Fincantieri Bay Shipbuilding will be looking to get a variance from the City of Sturgeon Bay to do additions to the shipyard. A new fabrication shop on the south end of the industrial complex is in the plans as well as increasing the height of existing buildings near the downtown. Vice-President and General Manager Todd Thayse says a lot of details need to be figured out, including the variance, before the major project is underway.
Bay ship is looking for a variance to exceed the 45-feet height limit on buildings in the heavy industrial district. The company has applied for two new variances for building height to expand an existing 57-foot tall structure and construct a new one as high as 110 feet. The Sturgeon Bay Plan Commission will meet at 6 PM on Wednesday to consider the zoning text amendment in regards to Bay Ship’s request.
