The city of Cape Coral will hold two public meetings on the redesign of the Yacht Club with the first taking place next Tuesday.

The meetings, which are open to the public and do not require registration, will be held at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 2, and Tuesday, May 7, at Mercola Market, 125 S.W. 3rd Place.

Those who attend will have the chance to learn more about the project, ask questions and provide their feedback on the design, city officials said in a release issued Thursday.

The Kimley Horn design team will provide a presentation during the meeting. There will also be breakout sessions where those who attend are able to ask questions located at individual stations.

Cape Coral City Council has selected its design preference, which will depict a “coastal vernacular feel,” or Key West vibe, officials said.

There were three design options on the table: The preferred option one with its Key West vibe; option two, intended to evoke the design of the current historic structure; and option three, a more modern look that received no support.

The revised Community Center floor plan now includes a total of 47,000 square feet, with the majority being on the first floor for 27,250 square feet and the remainder, 19,750, spread out on the second floor. The prior square footage was 37,000 square feet — 20,000 square feet on the first floor, and 17,000 square feet on the second.

The revised first-floor plan includes additional meeting space, storage and a small loading and receiving area on the side of the building. There is also more functional space on the pool deck and water.
