Dredging Permit Hearing Set for Venice Fish Market Site
A hearing is scheduled for Sept. 3 at City Hall on a permit request by Fish Market Restaurant owners to dredge over 400 feet along the west bank of the Intracoastal Waterway and build a 20 by 30 foot dock plus 230 feet of shoreline pier. The plan faces city objections citing adherence to the comprehensive plan environmental concerns manatee habitat mangroves and increased water traffic near Hatchett Creek draw bridge. The Venice Area Chamber of Commerce supports the project while the city denies it.
