Trustees Discuss Zoning, Staffing Changes
By ERIC SANTOMAURO-STENZELCOOPERSTOWN
At its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, September 22, the Board of Trustees of the Village of Cooperstown discussed issues including the exit of Police Chief Frank Cavalieri, upcoming zoning hearings for a proposed apartment building and rezoning of the Cooper Inn, the status of different grants, permits for local events, and more. The board also accepted the resignation of Deputy Treasurer Kathy Caffery and voted to advertise for a replacement.
The board considered several permit requests. They included permits for Village property use for a bass fishing tournament on October 5, an “Underwater Pumpkin Carving Contest” at Three Mile Point Park on October 4, pending safety and liability concerns to be resolved, and book sales on sidewalks in the fall and spring.
The board voted to accept a zoning official’s report on a potential zone change for 15 Chestnut Street, the site of the former Cooper Inn. The building is now being used as office space. The property owner, Leatherstocking Corporation, is seeking to have the zoning designation changed so that the portion of the land with the building can be altered from residential to business.
