State Environmental Quality Review
NEGATIVE DECLARATION
Notice of Determination of Non -Significance
Date of Adoption: February 26th, 2018
Name of Action: Resolution Amending the Town Comprehensive Plan and Local Law Amending
Chapter 240, Zoning, of the Town Code in Connection with the Route 376 Holdings, Inc. Rezoning
Request
Implementing Regulations: This notice is issued pursuant to Part 617 of the implementing
regulations pertaining to Article 8 (State Environmental Quality Review Act) of the Environmental
Conservation Law.
Determination: The Wappinger Town Board, as Lead Agency, has determined that the Proposed
Action described below will not have a significant adverse effect on the environment and a Draft
Environmental Impact Statement will not be prepared.
SEQR Status: Unlisted Action
Conditioned Negative Declaration: No
Description of Action: The Proposed Action is a resolution amending the designation of property
in the Town Comprehensive Plan from Medium Density Residential to Commercial, and a Local Law
amending Chapter 240, Zoning, of the Town Code by rezoning property from the R-40 One -Family
Residence District to the General Business (GB) District.
Location: Town of Wappinger, Dutchess County
Reasons Supporting This Determination:
Proposed Action
The Proposed Action is the adoption of a resolution by the Town Board which would amend the
Town's Comprehensive Plan to change the designation of a portion of a parcel from the Medium
Density Residential category to the Commercial designation on the Plan's Recommended Land
Use Plan, and the adoption of a Local Law by the Town Board which would amend Chapter 240,
Zoning, of the Town Code by rezoning said property from the R-40 One -Family Residence District
to the General Business (GB) District in connection with the Route 376 Holdings, Inc. rezoning
request.
State Environmental Quality Review, Negative Declaration, Notice of Determination of Non -Significance
Soils
The project site contains the Haven loam, nearly level (He) soil type. According to Dutchess
County Soil Survey information and the Natural Resource Conservation Service website, the
Haven loam is a well drained soil with a depth to bedrock and depth to water table of greater than
80 inches. Therefore, the future potential development is not expected to encounter bedrock or a
high water table during construction, and soils appear to be suitable for the installation of a
subsurface sewage disposal system (SSDS). Based on this information, the Proposed Action and
future potential development would not result in any significant adverse impacts related to soils.
Wetlands
According to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC)
Environmental Resource Mapper, the project site does not contain any NYSDEC streams or
wetlands or National Wetland Inventory wetlands.
Water and Wastewater
The future potential development of the site would require a new water supply well and a SSDS,
which would require review and approval by the Dutchess County Department of Health (DCDOH).
According to the NYSDEC Design Standards for Intermediate Sized Wastewater Treatment
Systems, March 2014, a service station/convenience store is expected to result in 15 gallons per
day (gpd) per toilet water usage and wastewater generation, and retail space is expected to result
in 0.1 gpd per square foot (SF) of floor area plus 15 gpd per employee. Therefore, the future
proposed 2,870 SF gasoline filling station with convenience mart with 8 employees would result in
437 gpd water usage and wastewater generation, or 350 gpd assuming a 20% reduction for the
use of water saving plumbing fixtures. The abandonment of the existing well would also require
approval by DCDOH.
Stormwater
Future development of the 2.03 -acre site for a gasoline filling station with convenience store may
result in 1.17 acres of physical disturbance, and an increase in impervious surface of 0.44 acre.
The design plans and stormwater pollution prevention plan would be prepared in conformance with
the New York State Stormwater Management Design Manual, dated January 2015, and New York
State Standards and Specifications for Erosion and Sediment Control, dated August 2005, at the
time of site plan review. The Proposed Action is not expected to result in any adverse impacts in
regard to stormwater.
Traffic
Future potential development of the 2.03 -acre site with a 2,870 SF gasoline filling station with
convenience store would result in an increase in traffic at the site. According to the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trafficware software, 2014, (which is based on ITE Trip
2
State Environmental Quality Review, Negative Declaration, Notice of Determination of Non -Significance
Generation, 9t" Edition), Land Use Code 853 for a Convenience Market with Gasoline Pumps
estimates 40.92 vehicle trips per weekday a.m. peak hour of adjacent street traffic and 50.92
vehicle trips per weekday p.m. peak hour of adjacent street traffic. Therefore, the future proposed
2,870 SF facility may generate 117 vehicle trips during the weekday a.m. peak hour and 146
vehicle trips during the weekday p.m. peak hour. Further evaluation of traffic impacts would occur
during the site plan review process.
Noise, Odor and/or Lighting
Future development of the 2.03 -acre site for a gasoline filling station with convenience store is not
expected to generate noise that exceeds the local ambient noise levels along Route 376. Noise
generated during demolition and construction activities will be temporary, and will be limited to the
hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on weekends in
accordance with Chapter 166, Section 166-7.C, of the Town Code. The facility would be well -lit
and all exterior lighting shall be directed away from adjoining streets and properties and shall not
cause any objectionable glare observable from such streets or properties. Illumination beyond the
property line will not exceed 0.5 footcandles in accordance with Section 240-23 of the Zoning
regulations. Hours of lighting may be limited by the Planning Board during the site plan review
process.
Solid and Hazardous Waste
Future potential development of the 2.03 -acre site with a gasoline filling station with convenience
store will generate solid waste during demolition activities and operation of the facility. According
to the Urban Land Institute Development Impact Assessment Handbook, 1994, a retail use is
expected to generate 0.001 tons per day per employee. The future facility with approximately 8
employees would be expected to generate 0.008 tons of solid waste per day or 0.24 tons per
month. Solid waste would be transported off-site by a licensed solid waste hauler for disposal at
the Dutchess County Resource Recovery Agency facility located on Sand Dock Road in
Poughkeepsie.
At the time of future development of the property, the existing underground petroleum storage
tanks on the 0.46 acre parcel would be removed and any impacted soil would be removed and
replaced under NYSDEC supervision. New double-wall fiberglass underground storage tanks
would be installed and registered with NYSDEC in compliance with current NYSDEC regulations.
Technologically advanced safety mechanisms would be used to ensure that the below -ground
petroleum tanks will not leak into groundwater, including the use of double -walled fiber glass tanks
and piping, in accordance with NYSDEC requirements.
Vegetation and Wildlife
The NYSDEC Environmental Resource Map indicates that there are known occurrences of
endangered, threatened, or rare species in the vicinity of the project site. A U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) online consultation report indicates the potential for the following species in the
M
State Environmental Quality Review, Negative Declaration, Notice of Determination of Non -Significance
vicinity of the project site: Dwarf Wedgemussel (endangered), Indiana Bat (endangered), and
Northern Long -Eared Bat (threatened). The report indicates that there is no Critical Habitat on the
project site. Future potential development of the site may result in 1.17 acres of physical
disturbance and will include some tree removal. Since there are no water resources within the
project site, no impacts to the Dwarf Wedgemussel would occur as a result of the proposed
rezoning or future development of the site. Removal of trees may require restrictions to the time
period when cutting is allowed, and consultation with the NYSDEC and the USFWS to ensure no
impacts to the bat species.
Historical and Archeological Resources
According to the NYS Office of Parks, Recreation, & Historic Preservation's Cultural Resource
Information System mapping, there are no National or State Historic Register sites on or adjacent
to the project area, and the site is not located within a known archeologically sensitive area.
Visual and Aesthetic Resources
The area proposed for rezoning is currently vacant property that is mostly wooded, with an
abandoned gas station and impervious surface on the adjacent parcel owned by the Applicant.
Future development of the 2.03 -acre site with a gasoline filling station with convenience mart would
eliminate the old, dilapidated structures and would feature appropriate fagade treatments and
landscaping in line with the community character of the Town. Details on the architecture and
landscaping will be determined by the Planning Board during the site plan review process.
Community Character
The Proposed Action is not expected to affect community character, since the proposed rezoning is
consistent with the existing zoning and uses along Route 376 and New Hackensack Road. Uses in
the vicinity of the project site include commercial uses such as restaurants and construction
company offices along Route 376 and New Hackensack Road, the Dutchess County Airport,
general office buildings, a medical office, and a religious facility. Residential development in the
vicinity generally feature detached single-family homes. Route 376 is recognized as a commercial
area of the Town and is a highly traveled State road. Future potential development of the site with
a gas station with convenience store would serve residents, employees of nearby businesses, and
visitors to the area, and is consistent with existing land uses along Route 376 and New
Hackensack Road. The trees located along the perimeter and neighboring property would be
maintained to reduce any potential visual effects on residential neighbors. The adjacent 0.46 -acre
parcel owned by the Applicant currently contains an abandoned gas station with mostly impervious
surface. With the proposed rezoning, future potential development of the 2.03 -acre site will include
the removal of this dilapidated gas station, and removal of underground petroleum bulk storage
tanks, and remediation of soils under NYSDEC supervision.

Re: Inspire Dutchess, LLC vs. Town of Wappinger
Dear Supervisor Thurston & Town Board Members:
Please be advised that the above referenced proceeding is a tax certiorari
matter for tax year 2017. The property consists of a nursing home or
assisted living facility (although we did not get into detail) which I believe
is commonly known as Morningside Manor, located at 135 Cooper Road.
The assessed value for the property is $595,000. After further
consideration the petitioner has determined that they were not in the
position to proceed with this matter, at least for the 2017. We have agreed
to discontinue the 2017 proceeding, with prejudice, without reduction.
Since there is no reduction for the 2017 assessment year, there is no refund
liability.
I enclose herewith a resolution for your consideration at the next Town
Board meeting.
Very truly yours,
STEN ;/ROBERTS, DAVIS & DIAMOND, LLP

Dear Supervisor Thurston & Town Board Members:
Joan F. Garrett -
James R. Haran— Please be advised that the above referenced proceeding is a tax certiorari.
Ian C. Lindars matter for the assessment years 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. This
proceeding involves multiple parcels that comprise the apartment complex
Darren H. Fairlie commonly known as Village Crest Apartments. There are eight parcels
Jessica Z. Segal directly associated with the apartment complex. There are also two
unimproved commercial properties across the street from the complex which
OF COUNSEL are not directly associated with that use.
Scott L. Volkman
Karen MacNish We have negotiated a settlement of the above referenced proceedings by
Jessica J. Glass reducing the total assessed value for the apartment complex parcels from
Meghan Mossey $14,500,000 to $13,500,000 for 2013 and then trending upwards as follows.
$13,700,000 for 2014; $13,900,000 for 2015; $14,100,000 for 2016; and
PARALEGALS $14,300,000 for 2017. We have also agreed to a three year stay so that there
Jennifer Arno can be no further challenges except as authorized by statute and the assessment
Julie A. Durkin
Sandra A. Oakley will remain at $14,300,000 for 2018, 2019 and 2020. There will be no
Dawn M. Laino reduction in the commercial vacant parcels, which are assessed at $1,310,400.
Christine M. Schnittert With the current equalization rate at 100% throughout these proceedings, this
Rita M. Worthington
settlement for each year would reflect the fair market value. As a matter of
convenience in order to avoid the difficulty of reducing the value over the eight
CLOSING COORDINATOR apartment complex parcels, the reduction for each year is being reflected on a
Maria L. Jones single parcel only, which is parcel 6259-02-635855.
