Lake Helen, DeLand and the property owner/developer have of the I-4 AutoMall entered into a binding settlement agreement (approved by the Lake Helen City Commission on August 9, 2018), which included a provision to enter into a joint planning agreement (JPA) pursuant to which DeLand will agree not to annex any properties east of I‐4 and Lake Helen will agree not to annex any more properties west of I‐4 (except perhaps for an existing cemetery on the west side of I‐4 south of Orange Camp Road is in the works).
DeLand has agreed to provide sewer to certain portions of the City of Lake Helen east of I‐4, subject to availability and other logistical issues.
