Holiday Isle
County Cuspidor by County Commissioner Mike Mitchell
County commissioner Mike Mitchell laments the Santa Rosa County Board decision to support a marina plan at Holiday Isle 100 foet right of way and 200 feet lagoon frontage. He notes a 39 slip marina with 13,880 sq ft deck versus two straight docks needing 6,000 sq ft. The board also delays a septic field approval and ponders county logo on a water tank while inviting further discussion at two weeks. A diabetes screening event at Santa Rosa Mall is announced as free and quick.
