In July the Planning & Zoning Commission voted to approve “Phase 1″ of a new rowing club on the site of the former Fjord Fisheries.
The applicant’s attorney Thomas Heagney said his clients’ goal is to establish the club before fall using existing facilities. On July 21 the applicant received a certificate of permission from the CT DEEP to reconfigure the floating dock on the south side of the property and for a new access ramp.
Mr. Heagney said the incoming rowing club runs other locations, including one in Westport on the Saugatuck River and another in Rye, NY.
The new club will be heralded by port-o-potties for Phase 1. And, for now, the old red Fjord Fisheries building will continue to sit empty. P&Z commissioner Nancy Ramer asked whether it was safe to have children at the rowing club coming and going in the vicinity of an abandoned building. Mr. Heagney said it was safe, yet the building’s basement door has been left open and the exterior stairs appear unstable.
In Phase 1, the parking lot will be striped for about 40 cars. There are 22 boat slips on the east side of the property, which Mr. Heagney said are in poor condition. He said the boat slips may be removed as they are not part of the rowing club plan.
