Mystic -- The Stonington Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled to resume its public hearing on the controversial Smiler’s Wharf on Monday at 7 p.m. in the Stonington High School auditorium.

More than 300 people filled the auditorium on June 17 as the commission listened to four hours of testimony from the developers of the Seaport Marine site, supporters and opponents. The hearing will resume with more opponents speaking about the project followed by residents with general comments. Bill Sweeney, the attorney for the developers, will then offer rebuttal testimony. The agenda for the hearing also lists possible deliberations by the commission if it can close the hearing.

Noank Shipyard is seeking to rezone a 7.5-acre portion of Seaport Marine’s 11-acre site off Washington Street from marine commercial to Neighborhood Development District and obtain approval for the master plan for the site.

The plan calls for the demolition of all buildings on the site except for the popular Red 36 restaurant and construction of a five-story, 45-unit hotel; a 16,590-square-foot, three-story marine service and community event space; a three-story, 200-seat restaurant; a six-story, 25-unit apartment building; 16 townhouses; six units of multifamily housing; a kayak rental building; an open-air plaza; a park; 120 boat slips; a 200-foot public boardwalk extension; 130 feet of new coastal access; a new boat basin that will require the removal of 13,000 square feet of land and a new bulkhead to protect against storm surge.

Supporters say it will increase the grand list, create jobs, revitalize a property that contains deteriorating boatsheds, increase public access to the water and improve coastal resiliency.

The state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection has recommended the PZC not rezone the property and that it is appropriately zoned for a boatyard use. It added that rezoning the site will result in the loss of water-dependent uses and place residences in a flood zone which would expose more people and property to risk. The DEEP has said it will not approve new bulkheads or flood control structures for the site if a hotel or residential development is built there.

Opponents say the project is not in compliance with the town’s Plan of Conservation and Development and the state’s Coastal Area Management Act and charge it would worsen traffic, parking and flooding problems in the neighborhood while damaging wetlands.
