Mayflower-Western Annexation Area 6 SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES A. Public Works Sewer - A 10"-diameter sanitary sewer pipe in Huron Street runs through the Annexation Area and connects to Scenic Drive east of Mayflower Road. Also, an 8"-diameter pipe provides service to the existing restaurant within the Annexation Area. No additional expenditures will be needed to extend sanitary sewer facilities. Development of the site requires a drainage plan. The site does not have a public storm sewer, ditch, stream, or other surface water outlet available. Retention basins and low impact means to promote infiltration of surface water will be required. The developer will be required to create a surface water pollution prevention plan and obtain a stormwater discharge permit prior to disturbing land. Water-The South Bend Water Works currently has a 10" water main on the south side of Western Avenue that crosses Mayflower Road to provide service. This water main will provide adequate service to the Annexation Area. Because the Western Avenue line is a dead-end water main from Summit Drive, Water Works recommends installing a water main from the existing stub on Mayflower Road to the existing line at Scenic Drive and Clearview Place to loop the service. Extensions of, or taps into sanitary sewer and water lines shall 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 and Sewer Utility. Street Lighting - No street lighting is currently provided on the streets within the Annexation Area. Lighting through an ongoing contract with Indiana Michigan Power can provide street lighting on wood poles with overhead wiring at a capital cost of$5,000 or less. If the developer wishes to construct and dedicate additional street lighting, especially of a decorative nature, the City may accept it for maintenance and operation, supported by property tax revenue. Waivers of Annexation - No waivers of right to remonstrate against annexation are in effect for this area. Streets -.No new public streets are proposed as part of this annexation. The eastern half of the adjoining Mayflower Road right-of-way is already within City limits. The balance of the Mayflower Road right-of-way would be annexed. Huron Street is to be vacated by the petitioner prior to the annexation. As the Annexation Area does not immediately abut Western Avenue or Hollywood Boulevard, those right-of-ways are not part of the proposed Annexation Area. A traffic impact analysis will be needed for the site to provide safe, efficient traffic movements in and out of the site on arterial streets. The analysis will predict the need for additional traffic
