<br />RESOLUTION NO. 3447-05 A RESOLUTION OF THE COMMON
<br /> COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
<br /> BEND, INDIANA, ADOPTING A
<br /> WRITTEN FISCAL PLAN AS AMENDED
<br /> AND ESTABLISHING A POLICY FOR
<br /> THE PROVISION OF SERVICES TO AN
<br /> ANNEXATION AREA IN GERMAN
<br /> TOWNSHIP (WAGGONER’S DAIRY
<br /> FARM, INC. ANNEXATION AREA)
<br /> WHEREAS, there has been submitted to the Common Council of the City of
<br />South Bend, Indiana, an Ordinance and a petition by the sole (100%) property owner
<br />which proposes the annexation of real estate located in German Township, St. Joseph
<br />County, Indiana, which is described more particularly in Section I of this Resolution,
<br />and;
<br /> WHEREAS, the territory proposed to be annexed encompasses approximately
<br />274.89 acres of land containing one single family residence, which property is at least
<br />12.5% contiguous to the current City limits, i.e., approximately 18.6% contiguous,
<br />generally located at the southwest and southeast intersection of Adams Road and the St.
<br />Joseph Valley Parkway. It is anticipated that the annexation area will be developed as a
<br />Planned Unit Development District, and it is proposed for rezoning within the City as
<br />Planned Unit Development District ("PUD") upon incorporation into the City limits and
<br />Common Council approval. This use will require a basic level of municipal public
<br />services of a non-capital improvement nature, including police and fire protection, street
<br />and road maintenance, street sweeping, flushing, snow removal, and sewage collection,
<br />as well as services of a capital improvement nature, including street and road
<br />construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer system, a water distribution system, a storm
<br />water system and drainage plan; and
<br /> WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of South Bend, Indiana, now
<br />desires to establish and adopt a fiscal plan and establish a definite policy showing: (1) the
<br />cost estimates of services of a non-capital nature, including street and road maintenance,
<br />sewage collection, street sweeping, flushing, and snow removal, police and fire
<br />protection, and other non-capital services normally provided within the corporate
<br />boundaries, and services of a capital improvement nature, including street and road
<br />construction, street lighting, a sanitary sewer extension, a water distribution system, and
<br />a storm water system to be furnished to the territory to be annexed; (2) the method(s) of
<br />financing those services; (3) the plan for the organization and extension of those services;
<br />(4) that services of a non-capital nature will be provided to the annexed area within one
<br />(1) year after the effective date of the annexation, and that they will be provided in a
<br />manner in standard and scope to similar non-capital services provided to areas within the
<br />corporate boundaries of the City of South Bend, regardless of similar topography,
<br />patterns of land use, or population density; (5) that the services of a capital improvement
<br />nature will be provided to the annexed area within three (3) years after the effective date
<br />
