HOWLAND AND CAROLE WAGNER, AS CO -TRUSTEES OF THE SHADY REST MHP TRUST U/A DATED DECEMBER 24, 1985. THIS ANNEXATION AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 25th day of March, 2009, between the CITY OF SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA, a municipal corporation of the State of Florida, ("Sebastian" or "City") and EDWARD R. HOWLAND AND CAROLE WAGNER, AS CO -TRUSTEES OF THE SHADY REST MHP TRUST U/A DATED DECEMBER 24, 1985, ("Owner"). WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Edward R. Howland and Carole Wagner, as Co -Trustees of the Shady Rest MHP Trust, is the owner of the real property located in unincorporated Indian River County, Florida, which is legally described on Exhibit "A" attached hereto and which is known as the Shady Rest Mobile Home Park ("the Property"); and WHEREAS, the Property is located within the Indian River County Urban Service Area and therefore is excluded from the restrictions on annexations imposed by the Interlocal Agreement relating to annexations under Chapter 171 Florida Statutes, as adopted by Resolution R-07-22 by the City of Sebastian; and and WHEREAS, the Property is substantially contiguous to the municipal boundaries of Sebastian; WHEREAS, Sebastian desires to annex the Property into its municipal boundaries and said annexation would not result in the creation of any enclaves and the annexation of the Property will be in the best interests of Sebastian and its residents; and WHEREAS, the Property is currently being used as a rental mobile home park with no current plans to change the use of the Property; and Page 1 of 5 . � r WHEREAS, Sebastian can provide the necessary general government, non-proprietary services to the Property, normally being provided to its residents, such as police protection, code enforcement building and zoning services, as needed; and WHEREAS, City and Owner support the annexation of the Property into the City and the City is willing to enter into this Agreement pursuant to the authority of the Florida Constitution (including Article VIII, Section 2(b) and 2(c) thereof), the general powers conferred upon municipalities by statute and otherwise (including Chapter 166 and Chapter 171, Florida Statutes) and the City's Charter; and WHEREAS, Sebastian and Owner desire to establish agreements relating to land development and use upon the annexation of the Property into the City of Sebastian. NOW THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 1. The foregoing recitations are true and correct and are incorporated herein by reference. 2. Sebastian and Owner are proceeding with the voluntary annexation of the Property into the City of Sebastian. Upon the annexation of the Property into the City, this Agreement shall govern the parties' rights and obligations regarding the Property as to the matters provided herein. 3. The parties agree to promptly and diligently pursue an amendment to Sebastian's Comprehensive Land Use Map to accommodate the land use of Riverfront Mixed Use (RMU) for the Property. After the Map amendment has taken effect, City Staff agrees to cooperate with Owner in the rezoning of the Property to Commercial Riverfront (CR) and, at some undetermined future time, the issuance of other development orders (permits) necessary to change the use of the Property for development consistent with Commercial Riverfront zoning of the Land. Nothing herein shall bind the City Council of the City of Sebastian to the approval of the zoning classification. The City Council of the City of Sebastian retains full quasi-judicial authority in establishing the Land Use and Zoning designation(s) for subject parcel. 4. The receipt of a new Comprehensive Land Use Map designation and a new zoning district for Page 2 of 5 the Property does not result in a change of use of the Property. 5. Mobile home and recreational vehicle rental parks (as defined in the Sebastian Land Development Code) are not a listed use within the Commercial Riverfront (CR) zoning district. However, since the use of the Property is designed and built to accommodate mobile homes and recreational vehicles within its 117 rental spaces, the Property and its 117 rental spaces shall be allowed to be used for such purposes for a period of ten (10) years following the annexation of the Property into the City. At the end of said ten (10) year period, the rental of the 117 spaces shall cease and the use of the Property as a mobile home and recreational vehicle rental park shall terminate and any further use of the Property shall be in conformance with the zoning of the Property. 6. The Owner of the Property is subject to the provisions of Chapter 723, Florida Statutes, the Florida Mobile Home Act. When there is a change in use of the Property, Section 723.061 (1)(d) Florida Statutes requires the Owner to give the mobile home owners and tenants "at least six (6) months' notice of the projected change of use and of their need to secure other accommodations". Owner acknowledges that a period in excess of six (6) months to secure other accommodations would be of great help to the mobile home owners and tenants. Therefore, Owner agrees that it will continue to operate the mobile home park for a period of five (5) years from June 11, 2008 to June 10, 2013. 7. This Annexation Agreement is not intended to supersede or expand in any way, the provisions of Florida laws as set forth in Chapter 723 Florida Statutes, except for the limited purposes as specifically provided herein. 8. Either party may enforce the terms of this Annexation Agreement by any action at law or in equity. It is stipulated, without limitation to other such remedies, that injunctive relief be available without requirement that the absence of an adequate remedy at law be proved. Nothing herein should be construed as a waiver of any right granted by law or equity to enforce this Annexation Agreement. 9. This Agreement incorporates and includes all prior negotiations, correspondence, Page 3 of 5 conversations, agreements or understandings applicable to the matters contained herein and the parties agree there are no commitments, agreements or understandings concerning the subject matter of this Agreement that are not contained in or incorporated into this document. 10.
