Through: Zoning Administrator

Engineer to Town
Gentlemen,
I have reviewed the -letter datedMarch' 3, '1993. from Mr. Roberts: to Mr.
Parsons, pertaining to the "Impact of 'Bayswater' on Recreation Fees or
Parklands" and have the following comments to add to this subject -
The Planning Board, in all their deliberations on this subject, has been
guided by the Town's policy on such matter, as it existed when various
subdivisions have been before the Board.
such Town Policy has been established by and includes:
a. initial adoption of the Master (Comprehensive) Plan in 1963ears
b. Implementation of that policy during the tatrn's formative y
c. Refinement of the initial policy set forth in such Plan y
d. Review & adoption of the 1988 Comprehensive Plan, including the
Recreation and Open Space Element publication titled
e. Recreation Commission's (adoption of a) P
"Recreation Master Plan 1990"
Additionally the Planning Board has received comments from the Recreation
commission, together with staff report from myself. & the Engineer to the Town,
dealing with the needs of the Town & locational parameters for Recreation Areas.
All of the above have been an integral part of the PoLiCYof the
eedoTown
through
Wappinger in establishing the needs of the Town and supplying such
the subdivision process, as allowed by the state Enabling Statues.
The attachments to this letter of transmittal contain portions of the above
listed policies for your additional review. I would anticipate referencing such
policies., and this letter, in future reports to the Board when reviewing
subdivisions (and site plans) and recommending action by the Board.
In accordance with Mr. Roberts comments, we will strengthen and detail our
subdivision approving resolutions so as to satisfy the "Bayswater" requirement.
I would recommend that this item be placed upon a "workshop" agenda for
discussion. I would also suggest that the Recreation Commission be invited to
the workshop so that we are all in the same "ballpark" in this matter.

Additional Comments - by R. H. Arnold. 3/8193:
The above sites were generally acquired through the subdivision process and
are generally located in areas of densified development.
Eleven of the seventeen sites are active recreation areas while 6 remain
undeveloped (to 1990)
Additional sites have been acquired through the subdivision process since
the 1990 publication.
They include:
Airport Park @ Airport Drive
Subdivision Park @ Noto Development (Woodland Court)
The 1990 publication also contains a discussion of lands vs. monies;
describes the facilities and uses of each of the active areas;
outlines future proposals; and list some proposed land for
acquisition.

Comprehensive Plan - 1968
The Comprehensive Plan was adopted by the Planning Board after discussion &
public hearing in August of 1988. It was based upon studies undertaken by
Dutchess County (under contract with the Town) and discussion with various town
officials including the Town Board & Planning Board.
Three sections are paramount in establishing the necessary basis for
implementing recreation reservations (or money -in -lieu) during the subdivision
process.
The three sections are:
Goals & Objectives - Recreation (page 15):
Land Use Plan - Floodplain & Recreation (page 22)
Open Space Plan (page 25, .map opposite page 25), and -..
Background Studies - Survey Results - Recreation (page 36)
Population (page 49)
Community Facilities - Recreation (page 109)
[Existing] .Land Use (page 153)
The three sections are interrelated in forming the foundation upon which
"Reservation requirements" are based, during the subdivision
review process.
Based upon the BACKGROUND STUDIES, a personal knowledge of the desires of
the.people of the town, a knowledge of acceptable and desirable
planning and locational criteria, and continuous interaction with
the Recreation Commission, the GOALS & OBJECTIVES were formalized
and the LAND USE PLAN was adopted.
The PLAN does not "map" any new sites - this being the function of the
Planning Board, upon receipt of an application for subdivision
approval, and interaction with the Recreation Commission.

Subject: Locational characteristics - Recreation areas
1. The following locational characteristics were contained in my memo dated
December 12, 1988 (LAIgRENOS.mem) during the discussion on the LAIgRENCE
SUBDIVISION. and the DISCUSSION OF RECREATION LANDS: ,
1. In my letter of November 1, 1988 to the Recreation Commission Chairman, I
stated:
"The Board did not completely embrace this area for the location of a Torn
swimming pool, indicating a neighborhood activity as being more appropriate.
I indicated that a soccer field could be built in the flood plain area,
malting such area available a major portion of the time, while still providing
the measure of flood protection afforded by the flood plain. To this end, I have
outlined an appropriate area to the rear of lots 14 through 19. This concept
would only work, if the access to the "Park Area" was a fully paved town road,
and a paved parking area was included. Additionally neighborhood play equipment
could also be provided."
2. I also stated in that letter:
"Regardless of the location, the following parameters must be followed, now
and in the future whenever the Tovm requires land reservation for recreation
purposes.
The land must be
visible
accessible
usable, and
appropriately located for expansion
3. From the same letter:
Additionally - a note of strategy -
The park activity center must be built during the home sales period and be in
use prior to the first homeowners moving in.
The subdivider/developer may not have the use of the area during the
construction phase.
The land must be deeded to the Town prior to signing of the final plat, with
appropriate easement rights granted to the subdivider/developer for access for
park construction purposes.
Appropriate signage, as to the ownership and use, must be in place prior to the
home safes perioRay and H Arnold, 465Cuery Stmaintained.

Future Subdivision review
In the future, in considering the need for the reservation of recreation lands
(or monies), the following guide will be used:
Each subdivision will be reviewed on its face as to:
a. How the subdivision fits into the overall existing and future
density pattern of the Town
b. The location, the composition and level of use of surrounding
recreation facilities
c. The potential for future expansion or add-on to existing facility
d. Its location vs. "Open Space Network"
e. Its size
f. The potential for more extensive development in other nearby area
(future subdivisions)
Detail Findings must be made by the Planning Board that:
A proper case exist for requiring the developer to show a park on the
plat for playground or other recreational purposes
The following additional findings will be required in order for the Planning
Board to exercise its authority to impose a payment in lieu of setting aside
lands for park purposes:
That a park or park of adequate size cannot be properly located on the
plat or is otherwise not practical.

ADDRESS RFPLY TD: ( } POUGHKEEPSIE
( ) WAPPINGERS
In anticipation of Monday's meeting regarding the Fee Schedule, it is my recommendation that the
Board re-examine its policy on subdivision recreation fees. At present, subdivision recreation fees
are exempted from subdivisions contailung five or less lots. I am not sure of the exact historical
origin for this policy, however, I believe the intention was to exempt the small property owner who
wanted to give a lot or two to a child.
I know of no other municipality that has such a policy. Whenever a new lot is created, it is only a
matter of time before a new house is built and a new family moves in with their attendant
recreational noccls. It is my recotnn-lendation that every new lot created pay a subdivision recreation
fee.
Very truly yours,

The Attorney thought that perhaps this would require an amendment
to the Zoning Ordinance and would investigate the procedure.
MRS. PAINO moved that the Town establish a policy that the Recreation
Commission, in conjunction,with.the Planning_-Board;___acquirezland.:fxom
the d6veloper,:rather.than.cash payment for each lot, whenever possible.
Seconded by Mrs Smith
Motion Unanimously Carried
Mr. Farina wished to have discussion on this motion and noted that
building lots in Dutchess County cost anywhere from $60,000 to $80,000
and our Ordinance states that a developer must give 10% of an approved
subdivision lot for land for recreation, so the developer is getting
a real bargain. He and Mr. Holt discussed the concept of establishing
a land bank which would allow a developer to donate land from other
property he owns in the Town other than that particular subdivi!on,
if acceptable to the Town. Based on these figures, he would recommend
the sum of $1,000.00 be assessed to the developer; he did, however,
vote for the motion of $900 per lot when the vote was taken.
MRS. PAINO moved to authorize the Attorney to investigate the ,legality
astablishing a .-_and bank in regard to developers donating laid .for
recreation purposes.

contract for the chipper which the Supervisor was previously authorized
to sign. It has not come back to his desk and in order to receive
the equipment, he needs to present the contract to the supplier.
Mrs. Paino noted that the contract was in the possession of the Attorney
and she will forward it to Mr. Croshier tomorrow.
Notification was received from the New York State Department of
Transportation establishing a speed limit of 30 MPH in the Royal
Ridge Development, which was formerly 35 MPH. A copy was forwarded
to Mr. Croshier_which authorizes him to install the proper,signs in
that area.
MRS. SMITH moved to accept the correspondence and place it on file.

determine
the actual boundaries of the Town land. Mr. Holt had discussed the
swap of lands and Mr. Paggi had prepared a sketch for the Board's
review, however, he has been advised by the Town Clerk that recreation
property transfer requires special action. The Attorney stated that
it would have to be taken into consideration with the State Legislature
which cannot happen until they go into session in 1989.
C j
MRS. PAINO moved to authorize the Attorney to prepare a resolution to
submit to the State Legislators for their consideration when their
session reconvenes.
Seconded by Mrs. Smith
Motion Unanimously Carried
There was some discussion on the sketch presented due to the fact
that it was not an even swap in that Mr. Fulton would be acquiring
more land. During many meetings between Mr. Fulton and Mr. Holt,
this was mutually agreed for the benefit to better access to the
barn for the Recreation Commission. It was agreed that further
discussion was needed and a future work shop would be scheduled with
the Commission to determine if the sketch should be amended.
Another request from Mr. Holt was for permission to spend up to $600.00
from the Schlathaus Fund to have four circuits wired for the stage at
the Schlathaus Park.
MRS. SMITH moved to grant permission to the Recreation Commission to
expend $600.00 from the Schlathaus Fund, as requested.
Seconded by Mr. Valdati
Motion Unanimously Carried
Nancy Drennan, Recreation Commission Member, requested the Board to
consider raising the fees in lieu of land to $900.00 from developers;
the present fee is $650.00 and after research of adjacent towns, she
felt the $900.00 was a fair fee. She assured the Board in this letter,
that the Commission's position will always be to first take land when-
ever possible; fees are taken only when the land is unacceptable for
various reasons. The Town ofLaGrangecharges $600'per building lot,
Poughkeepsie --$800, East Fishkill--$900 and Fishkill--$1,000.
MRS. PAINO moved to raise the fees in lieu of land for recreation to
$900.00 per lot.

Gentlemen:
You will recall that, in April 1970, the Planning Board voted
against accepting your recommendations regarding acquisition of
recreational land from developers.
Your Commission again asked for action, following which the
Planning Board appointed a Committee to study this matter. A
report was received from said Committee, and following are the
Planning Board's recommendations regarding acquisition of
recreational land from developers:
1. Subdivisions of 20.acres or more are subject to 5a/
recreation donations prior to final approval. Acceptance
to be based on Recreation commission and Planning Board
approval, If land not acceptable a contribution in lieu
of land be accepted. The amount to be determined by the 5%
rule as to acreage and value of acreage; to be determined
by assessed value at time of final approval. Monies so
received must be used in an area which could logically
be used by those residents of development involved in
contribution.
2. Money contribution in lieu of land based onsamount per
lot is.unacceptable; as there is a great variation in value
of lots, and thus a form of discrimination which could
lead to legal test.
3. Taking of many small parcels is not recommended as they
are difficult to develop and manage. It is recommended
that the monies received be used to develop the existing

Re: Recreation Lands and Subdivisions
Gentlemen:
At a meeting of the Recreation Commission on
May 29, 1970, it was suggested that I write to you
to spell out my statement to the Recreation Commis-
sion concerning recreation lands and subdivisions.
Section 277 Subdivision 1 of the Town Law pro-
vides that planning boards may require that suitable
lands be devoted to a recreation area and that such
area be improved to the extent required by the plan-
ning board. There is no exact definition of what is
suitable nor is there any exact requirement for a
specific land area.
The Recreation Commission understands that this
question lies within your province, but they would
like to be consulted prior to any approval of sub-
divisions and they would like an opportunity to walk
the land with the Planning Board and to render advise
to the Planning Board as to the suitability of the
land.
While each case would depend upon its own merits,
the Recreation Commission believes ten (10) percent
of the land should be devoted to the recreation.
In certain cases where par V lands are located
nearby, the Commission believes that the sum of $250.00

per lot would be a suitable alternate.
If you wish, I will assist in corporating any
of these recommendations a`�t your subdivision
regulations.

LOCAL LAW NO.I4 - OF THE YEAR 2004
A Local Law entitled "Local Law No. of the Year 2004,. Amending Chapter 122 and
various other sections of the Town of Wappinger Code".
BE IT ENACTED by the Town Board of the Town of Wappinger as follows:
Section I: Title: 11 ir
This Local Law shall be known and cited as Town of Wappinger "Local Law No.#4 of
the Year 2004, Amending Chapter 122 and various other sections of the Town of Wappinger Code"
and by the adoption thereof, shall amend Chapter 122 to include a new Article, Article IV, to
include a Schedule of Fees charged by the Town for various permits, licenses, and other
activities, as set forth below, and which shall also amend various sections of the Town Code, and
which shall also increase and/or modify the calculation of some of the fees charged by the Town.
Section It: Legislative Intent:.,
The Town. Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the Town and its
residents to clearly and concisely enumerate the fees charged by the Town for various
permits, licenses.and other activities regulated by the Town. The Town Board has further.
determined that enumerating all such fees in one location in the. Town Code will provide
residents of the Town with easy access to the fees charged by the Town, and will.help to
ensure uniform application of Town fees. The Town Board has further determined that
some of the fees charged by the Town are insufficient for the work being performed, have
not been adjusted for many years (in some cases, decades), and some are calculated in a
confusing or unclear manner. As such, -some of the fees are in need of being raised to
more reasonable and current rates, and/or are in need of being subject to new formulas for'
calculating. Accordingly, it is the determination. of the Town Board that Chapter122 of
11Vsrp03%Cammon\Wappinger\Town Hoard%LOCAL LAWIFeeslLaw-ResGI-Hearing.doc
the Town of Wappinger Code should be amended to include a new Article, known as
"Article TV", "Schedule of Fees", to enumerate, and in some instances increase and/or
modify the calculations of, the fees charged by the Town for various permits, licenses and
other activities regulated by the Town. It is the further determination of the Town Board
that `other sections of the Town Code which reference fees for vanou , permits, licenses and -
other activities should be amended to make reference to the new article (Article N) of
Chapter 122 of the Code.
Section III:

following Article, "Article IV", "Schedule of Fees", which shall appear in Chapter 122 of the Town.
