The owners of The Wyndham property received final approval from the the Fort Myers Beach Town Council Wednesday for rebuild plans at their south end property on Estero Blvd. Here’s what they plan to build in two phases.
Phase 1 includes an 11,200 square foot Tiki Pole barn structure with a restaurant and bar under that structure. Food and beverage will be provided by six mobile trailers. There will be covered outdoor seating, and space for live entertainment. Outdoor service and alcohol will be allowed throughout the recreation areas. A total of 163 parking spaces including paid parking would be provided on the site including paid parking.
Proposed Phase 2 will be constructed with a wave dissipation wall, and replacement of the mobile vending trailers with a permanent restaurant constructed within the Tiki/Pole Barn structure.
The project was approved by the LPA (6-1).
There are no plans to rebuild a hotel on the property.
Due to the elimination of the mobile vending trailers, the restaurant and entertainment area will be reconfigured slightly and will decrease in size to a maximum of 11,500 square feet. The recreation area will be modified to include a pool and lazy river and will increase in size to 21,500 square feet. A total of 237 parking spaces including paid parking would be provided on the site.
Operating hours would be 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM and amplified sound from 10:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
They requested 7 deviations from the Land Development Code.
The Wyndham was destroyed by Hurricane Ian and eventually demolished.
