Dorothy Heights Drainage 4 F?ECEIVED OCT 10 199? Karen M. Evertts SUPERVjSOR,S E E7 Dorothy Heig�t9WA�PMR Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 Connie Smith P,O.Box 324 Middlebush Road Wappingers Falls, NY 12590 Dear Mrs. Smith: Here it is October 1997 and I still have had no solution from the Town of Wappingers Highway Dept. regarding the drainage that still exists on Dorothy Hts.. I have enclosed a copy of letter that was written back in March 1992 with a more detailed description of the drainage problem. I have also enclosed a copy of the schedule of Town Board Meeting. At this meeting I was told I had to get land owners signatures to have the road drainage go onto their property, I was told that all 3 residents would not sign for this drainage pipe. T then tried to get a curb put in front of my property down to the Bitzko's property#39. Mr. Foster told me this could not be done because water would sit there. At that same time that the road was repaved, Mr. Tomazin , who resides at #24, had a nice new curb put in front of his property extending past his driveway. 1 called Mr. Foster again and was told he could not do anything for me. I would also like to bring to your attention that a pipe goes across the road in front of# 19 &# 21. This pipe not only takes rain water from. one side of the road to the other, but takes water from the residence sub pump out of their basement. At that time I was fighting a loosing battle, I called your office on September 30, 1997 and left a message regarding guidance on same situation. On this day a brand new curb was once again put in front of#24, Tomazin residence. I also called Mr. Foster's office and left message to call me. He called my husband and told him a curb could not be put in front of my residence because water would sit there. I pay taxes just like any other resident on this road and some people can get things done and others just get the reply that nothing can be done". Once again, I would like this matter put on the next meeting with the Board. I would like to be notified when it will be on the agenda so I and the Bitzko's , #39 can attend. I also have pictures of the water problem which I will supply for review only. Sincerely, BJPFw,& Karen M. Events.

Smith : I would like to familiarize you with a drainage problem that exists on Dorothy Heights between 437 and #39 . Original problem was when the road was paved, the eslant of the road drains the water- .into the lot between #37 and #k39 . This water sometimes sits for weeks before it dries up . When the road was schedule-ad to be repava d last fall, I approached Mr. Foster perhaps to h'u`t: a drain at this low spot and let .it drain across the road into an existing swamp . Mr:. Foster got a verbal okay from Mr . Connolly who resides at #34. Mr . Foster said .it was to short of a notice to do anything before_ the paving was to be done . When the road was re,.pave~d a berm was put: in front. of 40 past 438 and into the existing swamp . :I asked Mr . Foster if a curb could be put from 437 down to and including 039 but he said the water would the=n sit on the road . He said he could put: a berm in front of ##37 property but this would drain they water from the road into this lot. between 437 and :39 . T did not want all this water to be routed directly into this area . I waited several weeks and heard noting from Mr . Foster . I called him, again to see if anything was going to be clone . He said again nothing could be done at this time . He said he would have to follow up with the village because Imperial Blvd . was blacked . Now that spring is near :I called Mr. foster, to see if anything had been settled regarding .:same .. Nothing had been done all winter . Mr . Poster tried to cleat. :in touch with the village again regarding Imperial Blvd . and was told it was not their responsibility . So here I .am getting no place . I would like this matter put on the next meeting with the Board . :I would like to be notified when it: will be on the agenda :sea I and The Bitzko ' s, 439 can attend. I hope it will be as soon as possible and not put aside until T call someone again . I. also recommend that: someone, perhaps an engineer, come, out to Dorothy Heights to seen the situation can sight and not. ,just on paper. . Enclosed please find a simple mai} of currant problem . Thank you in advance for your prompt. cooperation in this matter . "Yours truly, Daren M . Evertts 0,11 is 71 ,
