8 WHEREAS, s. 2(c), Article VIII of the State Constitution
9 provides that municipal annexation of unincorporated territory
10 shall be as provided by general or special law, and
11 WHEREAS, in s. 171.046, Florida Statutes, the Legislature
12 recognized that enclaves of unincorporated territory can create
13 significant problems in planning, growth management, and service
14 delivery, and therefore declared that it is the policy of the
15 state to eliminate enclaves, and
16 WHEREAS, s. 171.031(13), Florida Statutes, defines an
17 “enclave” to mean any unincorporated improved or developed area
18 that is enclosed within and bounded on all sides by a single
19 municipality or any unincorporated improved or developed area
20 that is enclosed within and bounded by a single municipality and
21 a natural or manmade obstacle that allows the passage of
22 vehicular traffic to that unincorporated area only through the
23 municipality, and
24 WHEREAS, the Legislature finds that a certain portion of
25 Edgewater Park and adjoining canals, lying contiguous and
26 adjacent to the present boundaries of the Town of Lake Clarke
27 Shores, and comprising approximately 32.768 acres in land area,
28 is a near-enclave, posing many of the inefficiencies and
29 problems in planning, growth management, and service delivery
30 that motivate the elimination of enclaves, and
31 WHEREAS, the Legislature further finds that there is no
32 available statutory procedure to expedite the annexation of
33 near-enclaves into the most appropriate incorporated
34 jurisdiction, and that it is in the best interest of residents
35 and visitors to this state that a special law be enacted for
36 that purpose with respect to the Edgewater Park near-enclave,
