Drake Annexation Area Main Street and its intersection with Michigan Street, within the annexation area, do not meet current geometric standards for roadways that serve more traffic than currently exists. The multi-story motel proposed for this site will generate more vehicle trips on Main Street and through the Main/LJ.S. 31 intersection than currently use those facilities. Thtts, the potential developer will steed to make a traffic impact analysis of the proposed development at:d site plan to guide a determination of roadway modifications and intersection controls necessary and sufficient to provide safe and orderly traffic movements. The Indiana Department of Transportation has undertaken a project to relocate US31 between Plymouth and South Bend. That project will impact this property with a proposed taking or real estate on the west and Main Street realignment on the east. Drainage Plan -Drainage facilities will be required to be constructed by the developer and meet the latest City of South Bend standards. General Budget Analysis 2001 Actual Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: Miles of Roadway in City: Cost per Mile: New Mileage within Area: Estimated Maintenance cost for Annexation Area per year: 86,228,676 @471 @813,224 @ 0 miles @0 B. Police Department The Annexation 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. However, due to the nature of the type of use proposed, calls for service can increase at aiiv time for various reasons. 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. At the present time the cost for servicing the proposed area is not expected to impact the existing budget of the Police Department with any significance. 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 possibly shifting of existing resources, such as a beat restructure. 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.
