In a recent government meeting, officials unveiled plans for a new waterfront development featuring boat houses and residential units designed to enhance community engagement and environmental sustainability. The proposed project, located on the east side of the basin, includes private docks and amenities such as a kayak launch, exercise room, and pool.

The development has garnered significant interest from the public, with many inquiries about the design and features. Notably, the original plan for a large condominium building has been revised to include three smaller residential structures, comprising nine, thirteen, and eighteen units. This change aims to improve accessibility and visibility for other residences around the basin, fostering a more inclusive environment.

Additionally, the developers expressed a desire to incorporate a public restaurant into the site, a feature that was part of a previously approved plan. The landscaping will focus on tree-lined bays and sidewalks, promoting a welcoming atmosphere with benches along public areas for visitors to enjoy the scenic views of Lake Michigan.

The project also emphasizes ecological considerations, with efforts to create a biotic connection between land and water, aligning with state recommendations for environmental stewardship. As the meeting transitioned to a question-and-answer session, community members were encouraged to engage further with the development plans, reflecting a commitment to transparency and public involvement in the project’s progression.
