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 GERMAN TOWNSHIP
(PORTAGE ROAD UNINCORPORATED TRIANGLE 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 German 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 0.85 acres
of land, which property is at least 12.5% contiguous to the current City limits, i.e., approximately
100% contiguous, generally located just north of the intersection of Portage and Appaloosa with
a postal address of 52610 Portage Road. It is anticipated that the annexation area will be
developed for a commercial building and a restaurant .under the "CB" (Commercial Business)
zoning classification as defined by the City of South Bend's Zoning Ordinance. This
development will require a basic level of municipal public services of anon-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 storm 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 anon-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 anon-capital nature will be provided to the annexed azea within one (1) year
after the effective date of the annexation, and that they will be provided in a manner equivalent
in standazd and scope to similar non-capital services provided to azeas 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA, AS FOLLOWS:

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.
Section V. This Resolution shall be effective from and of the date of adoption by the
Common Council and approval by the Mayor.

Portage Road Unincorporated Triangle Annexation Area 5
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 German Township Trustee has
been notified of this Annexation.
SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES
A. Public Works
Sewer -There is a sanitary sewer on the Portage Road boundary of this site. It is a
fifteen inch diameter pipe. It has adequate capacity for the annexation area.
Water -The South Bend Water Works currently has a 12" water main on the west
side of Portage that has more than adequate capacity for 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 - If the developer wishes to construct and dedicate additional or
decorative street lighting, the City will accept it for maintenance and operation.
Otherwise the annexation area property taxes will support additional contract street
lighting on Portage.
Streets - No new streets will be brought into the City's inventory. The City of South
Bend already maintains Portage Road along this area, so no additional capital
expenditures will be necessary.
A recently developed Kentucky Fried Chicken and the proposed Sonic Restaurant
to the north have sidewalks. As such, sidewalks will be required for this development.
Drainage P/an -Drainage facilities will be required to be constructed by the
developer and meet the latest City of South Bend standards.
Waivers of Annexation - No waivers of annexation are in effect for the Annexation
Area.

B. Police Department
The Annexation Area would be expected to be added to the already existing BEAT 22.
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 to 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 already existing beat patrol at this time. The area under
consideration is not expected to cause any unusual problems. Cost for servicing this
area would be expected to be absorbed by the existing budget of the Police
Department, as the addition of this area would not be significant to the point of
having to increase any budgetary items. 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 system 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.

Cost for Annexation Area per year: $562 (1 parcel x $562 cost /parcel)
C. Fire Department
Fire Response -The City provides a fully staffed, full time fire department. The
Annexation Area will be serviced primarily by Station #11, located at 3505 N. Bendix
Road, approximately 0.6 miles away. Additional Fire Department units would respond
from Fire Station #7 located at 1616 Portage Avenue which is approximately 2.9 miles
away and Fire Station #4 at 220 N. Olive St which is approximately 4.8 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. Adequate water supply will be necessary as
development takes place.
Portage Road Unincorporated Triangle Annexation Area 7
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 #11, stationed at 3505 Bendix Drive. Upon
incorporation, the Annexation Area will be serviced by Medic #4, also located at Fire
Station #4, located at 220 N. Olive Street and Medic #3, located at Fire Station #2,
402 Martin Luther King Drive.
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.
Note: The cost of service for this Annexation Area is based on the number of parcels.

E. Environmental Services
Wastewater Treatment - Wastewater treatment services are supported by user
fees, and are paid through the Water Works billing system.

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.
Portage Road Unincorporated Triangle Annexation Area 9
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, and
planned uses. City Plan's Future Land Use Map identifies the parcels adjacent to
Portage Road between Cleveland and the Corporate Limits to be developed for
commercial purposes with the exception of the site of the Hurwich Farms Apartments.
As such, this annexation and rezoning request is consistent with City Plan, South
Bend's comprehensive plan.
The Annexation Area is an approximately 0.85 acres in size and is completely
surrounded by the City of South Bend. Adjacent land in South Bend to the north is the
site of the proposed Sonic Restaurant. To the west is zoned ~~CB" Community Business
and the East is zoned "MF2" Multi-Family. Significant commercial development has
occurred, and is expected to continue, at the Cleveland and Portage Road commercial
node.
Spacing, style, massing, height, entry, fenestration, materials, accessory buildings,
landscape buffering and lighting should be given additional review during the
development review process to achieve development and design of the highest
possible quality. Sidewalks will be required along Portage to ensure a continuous
pathway to the buildings to the north that have apre-existing sidewalk. Building plans
and other information to satisfy the requirements noted above 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.
Portage Road Unincorporated Triang/e Annexation Area l0
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: 2007 payable 2008 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.
