REGULAR MEETING JUNE 23, 2008 <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />study, but has not yet been adopted. Sewer services will be constructed and provided <br />when the road is developed. The South Bend Water Works currently has a 12” water <br />main on the west side of Mayflower Road that is looped at Brick and Adams Road. <br />There should be more than adequate capacity for the annexation area. Water services <br />will be provided to adjacent areas of the roadway when the road is constructed. <br />Extensions of, or taps into sanitary sewer and water lines shall be governed by Indiana <br />Code and the rules and regulations of the South Bend Water Works and Sewer Utility. <br />There are no public improvements in the annexation area. The full array of <br />improvements will be extended with the proposed roadway for future service to adjacent <br />areas. Water and sewer services will be constructed with the roadway at an estimated <br />cost of 1.3 million dollars per lane-mile. The roadway is expected to be a four lane <br />boulevard and approximately 10, 250 feet long. No waivers of annexation are in effect <br />for the Annexation Area. The annexation area would be added to the already existing <br />Beat 22. Police patrols, traffic enforcement, and emergency responses will be part of the <br />services the city will offer to this area. The propose annexation would require officers to <br />cover a relatively small additional area to this beat. At this time it is not expected that <br />this annexation would cause calls for service to increase significantly and it is not <br />anticipated that it will be necessary to increase police patrols beyond the already existing <br />beat patrol at this time. The area under consideration is not expected to cause any <br />unusual problems. Cost for servicing this area would be expected to be absorbed by the <br />existing budget of the Police Department, as the addition of this area would not be <br />significant to the point of having to increase any budgetary items. Police services and <br />response time in this area can be expected to be comparable and consistent with that as in <br />all other areas of the City. Police coverage to this area could begin immediately upon <br />annexation and coordination of the conversion of the 911 emergency phone systems for <br />that area. The City provides a fully staffed, full time fire department. The Annexation <br />Area will be serviced primarily by Station #11, located at 3505 N. Bendix Road, <br />approximately 2.7 miles away. Additional Fire Department units would respond from <br />Fire Station #7 located at 1616 Portage Avenue which is approximately 5.6 miles away <br />and Fire Station #2 at 430 Martin Luther King Dr. which is approximately 7.0 miles <br />away. The South Bend Fire Department does not foresee any unusual fire protection <br />problems related to this annexation. Response times will be comparable to other areas of <br />the City. No additional equipment will need to be purchased or personnel hired to service <br />the Annexation Area. Adequate supply will be necessary as development takes place. <br />The City, under contract with St. Joseph County, provides emergency medical response <br />to the unincorporated areas of St. Joseph County. Of the seven ambulances currently in <br />service, 3 are dedicated for response to the unincorporated areas. These are Medic Units <br />#10, 11, and 12. The Annexation Area is currently being serviced by Medic #11, <br />stationed at 3505 Bendix Drive. Upon incorporation, the Annexation Area will be <br />serviced by Medic #4, also located at Fire Station #4, located at 220 N. Olive Street and <br />Medic #3, located at Fire Station #2, 402 Martin Luther King Drive. Emergency medical <br />response will continue to be provided by the City of South Bend. Response times will be <br />comparable to other areas of the City. No additional equipment will need to be purchased <br />or personnel hired to service the Annexation Area. The Annexation Area will be added <br />to Area 8 of the Department of Code Enforcement and they will be able to provide <br />services to the Annexation Area with comparable response times and with no additional <br />increase in manpower. The Department will respond to calls for service upon the <br />effective date of the Annexation. Full and dedicated response will be in place within one <br />year of the effective date of the Annexation. Wastewater treatment services are <br />supported by user fees, and are paid through the Water Works billing system. Industrial, <br />commercial and apartment customers are not served by the Bureau of Solid Waste. <br />White the annexation currently has one residence; the proposed land use will not require <br />services. As with any new development, the proposed use and development of this site <br />becomes important relative to its relationship with the existing, surrounding, and planned <br />uses. City Plan’s Future Land Use Map calls for the creation of the proposed roadway <br />that this annexation will help make possible. In addition, City Plan calls for the land on <br />the north and south sides of the proposed roadway – between Mayflower and Portage to <br />be developed for medium density residential in the futures. As such, this annexation is <br />consistent with City Plan, South Bend’s comprehensive plan. Mr. Vitton stated that the <br />roadway will aid in the implementation of the traffic circulation plan for Portage Prairie, <br />a private 300 million dollar mixed-use development. <br /> 8 <br /> <br />
