RE: Paper road fronting Tax Parcel ID# 6258-04-824140
As per our conversation in late September, this is a petition for action on a parcel of
property located off Cider Mill Loop between houses 9145 and#149_
The property is a paved road which the Highway Department does not recognize as a
town road. It seems that no public records name the owner of this property. Due to its
status as a"paper road," it is not maintained or plowed.
The end of the road is currently being used as a communal yard rubbish dumping area.
Although the town has posted a"No Dumping $500 fine" sign, the road continues to
serve surrounding neighborhoods with a free dumping ground. Within the last month, we
have witnessed the dumping, by professional services, of waste macadam, concrete mix,
and backhoe loads of dirt as well as cleared trees. The road is a source of unnecessary
traffic, a parking lot, and a place for people to loiter in their cars. The road is not
maintained and is increasingly an eyesore as the weeds push through the pavement.
We respectfully request that the Town consider the following possible actions:
-Allow us to acquire the property as part of our parcel
or
-Prevent further traffic on this road by removing the existing black top and planting grass.
If we are needed, please feel free to contact us at 296-1004.
Your attention in this matter is greatly appreciated. We enjoy living here and would
appreciate the eradication of this unnecessary road which encourages needless traffic and
dumping.
Sincerely,
Oswald and Mary Mantilla

Enclosed herewith please find memorandum on how to dispose of the Cider Mill Loop

and will have to be done very formally.
Very truly yours,

Kevin T. McDermott
DATE: May 24, 2004
RE: Cider Mill Loop Extension
Abandonment of Road
File No. 12951.0692
FACTS
Cider Mill Loop Extension was originally designed to connect the original Subdivision with
adjacent properties. The road was conveyed to the Town of Wappinger in connection with
the road dedication for the original Subdivision. While the road has been paved, it has not
been maintained by the Town of Wappinger Highway Department.
LAW
The Town owns this road by dedication,i.e. the Town owns the fee(title)to the road bed.
This must be distinguished from highways by use for which the Town only acquires a right
of way for the public use with the underlying fee generally held by abutting property
owners.
The question to be determined is what steps must the Town take to abandon this small road
that has been dedicated to the Town but not maintained by the Town's Highway
Department. The following provisions of Highway Law govern- §205, §207 and §208.
11Vsrp03kCommon\Wappinger\Town Board\Cider Mi111Memorandum-abandonment2.doc
SECTION 205
Any highway which that has not been traveled or used as a public highway for six years
shall cease to be a highway. The Town's Superintendent of Highways, with the written
consent of the majority of the Town Board, shall file and cause to be recorded in the Town
Clerk's Office a written description signed by him and the Town Board of each highway so
abandoned. Anyone contesting the closing of the road must bring an action within one year
from the date the Town's Superintendent files a description as required by §205. The
certification filed by the Superintendent must provide notice of time when the one year
limitation period becomes operative. Curiously,pursuant to the case law, notice to be given
to adjoining landowners is to be given by the County and not the Town. Town of Trenton v.
Greene, 78 Misc. 2d 976, 358, NYS 2d 660.
SECTION 207
If the Superintendent of Highways determines that a portion of any highway or street is
unnecessary for highway purposes,he is authorized to enter into an Order in the Town
Clerk's Office that such highway or street be discontinued and abandoned for public
purposes. pursuant to this section,the owners of land on both sides of the road to be
discontinued must,by written petition to the Town Superintendent,request the
discontinuance of the road. Once the Order is entered in the Town Clerk's Office that
portion of the road ceases to be a public highway. However, title still remains with the
Town Board and thus is subject to the provisions of Town Law §64Q.
Town-owned property may be sold subject to a permissive referendum and provided that the
Town receives fair and accurate consideration. In order to dispose of this property to one of
both of the abutting property owners,the Town should undertake an appraisal of the
property to determine value. If the abutting property owners wish to purchase it,the
Resolution authorizing the sale would be subject to a permissive referendum.
I am not sure about the subtle distinctions between§§205 and 207,however,to the extent
possible,we should be able to comply with the requirements of each to cover all bases.
