INTRODUCTION A. General This Fiscal Plan represents the City of South Bend's (hereinafter, "City ") policy for the annexation of property in Portage 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 Department of Community and Economic Development Department of Administration and Finance SECTION II. GENERAL DATA A. Location The Annexation Area is generally located on the east side of Mayflower Road, approximately 2,200 south of Sample Street. See Map 1. B. Legal Description The Annexation Area is part of the Northwest, Northeast and Southeast Quarters of Section 17, Township 37 North, Range 2 East, Portage Township, St. Joseph County, Indiana. For a complete legal description see Table 2. C. Contiguity The Annexation Area is at least 1/8 (12.5 %) contiguous to the current City limits: Contiguous 3,154.81 feet 50% Non - Contiguous 3.124.03 feet 50% Total 6,278.04 feet 100% D. Size of Annexation Area The Annexation Area is approximately 26.17 acres in area. Arbors at Belleville Park Annexation Area E. Buildings and Land Use The Arbors at Belleville Park is an apartment complex consisting of a series of 13 three -story buildings with a club house. An additional 13 three -story buildings will be constructed to the east of the existing buildings. A total of 208 units will be located within the Annexation Area. F. Zoning & Subdivisions The site is zoned "R -2" Multi- family in unincorporated St. Joseph County. It is proposed to be zoned "MF2" upon approval of the City Council and incorporation into the City of South Bend. G. Population The 2000 Census indicates that the average household size per renter - occupied units in South Bend is 2.35. 208 units would generate a population size approximately 489 (208 * 2.35 rounded). H. Tax Rate The tax rates used are those of 2002 payable in 2003. The Township Rate will decrease by $.2187 per $100.00 of assessed valuation with the deletion of the Fire Fighting Fund, Fire Equipment Debt and the Cumulative Fire assessments. The tax rate for the Annexation Area will increase by $2.1341 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 $1.9154 per $100.00 of assessed valuation. Table 1 shows representative tax rate information as published by the St. Joseph County Auditor. I. Assessments 2002 payable 2003, St. Joseph County Auditor property tax records: Land: $0.00 Improvements: $0.00 Net: $0.00 This property has no assessed value assigned to it as of the date of this fiscal plan. The Hurwich Farms apartment complex is being used as the closest available comparison. Net Assessment of Hurwich Farms is $17,208,800 (2002/2003). Arbors at Belleville Park Annexation Area 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 Portage Township Trustee has been notified of this Annexation. SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES A. Public Works Sewer The public sanitary sewer network has been extended to the property by the developer along an easement obtained from the Department of Parks and Recreation. The developer will be required to extend the necessary sewer lines to and through the proposed development. The wastewater treatment plant and the downstream collection facilities are adequately sized to handle the additional flow No additional public expenditures will be needed to extend existing sewer main facilities. Water - The public water network has been extended to the property by the developer. The apartment complex is looped with an 8" water main from Mayflower and a 6" water main from Evergreen that goes south through Belleville Park. There is sufficient capacity for the Annexation Area. No additional public expenditures will be needed to extend existing water main facilities. Street Lighting - Street lighting will be required to be installed by the developer on those rights -of- way within the subdivision. Additional revenue to the General Fund from this Annexation Area will be more than sufficient to pay for the street light operations. Waivers of Annexation - Waivers of annexation is already in place for the Annexation Area. Streets — Lombardy Drive will be extended by 1,412' to the south end of the development. The City has agreed to partner with the developer (The Sterling Group) to extend Lombardy Drive. The new street will add mileage to the roadway inventory, and this new mileage will add to the state's payments to the Motor Vehicle Highway Fund, and the Local Road and Street Fund which will be sufficient for street maintenance, sweeping and snow removal. Note: It is anticipated that only sweeping and snow plowing will be required over the initial five - year period, and that repair and replacement costs will not be needed to the fullest extent. As a result, the cost to maintain this roadway reflects a reduced cost of one - third. Drainage Plan — An approved drainage plan is in place, approved through the subdivision process. Arbors at Belleville Park Annexation Area 2002 Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: $7,427,294 State Revenue: $5,341,296 Balance: $2,086,165 Miles of Roadway in City: @471 Cost per Mile: @$4,429 New Mileage within Annexation Area(est.): @.27 miles (1,412 feet) Total anticipated Maintenance cost: @$3,336 Anticipated State revenue /mile: @$11,340 Cost for Annexation Area per year: @$3,336 / 3 = $1,112 * 2 = $2,224.00 When fully developed, this annexation area is not expected to require major capital outlays for public works vehicles or equipment. 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. B. Police Department The noted area would be expected to be added to the already existing BEAT 28. 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. It is located in an area of the city that was recently annexed into the City and is expected to continue to grow, both in commercial development as well as residential. 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 households. Because of the high density of this single parcel, this is deemed a more appropriate way to determine cost of servicing. 2002 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: $7,427,294 @42,908 @$173 @47,462 @$156 208 l $35,984 ($173 * 208) 0 Arbors at Belleville Park Annexation Area C. Fire Department The Annexation Area will be serviced primarily by Station #6, located at 4302 Western Avenue approximately one point nine (1.9) miles away. Additional Fire Department units would respond from Fire Station #5 located at 2221 Prairie Avenue which is approximately three point seven (3.7) 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. Note: Due to the multi - family nature of the Annexation Area, the cost of service is based on one building equaling one parcel. Large apartment complexes are generally well- managed and constructed, with built -in fire safety systems. A one -third cost of service credit is being applied in recognition of this. 2002 Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: Number of Parcels in City (2003): Cost per Parcel: Proposed Number of Parcels in Area: Cost for Annexation Area per year: D. Code Enforcement $15,020,769 @47,462 @$316.48 26 @$316 * 26 = $8,228 The Annexation Area will be added to Area 7. 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. It is anticipated that the services of this Department will be minimally required to service the Annexation Area in the first five years. Large apartment complexes are generally well- managed and self policing, requiring less attention from Code Enforcement. Therefore, the service cost of the Department has been reduced by two- thirds to reflect a more realistic actual cost to service the Annexation Area in the first five years. 2002 Budget Report for the Department: Expenditures: Number of Parcels in City (3/1/00): Cost per Parcel: Proposed Number of Parcels in Area: Cost for Annexation Area per year: $2,050,310 @47,462 @$43.2 265 @$11,448 / 3 = $3,816 * 2 = $7,632 (rounded) Arbors at Belleville Park Annexation Area E. Environmental Services Environmental Services provides wastewater treatment and administers the City's Solid Waste service. These services are supported by user fees, and are paid through the Water Works billing system. Industrial and apartment customers are not served: Single family rate: Senior rate: Duplex rate: Tri-plex: Quad: Recycling fee: $8.00 per month. $5.50 per month. $10.50 per month $13.00 per month $15.00 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. Arbors at Belleville Park Annexation Area SECTION IV. 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. 2002 payable 2003 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 years is adjusted, and the costs reflected in this fiscal impact should be evaluated with this in mind.
