Fishermen’s Village Waterfront Dining Could Expand with Raised Terrace

Fishermen’s Village waterfront dining is expanding. Punta Gorda City Council approved a variance on Oct. 28 that lets The Islands Kitchen & Cocktail House add raised outdoor seating 10 feet from the water. City code normally requires a 25-foot waterfront setback. The council attached four conditions, including a clear route of at least 10 feet between the new deck and the seawall for pedestrians, bicycles and emergency access, Gulfshore Business reported.
