Wekiva Island Winter Wonderland permit approved with limited amplified sound and conditional capacity
Summary
The board approved the Wekiva Island Winter Wonderland permit for Dec. 1–28 with up to 450 attendees on event days, extended weekday hours on some days, and off‑duty deputies providing security; commissioners clarified the higher capacity applies only to specified event days.
Mary Robinson presented the Wekiva Island Winter Wonderland request for Dec. 1–28, asking to extend weekday closing time to 9 p.m. on some dates and to allow up to 450 attendees on designated event days. Robinson said amplified sound would be used only on certain family‑friendly movie nights and for a VIP party on Dec. 28; security would be provided by off‑duty Seminole County deputies.
Commissioner Lee Constantine clarified that the 450‑person figure applied only to days with scheduled special events, not every day of the run. Robinson confirmed the applicant’s request matched previous years for event days. The board voted unanimously to approve the permit subject to staff recommendations.
