IV. PROVISION OF CITY SERVICES <br />A. Public Works <br />No expenditure of funds by the City will be required to provide <br />capital improvements due to the developer providing streets, street <br />lighting, sewer facilities, water facilities and stormwater <br />drainage facilities within the Annexation Area. <br />Water lines of sufficient size and capacity are available from <br />both Ironwood and Inwood Roads. Sewer lines are also adjacent to <br />the Annexation Area. The wastewater treatment and collection <br />systems can provide service to the proposed area without any <br />additional expenditures by the City. <br />The City also can provide solid waste collection services to the <br />Annexation Area without additional equipment or personnel. <br />B. Police Protection <br />The Annexation Area will be added to Beat 15. Police officials do <br />not anticpate that the addition of the development will increase <br />signifcantly the call for police services. Routine patrol and law <br />enforcement can be provided without hiring additional officers or <br />purchasing additional equipment. <br />Police patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency responses will <br />be a part of the services the City will offer to the Annexation <br />Area. Police protection will be furnished to the Annexation Area <br />within one (1) year after the effective date of the annexation. <br />C. Fire Protection <br />The Annexation Area is located approximately 2.6 miles from South <br />Bend Fire Department Station Number 10 at 308 West Ireland Road. <br />Additional Fire Department units will respond, including engine <br />Number 8, which is located at 2402 Twykenham, approximately 2.0 <br />miles from the Annexation Area. Response times will be comparable <br />to other areas of the City. <br />The Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection <br />problems related to the proposed development. The Fire <br />Department's final approval of the project will require examination <br />and approval of the site plan, including the location of any fire <br />hydrants. No additional equipment will need to be purchased or <br />personnel hired to provide fire protection to the Annexation Area. <br />The long range plan, already in place, provides for a continual <br />review of the needs for additional personnel and equipment for all <br />areas of the City. Relocation of Station Number 10 nearer to the <br />southeast side of South Bend is also being considered. <br />-2- <br />
