Dozens Show Up For Hearing On Coffee Shop Expansion Plans

We continue to follow the plight of a local business that is trying to expand its operations. Owners of Cooperstown-based Stagecoach Coffee went before the Oneonta Planning Commission on Wednesday, asking for a zoning variance in order to transform a garage at their 31 Walnut Street location – into a bigger coffee shop.However, the plans have drawn criticism from area residents who claim the plans don’t fit in with the historic residential feel of the district. No decisions were made, but the commission did extend a public comment session until December 6th.
