accordance with city ordinances. Questions related to this annexation can be directed to Michael
Hollibaugh, Director, Department of Community Services, City of Carmel (317-571-2417).
Executive Summary of Annexation Impact
Summary of Fiscal Impact
The following table summarizes the properties involved in the proposed annexation and the
property tax burden on that property, according to the "Online Tax Report" obtained from the
Hamilton County website.
parcel # taxable value 2002 property taxes zoning area
17-14-05-00-00-008,003 $102,220 $896 s-1 1.1
17-14-05-00-00-008.000 $7,600 $74 s-1 0,2
17-14-05-00-00-008.005 $2,500 $24 s-1 0.9
totals $112,320 $994 s-1 2.2
projected property tax increase $119 $149 4.4
resulting from annexation (Iow-high)
Annexation of the above properties is projected to result in an overall increase in the total
property tax bills of the parcels, as shown above, which represents a projected tax impact of
12%-15%. The final amount of this tax increase will depend upon several factors, possibly
including: the final, approved budgets (and subsequent property tax rates) of the county,
township, and city of Carmel; any changes to the financial configuration of the j oinder
agreements between the City and township (especially changes relating to the Parks and Fire
joinders); and the final disposition of property tax issues currently being studied by the Indiana
General Assembly.
Contiguity.
The annexation territory is completely surrounded by and 100% contiguous with the corporate
boundaries of the City of Carmel.
Area #24 Annexation Fiscal Planl3 Parcels along Haverstick Road: Carmel, IN ]
Proportion Subdivided
The annexation territory is entirely the result of the subdivision process. Although the parcels,
themselves, were not a part of a developed subdivision, research into county land records
suggests that these parcels are remnants resulting from subdividing larger parcels for the purpose
of residential development. As such, these parcels are themselves subdivided from larger
parcels, thereby making the annexation area more than 60% subdivided.
Annexed Population
The proposed annexation will include a nominal amount of additional population, amounting to a
population increase of less than 0.1%. Consequently, the annexation is not projected to have any
appreciable impact on population-based revenue streams of the City.
Annexed Streets & Roads
The annexation area is estimated to add less than 0.2 miles of streets and roads to thc municipal
thoroughfare system which contains approximately 204 miles of local streets and roads.
Therefore, the projected fiscal impact of the proposed annexation on the street department is
estimated to be less than 0.1% on the revenue streams related to thoroughfare miles.
Summary of Municipal Service/mpact
The proposed annexation involves properties which are already receiving a full complement of
municipal services, including capital and non-capital services of the Street Department, Fire
Department, Police Department, city administration (including planning), and municipal utilities.
Some of these municipal services are provided through joinder agreements with the township.
All municipal services will be provided to the annexation territory in a manner equivalent to the
provision of services to other parcels within the corporate limits.
DEPARTMENTAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY JOINDER
Many municipal services of the City of Carmel are offered through a j oinder agreement with
Clay Township. The following services are provided through joinder agreements: fire protection,
parks, planning/zoning/community development services, and the communications center. Since
these joinder services are provided inside and outside of the corporate limits of the City, the
proposed annexation will generate no measurable fiscal impact on the operation of these joinder
departments. Instead, thc revenues associated with these departments will simply bc transferred
from the township budget to the municipal budget, thereby generating no net impact on the
taxpayer.
IMPACT ON POLICE DEPARTMENT
The projected fiscal impact of the annexation on thc police department is projected to be
negligible. Carmel Police already patrol the corridors serving the property in thc annexation
territory, as well as answering calls for service in the area. As a purely technical matter, ifa
crime or a call for service were to occur on the property within the annexation territory, the City
Police are supposed to defer to the County Sheriff. However, as a practical matter, the technical
minutia of such jurisdictional issues is projected to actually cost more than it is worth to enforce.
Area #24 Annexation Fiscal Planl3 Parcels along Haverstick Road: Carmel, IN 2
In fact, the annexation will probably result in a cost savings to the municipality due to
clarification of such jurisdictional minutia. However, the only way there would be an y
difference in the cost of municipal police service would be ifa crime were to occur directly on
these parcels, which is an extremely unlikely occurrence, in statistical terms. Therefore, the
projected impact on municipal police services is negligible.
IMPACT ON STREET DEPARTMENT
The projected impact of the proposed annexation on the municipal operation of the Street
Department is estimated to be $0; due to the fact that the entire thoroughfare corridor is already
serviced by the Carmel Street Department.
IMPACT ON MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION
The projected impact of the proposed annexation on the departments involved in municipal
administration is projected to also be $0. The practicality of the matter is that citizens in the
annexation territory are already free to request administrative services of the City, including
phone calls to the Mayor and City Council, which are treated with respect and given appropriate
response.
IMPACT ON MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
All of the parcels within the annexation territory will be afforded full utility services, including
capital and non-capital water and sewer utility services precisely in accordance with the standard
practices of the city utility ordinances, and in accordance with the systems of rates and charges
which are administered by the utility departments.
Legal Description of the Annexation Area
The annexation territory consists of the parcel numbered 17-14-05-00-00-008.005, 17-14-05-00-
00-008.000, 17-14-05-00-00-008.008) as well as any previously un-annexed roadway right of
way adjacent thereto.
Provision of Municipal Services
Non-Capital services which are not covered under the joinder agreement with Clay Township
will be provided within one year of the effective date of the annexation action. Within the
context of the City of Carmel and its joinder service provisions, the non-capital services would
include road maintenance by the Street Department and police protection by the Carmel Police
Department. Non-capital service costs will be paid through the annual revenues of the City,
including property tax revenues and other municipal revenues, as appropriate.
Capital services which are not covered by the joinder service agreements will be provided within
3 years of the effective date of the annexation. At this time, capital services are already provided
to the annexation area and no additional capital services are projected to be required by the
Area #24 Annexation Fiscal Planl3 Parcels along Haverstick Road: Carmel, IN 3
annexation area. If capital services are later identified as necessary and appropriate under the
municipal service policies of the municipality, such capital services will be covered through the
issuance of some form of municipal debt.
Other Considerations
Land Use
The annexation area is currently dominated by low-density residential development.
60% Subdivided
The annexation area has been more than 60% subdivided for development under the provisions
of the comprehensive plan, zoning ordinance and subdivisions regulations which govern the
joinder services of the community (including the city and the township).
Population Density
Due to the fact that the annexation area is small, residential, and having very few parcels, the
population density cannot be precisely determined with available data.
Needed & Can Be Used
The annexation area is needed by the municipality for its development at the present time and in
the reasonably near future. The municipality already provides many municipal services to the
annexation area, as well as reviewing/approving development proposals for land within the area.
Annexing Territory 100% Contiguous with the City
The City of Carmel previously approved annexation policies which specifically addressed areas
of 100% contiguity with the City, as follows: "As Carmel has developed, there have been areas
left outside of its corporate limits which are approaching 100% contiguity (i.e. completely
surrounded by the city). A recent map of the incorporated city shows several such areas east of
Spring Mill Road. It is, therefore, the policy of the city that such areas be considered for
annexation at the earliest practical time, with appropriate consideration of the cost of services to
each specific area." This annexation is specifically undertaken due to this policy.
Annexation of Indebtedness
In any annexation action, the City of Carmel will comply with all statutory requirements
regarding the absorption of debt incurred by the unincorporated township for the purpose of
providing municipal services to the annexation ten'itory.
