Developer Eyes New Restaurant On Schooley's Mountain

LONG VALLEY, N.J. – An eyesore for years, the plot of land that formerly housed the Mountain View Inn across from Rock Spring Park may get a makeover and bring a new business to Long Valley.

A group named Schooley’s Mountain Road Associates has filed applications with the township to knock down both buildings currently sitting at 141 Schooley’s Mountain Road and build an 8,440 square-foot restaurant, Planning Board secretary Barbara Margolese said.

The restaurant will offer 147 seats with a 3,750 square-foot basement; 3,750 square-foot main level; and 940 square-foot mezzanine section. According to the planning board, the business name is listed as OMG Burger.

The site would include a liquor license as well.

Representatives for the company will go before the planning board Wednesday, April 6 for a preliminary/final major site plan and possible public hearing. The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at 43 Schooley’s Mountain Road.

The group will also provide experts to testify about traffic potential, environmental impact since the property has some wetland issues, and other potential obstacles, Margolese said.

An attorney for the development group could not be immediately reached for comment.
