REGULAR MEETING JANUARY 22, 2001 Section IV. This Resolution shall be in full force and effect from and of its date of adoption by the Common Council and approval by the Mayor. s /Charlotte Pfeifer Member, South Bend Common Council Councilmember White reported that the Zoning & Annexation Committee met on this bill and sends it to the Council with a favorable recommendation. Mr. Larry Magliozzi, Assistant Director, Planning & Neighborhood Development, Community & Economic Development, 12"' Floor, County -City Building, South Bend, Indiana, made the presentation for this Resolution. Mr. Magliozzi informed the Council that this is a voluntary annexation and the Fiscal Plan submitted with the Resolution outlines the level of City services to the annexation area. He noted that the property involved is a narrow strip of land on the entire south side of an annexation area that became effective a month ago and this area is encompassed by the proposed location for Tire Rack in the Blackthorn Industrial area. This is a strip of land that was inadvertently left out during some of the negotiations and sales of that property and in order to make it unified property they had to submit a second annexation area. This strip of land is at the back of the lots that are being developed in the proposed park. The new water tower will sit on a piece of this annexation area. He further noted that the Board of Public Works, Board of Public Safety and the Board of Water Commissioners all recommend approval. The Fiscal Plan indicates that there are no costs to the City to provide any services since the services are being provided in the original annexation. A Public Hearing was held on the Resolution at this time.
