INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study is to provide the City of Jeffersonville with the
information needed to make a sound decision regarding the possible annexation
of Annexation Area 3. The incorporation of Annexation Area 3 into the City
of Jeffersonville will require the provision of services in a manner equivalent
in standard and scope to services now provided in comparable parts of the City
of Jeffersonville. This report analyzes the impact that Area 3's annexation
will have on various city services and outlines a plan for providing pertinent
services. To this end, the study serves as the City's written fiscal plan and
annexation policy requirements to be included in any resolution of the Common
Council related to the annexation of Area 3. Such a plan and policy are
necessary to meet State statutory requirements-
LOCATION
Annexation Area 3 is located adjacent to the northwest part of Jeffersonville.
Map 1,. which follows this page, shows the boundaries of this 611± acre area.
Area 3 is within portions of Grants 21, 33 and 34 of Jeffersonville Township.
It should be noted that the City's ordinance pertaining to the annexation of
Area 3 should contain a legal description of the area.
METHOD OF ANNEXATION
The City of Jeffersonville may, by ordinance, annex territory that is contigu-
ous to its corporate limits, provided the annexation meets one of the following
conditions:
1) A. At least 1/8 of the aggregate external boundaries of the territory
sough~ to be annexed must coincide with the existing boundaries of
the City of Jeffersonville; and that either
B. Sixty percent (60%) of the territory is subdivided;
C. The resident population density of the territory sought to be
annexed must be equal to at least three (3) persons per acre; or
The territory is zoned for commercial business or industrial use.
DJ
2) A.
At least 1/4 of the aggregate external boundaries of the territory
sought to be annexed coincides with the boundaries of the City of
Jeffersonville; and
The territory sought to be annexed is needed and can be used by
the City of Jeffersonville for its development in the reasonably
near future.
The proposed annexation would meet either of the above conditions. In addi-
tion to meeting one of the above conditions, the City of Jeffersonville must
develop a written fiscal plan and establish, by resolution of the Council, a
definite policy relative to the territory to be annexed.
The City of Jeffersonville retains the authority to annex the proposed area
pursuant to the provisions that they show 1/8 contiguity boundary and a
resident population density equal to at least three (3) persons per acre.
Contiguity of Area
Annexation Area 3 meets the contiguity requirements of state law as 35.2%
of its boundary is contiguous with the present corporate limits of the City
of Jeffersonville. The following statls~tics are presented regarding con-
tiguity:
Contiguous to City Through Non-contiguous Annexation - 5,245' (16.2%)i
Contiguous to City - 11,395' (35.2%)
Total Boundary That Coincides With City
NOt Contiguous to City
TOTAL BOUNDARY:
- 16,640' (51.4%)
- 15,725' (48.6%)
32,365'
Population Density
Annexation Area 3 has an estimated population of 2,062 persons. This esti-
mated population was derived by multiplying the actual number of dwelling
units times the average household size (3.09persons per household) for the
unincorporated part of Census Tract 506.01. Ail of Area 3 is within this
census tract~ An adjustment was made to account for the possible lower house-
hold size in mobile home occupancy. Only 25 percent of the Area's 93 mobile
homes were included in the census tract average of 3.09, the remainder were
assumed to average two persons per household.
599 Single-'family units
23 Mobile home (25% of Area's total)
622 x 3.09 Average household size = 1,922
70 Mobile homes × two persons per unit = 140
TOTAL ESTIMATED POPULATION: 2,062
- 2 -
This population figure, when applied to the Area's 611± acres, equals a resident
population density of 3.37 persons per acre. Copies of relevant census data
from Table P-l, General Characteristics of Persons, page P-5, Census Tracts,
Louisville, Kentucky-Indiana SMSA, 1980 Census of Population and Housing are
incorporated herein and attached as Exhibit A.
Annexation Need
In addition to meeting annexation condition 1, the contiguity of Annexation Area
3's boundaries exceeds 1/4 of the aggregate boundaries and the Area is needed by
the City for its development in the reasonably near future for reasons stated as
follows:
- the existing pattern of urban development indicates such development will
increase in Area 3;
- the need for urban services is evide~t~fr°m the need to assist the County in
responding to police calls;
- it is physically,socially and economically, but not legally, a part of the
City;
- over 50 percent (51.4%) of the Area now borders the City;
- there is a need to assure that sufficient good land is available for
development;
- that the proposed Inner City Road to be financed locally by the City will
have a development impact on the Area; and
- future development should be planned in an orderly manner that is consistent
with adjacent City developments and can be coordinated with the need for
urban services.
COMPARABLE AREA
The Northaven Subdivision within the Jeffersonville corporate limits was
selected as a comparable area in order to compare the proposed provision of
capital and noncapital services to Annexation Area 3 with those services now
provided within the corporate limits. The Northaven Area has similar topography,
a developed subdivision with 536 residences and an average household size of
3.03 persons.
TOPOGRAPHY
Topography within Annexation Area 3 ranges from 460 to 500 feet above sea
level. In the comparable Northaven Area, topography ranges from 470 to ~ ~"mo
feet above sea level. Slopes are gentle in both areas.

EXISTING LAND USE
Single-family residential development is the predominant use of land in
Annexation Area 3. The largest concentration of this use is The Meadows,
a 575 lot subdivision with only three vacant lots, located in the north
part of the Area. The Sunset Mobile Home Park in the south part of the
Area contains 91 residential units. The remaining single-family dwellings
are at scattered locations along Area 3's major roads° Other land uses
include two churches, two public schools (River Valley Middle School and
W.E. Wilson School), and a home occupation beauty shop. Ail of these uses
are located along New Albany-Charleston Pike. Some 311 acres (or 50.8%) of
the Area is undeveloped. This undeveloped land is most likely to be devel-
oped for residential use and could ac~o~mmodate an estimated 744 dwelling
units when fully developed. Map 2, which is incorporated herein and attached
as Exhibit B, shows the existing use of land.

ZONING
The City of Jeffersonville's zoning and subdivision regulations would become
effective in Annexation Area 3 upon its annexation. The Clark County Zoning
Ordinance now applies seven different zoning classifications to the Area.
Following is a listing of these zones and the comparable City of Jefferson-
ville zone that will be adopted for Area 3.
Clark County Zones
A1 Agricultural Zone
RI One-Family Residence Zone
R2 Limited Multiple-Family Zone
B1 Limited Business Zone
B2 Roadside Business
B3 General Business Zone
M1 General Industrial Zone
Jeffersonville Zone~s
R1 Single-Family Residences
RI Single-Family Residences
R2 Single, Two & Multi Residences
BI Local Business
B2 Service District
B3 General Business
I1 Light Industrial
The County's RI, R2, BI, B2 and B3 zones are generally comparable to the
City's Ri, R2, Bi, B2 and B3 zones. The only substantial conflicts occur
with the County's A1 and M1 zones. The City has no AllAgricultural zoning,
and the City's industrial zoning is divided into two classifications, light
and general industry. Map 3, which is incorporated herein and attached as
Exhibit C, shows existing zoning.
Existing A1 zoning is located south of The Meadows. It is recommended that
R-1 zoning be adopted for this land because of its location adjacent to
single-family residential development.
Because the County M1 zoning permits almost any type of industrial opera-
tion, the City will apply its more limited I1 zoning upon the date of
annexation. This will provide better protection to the Area's future
development potential until an analysis is made of appropriate zoning
for the Area.
Zonin~ Plan
The City of Jeffersonville's plan is to assume the responsibility and
administration of zoning in Annexation Area 3 immediately upon the effective
date of annexation. The various zones outlined herein will be applied in
place of the comparable Clark County zones.
-5-
STREETS
Ail of Annexation Area 3's 8.3 miles of improved streets are in good con-
dition. Major streets in Area 3 are: Hamburg Pike, which provides accsss
from the west and downtown parts of jeffersonville; jeffersonville-Charlestown
Road, which provides access to the northeast; and New Albany-Charlestown Pike,
which provides direct access from Clarksville and 1-65o Ail streets other
than these major streets are located in The Meadows Subdivision.
The City of Jeffersonville's street maintenance staff consists of a Street
Commissioner and eighteen full time employees. This staff is now respon-
sible for maintaining some 93½ miles of improved streets. The incorporation
of Annexation Area 3 will add about 8.3 miles to the City's maintenance
responsibilities- Approximately 5.6 of these miles would be minor streets
and 2.7 miles would be major thoroughfares and collector streets. Table
No. 1 provides a list of each street in Annexation Area 3 that the City would
be responsible for maintaining. This would be a 8.9% increase in the City's
street maintenance responsibilities.

Routine annual maintenance operations are all that is needed in Annexation
Area 3 as existing streets meet the City of jeffersonville's standards.
Streets are comparable to those found in the City's Northaven Area. The
Annexation of Area 3 will eventually increase the City's annual cost of
street maintenance by an estimated $20,833. This figure was derived by
dividing the City's current street miles into the expense of street main-
tenance. This results in a maintenance cost of $2,510 per mile of street.
The application of this figure to the 8.3 miles of streets in Area 3 results
in the estimated annual maintenance cost of $20,833. Although the City will
assume the responsibility for street maintenance in the first year after
annexation, it is not anticipated that any increased maintenance funds will
be needed until the second year. This is because of the excellent condition
of existing streets in Area 3. Also starting in the second year, it is
recommended that two additional street maintenance perspnnel be employed
because of the combined impacts of Area 3 and other annexations within the
past year.
The only street improvement in Annexation Area 3 is the proposed Inner City
Road which will connect to the heavily populated east part of Jeffersonville.
The proposed route runs through the southwest part of Annexation Area 3.
This proposed improvement will involve no additional cost as the City has
already committed as the only local government to participate in this 75%
Federal/25% local project.

PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Street maintenance will be assumed by the City of jeffersonville within twelve
(12) months after the effective date of annexation. The City's street
maintenance budget will be increased by $20,833 annually, starting in the
second year after annexation to meet anticipated needs.

The annexation of Area 3 will involve no street improvement capital cost.
Because of the impacts of Area 3 and other annexations~ two new maintenance
personnel will be employed in the second annexation year.
SIDEWALKS
Sidewalks exist throughout the Meadows Subdivision, but not in other parts
of Annexation Area 3. This is comparable to the Northaven Area of
Jeffersonville, where sidewalks are only located in the residential subdivision.
Sidewalk Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $0
METHOD OF FINANCING: Inapplicable . ·
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Because sidewalks are provided for the Annexation Area in the same manner as
in comparable parts of Jeffersonville, no new sidewalk construction is planned
in Area 3.
STREET LIGHTS
There are no existing street lights in Annexation Area 3. In the comparable
Northaven Area of the City, street lights are located about every tenth of
a mile in the subdivided residential sections and at greater intervals outside
the subdivisions. It is estimated that 66 street lights will be needed in
Area 3 at an estimated monthly cost of $7.53 per month per light. The source
of this cost is Public Service Indiana. They now charge $7.53 per month for
150w sodium vapor lights using standard wooden poles.
Street Light Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $5,964 annually
METHOD OF FINANCING: General Fund
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Street lights will be provided no later than the twelfth month of the third
year after annexation. Approximately 56 street lights will be provided in
The Meadows and 10 lights in other parts of Area 3. These improvements will
provide Area 3 with street lighting comparable to the N0rthaven Area of
Jeffersonville.

GARBAGE COLLECTION
Garbage collection is now provided to the residents and other uses in
Annexation Area 3 by two private companies. Once per week residential
pick-up is offered by Clark-Floyd Disposal, Inc. for $6.50 per month, and
by BFI Waste Systems for $7.00 per month. Each offers varying rates based
on container size for commercial customers.
The City of Jeffersonville now provides one garbage pick-up per week for
residences.
There is no charge for this service. To avoid any additional personnel or
equipment costs and landfill expenses, the City plans to contract sanitation
services i~ Annexation Area 3 to a private company. An estimated cost,
based on current City sanitation service contracts, to serve the Area's 694
existing pick-ups would be approximately $32,479 per year.
Garbage Collection Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $32,479 annually
METHOD OF FINANCING: Sanitation Fund and or other funds of the City.

FIRE HYDRANTS
Annexation Area 3 now has 26 fire hydrants which are on the.Indiana Cities
Water System. An additional 12 hydrants are needed to' serve Area 3 with
hydrant availability comparable to'the Northaven Area and conditions
throughout Jeff~rsonville. Map 4, which is incorporated herein and
attached as Exhibit .D, shows the location of existing fire hydrants.
Fire Hydrant Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $9,120 annually
-- Annual Rental of Existing Fire Hydrants (26 @ $240 each) .... $6,240 .
-- Annual Rental of New Fire Hydrants (12 @ $240 each) .... $2,880
METHOD OF FINANCING: General Fund, City Budget
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
Rental on the existing fire hydrants will be assumed by the City the twelfth
month of the first year after annexation. The City will have new fire
hydrants installed no later th~n the twelfth ~0nth of the'first year after
annexation. This will provide every structure in the Area with adequate
accessibility to a fire hydrant.
SANITARY SEWER
The City of Jeffersonville's sanitary sewer service is presently serving
96 percent of the developed land uses in Annexation Area 3. Of the Area's
696 individual uses, only 28 (or 4%) are not on sewer. These uses are
located along Hamburg Pike, New Albany-Charlestown Pike and Jeffersonville-
Charlestown Road. Cost estimates prepared by professional engineers indicate
a capital expenditure of $112,000 would be needed to design and construct
sufficient sewer lines to serve the 26 residences and two churches not on
sewer. This would provide sewer service in a manner consistent with the
provisions of such service in the City of Jeffersonville and the comparable
Northaven Area. 'This capital cost will be reduced by an estimated $11,480
in tap fees. However, it should be realized that these tap fees will not be
collected until after the sewer is constructed and that a significant per-
centage of the fees may be paid on an installment basis. It should be
emphasized that the $112,000 sewer cost is an engineers' estimate made
without the benefit of detailed analysis. The estimate could very easily
be increased or decreased by: t) detailed engineering, 2) actual construc-
- 10 -
tion bid, and/or 3) future economic conditions. Also, it might be possible
to realize a cost savings by using city forces for part of the construction,
and anticipated development projects in Area 3 might provide lines that
could serve some of the unsewered residences. Map 5, which is attached and
incorporated herein as Exhibit E, shows existing sanitary sewer lines and
identifies structures to be served by proposed sewer.
Sanitary Sewer Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $112,000 capital expense
METHOD OF FINANCING: General Fund and other City funds
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICE:
As part of the Annexation Area 3 plan, the City will design and construct
adequate sanitary sewer lines to serve' ~he developed, but unsewered parts
of the Area. Engineering design will be completed in the first quarter of
year three, and all construction will be completed prior to the end of year
three. Sewer construction will involve an estimated 5,600 linear feet of
pipe. No lift station or force main construction will be necessary.
STORM DRAINAGE
Storm drainage facilities in the form of pipe, curb and gutter, ditches and
culverts is available throughout Area 3. The Area's only drainage problem
requiring a capital expense (high ground water in The Meadows) is already
scheduled for correction by the City. It is necessary for the City to
correct this problem to prevent ground water.from filtering int° existing
sanitary sewer pipe and lift stations. Routine maintenance of drainage
facilities will be provided by the City's street and sanitary sewer~maintenance
personnel a~ no additional budget expense. Map 6, which is incorporated herein
and attached as Exhibit F~ shows existing storm drainage facilities.
Storm Drainacje Plan
COST ESTIMATED:, $0
METHOD OF FINANCING: Inapplicable
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICE:
The City of Jeffersonville's personnel engaged in street and sanitary sewer
maintenance will provide routine storm drainage maintenance a~ no extra
expense.
- 11-
FLOOD PLAIN
A substantial part of The Meadows Subdivision is in the lO0-year flood plain
according to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Map 7, which is
incorporated herein and attached as Exhibit G, is a copy of the official FEMA
map which covers Annexation Area 3. Clark County's flood plain regulations
are now effective in Area 3. These regulations make property owners eligible
for flood insurance under the FEMA program. The City of jeffersonville has
similar regulations which would take effect upon the date of annexation and
provide the same regulation and insurance eligibility for Area 3 residentS.
Flood Plain Plan
cOST ESTIMATE: $0
METHOD OF FINANCING: Inapplicable
pLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
The City of jeffersonville's flood plain regulations will take effect immediately
upon annexation and provide an uninterrupted continuation of the requirements
needed for eligibility under all applicable FEMA programs.
FIRE PROTECTION
Fire protection is presently provided to Annexation Area 3 by the McCulloch
Volunteer Fire Department from stations on Hale Road and Allison Lane. In
Area 3, the McCulloch system has a Class 8 rating, jeffersonville Township
now pays the Volunteer Fire Department for protection through a .20 tax rate
for properties in the unincorporated partS of the Township. Property owners
in Area 3 would cease to pay this tax one year after annexation.
Annexation will transfer the responsibility for fire protection to the City
of jeffersonville Fire Department which has a Class 5 rating. A major
advantage of the jeffersonville Fire Department is 24-hour response with
sufficient people on duty at all times The jeffersonville Fire Department
now has 46 fire personnel and six trucks which serve the City from two
stations. This.includes the recent employment of a firefighter' When the
proposed North Station is opened in late 1989, ~th~ distribution of fire-
fighting personnel and equipment will be as follows:
- 12 -
Central (Wall Street) East (Crestvie~ North (Fabricon)
2 Trucks 2 Trucks*
3 Trucks 12 Firefightere
19 Firefighters 12 Firefighters
*One truck is presently not operational and is already scheduled
to be refurbished.
This will provide Annexation Area 3 with greatly improved fire protection
within the coming year. In addition, the City plans to employ an additional
firefighter by January 1990. This employment is based on the combined
impact of annexations plus anticipated growth from proposed new development
projects.
Fire Protection Plan
COST ESTIMATE: ~ · . $ 28,683
-- Annual expense for one new firefighter .....
METHOD OF FINANCING: General Fund, City Budget
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
The City'of jeffersonville will provide fire protection to Area 3 from its
Wall' Street Station six months after the effective date of annexation, and
from its proposed North Station (Fabricon Road) within a year. The North
Station is scheduled to be opened as a result of prior annexations. This
new station will give Annexation Area 3 an exceptionally high standard of
fire protection. Most of the Area'S development will be less than one mile
from the station, and almost every structure will be within one and one-half
miles. These proposals will improve the Area's fire protection service from
a Class 8 to Class 5 rating. The expense of opening the proposed North
Station is related to a previous annexation.
Long range plans, which are related to anticipated growth as well as the
City's overall annexation program, call for the employment of one firefighter
within the first year after annexation. This action is not directly related
to Annexation Area 3 which will be adequately served by improved fire
protection prior to the implementation of these proposals. It is, however,
related to the City's overall fire protection needs as future growth occurs.
- 13 -
POLICE PROTECTION
Annexation Area 3 now receives police protection from the Clark County
Sheriff's Department. The Sheriff's Department has 26 officers to serve
the entire County. The annexation of Area 3 will transfer the responsibility
for police protection to the Jeffersonville Police Department. This
Department will be able to respond much quicker to the Area's police calls.
In fact, the Jeffersonville Police Department makes about 50 runs per year
to unincorporated areas because the Sheriff's Department personnel is
stretched over too much land area. The annexation of Area 3 will help
reduce the County's police work load.
Existing personnel of the Jeffersonvi~l~ Police Department consists of the
Chief, 42 officers and 9 civilians. The City is now divided into two patrol
districts (east and west) and the response time averages three to five
minutes. Police runs in the comparable Northaven Area average 884 runs
per year. It is estimated that Annexation Area 3 will average approximately
the same number of runs annually.
The City plans to employ two officers in January, 1990 to meet the needs
of this proposed annexation. This action will substantially improve
police protection in Jeffersonville as well as Annexation Area 3. Two new
police cruisers will be needed six months after the employment of the new
police officers. These plans are based on: re-dividing the City into
three patrol districts (east, west and north), and the impacts of the City's
annexation program when combined with known future development projects.

1990 for the purpose of meeting the needs of Annexation Area 3.
-- Starting six months after annexation, the City plans to reorganize its
police patrol areas into three districts (east, west and north), and
purchase two fully equipped used police cruisers. This action is not
based on the impact of Annexation Area 3 per se, but on the combined
impacts of all recent annexations plus anticipated new growth.
RECREATION
No public recreational facilities are'located in Annexation Area 3. The
Thomas Jefferson School, located from 1/2 to one mile from Area 3, offers
playground facilities that would be available for residents of the proposed
annexation area. Some 147 acres of neighborhood, community and city parks
are located throughout the City and will be available for the use of Area
3's residents. No increase in recreation personnel or facilities will be
needed because of the annexation of Area 3.
Recreation Plan
COST ESTIMATE: $0
METHOD OF FINANCING: Inapplicable
PLAN FOR ORGANIZATION AND EXTENSION OF SERVICES:
The present recreational facilities of the City of Jeffersonville will be
available to the residents of Area 3 immediately upon annexation. This will
be comparable to the facilities available to the residents of comparable
areas in the City.

CITY ENGINEERING, PLANNING & ZONING, INSPECTION & BUILDING
CODE ENFORCEMENT
Ail of the services of the City's engineering, planning and zoning, inspection
and code enforcement personnel that are currently provided to residents of the
City and the comparable Northaven Area will be made available to Annexation
Area 3. No additional personnel will be needed to provide these services
during the first year after annexation as the City has recently converted a
part-time staff person to full-time status. Because of the impacts of recent
annexations combined with anticipated growth, the City plans in the second
year after annexation to employ an additional full-time person. This action
will require the leasing of an automobile and the budgeting of money for
insurance and miscellaneous needs.

OTHER CITY FUNCTIONS
This plan attempts to outline services that may be impacted by the inclusion
of Annexation Area 3 within the City of Jeffersonville's corporate boundaries.
Any services not specifically addressed in this report have not been omitted
for lack of consideration. Rather, their absence indicates that provision of
these services to the Annexation Area and/or its residents will be provided
in the same manner that such services are provided to comparable areas without
the expenditure of additional funds.~ The intent of this plan is that any
services currently available to the comparable areas of the Annexation Area
and/or their residents, that are not previously discussed i~ this plan, will
be made available in the same manner to the Annexation Area and/or its resi-
dents immediately upon annexation.

HIRING PLAN
It is anticipated that this annexation will not result in the elimination
of jobs for employees of other governmental entities, but in the event it
does, then the City of Jeffersonville will assist these employees in the
obtaining of new employment. However, the City will not be required to
hire any of these employees.
In the event of unforseen elimination of jobs, the City will take the appli-
cation of any such employee and maintain a special file of these applications..
Each application will be forwarded to major employers im the area, and to any
City department having a job opportunity for which the individual is qualified.
Each individual will also be referred to the Indiana State Employment Security
Division.
