A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH BEND, INDIANA,ADOPTING A WRITTEN FISCAL PLAN AND
ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN
ANNEXATION AREA IN PORTAGE TOWNSHIP
(MAYFLOWER-WESTERN ANNEXATION AREA)
WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of South
Bend, Indiana, an Ordinance and a petition by all (100%) property owners which proposes the
annexation of real estate located in Portage Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana, which is more
particularly described at Section I of this Resolution; and
WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately 8.8 acres
of land now containing a restaurant and single family homes, which property is at least 12.5%
contiguous to the current City limits, i.e., approximately 19.5% contiguous, generally located on
the southwest corner of Mayflower Road and Western Avenue. It is anticipated that the
annexation area will be used for a restaurant and grocery store. This development will require a
basic level of municipal public services of a non-capital improvement nature, including police
and fire protection, street and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, snow removal, and
sewage collection, as well as services of a capital improvement nature, including street and road
construction, sidewalks, street lighting, a sanitary sewer system, a water distribution system, and
a stoiui water system and drainage plan; and
WHEREAS, the South Bend Common Council now desires to establish and adopt a
fiscal plan and establish a definite policy showing: (1) the cost estimates of services of a non-
capital nature, including police and fire protection, street and road maintenance, street sweeping,
flushing, and snow removal, and sewage collection, and other non-capital services normally
provided within the corporate boundaries; and services of a capital improvement nature including
street and road construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer extension, a water distribution
system, and a storm water system 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 (1) year
after the effective date of the annexation, and that they will be provided in a manner equivalent
in standard and scope to similar non-capital services provided to areas within the corporate
boundaries of the City of South Bend, regardless of similar topography,patterns of land use, and
population density; (5) that services of a capital improvement nature will be provided to the
annexed area within three (3) years after the effective date of the annexation within the same
manner as those services are provided to areas within the corporate boundaries of the City of
South Bend regardless of similar topography, patterns of land use, or population density, and in a
manner consistent with federal, state and local laws, procedures, and planning criteria; and (6)
the plan for hiring the employees or other governmental entities whose jobs will be eliminated by
the proposed annexation.

to be done at the expense of the developer.
I request that the attached resolution be placed on the September 28, 2015, agenda of the

Mayflower-Western Annexation Area 3
SECTION I. INTRODUCTION
This Fiscal Plan represents the City of South Bend's (hereinafter, "City") policy for the
annexation of property in Portage Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana (hereinafter,
"Annexation Area"), and was developed through the cooperative efforts of the Area Plan
Commission and the following City Departments:
Legal Department
Department of Public Works
South Bend Fire Department
South Bend Police Department
Department of Code Enforcement
Department of Community Investment
Department of Administration & Finance
SECTION II. GENERAL DATA
A. Location
The Annexation Area is located at the southwest corner of Mayflower Road and Western
Avenue. See Map 1.
B. Legal Description
The Annexation Area is part of the Southwest Quarter of Section 8, Township 37 North, Range
2 East, in Portage Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana. For a complete legal description, see
Page 15.
C. Contiguity
The Annexation Area is at least 1/8 (12.5%) contiguous to the current City limits:
Contiguous 588.9 feet 19.5%
Non-Contiguous 2,437.0 feet 80.5%
Total 3,025.9 feet 100%
D. Size of Annexation Area
The Annexation Area is approximately 8.8 acres in area.
Mayflower-Western Annexation Area 4
E. Buildings and Land Use
The Annexation Area contains one restaurant and seven single-family houses. The houses
would be demolished for a proposed grocery store.
F. Zoning&Subdivisions
The eleven properties in the Annexation Area are currently zoned "R" Single Family District
(nine properties), "B" Business District (one property), and "C" Commercial District (one
property) in St. Joseph County. With the annexation petition, the petitioner is seeking to
rezone the entire Annexation Area to "CB" Community Business District in the City. The
Annexation Area is subdivided within Grouse's Addition. The petitioners plan to replat the
properties into a single large lot.
G. Population
Zero (0) people currently reside in the Annexation Area. After development, no residents are
proposed to live in the Annexation Area.
H. Tax Rate& Impact
The tax rates used are those of 2014 payable 2015. The total tax rate for unincorporated
Portage Township is 2.9418 per $100 of taxable real estate. The total tax rate for South Bend
Portage Township is 5.9952 per$100 of taxable real estate.
Per State law, the tax caps expressed as a percentage of the gross assessed value for
different classifications of property are as follows, regardless of the property's location being
within South Bend or unincorporated St. Joseph County:
Property Type Cap
Homestead Residential 1.0%
Non-Homestead Residential 2.0%
Agricultural 2.0%
Other (Commercial) 3.0%
For at least the four years after the effective date of the annexation, the expected tax rates,
tax levies, expenditure levels, service levels, and annual debt service payments are estimated
to be approximately the same as those in effect at the time of annexation for each of the
political subdivisions to which the proposed annexation applies.
Because of the relatively small size of the Annexation Area and its assessed value relative to
the total size and tax base of the various political subdivisions, this annexation is expected, for
at least four years after the effective date of this annexation, to have a negligible impact on
Mayflower-Western Annexation Area 5
the finances and tax revenues of South Bend and other political subdivisions to which the
proposed annexation applies, on the political subdivisions in St. Joseph County not part of this
annexation, and on taxpayers not part of this annexation.

J. Municipal Legislative District

It is not anticipated that this annexation will result in the elimination of jobs for employees of
any other governmental entities. The Portage Township Trustee has been notified of this
proposed annexation.
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
Mayflower-Western Annexation Area 7
lanes, positions of driveways and access points, or regulation of traffic generated by a grocery
store. Any necessary improvements, including the provision of turn lanes and sidewalks,
would be done at the petitioner's cost.
No public capital expenditures to extend sweeping or snow removal service are anticipated.
2014 Actual Budget Report for the Department:
Expenditures: $14,384,741
Miles of Roadway in City: @512.7
Cost per Mile: @$28,057
New Mileage within Area: @0.12 miles (615 feet)
Estimated Maintenance Cost
for Annexation Area per year: @$3,367
Mayflower-Western Annexation Area 8
B. Police Department
The Annexation Area would be added to the existing Beat 28. 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 on this beat.
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 existing beat patrol. The addition of this Annexation Area will not significantly increase
response time within the beat.
The cost for servicing the proposed area is not expected to impact the existing budget of the
Police Department with any significance. The patrol costs would be assumed by the Police
Department budget. 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 possible shifting of existing resources, such as a
beat restructure.
Police services and response time in this area can be expected to be comparable with that as
in all other areas of the City. Police coverage to this area could begin immediately upon
annexation.
Note:. The cost of service for this Annexation Area is based on the number of parcels.
Household information is provided for comparative purposes.

Cost for Annexation Area per year: $8,734 (11 parcels x$794/ parcel)
Mayflower-Western Annexation Area 9
C. Fire Department
Fire Response - The South Bend Fire Department provides a fully staffed, full-time fire
department. The Annexation Area will be serviced primarily by Fire Station #6, located at
4302 Western Avenue, approximately 0.9 miles away. Approximate response time for a non-
emergency call is three minutes. Additional Fire Department units would respond from Fire
Station #4 at 220 N. Olive Street, which is approximately 2.5 miles away, and from Fire
Station #5, located at 2221 Prairie Avenue, which is approximately 3.8 miles away.
The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection problems
related to this annexation. Response times will be comparable to other areas of the City. No
additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation
Area. Fire coverage to this area could begin immediately upon annexation. Adequate water
supply will be necessary as development takes place.
Emergency Medical Response - The City will provide emergency medical response to the
Annexation Area. This area will be serviced by Medic #4, which is at Fire Station #4, located
at 220 N. Olive Street (approximately 2.5 miles away). The area would also be served by
Medic #3, which is at Fire Station #2, located at 402 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Drive
(approximately 3.8 miles away) and Medic #5, also at Fire Station #4.
Response times will be comparable to other areas of the City. No additional equipment will
need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation Area. Emergency medical
services are supported by user fees and would be available upon annexation.
Note: The cost of service for this Annexation Area is based on the number of parcels.
Household information is provided for comparative purposes.
2014 Actual Budget Report for the Department:
Expenditures (including pension cost): $35,825,136
Number of Households in City (2010): @39,760
Cost per Household: @$901
Number of Parcels in City (2015): @48,290
Cost per Parcel: @$742
Proposed Number of Households in Area: 0
Proposed Number of Parcels in Area: 11
Cost for Annexation Area per year: $8,162 (11 parcels x $742/ parcel)
D. Code Enforcement
The Annexation Area will be added to Area 7. The Department of Code Enforcement will be
able to provide services to the Annexation Area with comparable response times. The
Mayflower-Western Annexation Area 10
Department will respond to calls for service upon the effective date of the annexation. Full
and dedicated response will be in place within one year of the effective date of the
annexation.
2014 Actual Budget Report for the Department:
Expenditures: $2,146,654
Number of Parcels in City(2014): @48,290
Cost per Parcel: @$45
Proposed Number of Parcels in Area: 11
Cost for Annexation Area per year: $495 (11 parcels x$45/ parcel)
E. Environmental Services
Wastewater Treatment-Wastewater treatment services are supported by user fees, and are
paid through the Water Works billing system.
Solid Waste - Larger scale industrial, commercial, and apartment customers are generally not
served by the Bureau of Solid Waste. However, the Bureau of Solid Waste is able to provide
service to small commercial customers at$12 per month, or the prevailing rate at that time,
for a 96 gallon container with service beginning on the effective date of the annexation.
F. Administrative Services
The City of South Bend provides a wide range of services other than those noted above, such
as the Mayor's Office, the Legal Department, and Parks & Recreation.
These services are available upon the effective date of the annexation. Full and dedicated
response for non-capital services will be in place within one year of the effective date of the
annexation. Costs for these services have not been calculated.
The incorporation of the Annexation Area will not affect the provision of other services
currently provided to this property on a countywide basis. The St. Joseph County Health
Department, the St. Joseph County Public Library, the Area Plan Commission, and the St.
Joseph County/South Bend Building Department are among the countywide agencies that will
continue to provide the same type and level of services to the Annexation Area.
Countywide services will continue to be supported by the County and Township taxes that will
remain in effect.
Mayflower-Western Annexation Area 11
SECTION IV. LAND USE ANALYSIS & DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA
This proposed annexation will add to the City of South Bend all or parts of eleven parcels,
comprised of a combination of commercial, residential, and vacant land. The petitioner plans
to replat the property into a single lot for a proposed grocery store and the existing restaurant.
The Annexation Area is presently zoned "R" Single Family District, "B" Business District, and
"C" Commercial District in unincorporated St. Joseph County. A small commercial strip center
zoned "C" Commercial District in unincorporated St. Joseph County is located to the north.
Also to the north, across Western Avenue, is a church and school zoned "B" Business District
and "R" Single Family District in the County. To the east of the Annexation Area are two
businesses zoned "GB" General Business District and three houses zoned "SF1" Single Family
and Two Family District, all in the City. To the south are a tavern and a house zoned "R" Single
Family District in the County. To the west, across Hollywood Boulevard, are four houses zoned
"R" Single Family District in the County.
The Annexation Area is located at the southwest corner of Mayflower Road and Western
Avenue. Both of these streets provide strong regional access and have interchanges on the
St. Joseph Valley Parkway. With this accessible location, heavier commercial land uses are
found in the area. Even though the proposed land use may be consistent with the general
character of the area and its development trends, the petitioner should adequately screen its
site from immediately adjoining residential areas, especially to the west.
While maintaining the existing restaurant for the present time, the petitioner proposes the
removal of the single-family houses and accessory structures to build a grocery store. The
preliminary site plan shows the restaurant, a new grocery of 39,893 square feet and a parking
area providing 361 spaces. The combined site will have driveway approaches from Mayflower
Road, Western Avenue, and Hollywood Boulevard.
The petitioner should give careful consideration to pedestrian, bicycle, and bus (as applicable)
circulation, both internal to the site and connecting to nearby areas, as part of its site
planning. Sidewalks should be provided along public streets. To the greatest extent possible,
site planning and building design should be consistent with the goals of the West Side Main
Streets Revitalization Plan for Western Avenue.
Any improvements or future changes must meet the City's applicable building, zoning, and
subdivision ordinances.
Mayflower-Western Annexation Area 12
SECTION V. FISCAL IMPACT
1) Essential city services can be made available to the residents (and territory) of the
Annexation Area in a timely and comparable fashion per the requirements of State law and
this fiscal plan.
2) The City is financially able to support city services to the territory sought to be annexed.
3) Required improvements made by the petitioner and/or owner of the parcel(s) must be
made in accordance with the standards of the City of South Bend.
4) Required improvements made by the City will be completed within the time frames provided
by State law and this fiscal plan.
5)All figures are estimates. Final cost of capital expenditures, if any, will not be determined
until bids are publicly solicited, contracts are awarded, and projects are closed out.
6) Property tax revenue and land assessment estimates are based on a combination of: 2014
payable 2015 tax information, taxes paid in previous years by comparable development,
estimates of units built, estimates of unit values and land assessments, and tax abatements
or adjustments, if any. Tax rates are subject to change every year, and property tax revenues
may be subject to tax caps.
7) Department expenditures and revenues are derived from the City of South Bend Budget.
8) The estimated costs to provide services, noted in Section III, Municipal Services, is a City-
wide average based on a particular budget year. In the case of the proposed development in
the Annexation Area, some of these services may not be required or possibly requested for
many years. Hence, the cost of providing services over the first five years should be evaluated
with this in mind.
