Eddie V’s Prime Seafood is requesting approval to construct a 10,000 square foot restaurant building on the property located at 151 Lakelands Drive, which is at the corner of Lakelands Drive and Great Seneca Highway in Gaithersburg.
According to a “Statement of Justification” submitted to City of Gaithersburg, “Lakelands, LLC has been approached by the operators of Eddie V’s Prime Seafood dining establishment. Eddie V’s is a restaurant division within the portfolio of Darden Restaurants which includes such comparable dining brands as Capital Grille, Seasons 52, Olive Garden, etc. There are currently thirty Eddie V’s restaurants nationally with the closest one located in Tyson’s Corner, Virginia.
When Eddie V’s became aware of the unique setting that the Subject Property provided with a) large surrounding population, b) easy access from adjacent transportation routes and c) a much desired water view dining environment, it promptly began planning about how to bring its food and entertainment specialties of seafood, prime steaks, cocktails and musical entertainment (jazz) to this remarkable setting.
This Final Site Plan Application seeks to increase the size of the restaurant building to take advantage of the vista over Lake Varuna and to organize parking and site circulation in a manner to minimize site disturbance and loss of existing vegetation.”
The plans are under review and a public hearing has not yet been scheduled. Comments on this application may be either mailed to 31 South Summit Avenue, Gaithersburg, MD, 20877 or emailed to [email protected].
