A rendering of the Hammock Harbor redevelopment proposed for the 4 acres next to Hammock Hardware. The building would be larger than the White House or the proposed Sheriff’s Operations Center in Bunnell.
The 240-boat storage facility proposed for a 4-acre parcel on the Intracoastal in the Hammock two years ago ran into its latest setback tonight as the county planning board refused to define the facility as a marina, as its developer wants to do–not yet, anyway.
The board, in a unanimous vote directed the county administration to draft an ordinance that would define the word “marina” and bring it back to the board for a work session within 60 days. That vote followed nearly two hours of discussion, public comment and board members’ wrangling over the request, with some members ridiculing the storage facility’s definition as a marina and wanting to reject it outright.
