Snug Harbor Attempted Forced Annexation
Snug Harbor in Stuart Florida which is officially known as the Snug Harbor Yacht Club is a residential community in Martin County comprising of 72 home sites. Snug Harbor lies in an unusual situation as it is an enclave in the very eastern part of the area that is almost entirely located in the City of Stuart, yet Snug Harbor is not part of the City and most residents want to kep it this way.
Recently, the City of Stuart has proposed bringing a hybrid sewer system into Snug Harbor to allow Snug Harbor residents to hook up to the city system. Though, any one wishing to hook up must sign an agreement not to oppose the City annexing Snug Harbor into the City. Many of us see this as nothing more than a back door way for the City to increase their tax revenue while providing Snug Harbor with a de-facto decrease in the level of service which we currently receive from Martin County.
