Drake Annexation Area S J. Municipal Legislative District The Annexation Area will be in the 6th District. K. Hiring Plan It is anticipated that this annexation will not result in the elimination of jobs for employees of any other governmental entities. The Centre Township Trustee has been notified of this Annexation. SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES A. Public Works Sewer -The sanitary sewer service on the boundary of the Annexation Area is an eight inch diameter sewer on the west side of U.S. 31. There is an existing eight inch diameter sewer on Detroit Street to the south of this site that could be extended to serve this area. Either sewer has adequate capacity to serve this annexation area. Public sewer extensions, at developer expense, will be necessary to serve any new lots created by future subdivision of this annexation area, if any. No capital expenditure would be needed for those facilities as a result of this annexation. Revenues from the development of the site will be sufficient to provide sewage collection and treatment services to the site. Water -There is no current water service available to the Annexation Area, but South Bend Water Works has the property surrounded with water mains in all four directions. There is adequate capacity at each of the water mains but the distances vary to the Annexation Area. The closest water is on the southwest corner of Pulling and US 31 South. The 8" water main terminates at a fire hydrant near the corner so any connection should be made west of the hydrant. A bore under the highway would be necessary and the total length of pipe to the property is 175 feet. North of the Annexation Area, water is available at Yoder and US 31 South. The highway has . -, limited right of way so the alley maybe the best option to install water main. Total distance -from, L; Yoder to the Annexation Area along the alley is about 750 feet.., Water is available at 31 and Lucinda to the south of the Annexation Area. The highway has limited access and the alley also has some restrictions. The best option may be a combination of road and alley. Total distance is about 1600 feet. ~. East of the Annexation Area is the Royal Oak Subdivision. Water is available on Pulling west of Buckhorn Drive about 2000 feet from the Annexation Area. Any option has flaws so Water Works will consider any secondary advantages (such as providing service to future annexation areas). Water Works will also need to determine if there are other utilities in the public right of way along any of the routes.
