The Cape Charles Planning Department has received a request to construct a miniature golf course. The proposed location is on Stone Road at the entrance of the town proper. The course would be a commercial use in the C-3 zoning district.
As a note, the permitted uses in C-3, outlined in the Town Zoning Ordinance, Section 3.8 (B)(2), include all that are presently allowed in the C-1 and C-2 districts and “any other commercial or professional use which is compatible in nature with the allowed uses and which the Zoning
Administrator determines to be compatible with the intent of the district and is concurred with by the Planning Commission.”
A previous mini-golf course exited off of Mason Avenue in the past (Birdies Golf).
“It seems a putt-putt golf course may be compatible with other allowable uses in the C-3 district and the Zoning Administrator requests the Planning Commission’s review to determine if there are any concerns with the matter. If the Planning Commission concurs, the use will be allowed by right on any parcel in the C-3 district, unless, the Planning Commission requires it to be
approved only on a case-by case basis by a conditional use permit.” –Allyson Finchum, Zoning Administrator.
Great idea. My brother-in-law and I own four contiguous lots east of the Museum. We would be happy to talk to you. 609-480-9876
Sounds like fun to me. I wonder if the C.C. Historical Commission will make all players wear Ties and Plus Fours ?
Scotiagirl certainly hopes so. She would also like that space to include a croquet field so that she and her gentlemen friends can wear their starched white linens, flat shoes of course, proper hats and sip Pimms between rounds.
Pimms ? My international liqueur ignorance on full display in that I never heard of it. Croquet and Website make it look and sound summery. If I find my phone by then I’ll call ABC, order and and give it a try ? Thanks for the tip !
Stick with Scotiagirl, she knows many things… especially in the category of libations…
