Highway AIA, which is located on the east <br />side of Highway A1A, lies in both Indian River County and St. Lucie County; and <br />WHEREAS, in 1991, Indian River County and St. Lucie County entered into an agreement <br />regarding construction of a home at 2498 S.

Highway A1A approached <br />Indian River County, St. Lucie County, and members of the Florida Legislature requesting a <br />statutory boundary change which would assist in eliminating any confusion about the provision of <br />services to the property; and <br />WHEREAS, Indian River County staff has discussed the issue with St. Lucie County staff <br />and determined, to make the boundary change more equitable, the properties located on the west <br />side of Highway A1A, located between Highway A1A and the Indian River Lagoon, should be <br />transferred to St. Lucie County; and <br />WHEREAS, Indian River County has determined the boundary change will have minimal <br />impact on Indian River County, while eliminating confusion as to the provision of services to the <br />property located at 2498 S. Highway A1A; and <br />WHEREAS, any boundary change must be enacted by the Florida Legislature through the <br />enactment of a general bill. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THAT: <br />Section 1. The above "WHEREAS" clauses are true and correct, and hereby adopted as <br />findings of this Board. <br />Section 2. The Board of County Commissioners hereby requests the Florida Legislature <br />enact legislation which transfers the property located at 2498 S. Highway A1A to Indian River <br />County and which transfers the property located within Round Island Plantation on the west side <br />of Highway AIA, between Highway AIA and the Indian River Lagoon, to St. Lucie County. <br />4 <br />
