BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The Meridian Marina, previously known as Martin Downs Marina, Martin Downs Yacht Club, Martin Downs Boating Club and Martin Downs Yacht Club, was developed in the early 1990's as part of the Martin Downs PUD Agreement and included four-phased master planned Marina Village. Phases 1 and 2 involved the marina basin and boat storage facility. Phase 3 included a 49-unit condominium complex which is not part of this application. Phase 4 was never developed.
The revised master/final site plan for Meridian Marina includes the addition of dry boat storage to accommodate 215 boats in addition to the existing 325 dry slips. The proposed restaurant is to be approximately 6,000 sq. ft. and the existing sales and operations offices will be reduced to 2,400 sq. ft.
Pursuant to Sec. 10.5.F.9, Land Development Regulations, Martin County Code, a public hearing before the Local Planning Agency is not required.
