Charlottetown floats plans to regulate businesses on the water

A plan for the City of Charlottetown to oversee development on the water, such as floating food courts and houseboats, was met with cautious optimism during a public meeting Tuesday night.
About 20 people attended the meeting at the Rodd Charlottetown Hotel.
Valerie Docherty, one of the owners of the Marinas of Charlottetown, said her company is working to make the marinas the envy of the Maritimes, not the next Coney Island.
Docherty cautioned about over regulation, pointing out the rules proposed limit the number of floating cottages to three.
The Marinas of Charlottetown currently have four and would like to expand that to 10.
"We want it to blend in with the city's waterfront," Docherty said in an interview following the meeting.
"We don't want it to be this eyesore. We want it to be one of those places that not only boaters but tourists say, 'Oh my gosh, you have got to come here.'"
