COOPERSTOWN
At the Village of Cooperstown’s monthly board meeting on Monday, October 27, officials approved a special use application for 26 Walnut Street for four apartments, a rezone for 15 Chestnut Street for the Leatherstocking Corporation, and a variety of permits. Trustees also voted to declare old electric vehicle chargers at Doubleday Field as surplus and to accept a budget proposal from the Town of Middlefield for fire services. Committee reports included the information that the EMS Emergency Squad was only able to raise a crew 39 out of 59 calls during the prior month reporting period.
The board approved permits for the Halloween parade, a veterans’ parade, Alzheimer’s walk, Christmas parade, Christmas decorating day, the winter carnival, a fireworks display, and, retroactively, a Diwali celebration.
Two public hearings were held for different land uses. A rezoning request by the Leatherstocking Corporation for 15 Chestnut Street, the former site of the Cooperstown Inn that is now used as offices, was accepted without objection or public comment.
