Cataldo Annexation Area 6 SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES A. Public Works Sewer - A 12 "- diameter sanitary sewer pipe runs along the east side of Renewable Road (formerly New Energy Drive), about 500 feet northeast of the Annexation Area. This pipe has adequate capacity for the Annexation Area but would have to be extended to the western edge of the Annexation Area via a 36" gravity line at the petitioner's cost. Development of the site requires City approval of a drainage plan that meets the City's requirement to store on site all runoff from developed areas. The petitioner will also 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 north side of Prairie Avenue (State Road 23) that ends near Renewable Road, about 700 feet from the Annexation Area. This water main would need to be extended by the petitioner to the western edge of the Annexation Area but would provide adequate pressure to the Annexation Area. 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. As necessary, street lighting on wood poles with overhead wiring can be provided through an ongoing contract with Indiana Michigan Power 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 or with underground wiring, 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 only public right - of -way within the Annexation Area is State Road 23, a state highway that will continue to be maintained by the Indiana Department of Transportation. Thus, the City will not have any additional street maintenance expenses, and no additional gas tax reimbursements will be realized. An INDOT permit will be required for any new driveway approaches to private property. The petitioner shall provide curb and sidewalk along the north side of State Road 23.
