Double-OK Buoys
Lofts On Dietz Plan

ONEONTA -- The Lofts are rising.
A day after Common Council, 7-1, authorized the sale of part of the Dietz Street parking lot to Kearney & Son Development for the 64-unit Lofts on Dietz, the city Planning Commission Wednesday evening unanimously approved the site plan application, clearing the way for the project to go forward.
Prior to discussion the plan's particulars, the commission reviewed the SEQRA application, and authorized chairman Anna Tomaino to sign a "negative declaration." Under the state Environmental Quality Review Act, such a declaration finds the project will have minimal impact.
