The City is taking action due to the status of the area as an enclave and the <br />numerous life safety and quality of life issues that have challenged the area such as: illegal <br />dumping; illicit drug sales, prostitution; abandoned structures; unsafe structures; and <br />generalprofligate illegal activities. <br />The property is also being annexed because the small lot layout is generally <br />incommensurate with the services provided by the County outside of the urban service <br />area: Given the allowable density of your property and the surrounding properties on 100th <br />Lane and 100th Place, connection to a public water supply is strongly advisable to avoid <br />conflicts with onsite sewer. treatment (septic systems). Annexation into the City will also <br />afford enhanced .police services, drainage/roadway maintenance, code enforcement, and <br />more proximate access to the Building Departmentand your elected leaders. <br />Please be advised that the City Council of Fellsmere will be considering the approval of <br />the interlocal agreement that implements the annexation at the November 20`h, 2014 City <br />Council meeting starting at 7:OOPM.

The meeting will be held in the City Council Chambers <br />located at 22 South Cypress Street, Fellsmere, Florida 32948. You may also contact me <br />directly at 772-646-6303 to discuss the matter. Subsequent to the City Council action the <br />Indian River CountyBoard of County Commissioners (BOCC) will consider the interlocal <br />agreement at the December 2nd, 2014 Commission meeting commencing at 9:00AM.
