Large crowd turns out for Oyster Bay Town board hearing on hotel proposal

A crowd of more than 350 packed Oyster Bay Town Hall Tuesday night for a hearing on a proposed hotel in Jericho that has raised community concerns about traffic, safety and privacy. New Hyde Park-based Kimco Realty is seeking a special use permit from the town to allow it to build a three-floor, 93-room Marriott Residence Inn in a rear parking lot of the Jericho Commons shopping center, which Kimco owns.
