Extensions of, or taps into said sewer and water lines are to be <br />governed by I.C. 36- 9 -22 -2, I.C. 8 -1.5 -3 and -4, and the rules and <br />regulations of the South Bend Water Works. <br />B. Police Department <br />The Annexation Area is adjacent to Beat 15, and will be serviced <br />by existing police units through routine patrol and law <br />enforcement activities. <br />Police officials anticipate that police activity will probably be <br />minimal due to the nature of the proposed development. <br />Police patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency responses will <br />be a part of the services the City will offer to the area. The <br />Police Department anticipates no unusual problems with the <br />annexation of this area into the City. <br />C. Fire Department <br />The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire <br />protection problems related to this annexation. The Annexation <br />Area is located approximately 1.5 miles from Station #8, located <br />at 2402 Twyckenham Drive. Additional responding units would be <br />Engine #10 located approximately 2.5 miles away at 308 W. Ireland <br />Road. <br />Fire officials note that response times will be comparable to <br />other areas of the City, and that no additional equipment will <br />need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation <br />Area. <br />D. Code Enforcement <br />The Department of Code Enforcement can provide services to this <br />area at no additional cost to the City. <br />E. Administrative Services <br />The incorporation of the Annexation Area will not effect the <br />provision to the Annexation Area of other services currently being <br />provided on a county -wide basis. The St. Joseph County Health <br />Department, The Humane Society of St. Joseph County, the St. <br />Joseph County Public Library, the Area Plan Commission and the St. <br />Joseph County /South Bend Building Department are some of the <br />county -wide agencies that will continue to provide the same type <br />and level of services to the Annexation Area currently available <br />to it now. <br />Other agencies such as the Park Department, the Department of <br />Economic Development, the Department of Administration and Finance <br />and the Legal Department, will also be in a position to provide <br />appropriate service to the Annexation Area at the same level as is <br />currently being provided to other areas of the City. <br />4 <br />
