within the corporate boundaries, and services of a capital
improvement nature, including street construction, street lighting,
water facilities, sewer facilities, and storm water drainage
facilities to be furnished to the territory to be annexed; (2) the
method(s) of financing those services; (3) the plan for the
organization and extension of those services; (4) that services of a
non- capital nature will be provided to the annexed area within one

will be provided in a manner equivalent in standard and scope to
similar non - capital services provided to areas within the corporate

Water Works Commissioners of the City of South Bend have approved a
written fiscal plan and established a policy for the provision of
services to the territory to be annexed which plan and policy, as it

., South Bend, IN 46615.
SECTION II. REQUIREMENTS OF STATE ANNEXATION LAW
A. Applicability
This fiscal plan meets the requirements of state law by adhering
to the appropriate sections of the Indiana Code relative to
contiguity (36- 4- 3 -1.5); the requirements pertaining to petitions
requesting an ordinance to annex private lands to the municipality
(36- 4 -3 -5); and all other applicable provisions relative tonotice,
publication and recordation. More specific and detailed
information, addressing the provisions of the applicable sections
of State law, can be found in the appropriate sections of this
fiscal plan.
B. Petition by Property Owners
Indiana Code 36- 4- 3- 5(a)(1)(B) requires that the owners of
seventy -five percent (75 %) of the total assessed value of the
land for property tax purposes sign the petition requesting the
municipality for an ordinance to be annexed to the municipality.
Since there is only one property owner involved, 100% of the
assessed value of the property is represented in the petition
requesting annexation.
SECTION III. GENERAL DATA
A. Location and Access
The Annexation Area is located at the nortwest corner of
Killington Way and Bromley Chase, which is approximately 220 feet
east of Ironwood Road. A Vicinity Map and an Annexation Area Map,
titled as such and showing the Annexation Area, can be found in
the Appendix as Maps 1 and 2. The Annexation Area is identified
on the Auditor's tax maps as Tax Key Numbers 14- 1035 -0590
(partial), and 14- 1035 - 059017 (Lot 26 of Stonehedge Subdivision,
Sec. 1).
Access to the Annexation Area is from Killington Way and Bromley
Chase, both of which are public streets.
B. Legal Description
The Annexation Area is part of the northwest Quarter of Section
32, Township 37 North, Range 3 East, Penn Township. A complete
legal description for the Annexation Area can be found in the
Appendix on Table 2.
C.. Contiguity
The Annexation Area is at least one -eight (1/8), or 12.5%
contiguous to the South Bend City limits:
Contiguous Non- Contiguous Total
524.67' 887.88' 1412.55'
37% 63% 100%
D. Size
The size of the Annexation Area is 1.84 acres.
E
E. Buildings and Land Use
The Annexation Area is currently undeveloped, and has no
structures on it.
It is the City's understanding that the contingent purchaser
intends to construct a church on the property.
F. Zoning
The Annexation Area is presently zoned "R" Residential, in
unincorporated St. Joseph County. Upon annexation it will be
zoned "A" Residential per the requirements of Chapter 21 of the
Municipal Code of the City of South Bend.
G. Tax Rate and Assessment
Since the City of South Bend will be providing fire service upon
incorporation of the Annexation Area, the Township Rate will
decrease by $.4095 per $100.00 of assessed valuation with the
deletion of the Fire Fighting Fund, the Fire Debt Fund, and the
Cumulative Fire Fund.
The tax rate for the Annexation Area will increase by $5.5989 per
$100.00 of assessed valuation 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 $5.1894 per $100.00 of
assessed valuation. The tax rates used are those of 1991 payable
in 1992. Table 3 in the Appendix shows the representative tax
rate information as published by the St. Joseph County Auditor.
The current net assessment of the Annexation Area cannot be
accurately determined at this time. Although the assessment of
lot 26 is readily available, the remainder of the Annexation Area
is a small portion of tax parcel 14- 1035 -0590. The assessment for
Lot 26 is $270.00 resulting in a tax of $35.16 (payable 1992).
Since the Annexation Area is being developed for a church, the
property will not be assessed for taxing purposes.
H.Councilmanic District
The Annexation Area will be assigned to Councilmanic District 5.
SECTION IV. MUNICIPAL SERVICES
A. Public Works
The Department does not anticipate any additional costs to provide
services to the Annexation Area.
City sanitary sewer and water are already available to the
property. An 8" sewer and a 10" water line are in the right -of-
way of Bromley Chase abuting Lot 26.
3
Extensions of, or taps into said sewer and water lines are to 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.
B. Police Department
The Annexation Area is adjacent to Beat 15, and will be serviced
by existing police units through routine patrol and law
enforcement activities.
Police officials anticipate that police activity will probably be
minimal due to the nature of the proposed development.
Police patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency responses will
be a part of the services the City will offer to the area. The
Police Department anticipates no unusual problems with the
annexation of this area into 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 #8, located
at 2402 Twyckenham Drive. Additional responding units would be
Engine #10 located approximately 2.5 miles away at 308 W. Ireland
Road.
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.
D. Code Enforcement
The Department of Code Enforcement can provide services to this
area at no additional cost to the City.
E. Administrative Services
The incorporation of the Annexation Area will not effect the
provision to the Annexation Area of other services currently being
provided on a county -wide basis. The St. Joseph County Health
Department, The Humane Society of St. Joseph County, 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 currently available
to it now.
Other agencies such as the Park Department, the Department of
Economic Development, the Department of Administration and Finance
and the Legal Department, will also be in a position to provide
appropriate service to the Annexation Area at the same level as is
currently being provided to other areas of the City.
4
SECTION V. FISCAL IMPACT
Based upon the service reports provided by City agencies, the
fiscal impact upon the City will be minimal, and services of a
capital nature will not be necessary to be provided in the next
three years. None of the City departments anticipate capital
expenditures in the provision of services to the Annexation Area.
Administrative costs, or expenditures of a non - capital nature will
be absorbed by the City budget.
SECTION VI. RECOMMENDATION
This fiscal plan shows that the Annexation Area meets the
requirements of the applicable State Statutes, and that the City
is physically and financially able to provide municipal services
to the territory seeking voluntary annexation.
It is recommended that this fiscal plan be adopted and that the
Petition for Annexation into the City of South Bend be approved
and that the Annexation Area be accepted into the City after
passage of the annexation ordinance, approval by the Mayor, and
proper publication and notice.
