McKinney to get its very own galleon, on Stonebridge Lake!

News

 It looks like the Planning and Zoning comittee has approved the placement of the Galleon Dubrovnik.  All that is left now is for the Council to approve, they meet next on June 19th, 2007.

A little background on Adriatica, borrowed from a McKinney Courier-Gazette article:

"The southeast corner of Stonebridge Drive and Virginia Street is turning into something found in Central Europe and the Mediterranean rather than the typical office buildings found in Texas.

That’s exactly what the Blackard Group Inc. wants to accomplish at the Adriatica Croatian Village in Stonebridge, which is being developed on 45 acres at the southeast corner of the intersection. The village will also feature a harbor district that will include 68-foot-long docked galleon, bell tower, 74-room hotel, and other structures when the district is completed.

The 22-foot-wide Croatian galleon will be docked in the harbor and will have four levels. The one level that will be accessible to the public will feature an ice cream and coffee shop. Its five sails will be furrowed, and will be tied to a dock to prevent movement. It should resemble the Galleon Dubrovnik and should have three masts."
