potential development of the Annexation Area is well within the scope of activity that was
anticipated, and encouraged, for this part of the County. For these reasons, it is desirable that the
Annexation Area have the same development standards as its neighboring properties in the City.
Development of properties adjacent the Annexation Area and within the City, are subject to the
ordinances and standards of the City; development of the Annexation Area is subject to the
ordinances and standards of St. Joseph County. The ordinances and development standards of the
City and of St. Joseph County are not identical, nor are they necessarily compatible. Since the
Annexation Area is contiguous to the City yet subject to different development standards, zoning
and other ordinances, planning for the development of the City in this vicinity is inherently more
difficult and potentially frustrated. The Annexation Area, therefor, is needed and can be used by
the City for development, and is a natural and logical extension of the City boundary.

other governmental entities. The German Township Trustee has been notified of this annexation.
SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES
A. Public Works
Since the Annexation Area is a parcel of land that will be joined to a parcel that already has
existing services, no new utilities are required.
B. Police Department

after the effective date of the annexation.
Dun Fuerbrit Ker Annexalinn Area 8
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.
Fire officials note that response times will be comparable to other areas of the City, and that no
additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation Area.

The Department of Code Enforcement can provide services to the Annexation Area with a
response time that is similar to the rest of the City, and with no additional increase in manpower or
equipment.
E. Administrative Services
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 that will continue to provide the
same type and level of services to the Annexation Area.
SECTION IV. FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of providing city services to the Annexation Area can be absorbed by Department
budgets.
SECTION V. APPROVAL
Approved by the City of South Bend Common Council this day of , 1997.
