Office of the <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />Michael C. Zito, Assistant County Administrator <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Members of the Board of County Commissioners <br />FROM: Brian Sullivan <br />Legislative Affairs & Communications Manager <br />DATE: October 9, 2019 <br />SUBJECT: Resolution Requesting the Legislature Enact a General Bill Amending <br />Boundary Line between Indian River County and St. Lucie County <br />BACKGROUND <br />Oskar and Gretchen Szentirmai own the property located at 2498 S. Highway A1A, which is <br />located on the east side of Highway. A1A (the "Szentirmai property"). Part of the Szentirmai <br />property is in Indian River County and part of the Szentirmai property is in St. Lucie County. Back <br />in 1991, St. Lucie County and Indian River County entered into an Agreement Regarding <br />Construction of Home on St. Lucie County and Indian River County Line (the "Agreement"), <br />which addressed issues pertaining to the development of the Szentirmai property, including <br />permitting, impact fees and concurrency. The Agreement, however, did not address issues relating <br />to the provision of services to the Szentirmai property. Oskar Szentirmai has recently reached out <br />to Indian River County, St. Lucie County and Senator Debbie Mayfield about the enactment of a <br />boundary change, which would allow for the entire Szentirmai property to be located in Indian <br />River County. The boundary change would assist in eliminating any confusion about the provision <br />of services to the Szentirmai property. <br />County staff has had initial discussions with St. Lucie County staff about the boundary change. In <br />order to make a boundary change more equitable, as part of those discussions, we have examined <br />having the properties located on the west side of Highway A1A, located between Highway AIA <br />and the Indian River Lagoon, be switched to being in St. Lucie County. SBM Associates, LLC <br />owns the property on the west side of Highway A1A. St. Lucie County has reached out to the <br />representatives of SBM Associates, LLC who have indicated their initial support of the boundary <br />change. <br />2 <br />
