Dantin-Bruce Annexation Request
Annexation request deniedPassed 3–0 · unanimousDeniedThe council denied the request for the Dantin-Bruce property (an inverted 'L' shaped parcel backing up to Hammock Bay, off Highway 83A, one parcel in from Bay Loop). The denial was consistent with council's past policy of not approving annexations that would create enclaves or require cutting off small slivers of property. The attorney noted that while the proposed annexation was technically compliant with state statute, the council has historically opposed this method. The applicant would need to secure surrounding parcels to the east to make annexation feasible without creating an enclave.
