MOORESVILLE

The town Board of Commissioners has approved a Mint Hill developer's plans to build a 52-slip marina off N.C. 150 and sell and service boats there.

The marina will include a pedestrian boardwalk, protective seawall and a refurbished and expanded building with more storefront.

Nearby residents applauded the commissioners' unanimous votes approving a permit and rezoning for the project Monday night because the votes excluded allowing space for dredging operations. Residents had fought the developer's original plans to allow a local dredging company to relocate its operations from Williamson Road at Interstate 77 Exit 33.

The developer, dentist Ted Morris, ultimately wants to build a development called Promenade on the Lake on the 16.5 acres. It would include a hotel up to eight stories tall, 200 boat slips, a conference center, spa, condos and retail shops.

The economy doesn't favor such further development now, said Robby Johnson of Robert Johnson Architects Inc. in Charlotte, who represented Morris before the Board of Commissioners.

The marina will also include a store and restrooms. An existing boat ramp will be restored, and cars will get to the ramp via Big Dukes Lane.
