increase resulting from annexation
(Iow-high)
Acreage hsted as 0 on tax bill.
Annexation of the above properties in the area is projected to result in an overall increase in the
total property tax bills 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
implementation of property tax changes made by the Indiana General Assembly during the 2002
Spring Session, as well as on-going statewide re-assessment.
Contiguity
The annexation territory is substantially more than 12.5% contiguous with the corporate
boundaries of the City of Carmel.
Proportion Subdivided
The armexation territory is entirely the result of the subdivision process. 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, (estimated to
be no more than 70 people) amounting to a population increase of less than 1%. Consequently,
the annexation is not projected to have significant impact on population-based revenue streams
of the City.
Annexed Streets & Roads
The annexation area is estimated to add approximately 0.65 miles of streets and roads to the
municipal thoroughfare system which contains a total of approximately 215 miles of local streets
Annexation Fiscal Plan/27 Parcels at Maple Acres, Carmel, IN 2
and roads. The streets in the area were developed under development standards without curbs
and sidewalks. Therefore, the City will install no curbs and/or sidewalks in the area after
annexation. The City will, however, assume responsibility for replacing defective street signs in
accordance with City policy. Therefore, the projected fiscal impact of the proposed annexation
on the street department is estimated to be less than 0.3% on the expenses and revenue streams
related to thoroughfare miles. It should be noted, however, that Carmel has a number of pending
annexations which collectively add potentially significant miles of city street and the costs will
accrue.
Summary of Municipal Service Impact
The proposed annexation involves properties which are already receiving a substantial
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 major corridors serving the property in the
annexation territory, as well as answering calls for service in the general 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 enfome. 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 any practical difference in the cost of municipal police service would be if a crime were
to occur directly on one of these parcels, which is an extremely unlikely occurrence, in statistical
terms. Therefore, the projected impact on municipal police services is estimated to be negligible.
IMPACT ON STREET DEPARTMENT
The projected impact of the proposed annexation on the municipal operation of the Street
Department is estimated to cause additional expenses of approximately 0.3% to the Carmel Street
Department, due to the local streets added by the annexation.
Annexation Fiscal Plan/27 Parcels at Maple Acres, Carmel, IN J~
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 and offering testimony at public meetings, which are
treated with respect and given appropriate response.
IMP,~CT ON MUNICIPAL UTILITIES
All of the parcels within the annexation territory will be afforded access to full utility services, as
specifically provided by the City's annexation policies, 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.
The Utility Department estimates the cost of installing water and sewer services in the
annexation area to be $270,000 to $300,000. The City's policy is that homeowners may request
utility service extensions to their neighborhoods. The cost of these services is projected to be
paid in accordance with established City policies where the property owners pay the cost of these
capital improvements.
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 armexation action. Within the
context of the City of Carmel and its j oinder 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, sewer and water capital services are
not provided to the parcels within 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, with costs to be
repaid by property owners in the annexation area, as specified in the City's armexation policies.
Other Considerations
Land Use
The annexation area is currently dominated by low to medium-density residential development.
Population Density
Due to the fact that annexation area is a residential subdivision and having larger parcels, the
population density cannot be precisely determined with available data.
Needed & Can Be Used
Annexation Fiscal Plan/27 Parcels at Maple Acres, Carmel, IN 4
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 territory.
