Hickory Run Neighbors

Awaiting Zoning Decision

Thirty residents and Glimmerglass-side camp owners from around the former Hickory Run Restaurant on
At this hour, 30 residents and Glimmerglass-side camp owners  from around the former Hickory Run Restaurant halfway up West Lake Road are at the Town of Otsego Planning Board meeting in Fly Creek, awaiting discussion of the property’s redevelopment as a restaurant/hotel by Blackbird Hollow, LLC (Joe Galati and Susanne Adsit, Jon McManus and Les Sittler).   A 22-room project was approved in 2014, but modifications are being sought to expand that to three dozen rooms.  In addition to neighbors, Otsego 2000 and the OCCA are weighing in against such development on Otsego Lake’s shores.   The Planning Board’s chair is John Phillips (in the center at the front table).  In the foreground are, from left, Otsego Town Supervisor Meg Kiernan, Town Board member Tom Hohensee and Ken Barwick, an Otsego 2000 board member.  (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)
