COOPERSTOWN -- A few minutes ago, a lawsuit was filed in Otsego County Supreme Court to block the 65-unit Lofts on Dietz development in the City of Oneonta.
Atty. Douglas Zamelis, Springfield Center, filed the suit on behalf five proprietors of businesses near the Dietz Street parking lot objecting to parking spaces in the lot that would be lost due to the Lofts project.
They are accountant Johna Peachin, whose Peachin Associates is at Dietz and Main; John and Kathleen Pietrobono, whose Lewis, Hurley & Pietrobono Funeral Home is at 51 Dietz St., and dentists Robert B. Jr. and Gerald Pondolfino of Pondolfino Dental Associates, 39 Dietz.
“This is America,” said Mayor Gary Herzig when alerted to the development. “Anybody is entitled to sue anybody else for whatever reason they want to, whether there’s a basis or not. I believe there is no ground for any action.”
