MAJORITY TAKES HOLD,  SELLS MOUNTAINTOP LOT TO OTSEGO LAND TRUST By: Jim Kevlin  08/07/2019  1:28 pm DRAMA AT COUNTY BOARD MAJORITY TAKES HOLD, SELLS MOUNTAINTOP LOT TO OTSEGO LAND TRUST CONCERN: NON-PROFIT WON’T PAY PROPERTY TAXES

The

87-acre Rose Hill property adjoins the Otsego Land Trust’s 85-acre Fetterlee Forest on the mountaintop at right, overlooking Canadarago Lake and Trust-owned Daewongo Island, at left. By JIM KEVLIN • Special to www.AllOTSEGO.com

County

Rep. Peter Oberacker, R-Schenevus, tells his colleagues it would take 497 years of county taxes on Rose Hill to make up the $151,000 the Otsego Land Trust wants to pay for it right now.   At left is Rep. Michelle Farwell, D-Butter- nuts/Morris/Pittsfield. (Jim Kevlin/AllOTSEGO.com)

COOPERSTOWN

– A coalition of Republican and Democratic reps took control of the floor at this morning’s county Board of Representatives’ meeting and approved the $151,000 sale of the 87-acre Rose Hill property to the Otsego Lake Trust, a non-profit not required to pay property

taxes.

The land, atop Panther Mountain on the north end of the Town of Otsego, connects with the Land Trust’s 85-acre Fetterlee Forest

,

doubling the trust’s holding, which features a scenic overlook of Canadarago Lake and Deawongo Island, as well as hiking trails. The sale had been stymied in the county board’s committee system since April, failing to pass the Public Works Committee, then failing to pass the Administrative Committee. Normally, that would have ended

it.
