EXHIBIT C 6 City of Carmel Annexation Fiscal Plan Area 7- 2 Parcels on 146th and Hazel Dell (Owners: Plum Creek Parmers, LLC (Parcel No. 17-10-22-00-004.000 & 17-! 0-22-00-004.001) This Fiscal Plan may be inspected at the Department of Community Services, located on the 3rd floor of City Hall, Carmel, 1N. Copies of the Fiscal Plan are available to the public for a fee in accordance with city ordinances. Questions related to this annexation can be directed to Michael Hollibaugh, Director, Department of Community Services, City of Cannel (317-571-2417). Executive Summary of Annexation Impact Summary of Fiscal/mpact 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 semi-annual zoning area property taxes 17-10-22-00-00-004.000 $7,800 $76 s-1 12.2 17-10-22-00-00-004.001 $108,100 $1,054 s-1 1.5 totals $7,800 $1,130 12.2 projected semi-annual property tax increase $136 $170 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 joinder agreements between the City and township (especially changes relating to the Parks and Fire joinders); and the final disposition of property tax issues resulting from recent legislation. Contiguity. The annexation territory is >12.5% contiguous with the corporate boundaries of the City of Carmel. Area #7 Annexation Fiscal Planl2 Parcels along East 146th Street & Hazel Dell: Carmel, IN -/ Proportion Subdivided The annexation territory is largely 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, and the owner appears to be a development company. 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 will add 0.0 miles of street to the City, due to the fact that 146th street is a county highway and Hazel Dell Road is already under the city's jurisdiction. 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, the revenues associated with these departments will simply be 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 the police department is projected to be negligible. Carmel Police already patrol the corridors serving the property in the annexation territory, as well as answering calls for service in the area. As a purely technical matter, if a 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 Area #7 Annexation Fiscal Planl2 Parcels along East 146th Street & Hazel Dell: Carmel, IN 2 projected to actually cost mom than it is worth to enforce, especially at the expense of public safety. 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 if a 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 annexation will add 0.0 miles of street to the City, due to the fact that 146th street is a county highway and will remain under the jurisdiction of the county. 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 arc already frec to request administrative services of the City, including phone calls to the Mayor and City Council and appearances before municipal boards, in which annexation area residents are treated with respect and given appropriate response. IMPACT ON MUNICIPAL UTILITIES All of the parcels within the annexation ~terdtory will be afforded access to full utility services, including capital and non-capital water and sewer utility services precisely in accordance with the standard practices and policies 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 parcels numbered, 17-10-22 -00-00-004.000 & 17-10-22-00- 00.004.001, as well as any previously un-annexed roadway fight 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 Deparmaent 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 Area #7 Annexation Fiscal Planl2 Parcels along East '146t~ Street & Hazel Dell: Carmel, IN 3 annexation area and no additional capital services are projected to be required by the 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 zoning. 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, 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 Cannel 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 territory. /cmx area7 Area #7 Annexation Fiscal Plan/2 Parcels along East 146rn Street & Hazel Dell: Carmel, IN 4 [ Start Over J [ Tax Bill Instructions and Important Information ~ f New Search 1 [ THIS LOOKS WRONG I [ Go to Fall Statement-> ] Thla la a replication of · tax bill mailed April 22, 2002.
