Gallonage Tax 1,48 affected by a special census) Anticipated Tax Revenue Based $14.39. /capita x 120 = $401,290 x $4.36/100 Following are the services rei additional cost of furnishing are as follows: on Tax Rates and Distributions $1726.80 17496.24 19,223.04 idered by the City to the public. The these services to the proposed area Police Protection: The number of police officers required for any city is based on the population. Our present ratio being 1,5 police officers per 1000 population, on the basis of 120 residents a need for .18 officers would be indicated. The cost of this additional protection. (including equipment and patrol car) would be about $10.0. -The proposed annexation area is almost totallr'bccupied by homes; however the strip of land along the south side of Kern Road where there is room for about 16 additional residences is vacant at the present time. After development some slight increase in services would be necessary, but this increase would be more than offset by the increase in assessed valuation. Fire Protection: The need for fire protection is based on two factors -- the value of the property to be protected and the distance from the responding stations. The area under consideration lies 2 -3/4 i.'.. miles south of our existing Station 14 located on York Road, The entire length of York Road will eventually be improved which will then provide a direct route into the area and give adequate residential coverage. The relocation of Station ¢#10 to Ireland Road (this station now being constructed) will provide secondary coverage. Adequate water supply is available in this developed area. Streets and Traffic: The City Street and Traffic Departments will maintain all public streets *ithin the area. Our present cost of operation and maintenance of the street and traffic departments is $3750 per mile per year, there fore the additional cost (.78 miles) of this service would be $2925.00. Street Lighting: The annual cost of street lighting is approximately $1000 per mile. On this basis of .78 miles of streets this cost would be $780 per year. ,--Sanitation: Cost to the Sanitation Department for garbage removal for the present existing 37 residential units (at $5.00 per unit per year) would be $185.00. Parks: Erskine Park Golf Course lies lk miles to the north. The Area Plan Commission's Park Location Study calls for a 100 acre park at the southeast corner of Roosev &lt Road and U.S. 31 which is 2 miles from the area. On the basis of the present population these two parks should give adequate service. The cost of parks per capita is about $11.00 per year; there =fore on the basis of 120 residents the cost of park facilities should be indicated as $1320.00 per year. `Water Service: At present there is a 12 inch water main in Miami Road feeding into an 8 inch main in Harrow Drive which in turn feeds a complete grid system of 6 inch service mains covering the entire area of Kensington Farms, Section 3, Part 2, with adequate water service and fire protection. Ruffle 24 provides for economic analysis of any water service extension. The Water Department would not have any capital investment that will not be reimbursed by anticipated revenue. Sewer Service: Storm sewers are serving this area at the present time:' Storm water is directed to a retention basin. Sanitary Sewers are presently installed near the easterly side of the study area and will be extended on a direct sewer assessment plan whenever the area residents would demand such an improvement or when- ever a health hazard developed due to failing septic tanks. Since all local sewer construction is financed through the direct assessment plan the City would not have to anticipate a capital investment. The service and maintenance of sdch local sewers would result in a nominal increase in the Sewer Dept. budget. COST SUMMARY Police Fire Street and Traffic Street Lights Sanitation Parks Water and Sewer 10% Governmental Overhead $1800.00 none 2925.00 (.78 mi.) 780.00 185.00 1320,00 none $7000.00 700.00 $7700.00 This cost summary is based on present conditions. Future development may well increase the cost of rendering service; however, we would predict a corresponding increase in tax revenue. An analysis of the Study Area shows that: 1) 69.17% of area perimeter is contiguous to the present City Limits. 2) 64.86% of the area is platted and recorded 3) The present estimated population of the area averages at 4.03 people per acres. The proposed annexation is within the limit$ as established by the Area elan Commission Study of 1966, and we believe the annexation to be in the best interest of the City of South Bend.
