All the plans would be part of a new Master Plan which, by existing law, open for public scrutiny and input. I hope these legislated additional restrictions don't screw up the main point of the bill! No matter what, Jekyll Island is a beautiful place and Atlantans should come down and see what all the fuss is about!
