INTRODUCTION A. General This Fiscal Plan represents the City of South Bend's (hereinafter, "City") policy for the annexation of property in Centre 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 r.. Department of Community and Economic Development Department of Administration and Finance SECTION II. GENERAL DATA A. Location The Annexation Area is generally located at the northeast corner of U.S. 31 South and Pulling Street. See Map 1. B. Legal Description The Annexation Area is part of the Southwest Quarter, of the West Half of Section 36, Township 37 North, Range 2 East; Centre Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana. For a complete legal description see Page 16. C. Contiguity The. Annexation Area is at least 1/8 (12.5%) contiguous to the current City limits: Conti~trous 129.52 feet 22.24% Non-Contiguous 452.79 feet 77.76% Total 582.31 feet 100% D. Size of Annexation Area Drake Annexation Area 4 The Annexation Area is .75 acres in area. E. Buildings and Land Use The site contains no buildings, and has an "off-premise sign" as define by the City of South Bend Zoning Ordinance that is commonly referred to as a billboard. The land is slated for uses applicable under Community Business, which for illustrative purposes only includes the following: automotive uses, clothing service, food sales and service, office and professional services, personal services, and retail. F. Zoning & Subdivisions The site is zoned "R" Residential in unincorporated St. Joseph County. It is proposed to be zoned "CB" Community Business upon approval of the City Council and incorporation into the City of ' South Bend. G. Population Zero H. Tax Rate The tax rates used are those of 2005 payable in 2006. The Township Rate will decrease by $0.1155 per $100.00 of assessed valuation with the deletion of the Fire Fighting Fund and the Cumulative Fire assessments. The tax rate for the Annexation Area will increase by $2.2971 with the addition of the City and. Town Rate, the Redevelopment District Rate and the South Bend Transpo Rate. The net increase in property taxes will be $2.1816 per $100.00 of assessed valuation. Table 2 shows representative tax rate information as published by the St. Joseph County Auditor. I. Assessments 2005 payable 2006, St. Joseph County Auditor property tax records: Land: $15,000.00 Improvements: $00.00 Net: ~ $15,000.00 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. Drake Annexation Area 6 Extensions of, or taps into sanitary sewer and water lines are governed by I.C. 36-9-22-2, I.C. 8-1.5-3, and I.C. 8-1.5-4 and the rules and regulations of the South Bend Water Works and Sewer Utility. Street Lighting -Additional revenue to the General Fund from this Annexation Area will be more than sufficient to pay for street light operations. Waivers of Annexation - No waivers of annexation are in effect for the Annexation Area. Streets -The Indiana Department of Transportation maintains and operates U.S. 31. There is no expense to the City of South Bend to maintain this roadway. Drainage Plan -Drainage facilities will be required to be constructed by the developer and meet the latest City of South Bend standards upon development. General Budget Analysis 2001 Actual Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: $6,228,676 Miles of Roadway in City: @471 Cost per Mile: @$13,224 New Mileage within Area: @ 0 miles Estimated Maintenance cost for Annexation Area per year: @ 0 B. Police Department s ;~ The Annexation Area would be expected to be added to the already existing BEAT 15. Police patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency response 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 to this beat. However, due to the nature of the type of use proposed, calls for service can increase at any time for various reasons. 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 already existing beat patrol at this time. The area under consideration is not expected to cause any unusual problems. At the present time the cost for servicing the proposed area is not expected to impact the existing budget of the Police Department with any significance. 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 possibly shifting of existing..., resources, such as a beat restructure. Drake Annexation Area ~ Police services and response time in this area can be expected to be comparable and consistent with that as in all other areas of the City. Police coverage to this area could begin immediately upon annexation and coordination of the conversion of the 911 emergency phone systems for that area. _, _ ,;' . Note: The cost of service for this Annexation Area is based on the number of parcels. Household information is provided for comparative purposes. 2001 Actual Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: Number of Households in City (2000): Cost per Household: Number of Parcels in City (2003): Cost per Parcel: Proposed Number of Households in Area: Number of new Parcels: Cost for Annexation Area per year: $21,176,193 @42,908 @$494 @47,462 @$446 0 2 $ 892 (2 parcel x $446 cost /parcel) C. Fire Department Fire Response -The City provides a fully staffed, full time fire department housed in 11 fire stations strategically located throughout the city. The Annexation Area will be serviced primarily by Station #10, located at 5301 York Road, approximately 2.1 miles away. Additional Fire Department units would respond from Fire Station #8 located at 2402 Twyckenham Drive which is approximately 3.5 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. Adequate water supply will be necessary as development takes place. The Fire Department will continue to review and monitor response times in this area and make necessary recommendations to improve response times that are comparable to other areas of the City. Emergency Medical Response -The City, under contract with St. Joseph County, provides emergency medical response to the unincorporated areas of St. Joseph County. Of the seven ambulances currently in service, 3 are dedicated for response to the unincorporated areas. 'These are Medic Units #10, 11, and 12. The Annexation Area is currently being serviced by Medic #10, located at Fire Station #10 at 5303 York Road. Upon incorporation, the Annexation Area will be serviced by Medic #1, also located at Fire Station #10. Emergency medical response will continue to be provided by the City of South Bend. 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. Drake Annexation Area 8 Note: The cost of service for this Annexation Area is based on the number of parcels. Household information is provided for comparative purposes. 2001 Actual Budget Report for the Department: Fire Prevention & Administration & Operations EMS Pensions & Benefits Expenditures: $10,265,270 $3,128,226 $6,140,722 Number of Households in City (2000): @42,908 Cost per Household: @$350 @$23 @$143 Number of Parcels in City (2003): @47,462 Cost per Parcel: @$316 @$21 @$129 Proposed Number of Households in Area: 0 Number of new Parcels: 2 Cost for Annexation Area per year: @$632 @$42 @$258 Total: $932 D. Code Enforcement The Annexation Area will be added to Area 6. The Department of Code Enforcement will be able to provide services to the Annexation Area with comparable response times. The 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. 2001 Actual Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: $2,165,730 Number of Parcels in City (3/1/00): @47,462 " Cost per Parcel: @$46 Proposed Number of Parcels in Area: 2 Cost for Annexation Area per year: $92 E. Environmental Services Wastewater Treatment - Wastewater treatment services are supported by user fees, and are paid through the Water Works billing system. Solid Waste -Industrial, commercial and apartment customers are not served by the Bureau of Solid Waste. The Annexation Area will contain commercial business uses. This use will have centralized waste collection locations. A licensed private waste hauler will be required to serve this development. For reference purposes, the following Bureau of Solid Waste rates apply for residential customers: Drake Annexation Area 9 Single family rate: Senior rate: Duplex rate: Tri-plex: Quad: Recycling fee: $8.80 per month. $5.50 per month. $13.80 per month $18.80 per month $23.80 per month $1.97 per month 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 the 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 effect the provision of other services currently provided to this property on a county-wide 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 some of the county-wide agencies and their services that will continue to provide the same type and level of services to the Annexation Area. . County-wide services will continue to be supported by the County and Township tax rates that will remain in effect. SECTION IV. LAND USE ANALYSIS & DEVELOPMENT CRITERIA As with any new development, the proposed use and development of this site becomes important relative to its relationship with the existing, surrounding uses. City Plan, South Bend's comprehensive plan, notes that land use relationships, pedestrian movement/safety and vehicular site access are important elements to be addressed in developments of all kinds. City Plan also expresses a need to consider how buildings relate to the street. Building design that is sensitive to massing, shape, scale and finishes will ensure that private development will enhance and reinforce the City's commitment to development and design of the highest quality. Land Use-Transportation Analysis The Annexation Area is an approximately .75 acres in size. Land directly north is zoned "C" , :'. Commercial in unincorporated St. Joseph County, and land to the west across U.S. 31 is zoned "CB" Community Business in the City of South Bend. The property to the east and south is zoned "R" Residential in unincorporated St. Joseph County. The Annexation Area is located along a commercial corridor that contains a variety of uses. Drake Annexation Area 10 Kern Road to the south of the annexation area serves as the vehicular access for new, residential. .growth occurring nearby. As part of the INDOT project to relocate US 31 between Plymouth and South Bend, Kern Road is designated to serve as a diamond interchange point that will.provide access to old U.S. 31. Grade separation is also planned at Main Street and the existing U.S. 31 to facilitate proper vehicular safety. The planned INDOT improvements will require the acquisition of the commercial businesses directly west-across U.S. 31-of the Annexation Area, and will require a portion of old U.S. 31 in front of the Annexation Area. As such, there should be consideration given to vehicular access to the Annexation Area. The current site-plan submitted by the petitioner calls for vehicular access to take place on Pulling Street, which may be problematic due to the narrow width of the street. However, future improvements by INDOT will alleviate these concerns and make Pulling Street access desirable. Please see the map provided on page 18 for a graphic illustration of the planned INDOT improvements. The plans that have been unveiled propose a single story structure for uses found under the Community Business zoning classification. The City Plan Land Use Map illustrates that the area between the existing U.S. 31 and the new U.S. 31 alignment should support commercial uses. It is anticipated that with the planned improvement to U.S. 31 additional development will occur in this area over the next 10-20 years. Given the surrounding zoning and development patterns, the proposed "CB" zoning classification ; request is appropriate for the annexation area. However, more detailed land use planning is needed for areas to the south and north of Kern Road to ensure that future development occurs in a coordinated fashion. Development Criteria It should also be required that neo-traditional building/site design elements be included in terms of context, setback, orientation, spacing, style, massing, height, entry, fenestration, materials, accessory buildings, landscape buffering and lighting that achieve development and design of the highest possible quality. It is required that the Annexation Area integrate harmoniously with the surrounding residential areas to the east. All screening, signage vehicular access shall conform to the .latest City of South Bend standards and ordinances. In consideration of pedestrian safety and proper vehicular movement, it is required as a condition of rezoning and annexation that the developers give very careful consideration to vehicular access and circulation as well as pedestrian movement for the developments within the annexation area. In this regard the annexation and rezoning is subject to the following condition: A traffic impact analysis of the proposed development and site plan to guide the determination of roadway modifications and intersection controls necessary and sufficient, at the developers' expense, to provide safe and orderly traffic movements. Building plans and other information to satisfy these requirements must be submitted by the developer to the City as part of the development review process. Failure to comply with all the conditions may result in the City's repeal of annexation. Drake Annexation Area 11 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 parcels 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 provide 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: 2005 payable 2006 tax rates, taxes paid in previous years by a 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. 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 will not be required or possibly requested for many years. Hence, the cost of providing services over the first five should be evaluated with this in mind. Drake Annexation Area 12 TABLE 1 Summary Table -Estimated Fiscal Impact Expenditures Capital (est.)
