Procter Developer Wants Mariana

Developers of the ambitious Kootenay Lake Village near Procter hope to win approval for the first yacht club and marina on the main lake.

Oliver Berkeley says the private facility will be a major engineering challenge.

“We have a proposed pier that goes about 200 feet out into the lake, with a clubhouse and 60 boat marina just in front of it,” he says. “it will be the first floating breakwater on the lake.”

Thirty-four lots have already sold in the up market project that sits on 450 acres of forest and spans three kilometers of waterfront. More than half the property has been designated parkland where no building will take place.
