Proposed Marina Village Development Plan

This site plan gives an overview of the proposed development. The first thing to recognize is that there is abundant green space near the water’s edge for recreational use by everyone. In addition, there will be shops, restaurant(s) and community amenities to be enjoyed by all for parties, meetings and group activities. This open space will be available for community use because the buildings are being designed to accommodate parking under the occupied floors of the buildings.

The state-of-the-art climate-controlled, mechanized boathouses are pictured at either end of the layout. The hotel (orange building in the lower right corner of the plan) will be the tallest building, approximately 220’ which includes parking under the structure. The two mid-rise residential condominium buildings (pink) are on either side of the hotel and will accommodate approximately 80 residential units each with parking under the building. The small buildings (shown in green) along the marina basin are ‘Funky Fish Houses’; individual units ‘for sale’ and / or for nightly rentals. The remainder of the site is dedicated for use by residents and visitors, providing open space for community events, recreation and relaxation at the water’s edge.

Proposed Versus Existing Locations

This graphic shows the proposed buildings (shown in brown) overlaid on a drawing of the existing buildings (shown in blue). With the exception of the blue buildings labeled ‘Exist. Condo’, the other blue buildings will be replaced with new construction and the services provided will be relocated to the new buildings. Most of the area where the proposed hotel and new condo buildings are shown is presently dedicated to outside boat storage with no access by the public other than in connection with marina and boat storage activities. Under the new plan which calls for building ‘up’, not ‘out’, much of the space that is now an operating work area will be open and available to the community.

Burnt Store Marina Town Center - Water View

This rendering shows the development at the water’s edge which is planned to include restaurant(s), shops, offices, a ship’s store, marine related businesses, a gazebo area and open space for the use and enjoyment of the residents and the public at large.  The pedestrian-friendly walkways, bike trails and cart paths around the marina basin and throughout the area provide attractive and enhanced waterfront access.

Burnt Store Marina Town Center - Birds Eye View

This view shows a more comprehensive perspective of the Marina Town Center. The building in the middle is the proposed hotel flanked by the two proposed condominium buildings which are the economic drivers for the redevelopment. The rendering shows structured parking under the occupied floors of the buildings in order to preserve the area around the Marina for open space and waterfront amenities for community use.

Burnt Store Marina Boathouse

This rendering reflects the future in boat storage. The new boat storage buildings are mechanized eliminating noise and soot from diesel operated forklifts. The buildings are environmentally sensitive, hurricane-resistant, climate-controlled and they provide better protection for the boats eliminating the unsightly outdoor dry rack storage now in use. The demand for these storage facilities will determine the timing for when they are built; since the Comp Plan amendment will control development in the Burnt Store area for decades not just years, it is imperative we take a long-term view and plan for area boat storage needs for well into the future.
