Smith, Supervisor Reference: Central Wappinger Water Improvement/Subdivisions Dear Supervisor Smith & Board Members: At the March 8th, 1999 Town Board meeting, the Board fielded two requests for water service for two-lot subdivisions in the Central Wappinger Water Improvement. One of the requests was on Roberts Road from Mr. and Mrs. Keeler, and the other request was from Jack Railing's office for a two-lot subdivision on Pye Lane. It is our opinion that providing central water from the Hilltop section of the Central Wappinger Water Improvement to a number of two or three lot subdivision is tantamount to providing water service to one larger density subdivision. We, therefore, recommended that the Town Board not grant approval of extending water services to these proposals until the source capacity problems that are existing in the Central Wappinger Water Improvement Area are straightened out. It is recommended, however, that the Applicant pursue the construction of an individual on site well to provide water supply to the proposed lot. This well would be temporary in nature, and must be approved by the Dutchess County Health Department and meet all their individual separation requirements. I have spoken to the Health Department regarding this, and although they would rather see all new lots tied into the existing control water system, they understand the situation that the Town Board now faces. There will need to be specific language placed on the filed map that dictates that once the Town has augmented its source, and the new lot could avail itself of the central water facility, they must properly abandon the well and tie into the central facility.

Smith Town Board RE: CWWIA - 2 - March 9, 1999 In the Roberts Roads situation spoken about above, I am aware that there are central sanitary sewer facilities available for the proposed subdivision. I do not know the specific location of the house referred to in the Pye Lane correspondence from Jack Railing's office, and would ask him to inform the Board if central sanitary sewer facilities are available. Having the central sanitary sewer facilities available is favorable as it relates to providing water from a temporary individual well. I have taken the liberty of copying Dan O'Connor of the Dutchess County Health Department of this letter, and I am asking him to respond to our office regarding the above. In my discussions with the Dutchess County Health Department, Mr. O'Connor emphasized the necessity of the Board pursuing the necessary improvements to the Town's central water facilities including developing Atlas, a possible interconnection with Poughkeepsie, and any other improvements necessary to allow for the proper development of the Town in the future. If there are any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact this office. Very truly yours, ~ /J ?' " cf/~. Joseph E. Paggi, Jr., P.E. JEP:law cc: Hon.
