governing the selection of Fellsmere’s reserve areas; informed everyone that Fellsmere had <br />reduced the area by about nine (9) square miles since the introduction of their initiating <br />Resolution; and discussed how Vero Lake Estates was added at the request of the County. Mr. <br />Nunemaker echoed the sentiments of several former speakers who stated that the annexation <br />areas are by no means inevitable - they are possible. <br />Director Keating had concerns regarding the size of Fellsmere’s reserve area <br />(almost 20,000 acres), most of which is outside the Urban Service Area. He said that <br />Fellsmere’s reserve area should be reduced significantly. <br />Mr. Nunemaker <br /> mentioned that on the 1999 map which was previously <br />displayed, the entire city of Fellsmere was outside the Urban Service Area. At that time, nobody <br />had raised concerns regarding the future of Fellsmere. Mr. Nunemaker thereafter responded to <br />City of Vero Beach Council Member Bill Fish’s inquiry regarding whether the St. John’s River <br />Water Management District area could be annexed. <br />Attorney Vitunac <br /> established that the City of Vero Beach also wanted Fellsmere <br />to retract its reserve area to some degree. <br />Mr. Ken Daige <br />, Vero Beach Council Member, questioned Director Keating on <br />whether the County had a recommended size reduction for the Cities of Fellsmere and <br />Sebastian’s reserve areas. <br />Director Keating wanted Fellsmere to cut their reserve area in half. He reiterated <br />that the County’s major concern with Sebastian was their exemption from the unanimous <br />approval requirement, not so much the size. <br />10 <br />June 19, 2008 <br />Special Call Jt.
