Developer presents waterfront retail concept; Planning Board requests detailed plans
Summary
Bruce Carey outlined plans for a string of small retail units at 8443 Bay Street and the board asked for more detailed sketches of shop dimensions, bathrooms, sidewalks, parking and materials before further review; follow-up scheduled for Sept. 2.
Bruce Carey presented a preliminary special-use plan for 8443 Bay Street proposing a cluster of small retail units (Carey estimated about 15–20 shops roughly 16'x20' each), a new porch, courtyard and public parking across from the park. Carey said he will tear down the existing building, reface porches, and give local businesses first opportunity to occupy the units; sales tax would apply to tenants.
The CEO and board asked for more intensive sketches and detailed maps showing shop dimensions, bathrooms, sidewalks, parking and materials. Bill Kedley and Bill McKee emphasized the need for drawings that show bathrooms and common areas; the board scheduled a follow-up meeting on Sept. 2 for Carey to return with revised sketches and dimensions. The CEO also noted he was coordinating separate dock plans and would speak with a named contact on Friday.
