Fellsmere moving forward to annex 8,800 acres - VeroNews: Fellsmere Government Page 2 of 2 <br />Ten percent of the property would be donated as public space, which would serve one of any <br />number of public uses, from open space, parks and public parking, to land for future schools, fire <br />stations and other such facilities. <br />Worked into the donation would also be 100 contiguous usable acres that would be developed as <br />outdoor recreational space, according to the agreement. <br />Vice Mayor Joel Tyson voiced support for the annexation, recalling a meeting he had with Dan <br />Corrigan so many years ago when Tyson was not on the Council. He said Corrigan approached <br />him about being annexed in, but the property wasn't contiguous to the City. Since then, the City <br />has annexed properties separating the boundaries from the Corrigan land, and it now meets. <br />Tyson said annexing the property would give Fellsmere more transportation routes into and out of <br />the City so it isn't so dependent on County Road 512. <br />No other Council members spoke in favor of or in opposition to the proposal. <br />The second and final reading of the annexation ordinance is scheduled for the next Fellsmere City <br />Council meeting, Oct. 2, at 7 p.m. <br />http://www.veronews.com/news/fellsmere/government/fellsmere-moving-forward-to-anne... 9/19/2014 <br />
