B. Update - Holiday Isle Park Property Recently Acquired by State of Florida

April 20, 2026, Regular City Council Meeting · 2026-04-20 · agenda_item

The City of Destin is reviewing plans for the recently acquired Holiday Isle Park Property. The proposal includes two parking concepts for the park, which is located on just over half an acre. Concept 1, the favored option, proposes 45-degree angled parking along a one-way drive aisle, creating 57 new spaces for a total of 115. Dock uses are also being considered for low-impact options like fishing piers and daytime transient slips. This item is currently under review, with the council leaning towards Concept 1 and continuing negotiations with the county and state. The project would involve site clearing and grading, underground utility work, road and driveway paving, and final landscaping. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers should reach out early to learn more about potential opportunities as plans develop before bids and permits are finalized.
