<br />to the territory to be annexed; (2) the method(s) of financing those services; (3) the plan for the
<br />organization and extension of those services; (4) that services of a non -capital nature will be
<br />provided to the annexed area within one (1) year after the effective date of the annexation, and

<br />of similar topography, patterns of land use, and population density; (5) that services of a capital
<br />improvement nature will be provided to the annexed area within three (3) years after the
<br />effective date of the annexation within the same manner as those services are provided to areas
