Henderson, Jr., Acting City Engineer COPIES: SUBJECT: Wild Turkey Land Development Annexation DATE: July 26, 1976 CITY OF CLEARWATER Interdeputment Correspondence Sheet In accord with a written agreement in 1971, the' Engineering Department has begun process of annexation for certain lands owned by Wild Turkey Land Development Company. It appears, however, that certain City lands must also be annexed concurrently with the Wild Turkey Land in order for this to be a legal annexation. Some time in the past the City of Clearwater Commis sion has refus ed to annex the City-owned rights-of-way for some reason. Would you please review .the facts in this particular annexation and advise us if we should proceed further with the annexation. TO: "ROM: COPIES: . . CITY OF CLEARWATER Interdepartment Correspondence Sheet Michael paroby, Assistant City Manager Thomas A. Bustin, City Attorney Cecil Henderson, Asst. City Engineer SUBJECT: Wild Turkey Land Development Annexation DATE: July 28, 1976 Page 2 Applying the foregoing definition to the problem under consideration, it appears from an examination of. the print in particular that at the present time we do not have a boundary of the territory sought to be annexed which can be said to be substantially coterminous with a boun-dary of the municipality. In addition, as pointed out in the definition, the City-owned street or easement colored in orange on the print cannot be used to accomplish this purpose. It would, therefore, appear that in order to accomplish annexation we would have to convince other property owners surrounding the tracts in question to come in under the same ~nnexation proceedings in order to establish this substantial boundary requirement. Therefore, it would be my opinion at this particular time based on the information submitted that the annexation could not proceed in its present form. TAB:br Thomas A. Bustin City Attorney CITY OF CLEARWATER Interdepartment Correspondence Sheet TO: Michael paroby, Assistant City Manager FROM: Thomas A. Bustin, City Attorney COPIES: Cecil Henderson, Asst. City Engineer SUBJECT: Wild Turkey Land Development Annexation DATE: July 28, 1976 The following is a response to your July 26, 1976, memorandum, together with the attached material relating to the proposed Wild Turkey Land Development annexation, in which the question is posed with r'espect to whether or not this annexation should continue. I have examined the materials submitted, including the print of the area involved. The question which arises relates to whether or not this annexation can be accomplished pursuant to Chapter 171 of the Florida Statutes, which controls the annexation of land. IInportant to a resolution of the question is the definition lfcontiguousll found in Section 171.031 (11) which provides as follows: "( 11) 'Contiguous' means that a substantial part of a boundary of the territory sought to be annexed by a municipality is coterminous with ~ part of the boundary of the municipality. The separation of the territory sought to be annexed from the annexing municipality by a right-of-way for a highway, road, railroad, canal, or utility or by a body of water, a watercourse, or other minor geographical division of a similar nature, running parallel with and between the territory sought to be annexed and the annexing municipality, shall not prevent annexation under this act, provided the presence of such a division does not, as a practical matter, prevent the territory sought to be annexed and the annexing municipality from becoming a unified whole with respect to municipal services or prevent their inhabitants from fully associating and trading with each other, socially and economically. However, nothing herein shall be construed to allow local rights-of-way, utility easements, railroad rights- of-way, or like entitles to be annexed in a corridor fashion to gain continuity, and when any provision or provisions of special' law or 1awsprohibit the annexation of territory that is separated from the annexing municipality by a body of water or watercourse, then that law shall prevent annexation under this act.
