US 31 South Annexation Area 6
SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES
A. Public Works
Sewer - An existing 30 -inch sanitary sewer is located at the intersection of Ruby and Topaz
Streets. This sewer can be extended with a 24 -inch sewer south on Ruby Street to Johnson Road,
then east to Main Street, then south to US 31 South, then south to Kem Road. The sewer would
be reduced in size to an 18 -inch pipe, which would continue south on US 31 South for
approximately 4,000'. This sanitary sewer extension has the capacity to handle the additional load
and service the Annexation Area. The cost extend the sewer is $435,000. A seperate sewer
extension to service the residential properties around Jackson Road and Main Street will be
required. The cost for this extension is estimated at approximately $80,000.
Water - There is an existing 12 -inch water line at the intersection of Johnson Road and US 31
South. This 12 -inch water line would be extended west to Main Street, then south to US 31 South,
then south to the proposed commercial development. This water line extension has the capacity to
service the Annexation Area. The cost to extend the water is $375,592.00. A seperate water
extension to service the residential properties around Jackson Road and Main Street will be
required. The cost for this extension is estimated at approximately $250,000.
Storm Sewer - No storm sewers exist in the area. All storm water is to be retained on site.
Street Lights - The estimated cost to install street lights is $50,000
Other Capital Expenditures - An increased capital expenditure to maintain streets is estimated to
be at $50,000
Public improvements within the Annexation Area, such as street lights, roads, curbs and sidewalks
are to be at the expense of the developers. Improvements will be able to be maintained without
additional expense.
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 Utilities.
Exact locations and routes of the sewer and water extensions will be determined at the design stage
B. Police Department
The Annexation Area will be added to Beat 15. The expansion of Beat 15 will extend the Beat
approximately 1.5 miles south of the present City limits currently at the St. Joseph Valley Parkway
and US 31 interchange. Police coverage can be expected to begin shortly after the effective date of
the annexation.
The Department notes that the annexation of this area will require police officers to respond to
typical residential property crimes such as vandalism and auto larcenies. Commercial areas are
generally prone to drive -offs and robberies, although this area has not been subject to a high
US 31 South Annexation Area 7
volume of such incidences in the past. The proposed retail stores may require additional police
response.
The Department further notes that traffic enforcement is a concern in this area. The volume of
traffic and the number of accidents over the past year indicates that the request for police
assistance will increase in the Beat.
The Department notes that police units could be expected to provide service to the proposed
annexation area. Beat 15 may need future reconfiguration to better service its area, especially
since other Beats may not be able to provide efficient support for back up calls. Additional growth
on the southside may require a new police beat, which would effect other beats in the City.
C. Fire Department
The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection problems related to
this annexation. The Annexation Area is located approximately 2 miles from Station #10, located
at 308 West Ireland Road. Additional Fire Department units would respond from the new Fire
Station #10 to be located at York Road, just south of Jackson Road, approximately 5 miles away.
Fire officials note that response times will be comparable to other areas of the City, and that no
additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation Area.
D. Code Enforcement
The Department of Code Enforcement can provide services to the Annexation Area with no
additional increase in manpower or equipment.
E. Environmental Services
The Division of Environmental Services notes that service will be offered as needed. The service
will be offered at a rate of $8.00 per month, or $5.50 per month for senior citizens.
F. Administrative Services
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 that will continue to provide the
same type and level of services to the Annexation Area.
US 31 South Annexation Area 8
SECTION IV. FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of providing city services to the Annexation Area can be absorbed by Department
budgets:
1) essential city services and facilities are or can be made available to the residents of the Annexation Area
2) the city is physically and financially able to provide city services to the territory sought to be annexed
Summary Table - Fiscal Impact
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. Property tax
estimates are based on 1997 payable 1998 tax rates, taxes paid in previous years by a comparable
development, estimates of units built, and no tax abatements. Tax rates are subject to change

US 31 South Annexation Area
SECTION III. MUNICIPAL SERVICES
A. Public Works
Sewer - An existing 30 -inch sanitary sewer is located at the intersection of Ruby and Topaz
Streets. This sewer can be extended with a 24 -inch sewer south on Ruby Street to Johnson Road,
then east to Main Street, then south to US 31 South, then south to Kern Road. The sewer would
be reduced in size to an 18 -inch pipe, which would continue south on US 31 South for
approximately 4,000'. This sanitary sewer extension has the capacity to handle the additional load
and service the Annexation Area. The cost extend the sewer is $435,000. A seperate sewer
extension to service the residential properties around Jackson Road and Main Street will be
required. The cost for this extension is estimated at approximately $80,000.
Water - There is an existing 12 -inch water line at the intersection of Johnson Road and US 31
South. This 12 -inch water line would be extended west to Main Street, then south to US 31 South,
then south to the proposed commercial development. This water line extension has the capacity to
service the Annexation Area. The cost to extend the water is $375,592.00
Storm Sewer - No storm sewers exist in the area. All storm water is to be retained on site.
Street Lights - The estimated cost to install street lights is $50,000
Other Capital Expenditures - An increased capital expenditure to maintain streets is estimated to
be at $50,000
Public improvements within the Annexation Area, such as street lights, roads, curbs and sidewalks
are to be at the expense of the developers. Improvements will be able to be maintained without
additional expense.
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 Utilities.
B. Police Department
The Annexation Area will be added to Beat 15. The expansion of Beat 15 will extend the Beat
approximately 1.5 miles south of the present City limits currently at the St. Joseph Valley Parkway
and US 31 interchange. Police coverage can be expected to begin shortly after the effective date
of the annexation.
The Department notes that the annexation of this area will require police officers to respond to
typical residential property crimes such as vandalism and auto larcenies. Commercial areas are
generally prone to drive -offs and robberies, although this area has not been subject to a high
volume of such incidences in the past. The proposed retail stores may require additional police
response.
US 31 South Annexation Area
The Department farther notes that traffic enforcement is a concern in this area. The volume of
traffic and the number of accidents over the past year indicates that the request for police
assistance will increase in the Beat.
The Department notes that police units could be expected to provide service to the proposed
annexation area. Beat 15 may need future reconfiguration to better service its area, especially
since other Beats may not be able to provide efficient support for back up calls. Additional growth
on the southside may require a new police beat, which would effect other beats in the City.
C. Fire Department
The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection problems related to
this annexation. The Annexation Area is located approximately 2 miles from Station #10, located
at 308 West Ireland Road. Additional Fire Department units would respond from the new Fire
Station #10 to be located at York Road, just south of Jackson Road, approximately 5 miles away.
Fire officials note that response times will be comparable to other areas of the City, and that no
additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel hired to service the Annexation Area.
D. Code Enforcement
The Department of Code Enforcement can provide services to the Annexation Area with no
additional increase in manpower or equipment.
E. Environmental Services
The Division of Environmental Services notes that service will be offered as needed. The service
will be offered at a rate of $8.00 per month, or $5.50 per month for senior citizens.
F. Administrative Services
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 that will continue to provide the
same type and level of services to the Annexation Area.
US 31 South Annexation Area
