JOSEPH COUNTY, IND. March 18, 1969 The Honorable Common Council Annexation Committee City of South Bend South Bend, Indiana Gentlemen: �. K. WILSON, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 129 W. COLFAX AVENUE, SOUTH BEND, INDIANA 463UI (219) 233 -2955 SUBJECT: The annexation of an area consisting of approximately 10 acres of land in the Southeast one quarter of Section 31, Township 38 North, Range 3 East located on the West side of State Road 23 south of Vaness Street. 1. NATURE OF ANNEXATION AREA: The area consists of approximately 15 acres of vacant land. The character of the surrounding properties is single family residential and related residential uses with the University of Notre Dame located immediately west of the subject property. It is proposed to develop this area as a multi- family apartment complex. 2. CITY SERVICES: a. Police Department. The City of South Bend Police Department has indicated that the annexation of this 10 acre tract will not create a problem for the department and there will be no additional costs involved. b. Fire Department. The South Bend Fire Department has indicated that it would not impose any hardship of the department to respond to alarms from this area with men and equipment and still be within the limita- tions set forth by the American Insurance Association. Common Council Annexation Committee Page 2 March 181 1969 c. Sanitation Department. The City of South Bend Sanitation Department indicated that garbage pick up service, would call for an additional man at a salary of $5,500 per year. d. Health Department. The Health Department is rendering services to this area now and has indicated that no change would be necessary if this area is annexed. e. Water Works. The City Water Works has indicated that it would be the responsibility of the property owner to extend the service to this property and that the Department would have no difficulty in supplying water service to the area. f. Street Department. This is an undeveloped area and any street construction would have to be to the city standards and therefore maintenance would be at a minimum. g. Engineering Department. The City Engineers Office has indicated that although this is not an ideal annexation from the standpoint of compactness and adjacency to the present city limits they look upon it favorably since the remainder of the area will be annexed by councilmanic ordinance. From the Departmentfs standpoint this annex- ation will not particularly increase their costs except as the cost of operation of the Department might relate to a cost per square mile of the area of the City. h. Park Department. The Park Department has indicated that Ponader Park 10.38 acres) located at Maple Lane and Douglas Roads and the Edison Park (18.03 acres) at Rockne Drive and Flag Avenue would be accessable to any residents of the area. ANNEXATION DETERMINANTS: a. THE ANNEXATION IS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CITY AND OF THE TERRITORY SOUGHT TO BE ANNEXED. Since the area is undeveloped it appears to be in the best interests that annexation take place prior to development. By doing such, City facilities and services can be provided at the time of development. Common. -Council Annexation Committee Page 3 March 18, 1969 b. THE AREA IS URBAN IN CHARACTER, BEING AN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL PART OF THE ANNEXING CITY. All areas adjacent to the municipal boundaries can presently be considered urban in character and an economic and social part of the municipality. C. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE ORDINANCE ARE FAIR AND JUST. There are no terms or conditions set forth in the ordinance. d. THE CITY IS FINANCIALLY ABLE TO PROVIDE MUNICIPAL SERVICES TO THE ANNEXED AREA WITHIN THE REASONABLY NEAR FUTURE. Since the developer will be required to pay for the cost of extending municipal services, the annexation of this area will pose no hardship of financial burden to the City. e. THE AREA SOUGHT TO BE ANNEXED, IF UNDEVELOPED, IS NEEDED FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY IN THE REASONABLY NEAR FUTURE. With a limited amount of vacant land within the City, urban development has been occuring on the periphery of the City. The area to be annexed is needed for the continuous and logical development of the City. In order to develop the petition for an apartment project, as proposed by the developer, City services and facilities will be required in the immediate future. f. THE LINES OF THE ANNEXATION ARE SO DRAWN AS TO FORM A COMPACT AREA ABUTTING THE MUNICIPALITY. Although this is not an ideal annexation from the standpoint of compactness and adjacency to the present city limits, the remainder of the surrounding area will be annexed by councilmanic ordinance in the near future. This will help to eliminate any unnecessary meandering of the municipal boundaries along rights -of -way and property lines. 4. SUMMARY: The area is comprised of approximately ten acres of vacant land. City services can be provided within the reasonably near future thereby benefiting the area. All Common Council Annexation Committee Page 4 March 18, 1969 areas contiguous to the boundaries of the city can be considered as an integ -ral part of the urban pattern by nature of its location. The annexation meets the six determinants of annexation; clies with the- ._critaria set forth in the Cityts annexation study and_is 14cated within the generalized annexation limits established in thi`�s study. - -- - - -- - -- IN CLERK'S OFFICE APR 2 41969 KATHRYN L, BLOUGH CITY CLERK, SOUTH BEND, IND.
