Bettina.
The principals from Diamond and Dakota appeared which included Ted Grogan VP Diamond
Properties, and Franklin. Mr. Grogan explained the history since their ownership. He explained
that BJs has in their lease the right to approve whom they put in there. He suggested residential
is the hook to get people up there. Brian Donato from Dakota Properties gave a PowerPoint
Presentation that is attached to the back end of these minutes. He went over the plans for the
residential development. He showed the plans for five 3-story buildings. He mentioned a plan
sent the Board last week, but nothing was given to the Town Clerk for recording in these
minutes. The plan is to make this a true mixed income development and perhaps later on for
lower incomes. Councilman Beale asked about the HCR housing. He stated that this is not a
subsidized housing. They will get the Capital Costs subsidized from New York State HCR, who
would provide up front Capital but does not subsidize their rent. There is a maximum income
that can qualify. Councilman Casella asked are the apartments necessary for the investment to
work. Mr. Grogan answered no. Mr. Alexander explained why would the amount of money
Diamond and Dakota be the determinant factor on what they could do up there. Councilman
Casella asked why a code change is needed given that they already have the ability to put
residential uses up there. Mr. Alexander explained there is no reason to re-face the buildings
without the synergy of the apartments or re-design the site. He explained BJs is excited about
having 144 families nearby to walk over to BJs to shop and have their employees live there.
Supervisor Thurston asked, "Can you put two new tenants back into those two big buildings
without anything else and what would those tenants look like?" Mr. Grogan received six calls
today from prospective tenants such as Adventure Park, a Furniture company, Kildebaker, and an
indoor pool hall; but, most of the applicants are lackluster in credit quality. Councilwoman
Bettina asked if they reached out to colleges. Mr. Alexander responded back, "Did You?"
Planner Malcolm handed out a document to the board, but did not provide one to the Town Clerk
for recording in these minutes. He addressed all the permitted uses and special uses. He cited
permitted uses where owners have the right. For example, government building,places of
worship,private education, daycare, libraries, museums, offices, retail stores, crafts and artisan
studios, restaurants, bars and restaurant brewers,personal service, theaters, training schools,pet
groomers, gyms,parks and playgrounds, health care offices, medical or dental laboratories, farm
uses including a farm produce stands, and bed and breakfasts. A special permit is something that
the town looks at a little more closely to see if it meets the specific criteria. Catalogue
showrooms, fraternal recreation clubs, community clubs, commercial recreation facilities and
entertainment uses, motor vehicle towing and repair services, apartments or mixed use, sewerage
treatment,public utilities, and telecommication towers. The changes they plan to make are:
Veterinarian Offices and Commercial kennels without outdoor runs
Manufacturing, Fabricating, Finishing, Assembly or repair of products including retail sale of the
products, i.e. and artisan studio, metal working
Microbrewers, distillers, Hotels, and Motels
Warehousing and Self-Storage with specific Constraints, which would be warehousing self-
storage and rental warehousing
They would increase the height of the apartments from 2.5 stories to three stories, which would
allow the redevelopment of lot 5 in a more efficient way
The height of the mixed use would increase from 2.5 stories or 35 feet to 4 stories and 50 feet
with commercial on the ground floor with 3 stories of residential above. You would get density
bonuses sub-districts to encourage dense development in certain areas of the site. These changes
are proposed in this legislation. Those details can be gleaned from the video on the Town's
Town of Wappinger Page 2 Printed 7/13/2022
Special Meeting Minutes July 7, 2022
website. Councilman Phillips stated that we would be changing a town-wide zone for what
might happen. Attorney Horan explained that the 2.5 to 3 stories means a pointed roof versus a
flat roof. He explained for the applicant to get a variance they would need approval before the
applicant can get financing. He said that is more beneficial to the applicant to change the code
than to get the variance. Councilman Beale said he wanted to see fewer buildings with higher
heights. Planner Malcolm explained that it much more beneficial to build up that to build out.
Mr. Alexander explained that this is the first of three processes with the Town, which includes a
site plan special use and SEQRA review.
Resident Grace Martin likes the vision of the project. If it can do it under the present code then
the town will use control. She explained the Galaxia has no vision from the street. She asked
about how many are for senior housing. She does not like the vision of building the housing
first. She said that two stories are better for seniors. Mr., Grogan said there are no plans to make
a connection to Hopewell Road. He said we are open to anything and will do whatever it takes.
Mr. Alexander South Hills mall is looking into multi-family. Former Supervisor Gutzler asked
about three story walkups and provisions for senior citizens. Brian acknowledged that it is a
walkup.
