Franklin county commission to consider mobile restaurant on St. George Island

            Franklin County commissioners can now move forward on a proposed 80 seat restaurant on St. George Island.

The board has been asked for Commercial Site Plan approval for “Loula and Dan”, an 80 seat single service restaurant which would be located in the center of the island.

The dining would be open air patio style because the kitchen, restrooms and cooler would be portable, so the whole restaurant could evacuate during a major storm.

The county’s planning and zoning board voted three to two to deny the site plan.

County commissioners tabled action on the issue earlier this summer so the state ethics commission could rule on whether Commissioner Smokey Parrish had a conflict because his wife works for one of the parties involved.

The ethics commission recently ruled that there is no conflict and the commissioner Parrish can vote.

The county commission said they would like the proposal brought back to the board as quickly as possible.
